This is interesting, the build date for our car was March 18 1968, and the date code on the 289 engine tag is C7. If I am reading this right, it would indicate March '67 was the build date for the engine. The engine has the serial number stamped in the block so I know it is the correct...

Great work Paul, makes it all worth while, doesn't it. Now, reap your rewards and enjoy. Dave

Robert, I've been thinking along the same lines on the three point belts, because I feel they are safer and certainly not as restrictive as the original belts. The only thing that 's holding be back, no pun intended, is that they would hang down when you are showing the car and I really don't...

Hi Paul We are fortunate to have two copies of each of your books, one copy signed and the other copy not. We are also looking forward to the next ( signed ) edition. Before you go to print with your latest book, will there be an avenue to check with you to confirm that our cars are registered...

Thank you Casey. I was hopeing you would say that about the brightness in the headlight position. I may try replacing the siginal light switch anyway, seeing as how I have already purchased a new one, but If this doesn't do the trick I may try the LEDs. Dave

Casey, how do the lights look in the head/park light position? Are they overly bright or do they look original? I have a problem with my dash lights dimming down when I apply the brakes, and I am wondering if these LEDS would make a difference. I've done everything that I can with inproving the...

Hello Jon, my calendars arrived today, thank you very much. Thank you also for your input and effort which made it possible to compile this little piece of CS history. I would like to wish you, and yours, and each and every one of you, a safe and happy Holiday Season and prosperous New Year...

Hook, those are the covers that I am using too. They fit perfectly and they don't take anything away from the looks of the Car. They also hide the Marchals nicely on those ocassions when you really don't want them to stand out. They are certainly worth picking up until something beter comes...

Brian, I looked at the site that you posted and none of those covers look like what I have. The lettering on the covers that I have is much smaller and is on the bottom left corner of the cover. Sorry that I can't post a photo but there maybe someone else who can. If not, I will send a photo to...

I am using KC soft covers too, and they are a perfect fit. I got a set about two years ago, still in the blister pack on ebay. I searched ebay under KC soft light covers, or something similiar to that, and there were listings for both black and white covers. These covers come in different...

Thank you Jon, I'm going to print that page and bring it to the dealer. If they can't get the calendar, at least they will know that I wasn't making it up. That will give me some credibility for the next time. Dave

I checked with a couple of Ford dealers here in Eastern Canada, and they can't track down any information on a calendar from Ford. They suggested that it may have been an individual dealership which ordered calendars for themselves from someone other then Ford. They are still looking. Dave

Hello Doug, according to the Marti report our CS was built on March 18th. and the serial # is 150383. How does this compare with yours? I don't know if there are any casting numbers on the outside of the block to indicate if it is a 289 or 302 block, but it is cast into the valley on top of the...

Thank you Don. Our CS is one of the 289's with a 302 block. When I took the engine down last year, to freshen it up, I noticed the 302 cast into the block. This block also has the serial number stamped in the top left corner. I noticed in some of the past postings that some people were having...

Hi Paul, would you elaborate a bit more about the "secret" of going from the 289 to the 302? Dave

Hello Jon, I mailed a money order yesterday for the "five pack". Hopefully there will be some available by the time it arrives. Regards, Dave.

Congrats Casey, your car arrived the same time of the year as mine and under the same conditions. It's déja-vu all over for me. One positive thing about winter,and we of the snow belt have to think positive, is that we have lots of time to tinker. Time however seems to go faster these days and...

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for our "special" and congradulate the other 12 owners. It is indeed an honour to be one of the representives of these fine cars. Jon, thank you for the opportunity to display our cars using this medium. There were no losers here, each...

I have to agree with Robert, choosing 13 cars from the 20, was much more difficult then I had imagined it would be. Each car deserves a page of the calender, unfortunately we could only pick 13. Any of us that don't make the pages, certainly don't have anything to be ashamed of. What a great...

Paul, my vote is for the original style and color with the revised production update. I think that the style suites the 1968 era. Dave
