    For Sale Barn Find GT/CS in KC

    Ooooh, trailer hitch and hang-on air conditioning. :cheesy: Yes, definitely a 3 speed shift lever. I agree with Ron, a little spendy for a project.

    For Sale Is this Really a Tribute?

    I watched the youtube video, the guy was very up front, that it was a tribute. Very likely the VIN would tell us. Most likely a Metuchen or Dearborn built car.

    Another Bad Idea?

    There are a few quotes with the Dos XX guy. My favorite is: "I don't always downshift, but when I do, I do it next to a Prius, so they can hear me hurting the environment."

    1968 302 4V exhaust manifolds ??

    I have 351W exhaust manifolds on my 1968 Cougar XR7 with factory 302-4V. I am running a cable clutch system with a T-5 transmission.

    1968 How do you determine the value of a 68 H.C.S.?

    I disagree with the above. Hagerty Values a GT/CS about 18% over a similar coupe. Nada Values a GT/CS about 31% over a similar coupe. Since I got into these cars, my feeling has been that a GT/CS or HCS is 20-25% over a 'like-kind-quality' 1968 Mustang Coupe, exactly equipped. i.e. 289, C-4...

    1968 Rust on driver side door, underneath the CS stripes

    Look inside the door and see if you can see a line of worm holes, or other damage in that location. Holes would be from a dent puller.
