Sent our stock radio to Gary Tayman in Florida for new "guts". It works flawlessly and is also FM along with a jack for MP3 or CD player. So now the need for a package tray speaker (or speakers) has arisen. Has anyone documented two package tray speakers as a ford accessory on our 68...

Just looked through the newest Mustang Monthly and in "beyond basics" was a very well written note from our own Rob Campbell pertaining to the brakes on 68 GT cars. Very interesting reading! Thanks Rob for setting the record straight.

Going to have my (non working) AM radio converted to AM/FM/Bluetooth this winter and add a dual voice coil speaker in the dash, replacing the original Ford speaker. Any tips on replacing the speaker? Does the dash pad have to come back out or with the radio and glove box removed will there be...

Looking for your ideas on what you feel should be on an informational display sign for car shows. We will be attending the Woodward Dream Cruise in a few weeks and will be parked in Mustang Alley, along with over one thousand other Mustangs of all years and styles. California Specials are...

Today is the 46th birthday of our California Special! Makes me think back to that time and all of the changes that have taken place. I was living in California at that time, in a town called Oxnard. 24 years old, waiting to be sent to Viet Nam with my Seabee battalion, a one way trip for many...

the paint inspection stamps were very clear and visible when our CS was purchased. Now that the final steps of the restoration are here I find that the replicated stamps that I had made are terrible and nothing like the originals either in size or font. Does anyone have a replica of either one...

If you have a 68 Cs this may be of interest to you! The rubber strips that stick to the underside of the trunk lid on a CS have been elusive to me so asking, in fact begging, for your help or advice. Talked to Scott Fuller a couple of times about this and he measured and described the...

The time has come to begin thinking about installing the CS stripes on the trunk and quarter extensions. I can see that the trunk is curved and the stripe kit is straight so the task will be more difficult. Putting a curve in a straight piece of vinyl means only one thing to me - PUCKERS! So...

Has anyone found a source for the plastic connector that plugs on the brake light switch? Mine has given up the ghost and so far have not been able to locate a replacement. Would like to find one that has a few inches of wire so it could be spliced into my harness. Years of slight movement...

Seeking information or better yet an image of the "jam" nut on the stud of the rubber bumper that the front of the hood rests upon. On our C.S cars the front fender bolt was replaced with a hood stop which was locked in place with this nut. The standard "half" nut that was used on these...

Looking for advice on adhesive to use on the little stainless steel plate that is attached to the hood at the base of the twist locks. It seems to have had some type of sticky double sided foam tape when removed for a repaint. Any experience or advice appreciated. Whatever was used originally...

Looking for help determining the finish on the nuts that hold the hood turn signal assemblies to the hood. The little nuts have a rubber insert in them for sealing and carry Ford hardware number 353911-S100. What is the finish on these nuts - zinc? zinc di-chromate? a color indicating...

Noticed on so many images of consoles that many (most?) have a gap between the indicator plate and the console itself. The gear selector indicator sits on little "feet" and doesn't seem to have a direct connection with the console itself, so what is the fix for this malady. Ours fits poorly...

While undergoing a repaint it became obvious that our CS, Scheduled build date of 4 - 03 had NO holes for a plastic rocker panel retaining clip on either front fender. The hole for the stud used in the front position on the moldings was there, just no place for the plastic clip that is shown in...

As noted in the newest California Special recognition Guide by Paul Newitt the foam strips on the underedge of the trunk spoiler measure 7/8 inch wide, 1/4 inch thick and 4 1/2 inches long. My originals were long gone so I will have to take his word for the measurements. My question is where...

Need a float for a 4300 carb, see post in forums for details. Appreciate any leads or advice!

Looking for a float for a 4300 carb, C8ZB - D. This part is used in all 4300 carbs up until about 71 and in some applications later. They seem to all be gone from the normal parts sources, but here are some Part Numbers if you have stashed stuff over the years or have a friend with old parts...

Anyone catch how the sale of the CS went and the selling price?

Does anyone have a link to a live broadcast of the upcoming BJ auction in AZ? A couple of years ago it was broadcast live with no advertisements, can't remember the source.

Does the tail light fiberglass tail light panel have sealer applied between the original sheet metal and the added C/S panel. Did Ford apply some dum dum type body sealer when this panel was screwed to the main portion of the body during assembly. This sealer would be very obvious when opening...
