    1968 New GTCS Owner

    Gary, For your search on Lucas lights, there are many out there that will state "original" for '68 Shelby & GT/CS, but many are not correct. Here are some things to look for: 1) make sure they have chrome backs (you will see many with black backs) 2) the connection of the wire to the housing...

    1968 Tail light wiring Cloth loom

    The cloth loom is woven on the wiring, it is not pulled on and there is no cutting. The wire harness MUST be strong enough to, as they say, 'beat the dust out of a rug' since the machine pulls the harness along as it weaves.

    For Sale 1968 GT/CS project in Hawaii

If I would have to guess I...
