    1968 Next project

    Black with gold stripes would be my choice. Didn't Tim have one painted like that? Black with gold would be a nod to the Hertz Shelby Mustangs.

    Get well soon my GT/CS friend. Have known a lot of people that have had that surgery.

    1968 running and missing

    Start with the basics: Most all modern cams use the 351W firing order, not the vintage 289/302 firing order.

    Good question, California Pony Cars has been making fiberglass Mustang parts since about 1982.

    1966-67 HCS Brake light switch & no brake lights

    Pretty sure that it has to do with the brake push rod that came with your master cylinder.

    1966-67 HCS Brake light switch & no brake lights

    That is one of the 'gotchas', power brake and manual brake switches are different.

    Wanted 68 california special carb

    Tom, it would be helpful if you could determine the 1968 Ford part number of your desired carburetor. There would be three possibilities: 289-2V with automatic C8ZF-G sometimes stamped 8Z G, 289-2V with manual transmission C8AF-AK, 390-2V only with automatic C8WF-A. These are all shorthand...

    Post your Marti Report here

    I agree Arlie, my early built GT/CS, Marti Report shows an 'actual build date' of 02/06/1968, predating both of those VIN's stamped on Joeys car.

    1968 Pertronix111

    1968 Package tray speaker options....

    Cut the oval into the package tray material, I used 1/8 inch paneling. Then I put screen door screen over the top surface, then covered the whole thing with the fabric. Almost undetectable.

    1968 2100 carb

    Typically the 2100 carburetor for a 289 would have a 1.08" venturis. Marked 1.08 on the side of the carburetor body. At least for 1968.

    For Sale Seafoam T-Code in Tucson

    I wonder if this one has ever been shown at MCA? Looks really good to me, pending a physical inspection. Probably one of the cheapest stickered GT/CS's in 1968.
