Alaska and Hawaii, then I would have driven it in all 50 states. Alaska's still a possiblity, but pricewise is a bit much to ship to Hawaii and back just for a drive. Happy New Year everyone. Bill

You might want to try A Mustang Ranch near Eatonville, WA, (www.amustangranch.com), unless you can get the items you need elsewhere. I have dealt with them for the past twenty some odd years and have been quite happy with them. I don't remember if he still has the fog light assembly but give...

I have to agree with Arle, the mustang has more than 1K miles on it. If you look at the photo of the odometer, the left most zero is out of align, where it would be turning just past 100,000. (I've noticed this on mine when it has turned 100,000; 200,000; 300,000 and 400,000 until a few more...

Jester: Per Kentucky Mustang Parts: C8DE-9C485-C is for the 170-302 2V engines C8OE-9C485-B is for the 302/351 4V engines C8OE-9C485-C is for the 390/428 4V engines Hope this helps. Here's the web page I obtained the info: http://www.kentuckymustang.com/category_s/1912.htm Middle of the...

Hi Al If you already don't have one, you will probably need the rear mounting bracket also shown on the same page which CougarCJ is reflecting the knobs. When I installed my center console it was missing the bracket so I had to get one for it. Luckly my mustang guy had the knobs and bracket...

Actually FART is Swedish for Speed. (I got curious and looked up 'Fart Magazine' via google. "In the late fifties and into the early sixties, there was a Swedish car magazine called FART, Fart being the Swedish word for speed.") So if we take both discriptions we have a fast hurricane. Bill

Ryan, You ought to bring it to the Yakima show on the 22nd of September. They have a separate class for 1968 California/High Country Specials. Richland used to have them separate but the last three years they have combined them with the '68 coupes. If enough 68 Specials they may break them...

Lucas lights You might want to check out any English Automotive swap meets. I went to one about five years back near Seattle and found a set of correct Lucas lights for about $150.00. The vender didn't know what he had was also used on our Specials. The only thing wrong on one of them was a...

I also am one of those who keep their Special somewhat original. I have had mine since new and have only added those items which could be considered 'stock.' Upper and lower consoles, vacumn assisted brakes, disc brakes. Mine is not one which sits in the garage - with over 480,000 miles, I...

Thanks for the birthday wishes. Currently my Special is at the Mustang Ranch/Painters having the final rub out on the paint. Then I'm having the radiator replaced, the old core was getting fairly dinged. Since the price of having it recored or replaced was the same, I went with replacement...

Hi Neil, you were up late. I've seem to remember hearing about the 13.2 volts somewhere, but I wasn't sure. The voltage regulator was a new one I put in at the show, so could it be the alternator? I think it's about 5-6 years old. Bill

Okay guys I need some ideas as to what my problem is. As those who were at the Concord, CA, show last weekend, I had a problem with the battery 'boiling over'. I checked the fluid level there and there were a couple which were a little high, so I was able to lower the level to the marks...

I finally made it home and catching up on the forum, the two Canadians and I took the coast and senic route back north. I too wish to thank Mike and his family for putting on a great feast, no wonder they went though a lot of food - it was delicious. I enjoyed meeting everyone and had a great...

Guess I'd better add my name to the list attending. I will be leaving the Tacoma, WA, area Tuesday with a couple other friends with Mustangs from Canada, a 67 Coupe and a 68 Coupe, and amble on down I-5. We will be stopping at Roseburg Tuesday night, then stopping at Redding for Wednesday...

Every year during Labor Day weekend (end of August/beging September) the International Mustang Meet puts on their shows. One year in Canada, the next in the US. This year it is in Winnipeg and in 2013 it is suppose to be in Bozeman, MT; and the following year (2014) I believe it will be hosted...

I enjoyed the Parksville show last year, however the ferry costs are a bit prohibitive. But I plan on making it up there another time. BTW Tanner is no longer with me. He had to be put down a couple weeks ago due to congentical heart disease. But we had over 11 great years together. Bill

I have had my 1968 GT/CS since I bought it new from Haywood Ford, Haywood, CA, and it was off. Also in Pauls 1996 Registry book page 97 it states "A slight misalignment of the end caps is normal. When the trunk lid is closed, there is usually a slight mismatch with the top of the end spoiler...

My 68 GT/CS is currently in the shop - at A Mustang Ranch, in Eatonville, WA - waiting to be painted and having the radiator recored. It's primarily an occasional driver however I have over 485,000 miles on it. I say "I" since I've owned it since new. It's an Acapulco Blue 302 4bbl C-4...

I'm thinking about making the trip down myself to the Golden Gate MCA show. I'm having my GT/CS painted this winter, so it should be fresh and ready to show. I'm getting the whole car repainted earlier than planned due to the fire under the hood in August. I was going to wait one more year...

Here are some photos I took, one of the GT/CSs - in the foreground the three in Stock Class and the backgound shows the two in the Modified Class. I also took a photo of the scorched underhood from the fire last month (Power Steering Return Failure Thread). The last photo is of the award...
