    1968 Hood Bumpers?

    I noticed that there are no front hood bumpers on my Car. In looking at pictures on the Net, it appears that there were adjustable bumpers on regular hoods. They were installed on the front brackets that our hood lock retains slip onto. There is a hole on each front corner of the hood. Do...

    1968 Trunk Tailight Filler Cardboard

    I am almost done with my Trunk and interior refresh. It is looking good. One more task left that I have been putting off is installing the trunk mat and the cardboard filler panels. Two questions. 1) The creases at the bottom of the panels. Based on the old ones, it appears that they...

    1968 Center A/C Outlet

    I want to have my center A/C outlet re-chromed as it has a little pitting. Does anyone know what the trick is to get the louvers out of the housing without risk of harming them? Do they exit from the rear or from the front of the housing? Thanks. Dave

    1968 1968 Console Insert

    Another question as I continue to freshen up my interior.... My console insert has some pitting on the chrome edges that I want to get fixed. So, I guess I will have to send it away to someone who can do it. Any recommendations? Currently, the pockets for the seat belts are painted black...

    1968 Flashers

    With our multi-bulb tail lights, What flasher number should be used for the turn signals and four-way flashers. I assume they are different due to the differing loads. Thanks. Dave

    1968 Tail/Brake Light Ground

    I have a grounding problem with my tail/brake lights. The left side is dim. So, I found a good ground inside the trunk (bumper bolt) and when I attach a wire to it and run it to the outside of any one tailight socket, all three go to normal brightness. Can't find any other place to ground...

    1968 Trunk Correctness

    It is so cold in the garage.... But anyway, I am starting to go through my GTCS to see what is right and wrong and started with the trunk. Couple of questions 1) Trunk mat. The one I have is somewhat aged plaid. I guess it is the "Burtex" style as it has a softer, almost cloth texture with a...

    My GTCS has the deluxe interior with a console (auto transmission). The center inserts for the console are brushed aluminum. Is this correct as all the dash "stuff" has the wood grain applique? Interestingly, my former GTCS had a black camera case insert while also having the deluxe interior...

    1968 Shelby 10 Spoke Wheels

    I am considering getting a set of Shelby 10 spokes for my GTCS that I just got. The GTCS I had back in the early 2000's came with them and I liked them. However, that car was switched over to the Styled Steele Wheels after I sold it. My new GTCS is Sunlit Gold so the gold on the Shelby spokes...

    1968 New Memebr

    Hello! New member here. Sort of. I must have been a member back in 2002-2005 as the GTCS I owned is on the registry here. I really regret selling that car (8R01C150125) and am now interested in getting another 1968 GTCS. I am trying to figure out what these cars are worth now. I found the...
