    For Sale Fog Lights

    Yeah. And probably would include the Brooklyn Bridge as part of the purchase. I've seen ads on E-Bay with outlandish prices before. Don't know what these people are thinking. Neil

    1968 Brake question

    You mentioned that the fluid level remains OK in the MC, so chances of external leakage is nil. I've seen this hundreds of times in my youth when I worked for my dad in his garage. The seals in the MC leak internally allowing the brake pedal to slowly sink to the floor. Trust me on this- you've...

    1968 Brake question

    Unless you see SEE any external leakage, the Master Cylinder is bypassing inside. Then replace the Master Cylinder. Neil

    SOLD 1968 GT/CS Sunlit Gold C Code Auto

    I was able to track down the PO of the Gold GT/CS that did the restoration and was then damaged at the Russo-Steele Auction in 2010. He informed me that the damage was minimal (superficial paint scuffing from the tent). The car was then repainted and sold at a Mecum Auction in 2011 for $35K...

    SOLD 1968 GT/CS Sunlit Gold C Code Auto

    A beauty, NICELY optioned. I wonder when the restoration was done. I would assume that if it was done by an MCA member it was done correctly. I'd like to see photos of the suspension & belly. Since my physical mobility is limited now, Id be tempted. Neil

    Nz gt/cs

    I just got an e-mail from the new owner of my Black CS in New Zealand. She's delighted and sent me 2 photos: one of her with her new car, and one with my last two restorations. I had sold the Highland Green CS to 'Hatchdog' a few years ago and he later sold it to a fellow in NZ. Both new owners...

    Out of commission

    Thanks for all the kind words and concern. The old body's coming along OK, and I'm moving about more freely. Time is my ally. I believe I'll be pretty much able to get back to normal after the holidays. Thanks again everyone. Neil

    Out of commission

    Well, I've done it now. Yesterday I fell over backwards, landed on my tailbone, fractured a vertebrae, tore some skin on the back of my right arm, and spent the afternoon in the emergency room at the local hospital. Now we need to make an appointment with a spinal surgeon to 'glue' the broken...

    SOLD 1968 HCS Royal Maroon 289 3 speed

    5 obvious glitches I noticed: The fuel line at the left front should be tight against the frame rail & clamps to secure it. The fuel line in the engine bay is incorrect/mis-routed with the long hose to the carb. The HCS decals on the side scoops are backwards. The tail light bezels black border...
