Been very quiet the last few days. Waassss uuupp? :grin:

Hey guys and gals, I started stripping down the engine and transmission intended for my GT/CS and discovered that the block has a 1978 casting. The 4V intake is from a 1967 289-4V, the distributor from a 1970 302-2V, and the whole engine/C4 transmission assembly was pulled from a 1968 Mercury...

I was reading through the frequently asked questions at Kevin Marti's site. Found this about our cars: http://www.martiauto.com/faqfocus.cfm?qid=18 I have a High Country Special. How come my report says it is a California Special? Actually your report should list both California Special and...

I talked with my intended body guy, and my car is the next in line. He has been in Oregon a few years and works from his home business. Very savvy Mustang wise, he previously was restoring Mustangs down in Sacramento. As of late, he has been restoring Cougars along with Mustangs. The two he is...

I installed a set of these wheels on my GT/CS, what do you think?:grin: bonus points to who ever identifies them.

My boss just purchased a low mileage 1968 XR7 for his wife. It has this pilot owners decal in the back window. Can you shed any information on this? Looks kinda old, maybe from the 1960's?

Who in Salem? My boss was running an errand and had the camera in his pocket. Seen on 12th street in Salem, Oregon.

Well it wasn't a 1968 Mustang, but it was a 1968 Cougar. A black XR7 GT-E to be exact. Brought one of our customers cars back to the shop today. This is a real, W code 427-4V Cougar. Beautiful car, older picture, it now has the correct exhaust tips. Brian's parting words to me were "If you...

Ever have one of those, "Darn I wish I had my camera moments?" I had one of those today that involves a 1968 GT/CS. My boss and I took a field trip to a wrecking yard with lots of vintage cars and parts. A private yard here in Oregon. The owner of the yard owns a 1968 GT/CS that he wrecked 20...

I will be moving up to Oregon sometime in early March. A job offer has come through at a company called West Coast Classic Cougars. http://www.cougarpartscatalog.com/ My position will include many things. Catalog listings, research, eBay sales, purchasing and vendor compliance, and I will be...

I was reading something that Rob Campbell posted regarding the introduction date of Feb 15, 1968, and the timeline for my GT/CS. Looking through all of the Marti reports on our site, most of the GT/CS cars have an 'actual' build date and release date either the same or one day apart. My GT/CS...

Another solution instead of cutting holes in hood and the spendy ($185+) for the repop brackets and hood locks. These are in the late model Mustang catalog.

Didn't get a picture, but saw a fairly nice red GT/CS at the Fun Ford weekend at Woodburn, Oregon last Sunday. Looked a couple of times, but never did find the owner. Was that anyone from this forum?

Ever have one of those "That doesn't look right", feelings? I was just out doing one of my power walks, and I passed a teenaged girl going the other way. Not 30 seconds later this car with a single guy slows down and angles towards the curb. My mental radar was pinging like crazy. I turned...
