    1968 Power steering question?

    At some point in its past our '68 CS had its power steering removed and we're in the process of replacing it right now. I bought a complete set of newly rebuilt power steering components, including a rebuilt ps box last year, but there wasn't a pitman arm included in the set. Does anyone...

    1968 Clock Option Question

    Me for one ... I never seem to know what time it is! :grin:

    1968 Clock Option Question

    Clock option ... I suppose that many clocks might have been a dealer installed option too, and might not show on the window sticker or a Marti report? Our car didn't have a clock in the dash when we bought it, but I've since bought one which is being rebuilt right now with a quartz conversion...

    ??? What the heck is going on here? There are only photos of the cars. Why aren't there any pictures of Arlie? Was he afraid that he might crack the camera lens ...? :grin:

    1968 GT/CS in "Good Guys" on FOX tonight

    A conspiracy ...? Yeah, it looked like it was a "Ford and/or Mercury bashing" to me since they only shot at or smashed up the Cougar and the Mustang and never fired a round at all those GMs or Dodges! They only put a "token" dent in the hood of the Firebird so that we Ford owners wouldn't...

    1968 Console Woes

    4 speed cars are easy to drive ... Neil, it's easy to keep track of which gear you're in when driving a 4 speed GT/CS ... 1. Fast 2. Faster 3. Faster still! 4. OMG! R. Still not sure what this gear is for ...? :grin:

    Fuel Gauge / Sender

    Groan ... Last year we installed a brand new fuel tank and sending unit (16 gallon stock) in our "S" code, but unfortunately I wasn't aware of the larger 22 gallon tank being a basic "bolt in" using the '70 sending unit. Groan ... :sad: If I'd know this I'm sure that we'd have gone this route...

    1968 Console Woes

    ... but ... ... but instead you'd be "lighting" up the back tires! :grin:

    1968 Console Woes

    The obvious solution ... Neil, I spotted your problem right away. You obviously need a 4 speed car and then you wouldn't have this problem with the shifter lights on your lower console! :grin:

    1968 One of the dumb things a PO did to my CS

    Black "goop" ... We had the same problem with our car and opted to take it all out and start fresh with new seals, both front and back. We saved all the original mouldings and re-used them, just be as gentle as possible when you remove them. It took quite a while and a lot of patience to...

    1968 Had a kid stop by and beg me to sell him my CS

    "Not for sale!" When my 65 Mustang Fastback was still on the road (1980 to 1983), I used to get people that would follow me down the road until I would pull off into a gas station or grocery store, etc. and they'd pull up behind me, run up to the car, and ask me: "Do you want to sell that...

    Wanted 4-Speed GT/CS

    Hey Arlie! Are you in GT/CS withdrawl yet from having sold one of your "babies", or did you already buy another one to replace the PB one? (Maybe you could join the "FE" club the next time around?) :wink:

    Gotta be the worst!...

    ??? Hmmm ... that's funny .... there are no bids on it yet? I guess everyone must be "lurking" in the weeds with an eSnipe bid on it? :grin:

    More photos ... I went and found the photos you mentioned, but they took a little bit of effort to find, so I copied them and will post them here to save other people the time. I've contacted Terry (the owner) via email a few times now, and it sounds like he might attend the Kamloops "Hot...

    This is currently listed on Craigs List up here in B.C. I emailed him and asked for more details and he responded with some more info. His name is Terry Johnson and he wrote: I’m not really a Ford man as I bought this mustang for the wife and she’s not too crazy about the 4 speed. I bought...

    Funny ... but I've never found our big block Candy Apple Red GT/CS boring? I'm far too busy looking in the rear view mirror watching out for red and blue flashing lights! :grin:

    1968 Original 68 Trunk Extension - price valid?

    It's only one original Shelby scoop (I think from a 67) that is in my spare parts pile, and it's in pretty rough shape, but maybe I SHOULD put it on eBay with a $10.00 starting bid just to see how crazy the "lurkers" would get? :wink:
