    1985.5 or 1986 SVO

    Anyone know of someone trying to sell an unmolested SVO for no more than $3000.00. I bought an 84 a while back and want to try the higher horsepower, quicker turbo of an 85 1/2 or 86. I check ebay daily, but the ones I've really looked hard at are overpriced for what you get. I live in...

    A/C Woes!

    Hi guys, My 68, 289 with a fresh engine rebuild 5K ago, is having an odd problem. OCCASIONALLY, just occasionally, when I run the air on the interstate ( 70 mph ) the engine will cut out, sputter, and die if I don't cut the air off. Sometimes it will die and is hard to start. The air...

    Arizona GT/CS for sale, also on ebay

    Hi guys, My son found this car in Arizona. I spoke with the owner and I am a little confused as to the engine, I thought it was a "J" code, but the ebay auction is "C" code. Has a little damage to the driver side fender (not bad, easy fix) and looks good. I was looking for deluxe interior...

    California Special or 68 HCS

    Well boys, 2004 is the year I take the leap! I am going to purchase either a Cal Special or a 68 High Country Special as a New Year's Resolution! Just hearing the words California Special makes my ears perk up, but looking at the 68 HCS's and knowing only 251 were ever made, well I just...

    Original engine vs Crate or other

    I guess I just couldn't drop the subject, or maybe it's just something that has me going, but I really feel and have experienced the depreciation from not having the original engine. 50% may be a Tad high, but I don't think it's that far off. I will agree that it does come down to personal...

    Engine Block Stampings

    Brandon, (gang too!) Here are the pics I promised. The 1st is a frontal shot of my 68, 289, coupe. You can faintly see the intake manifold casting number in front of the carb, behind the distributor. Next is a side view from the drivers side of the carb. You can see the intake casting in...

    HCS and Cal Special

    Hi gang, Recently a beautifu 68 HCS and a nice California Special were advertised on Ebay. I would like to know if anyone bid on them and if not, why not? (besides no $$$!) Someone "Bought it now" for 15K (the HCS) but the Cal Special did not meet the minimum. I'm just curious, as I was...

    Best place for GT/CS restoration parts?

    Hi gang, My friend has a California Special (I will post pics soon) and it needs EVERYTHING! Can anyone recommend a specific place for quality parts or do you just order from a variety of places? We would like to keep shipping costs down and order from one or two places. I mean...

    Are all GT/CS's true GT's?

    Hi all, I hate to ask such a question for my "1st ever question", but we all gotta start somewhere. So are all GT/CS's true GT's? I always assumed they were, until KAR mustang had one for sale which said "true GT" What is the scoop? Can someone educate me? Thanks for answering.......
