They say it's about $16K for the conversion. If you figure your GT/CS is worth at least $25K-$30K, you're coming up with $41K-$46K to build a $30K car. I've seen convertibles going for $15K-$20K. If it were me and I wanted a "Shelby Convertible" I'd sell the CS, buy a convertible and add the...

I don't know Neil. The part I'm looking at has a molded lip around the bottom, a tab for a screw mount at the top and the ends over the outer light and near the bottom of the gas filler support look formed.

Not mine, but saw it on Spokane Craigslist this morning and thought I'd pass it along. https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/greenacres-1966-hi-country-special/7455141384.html Steve One of 276 1966 Mustang Hi Country Special coupes made. This rare beauty is in its original Aspen Gold, very...

My condolences on your loss. I wish I'd had the opportunity to meet him. Steve

I bet you are. I can't wait to see it finished!

I got your back, brother!

More afraid he'd sucker me in to helping! I'd rather just wait and then take it for a drive when he's done. Steve

They look nice but I'm glad I'm 400 miles away when you get ready to put in the motor mount bolts and starter! :grin:

Probably the hard way. I saved them to my computer, rotated them 90 degrees clockwise with "Paint", saved under a new name and then reposted them. Steve

Let's see if I got it right.

I'm by no means a Chevy fan, but I just can't understand why Ford wants $500k for a GT but Chevy can sell a fully loaded Corvette for around $100K.

The only issue I'm aware of is horsepower limitations. I've heard stories of engines grenading when you try to go above a certain level. 450-500 hp seems to stick in my mind. 460hp for a 5.0 is real close to what the '07-'08 GT500's with a 5.4 put out (500).

Sad to hear this. My condolences to his family. Steve

Sorry I'm late. Just got back from vacation. Happy Birthday to my brother from another mother! Steve

I need to get new glasses or a better monitor. I didn't catch the plugged vacuum port. :rolleyes:

Scott, I think you're right. I didn't look close enough. Steve

Rob would be the expert here, but I'll chime in and then he can correct me if needed. :grin: 1) There are two ports because some cars use a dual diaphragm vacuum advance unit. Yours is a single advance so you would use the carburetor (timed) vacuum. 2) The engine does have PCV, and it did go to...

The old saying is that mechanics have the worst running cars. :wink: Steve

I found this information on the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (effective January 1, 1968) concerning the engine VIN. Public VIN (since January 1, 1968 visible through the windshield) In the United States, the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966...

I can't give you specifics on an early '68 390, but I can say generally, parts will be date coded within a month of the build date. I've heard though that the strike in late '67 caused date codes to be all over the map, so the date codes you mentioned are possible. The way to be sure is if the...
