    Another Bad Idea?

    1968 1968 GT/CS: Need opinions

    I think that you will find that with the exception of power steering, yours is very typical for a GT/CS with a "Stock" designation on the Marti Report. Mine has the 302-4V, auto, and power steering, but no vinyl top. When finished mine will have a color change, disc brakes, GT rear valance...

    1968 1968 steering wheel pad repro?

    Someone checked off all of the nice options on this one. "GT" would be the only one left off. Very cool looking car, wish mine had all of those options.

    1968 Lower Console Parts Diagram?

    1968 Mustang Console Diagram This is a snap of from the Ford Master Parts Catalog. Almost nothing is the same from the non-console shifter assembly. You will need a new shifter bucket, chrome lever, radio plate, shift indicator bezel, etc. Lots of parts. Grade A used undamaged radio plates...

    For Sale Acapulco GT/CS Carthage, TN (Facebook)

    I like most of what the owner did to this car. Shelby rear panel color treatment is fine. GT exhaust tips are a nice feature. Air cleaner and valve covers are not 1968 Ford Mustang. 1966? Canada? I do not see a brake booster, some kind of manual disc brake conversion? Accessory gauge panel...

    1968 Headliner install tips?

    Find a DIY video on the youtube. A key thing is to maintain your centerline to keep things even. It is hard to believe that 4 minutes was the allotted time for installation at the factory.

    1968 Trouble shooting brakes & booster

    The piston in your distribution block might not be centered. Brake warning light on, or disconnected? Power Brake Booster Exchange, is now owned by Booster Steve. Booster Dewey retired and sold to Booster Steve, a long time employee.

    . The 25 Greatest Mustangs, per Hagerty

    The article created a discussion, just like it was supposed to. We should be satisfied that the 1967 Eleanor car and Charlies Angels Mustang was not included.
