There is a Presidential Blue GT/CS on the calendar for October. It appears much darker, Mark.

Congratulations on the win!!

Congratulations on the gold!! ;D I am curious, did the judges and those in attendance know about the HCS? Mark.

Casey, I agree with Steve the chance of the chain slipping back to its original position is not likely. The cam and the crank would be out of alignment and there is little chance of these again being in their proper alignment without taking the chain off and actually moving them into position...

Roxanne,some of the things people will be intersted in are the engine and transmission type, any factory options such as air conditioning, radio, etc, and condition before the restoration, particularly if the car had any rust and how was it addressed. The High Country badging is rare and should...

Casey, as far as the rough idle. With the further info it sounds as if the timing is not advancing. What condition is your chain in? Also check your advance mechanism, either vacuum or mechanical. I wonder if the chain slipped a gear or two and has taken the timing beyond the limit of the...

Case12, vibration at the engine could be a number of things both internal and external. Here are my thoughts: 1)Eliminate the plugs and wires. If the plug is tan it is a good indication that it is firing properly. 2.Timing chain and or valve timing could be the cause. Check to see that the...

The May issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines lists auction results in the back. On page 117 a 1968 GT/CS, 289 automatic sold for $14,900. It does not list condition or options other than the C code auto. This was on 2/25-2/26 at Leake Car Auctions in OK. The same auction brought $9100 for a 1966...

Re:Brought home a trophy with the CS in a show today Congtratulations on the trophy! That is a good sized show with 300 cars. I like peoples choice because it gives a better sense of what is liked at the show.

All, I don't know how to do those fancy links but if you go to www.gotmustang.com and click on the new GT500 overview and scroll down part way through the article you will see the following quote by a Ford insider. " SVT will now develope non-SVT branded Ford performance vehicles including...

"However, in this day of "big money running over values", you will see cloned super-muscle cars going for big bucks. I think it was a Yanko Chevelle (??) clone that got six figures, because the buyer just wanted one, and had the cash. I wonder what would happen if there were cloned Superbirds...

Paul and High Country Bob, if you need my help with any "leg work", tracking down archieved info at area dealers let me know. I deal with several Ford fleet dealers in the Denver area (Courtesy, Burt and Phil Long)and would be willing to help anyway I can regarding 66 & 67 specials. Mark.

Paul, I like the idea of the 66 and 67 HCS cars being included. How were these cars identified via VIN? The Marti report would not list the HCS in these years as an option, since I believe this was a dealer package rather than a factory install. Would the Sunshine and Twister and Ski...

jc68gtcs, yes I have in the past, pretty die hard actually. These days I keep it to x country skiing and snow shoes. It's Cheaper when the equipment breaks. Used to run an Artic Cat Wildcat 650, punched to 700. Good for 90 mph at 10,000 feet. We usually get 20-30 feet of snow in a season and...

jc68gtcs, that would be the "off topic" board rather than general discussion.

jc68gtcs, the 73 Vette will be listed for $16,000. I will accept $14,000 from anyone on this site. It is an origianl 30,000 mile car with these changes. L88 hood, Hooker side pipes, Holley double pumper, electric cooling fans in addition to the stock pulley fan. 5-speed as mentioned before. Blue...

Bish, yes the snow is still here. 6" yesterday and more possibly today. I want to get the HCS out and ready for some shows but I have to wait for the snow to melt and the gravel to be washed off the roads. jc68gtcs, see my reply on the general discussion board. I don't want to get in trouble...

jc68gtcs, I have two. A 1973 big block coupe with the LS4 and a Doug Nash 5 speed. The other is a 1965 Sting Ray convertible numbers matching, but I pulled the original 327 out and rebuilt it and put it away for safe keeping. I replaced it with a 355 HP ZZ4. I am actually thinking of selling the...

I also agree with Paul. I have been waiting since the new Mustang came out for the Shelby version. While I really like the new Mustang, I was hoping for more drama in the design of the Shelby. I guess I will wait to see it in person , but may now wait for the GTCS or maybe an HCS???

Welcome, nice original! I too have an old Vette having spent most of my years in the Chevy family. Whenever someones walks into my gararge they always start with "cool Vette" then turn and say"WHAT IS THAT?" From then on it's all about the Mustang. I am always surprised how many people do not...
