    1968 Lucky find

    Mel Burns license plate frame Found another part for my car. Original dealer frame from Mel Burns Ford in Long Beach California. Probably a little later than 1968, but still worth while.

    1968 Lucky find

    The GT/CS restoration is pretty much stalled for now. Hard to go home after working with car parts for 40+ hours a week, and work on my own car. I tell my wife that it will be my retirement job.

    1968 Lucky find

    Last week my boss and I cleaned out a large car part estate in SoCal. Two enclosed trailer loads and two pickups loaded full. GT/CS specific parts too. Two pairs of NOS California Special quarter scripts, and two used trunk lids. One of the trunk lids still has the corner seals installed...

    For Sale GTCS for Sale

    The side marker change happened approximately 2nd-3rd week in February 1968 at the San Jose plant for Mustangs. The first 200 GT/CS's were not all prototypes. The introduction, debut, cars on the stage, are thought to be the hand built ones. Unconfirmed if some or all of those debut cars are...

    1968 January 1968 390 Date Code 390 Block Questions

    1968 Ford cars and parts manufacturing were interrupted by UAW strike which started on Sept 6, 1967. It ended on October 22, 1967. Cars shipped after the strike could have some components with non-typical date patterns. I would guess that the original engine for a Jan 25, 1968 built car to...

    LOL, I know. RS-SS-GT-CS wouldn't fit, plus, that would just be ridiculous sounding.

    When you say "the first of the year" you are referring to the "model year", not the calendar year, correct?

    Oh, no! Hoping for a speedy recovery. I guess that it is lucky that you didn't smack the back of your melon.

    SOLD 1968 HCS Royal Maroon 289 3 speed

    First thing, get the shock tower braces or an export brace installed. Those are structural pieces. The fog lights are all wonky in the grille, should be straight and level. Your eyes are drawn to the them. The engine is clearly not the original 289. Is it a 302? Is that an Edelbrock 4v...

    Wow, shortest list of options on a Marti Report that I have ever seen. The absolute lowest price 289-2V 1968 HCS likely sold.
