    1968 Why not convert my GT/CS to convertible

    They're different. Convertibles have an inner frame rail that coupes don't have. Neil

    For Sale 1968 gt/cs

    I spoke with the dealer some time ago. He seems to think it's worth $25K. I was the high bidder last time @ $18K. And that would be my max opinion of value for its overall condition. Neil

    1968 Dusk Rose "Playboy Pink" GTCS

    IIRC, PlayboyPink was only a '67 color. I suppose it could have been ordered as a special color in '68, but I doubt it. Peggy used to ask me if I would paint her '57 T-Bird pink, but I told her my spraygun would not spray pink paint. (It would regurgitate it.) Neil

    For Sale 1968 gt/cs

    Been listed on E-Bay for several months @ higher prices (Buy It Now). Then 2 auctions that topped out at $20K & $18K, Reserve Not Met. Now relisted at Buy It Now for $27,900. Looks like it needs virtually everything redone. A good candidate, but priced out of reality. item 175248289674 (Sorry...

    1968 Upper Console

    I want to install an upper console in my CS but need info/guidance on how to do it. You-Tube & Assembly Manual no help. Brett Cooley says he remembers a video on the subject, but I can't find it. I prefer not to remove the headliner in order to install the front bracket, and need to locate the...

    1968 Why not convert my GT/CS to convertible

    I've been involved in 3 coupe-to-convertible conversions (all 3 1968 models). There are so many intricate differences between the two models, I hope the shop you use is aware of them. The shop's cost to you will be astronomical (very labor-intensive). Been there, done that, doing all the grunt...

    1968 Carburetor Questions

    I use the small hole (adjacent to the large hole) as Arlie described. You have to modify the linkage as follows: Remove the linkage rod and drill a small hole in the end that will go into the small hole. (It should be a very small hole to allow a small cotter pin insertion.) When the linkage rod...

    1968 1968 gt/cs

    It needs paint & interior. Body panels are all good, has a new dual exhaust system, tail lite lenses & bezels are new, all new hoses & belts, engine runs very smooth- but I'll do a compression check anyway and verify oil pressure. Neil

    Wanted '69 Low back Bucket seats/w headrests

    Looking for '69 type low back bucket seats with head rests for my next GT/CS project. The '69's are a better design than the '68's. Color not an issue, as the seats will be re-upholstered Black. Neil

    1968 Lower Ball Joints

    I would soak the nut with penetrating oil, let it sit overnight, then apply heat (propane), then impact wrench (socket). If that doesn't work, split the nut. Neil
