    January Barrett-Jackson

    I was hoping to take a friends 66 Impala with 2100 original miles but they are booked for January. I may go to Kruse International here in Denver in the summer. It will be interesting to see what the CS goes for in AZ. I hope that sale makes the highlights on the Speed channel. I would love to...

    Spark Plug Wires

    Arlie, these are "Tuner" wires. they have capacitors in them that build up voltage and then dump it all at once at the correct time. They claim up to 300% increase in spark. mainly for high performance engines. My C-code will do fine without I guess. I have no experience with them or know if...

    January Barrett-Jackson

    I noticed that in January in AZ a Cal Spe will be auctioned at no reserve. It is a 302/auto in Sea Foam Green. Lot number is 419. It is "fully restored". Looks like Shelby wheels though. Mark.

    Wanted: S-code 1967 HCS Project car

    Arlie/Don, yes it is a c-code car. A big block in my opinion changes everything. I think a 390 big block coupe would be bring what...$7-10K in the condition shown? Probably over $25 restored? Mark.

    Wanted: S-code 1967 HCS Project car

    The 67 on e-bay seems pretty solid. I would think that a fully restored 66-67 HCS would bring $15-$18K. One in that condition, knowing money spent on restoration would not be fully recoverable at time of sale, should bring $4-$5K. Serious rust would drop that price. Not sure these bring much...

    black stripes on highland green?

    That's what I thought Arlie, give the car a little more attitude by going to black. Oh well...just a thought. At Colorado Mustang there is a clone California Special that I would love to have. It is a 68 convertible in triple black with the 428. It is absolutly beautiful and it has dark...

    black stripes on highland green?

    Does anyone know if black stripes were ever available with highland green, or was white the only allowable color of striping? Thanks, Mark.

    GT/CS and HCS reunion...?

    I really like the Steamboat Springs location. Of course it is close to my home, but as you say Chuck, it is in a central location. It is also a beautiful area with plenty of cool things to see and do. Mark

    September Denver Car Show

    Arlie, not sure which show you are referring to. I was going to go to the Denver Mustang Club show but the hurricanes kept me busy at work though that weekend. We have been sending equipment south to the phone companies for restoration and rebuilding. I have to admit I don't follow the show...

    aftermarket rear suspension

    I checked with Eaton Detroit Spring. They have 3 springs for our cars that would be considered period correct. The stock 289 hard top rear springs came with an 85 lb spring rate. The 289 GT hard top Mustang rear springs had a 114 lb spring rate. The part number is ML507. The cost is $199/pair...

    Thanks guys, I will head off in that direction. I did not think of checking converts or Shelby's, thanks again! Mark.

    aftermarket rear suspension

    Hi all, any recommendations on rear leaf springs? I looked at Tony Branda and found 3 that would work. I want a little stiffer ride over stock and also was thinking of installing gas charged shocks front and rear. What about rear stabilizer bars? I want the HCS to have a little more aggressive...

    diff seal

    thanks Steve, I will check the pinion seal to make sure the leak is not originating there. Do I pull that flange to get to the back of the pinion nut? Mark.

    diff seal

    I have what appears to be a small seal leak on my diff. If I drop the driveshaft and remove the series of bolts around the rear end what am I in for? Is the gasket fairly easy to replace at this point? Should I use silicone or Permatex in place of the gasket or in addition to the gasket? Thanks...
