    1968 Good news / Bad news from the 2011 Recognition Guide

    Arlie ... if you keep using all those big "10 dollars" words I'll have to get out my dictionary to see what you're talking about ... :grin: Have to agree though, since there seemed to be some nasty comments about Paul's book being posted here a while back. Most of the folks on this site seem...

    1968 Beating the heat! Any thoughts on radiators?

    Thanks everyone! Awesome info and exactly what I need to know. Again, just want to do it right and only do it once ... Further to our new set of headers, I'd highly recommend Stan at Ford Powertrain Applications that built this set for us. Stan was mentioned in another thread on this site and...

    1968 Beating the heat! Any thoughts on radiators?

    Greetings all! Well, we're just about to start the final round (I hope) of work on our "S" code 390 GT/CS. The plan is to pull the engine and install a new set of Tri Y headers that just arrived from Stan down at Ford Powertrain Applications in Puyallup, Washington. He built them from a...

    Friday Joke

    Golfers are wonderful people ... A husband and wife are on the 9th green when suddenly she collapses with a heart attack! "Help me dear," she groans to her husband. The husband calls 911 on his cell phone, talks for a few minutes, picks up his putter and lines up his putt. His wife raises...

    1968 It's saved....

    Just re-licenced our GT/CS yesterday morning (for pleasure use only) for a 6 month period and it ran just under $400.00 in total. Our BC Insurance for pleasure use only is no driver under 10 years experience, no more than 6 times per calendar month to and from work, school, or university, etc...

    1968 Side scoop screws?

    Go to "The Source" ...! Your best bet is to contact Bob T (Mr. HCS!), who has complete rebuild kits for the GT/CS and HCS side scoops, including the proper screws. We got a pair from him to rebuild our side scoops during the restoration work we did on our car and they are awesome kits at a...

    . 1967 Pebble Beige convertible on Ebay

    Got to admit that PB doesn't look too bad on this convertible ... I guess it is a colour that would "grow on you" the more you drove it?

    For Sale Fan shroud

    BB shroud? Does anyone know if the shroud for the 390 big block was a different part number to a small block shroud? We'd like to replace the missing shroud on our "S" code as it gets WAY too hot when we get bogged down in slow moving traffic or backed up in highway work zones. We were held...

    Notes to self ... Notes to self: 1. Don't stand with my back to the sun when taking photos so that my shadow is not profiled onto the car ... 2. Get out the garden hose and some soap and clean the engine bay on the car in my eBay auction ... 3. Go back to high school and re-take English...

    For Sale AutoTrader

    Asked for some info ... I just sent this dealership an email asking why there aren't any factory hood locks on this "all original" GT/CS. I also asked them if they have a Marti report on the car. We'll see what they reply ... :wink:
