A price quote for either or both would be helpful since I have no clue how valuable these things are. The one I have is functional so it is not a "must have", just a "would like to have". If they are "million dollar" items the one with the rock chip can stay with me forever, just wanted to...

One of my Lucas lenses has a "bullet hole" from a rock, still functions but things such as that are bothersome. Where can I pick up a lens and what should I expect to pay? Have always used the black protective covers since buying the car but removed them while drying off the vehicle after a...

Is you are interested in getting one of the small round hold downs for your slotted or GT spare wheel. check this thread and let Scott know you are interested. Seems to be a very elusive part that is almost extinct and is next to impossible to find at a swap meet or NOS. Go here for more info...

This discussion is also on other forums. Check out this material and these pictures and discussion. http://www.428cobrajet.org/forum/index.php?topic=10307.0 Can anyone add to this? Seems these little plates are very scarce. Please check your trunk for the type of...

In addition to being posted here, this question was also on the Vintage Mustang forum, both in the general and in the concourse section, and also was on the 428 SCJ forum. All four of the posted areas netted one response of an unverified hold down plate and a reproduction instruction sheet...

Since this question drew absolutley no public response, is it safe to assume that the special hold down arrangement for the slotted or GT wheel is only a myth and that the parts listed in the MPC and the reproduction instruction sticker showing spare tire stowage are also a mistake and this was...

Thanks, Paul. Here in Central Illinois we are mostly OK. Some areas near rivers are flooded, much damage to their homes and property. The corn crops are either stunted, drowned and need to be replanted, or not even planted at all. In 60 some years I have never seen crops so late or not...

The spare tire hold down on the 68 GT cars are still a mystery. The MPC lists a different "J" hook for the spare with the slotted wheel and a hold down plate with a part number indicating it was used on a Mercury. I would like to be certain of what is the correct length hook and if a plate was...

I have seen these measurements in the MPC too. BUT, think about this! The GT (slotted as some call it) wheel is held down by only a little plate and a wing nut, yet they list it as being longer than the hold down for the regular steel wheel, and the regular wheel is mounted with the jack...

You guys are correct about the size of the wheel and the size of the tire having an effect on the measurement from the ground to the highest point on the fender lip. I was really interested in the difference in the height of the front and rear. If we want to be precise and compare the static...

The thought of air shocks brings this question to mind! What is the distance to the pavement from the highest point in the wheel arch of the front fender and on the rear quarter on your car. Are these distances the same when the car is sitting "just right" ? Ideally are both of these...

Casey, I just purchased a CS with air shocks already installed. I took them off last week and put on gas shocks,never did use the air feature anyway. I will gladly give you the shocks if you want to try them. You would have to furnish your own line kit and fill valve. I live just South of...

Paul, what do you mean when you say you are "still accepting registrations for the 68s"? I just purchased one have the marti report but I do not think that you have it. Is it too late?

yes, it had the cardboard trunk protectors still intack although scratched up quite a bit. One was out of place, lying in the trunk. I noticed that the little sharp screws had rubber protectors on them (4 of them and had four protectors) and three were grey and one was black. These screw...

Today I went with a buddy to look at a High Country Special. It was a one owner, less than 50,000 mile car. Other than a radio, it had NO options, and this was backed up by a Marti report. Even had poverty hub caps. It had the original trunk mat still in place, or at least i feel strongly...

Scott, thanks for the images. Now it makes sense! The bottom side of the mats is very unusual, looks like burlap. Do anyof the reproduction trunk mats come with that kind of backing? Very hard to tell what is what from catalog descriptions. It seems as the ones listed in NPD as "plaid...

Anyone have a picture of the area where this sewing takes place on the plaid trunk mat. Is the UNDERSIDE of this correct mat the same as a 65 or a 66, or does it differ in that area also. I see "spatter" or "burtex" mats for sale for a 68 - are they sewn in this same area or are only the plaid...

Sorry, but my mental picture is not forming. Any images that someone can post showing details? Do all 68 Mustangs have this feature or just a CS?

Can you elaborate or show an example of the "stitching" that you refer to?
