    1968 Chicago area 68 GT/CS owners?

    Yep, that's me. Needs some TLC. Lot of the parts are not original on the car. It looks like when the car was in an accident they tried to recreate the GT/CS look with whatever parts they could find. The whole grille area is a mess. Aris lights, 68 grill, two different color trim pieces...

    Marchal 656 Lights

    I tracked down a set of Marchal 656 lights in the Netherlands for about $300. Is that a good price for original? Any pitfalls I should be aware of when purchasing something like this? I'm assuming I may have to modify the wiring. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I did read Mike's post about the brackets and bookmarked the site where to get them. Also see that I can modify the 67 grill to work. I need to pick that book up for sure. I see there is a new hard cover version. Do you know if that is the combination of the two previous books?

    Sorry if this is an easy one folks. I'm just getting into the old Mustangs. All my experience is 1981 to current. On my 68 GT/CS I'm trying to determine if the engine is original to the car. Where would I find markings to verify? Thanks.

    For Sale 1968 gt/cs

    This same car was listed for sale on ebay about two weeks ago. It's a GT/CS clone, not real. Looked into buying this car and found out it wasn't the real deal after some research. Everytime it pops up for sale the price gets higher!
