Plus it will be much easier now to replace that right front (battery tray) apron. Steve

Count me in for 100% of what Rob said as well. You don't want to get blast media into the engine or tranny. I've had a couple of cars blasted with aluminum oxide, but I'm thinking the next one I do will be with dry ice. A lot less cleanup! They also may be able to do the underside without a...

It doesn't have the correct water passage at the front for the C/M series engines that I've seen, so I don't think it's a 400M. What is the bore diameter? If you could give the bore and main bearing diameters, it should be easier to track down. It may be a Mercury boat motor as well. Their...

My GT/CS had an ashtray in the rear inner panel, but it wasn't a convertible panel. I always thought the convertibles had a narrower seat back and the top of the interior panel was wider and open at the top for the top frame. Steve

Shelby probably wanted a street version of his Terlingua racing coupes.

It can be saved, just cost a bit. Go to a couple of boat shops to get bids. Steve

Very Cool!

No problems here. Steve

Member "Wallace" was talking about cutting the roof off his car and making a convertible. https://californiaspecial.com/forums/threads/why-not-convert-my-gt-cs-to-convertible.14292/ Maybe you guys could get together and salvage the top for your car, or contact the people he was going to use and...

Neil, looks like the new software awards "participation trophies" :D and it counts all our previous posts, so we were awarded retroactively.

Funny. I was automatically logged in to the new format the first two days, and then today wasn't and had to log back in. Login still works though. Steve

That article was poorly researched. In addition to not listing the HCS, they listed over 9,000 '72 Sprint specials, but not the 1806 '71 Boss 351's or 398 '72 R code HO's, including just 13 convertibles.

It's one of the Legendary GT continuation cars, but I think they're reaching for the moon with that price.

You did a fantastic job! Very nice. Steve

I agree with previous posts. I would also say for just cruise nights, occasional driving around town, etc., the stock suspension and brakes will be just fine. You may have to replace some of those components because the car was sitting for so long, but you won't need the extra expense of higher...

The Dalles isn't a very big town. Probably everyone with an interest in cars in the area knew where it was. Not necessarily an inside job. I'll watch for it here. Steve

Found this on Craigslist this morning, if anyone needs a project. Elk, Wa. is a little north of Spokane. Arlie, do you have this one in the database? https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/elk-68-mustang-california-special/7548129447.html

You'd spend that cutting apart one of the repops and welding it back together to make it fit right.

The driven gear would depend on which rear end ratio and tire size the car had originally. Also, someone may have changed the gear in the past. IIRC, one size, 15 tooth I think, was not available for a while, might still not be available, and a different tooth count might have been used. It's...
