    Mustang IIs

    Yeah they were pretty poor quality with regards to the plastics etc. The Monroe Handler cars were pretty cool and likely the top dog.

    For Sale Highly Optioned J Code in need of restoration

    Matching numbers is not that important on a small block GT/CS. It certainly has a bearing on K code Hipo, R/Q code CJ, G code Boss and somewhat on S code cars. Even on those specialty forums most will forgive the engine if a date correct replacement is in place over a heavily metal replaced...

    For Sale Highly Optioned J Code in need of restoration

    Anyone that has been in the hobby for a long time with multiple cars under their belt will agree that rust repair is the most costly repair and should be avoided if possible. Another area where money can be wasted is paying for cosmetics that are not up to your standard or idea for the finished...

    For Sale 1968 Mustang GT Coupe Project

    The 3.25 ratio makes it a 9 inch. The tough one is the 3.00 which was available in 8 and 9. Ford used the same code. I have had 2 Code E 3.00 ratio 68 GT J cars and both were 4 speed. One cool thing for 68 was the only way to get a 9 inch was the GT option. In 67 the minimum engine was the K...

    1968 Serial numbers?

    The vin sequence is not a direct correlation to when the cars were actually produced. The last car off the line may have an earlier vin than one still on the line. The vin numbers were assigned early for engine stampings etc. before they went on the line. Some cars were held back for weeks at...

    1968 Tire size?

    I like the 215/70/14 BFG on our 6.00" rim because it gives the sidewall a taller straighter look like the F70-14. I hate rounded bulged sidewalls and anything under 26"

    The Z28 "zapper" 302 as it was fondly referred came along in 67 The 302 Tunnelport was a 68 Ford exotic for Trans Am The of course the Boss 302 in 69/70.

    For Sale 1968 Gold Nugget Special on E bay

    Nice trunk for a Metuchen car with original cloth style mat. It is wasted from the towers forward for sure. The drivers side door-fender may have moved as well would need to see that area of the frame. RARE car for sure

    For Sale GT/CS Project on eBay - May be a BB

    Maybe it has been clipped but those are correct 68 only wrap around tower braces. Perhaps an anomaly. Certainly happened more often in 69/70 and sometimes you only got one side lol Thanks for the words of encouragement Mike ! It would certainly be the top dog in the 8nhalf coupe sector
