    1968 Satan Returns

    Wow. Her car needed some serious metal work (I saw it at a Round Up), but it wasn't a basket case! Very sad for all involved (the car and the hosed new owner).

    1968 build sheet

    Not my CS, but my S-code Mach had the sheet in the springs under the driver's seat.

    1968 Vintage shot from days gone by.

    Yeah, not a '69... Doesn't look quite right for a CS, either. The Shelby thought is a good one IMO.

    1968 GT VS A Non GT California special.

    I think I remember that car...did you buy it 4 or 5 years ago-ish? Kind of ratty, but solid?

    1968 GT VS A Non GT California special.

    My X-code has 4 drums, power nothing, and is a GT.

    Yep...join the club! My CS/GT fought me tooth and nail to get back on the road.

    Thanks, guys (and gals)! Feeling every minute of the 48 years today... But that's a good thing, considering the alternative. ;)

    For Sale Small Fire Sale

    Rob, I'm interested in the: 9. Perfect rear section of 1968 gas line with protector cover and factory bolts. How much would you like for this? The hood would be excellent as well... 8. 1968 Blinker hood. Near perfect with lights and wiring. White with black out. How much for that? I...

    1+ It gets pretty negative around here sometimes.

    1968 New for the Registry

    I also think it's the same car--it has the same fog lights as the one at the track. I think the headrests on the PIR car were actually a set of '69 seats. The head rests on that car has vinyl upholstery on them, not like the molded material of the door pulls that are on the original seats in...

    1968 8R01C156235 dying in a field

    Very true. I get tired of people telling me what I "should" do with my cars. I feel like wearing a shirt that just says: NO! when I take out one of my unrestored cars.

    1968 X-code GTCS - Value?

    I wish we'd get back to the hobby and the love of the car aspect of these old Mustangs, and away from the investment mentality. Perhaps this is just my way of justifying pouring thousands and thousands of unrecoverable dollars into my selected little heard of Mustangs that I love, while it...

    1968 X-code GTCS - Value?

    I was basing the $15K on the previously offered $9K...if someone would pay $9K as it sits today, a "solid" driver is surely worth $6K more? A $9K offer wasn't a parts car price! And I certainly know there is NO way in heck that all of that work can be farmed out to a shop for $6K--as I said...

    1968 X-code GTCS - Value?

    Making it a solid car in primer w/the replacement metal you already have, if it has an interior installed to look "complete" (but not necessarily good--but door panels in place, etc), and it starts, runs, and stops so it can load for someone... I'd guess a value around $15K? That would make it...

    1968 X-code GTCS - Value?

    I always like to see what people say about the X codes as I have one, too. Recently picked up a Cougar XR7/X-code for very little $$$ locally. I know Cougars and Mustangs are comparing apples to oranges, but the X cars don't get much respect, no matter the pedigree. And I think they are neat...

    1968 X-code GTCS - Value?

    Where is the car?

    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    That tends to happen around here from time to time ;)
