...Or Bottle? Trying to finish my incomplete trunk area. Did the 1968 Mustangs come with a scissor jack? Or a hydraulic bottle jack? Anyone have a picture of the correct complete set of tools that they came with? Thanks, Jeff

The Nordakota Cow~ Ole is a farmer in Minnesota. He is in need of a new milk cow and hears about a nice one for sale over in Nordakota. (that would be 'North Dakota' for you non-Scandahoovians out there). He drives to Nordakota, finds the farm and looks at the cow. Ole reaches under to see if...

Insanity!!! http://money.cnn.com/2006/05/17/Autos/shelby_over_sticker/index.htm I wonder what will happen price-wise with the 2007 CS?

Hi all, Excuse my naivity regarding motors. I've got a few question about what is considered "normal" oil consumption for a stock 289. Questions are- Did these engines burn/consume oil when they were new? Like 1 quart every X number of miles? I wasn't old enough/wasn't paying much...

Hi All, Sorry if this has been brought up before, but... Did the engine stamping on the CS's absolutely match the VIN on the car? My CS has a VIN of 156609 and the block is stamped 153... Is this likely the original engine? (in that it's 3000 or so numbers off). Thanks, Jeff

Hi all, Let me preface this post with "Yes, I can make and/or find something that will work for this." But, being the AR guy that I am, does anyone know where I might purchase the two cardboard pieces (~7.25" long x ~.625" wide x ~.25" thick) that hold down the headliner in the back lower...

Hey all, Just wondering if any of you have a similar vintage truck (99 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo Diesel). I knew when I bought this truck new that they had sub-standard brakes. But REALLY had no idea just how often I'd be changing them!!! Question is this- Have any of you found a good...

Hey all, I'm looking for some help with getting the old headlight switch out of the dash. There must be a trick. Can someone explain the procedure for removing the headlight switch? Thanks, Jeff

All, Thought I'd post here first- I have a set of 4 GT center caps for sale $100 plus shipping. See the links to pics in my gallery. These appear to be original Ford parts. They are in excellent condition. Two of the caps have an oval Ford stamping on the underside with C80-1130-C and the...

Do we know how many CS's made it out the door from the factory before CA made Ford do the recall? Were they all out the door? Or was it mid-production. -Jeff

Hey all, My 15 year old son asked me the question "Why did California make Ford change out the Marchal lights with the Lucas lights on the CS?" I know that they were recalled to do this change, but what was the reason? Anyone know the details? Only things I can imagine is that they were...

What these guys were thinking. Enjoy. http://www.modbee.com/local/story/11593707p-12325782c.html This happened last week at the Ford dealer the next town over.

Hey all, I happened upon this CS for sale in Kingman, AZ (not mine) ...looks nice. Only one picture though. Just thought I'd pass it along. Apologies if this is an old ad. I couldn't tell how long it's been up for sale. http://www.chooseyouritem.com/classics/files/118000/118447.html -Jeff

Hi all, I have an issue with the CS. The lights "surge" (get a little brighter and then dimmer...oscillating) in rythm with the idle of the car. It's done this since I've owned the car (almost two years). Is this normal? If not, what part(s) could be the culprit? Thanks, Jeff

Hey all, What dollar value (or additional percent more) would you put (be willing to pay) for an "Original Owner" CS...assuming that it's not a basket case car. -Jeff

Back in July, I had ordered the elite report. Could I have bought a matte and frame from my local arts and crafts place and made my own? Yea, I suppose. But it showed up on my porch last night and now I don't have to spend any time making up my own framed report. I got a kick out of the "Of the...

Hi all, I'm curious if anyone on this site has my Dad's old California Special. I'm not interested in buying it. Just wondering if it's still around. I talked with my Dad recently about his car. I had him dig up some old pictures of it. Unfortunately only one picture was clear enough to scan...

Hi All, I'm looking for a set of four non-GT center caps for the styled argent wheels. If anyone has a set that they'd be interested in parting with, please let me know. Thanks, Jeff

Hey all, I've been puzzled at how few CSs there are at the local and not-so-local car shows I've been to recently. Of the three "Mustangs only" car shows, there have only been two CSs. Why are there so few being shown? We went to Reno, NV for the Mustangs Plus show in May. It was a nice...

Hey all, I was thinking about installing a Pertronix "Ignitor" unit to replace the points in the distributor on my 289. Is this worth doing? Reliability? Performance gain? Comments?
