Here are a couple of GT/CS's in attendance at the Woodburn Dragstrip for the 50th anniversary of the Mustang. Visited with Deadstang, and some other friends too. Some of the other cars I thought were [URL="<div style="width:480px;text-align:right;"><embed width="480" height="360"...

Starting a new on topic thread. :grin: The above scenario is exactly why we have car specialty registries. Most of the registrars that I work with, make footnotes to all VIN's submitted. If the VIN with the rusted hulk is registered as such, it gets included. The one reported as...

Here is the video clip that West Coast Classic Cougar shot back in January 2013 during Kevin's open house and museum debut. I'm the guy on the right during the introduction. http://youtu.be/-C0mBfcJdv8 Interesting Ford memorabilia and Dealer items.

Seems like forever since I have done any work on my GT/CS. Removed the rear end and leaf springs today, came out super easy :grin: , I'll be able to reuse all of my original hardware. Leaf spring casting number. 7M on the passengers side.

Found it at the Portland PIR Swap Meet. It is rough, not much more than a naked rolling shell. Damage to the radiator core support and roof. Still sporting the Springtime Yellow paint. Seller says that he bought it on eBay a while back from California. Has no Marti, asking $1500. I didn't...

Whoo-Hoo! Too bad it isn't a VW, I would be all over it. LOL :grin:

Found a good used running engine for my J code GT/CS. Hit my build date really close, too. :cheesy: One of our local customers sold a rolling 1968 Cougar car body minus engine. He gave me first chance of refusal, knowing I was needing a 302-4V. Complete 302-4V engine with all brackets and...

I was sent this message as an FYI. Sad stuff, another business catering to the vintage car crowd has closed its doors. Pony Carbs has closed their doors. It is my understanding that they are finishing any carbs in process and will be returning those that were not yet started. Jon Miles...

Saw this at SEMA, had me fooled for a minute looking at it head on. Nicely done if you ask me.

Need some information for my body shop. 1968 GT/CS with a color change.:lipsseal: Acapulco Blue exterior, black interior. Dash and steering column gets painted charcoal, correct? What about the rest of the interior? Doors, rear panels, etc? Are they supposed to be black or body color? The...

OK, so I have taken my car to the body and paint shop. Dropped off most of the body parts and trim pieces that should be painted. Let me pick your collective brains. Headlight rings made of pot metal, those get painted body color. Correct? Going for a color change in and out, sorry folks, I...

Was up at the Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum yesterday and caught a glimpse of a blue GT/CS. Anyone here? Thought of you Neil, they had a bunch of vintage air planes and classic cars.

Received my copy of the book. The good news is my GT/CS is one of the very early hand built cars. The bad news is that it is listed incorrectly as a C code 289. With a former owners name. Listed with an "M" for Marti Report, but the door data plate information is incomplete. For those that...

One of our customers works at this shop ordering parts, we were talking and he said to check out the GT/CS being worked on in their shop.

As they say,... "the difference between men and boys, is the size of their toys". :eek: There are no words to describe it, you have to see for yourself.

Can someone please pop their trunk and measure the length of the trunk torsion springs? I am not totally positive that I received them with my project, need to identify a pair of them here. Thanks in advance!
