    GT/CS at Woodstock??

    Thought this was pretty cool. I was looking at old photos from Woodstock and saw this photo. Looks like a GT/CS or HCS in the upper right corner. http://historythings.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Woodstock7.jpg Bret

    1968 Authenticity..??

    Here's my opinion. My car was originally a 6 cyl car. In 1972 the original engine, trans, rear end were swapped out for a '69 351w, FMX and '67 3.00 open rear and front suspension also. Since the engine is long gone, I've been restoring it my way; Still has the 351W. It now has a C4 w/ shift...

    Did he by any chance give up the Colorado/California Special VIN number so anyone buying it will know the VIN doesn't match the car? Definitely one to look out for in the future. Nice work Arlie. Bret

    1968 Car Show Judging

    I'm like you Rob, I like the unusual cars. the cars that have been restored by refinishing, resurfacing, repairing/rebuilding parts because you can't find them anywhere except a swap meet or possibly a wrecking yard. I like them because I wish I had their talent, but I don't, so I drool over...

    1968 Steering Box advice

    I replaced mine with the headers installed. hardest part was getting wrenches on the rag joint bolts working around the brake booster and brake lines. Unfortunately the "rebuilt" box I got off Ebay was just as bad as the old one. So, I bought a Borgeson unit, but haven't put it in yet. Bret
