To me, as long as the motor is the correct displacement, I don't think that "numbers matching" devalues the car by a huge amt of $. Is it a J-code car?

The value really depends upon the amount of rust and how much body work needs to be done. Interiors are easy to replace as are engine compartments to spruce up. But if you have to pay someone to do metal work for you, the $$$ rack up very quickly.

I think that's a classy looking interior. Amy, sometimes the most unusual Mustangs are the most interesting and attractive...I tire of looking a red, red, blue, red, white, etc. Show me a nice, freshly done Prairie Bronze, or a (S)Lime Gold with green interior(!!!) and I notice that these cars...

JMO, but it seems to me that, once Marti reports became available, the written registry became fairly obsolete. I do have a copy of each of the earlier texts, and foolishly pre-ordered one with money sent. But truthfully, I haven't looked at my books in several years. For the 2 CSs that I've...

Hm, green. I like it! I'll give him $5K for it, lol!

No trickier than my old truck with granny low. You always start out in second (down left)--It gets to be any easy habit.

The last deluxe report I got (5/09) was emailed to me within 36 hours, and I received the hard copy in the mail a couple of days later.

Then it is not Blu(e?)Stang's car. And speaking of Old-Timer's Dz, I can't even remember if his car is an S or and X...scarey. Seems like I recall seeing a 390 car on ebay up that way a couple of years ago--maybe this is it.

I think that belongs to a guy named Bluestang (?) here on this site.

Looks like a fun project! Must be in the air--I just bought another Stang the other day for my birthday present to me, LOL.

I hate it when tow trucks happen!

My thought as well.

How did it look?

I am very curious about this car as well...and what they are actually looking to get for it. It would be a nice match to my other '68 Mustang.

I think this is the auction/car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-Mustang-GT-CS-1968-Ford-Mustang-GT-CS-California-Special-289-V8-Auto_W0QQitemZ130301256123QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item130301256123&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A13|39%3A1|240%3A1318 And the "Buyer...

Sounds ominous! I've spoken w/Mark and looked at one of his cars for sale (he's "local" to me in Portland, OR)...it was an over-priced pile. Seemed like a nice guy, but a typical vintage car dealer.

$7K sounds like a decent price for what you're describing if you're able to do a lot of stuff yourself. But unless you do a low-level Maaco paint job, you are going to spend WAY more than that for paint and interior. IIRC, and interior kit runs around $500 alone, just for the vinyl stuff...

Aside from the wrong part, it may be that your dip stick tube isn't driven far enough down into the hole it belongs in. I have that problem in one of my '69 351Ws. It is a tight fit and the tube, etc, was painted. We drove it in and realized it wouldn't go all the way...but it is wedged in so...
