I bought a decent 68 automatic black console pad I'd like to restore. No rips or tears but in it's earlier life someone sprayed a black laquer or maybe rustoleum over the pad.It was originally black. The old redo dye is flaking and chipping off but not completely wanting to go away. My question...

Ha!...gocha!...LOL!...Just thought I'd get some thoughts and humor about this classified ad from a Mustang monthly I uncovered from December 1982. Before I have to eat crow...there is no such thing as a 68 CS conv't...is there? How 'bout that Shelby price below it? Oh,if we had just known...

I've been into Mustangs a long time but never seen these type bumper guards.They are made in France as you can see. Anyone have a story on these oddball things? They fit perfectly at the point where you see them in the pix.Looks like they were tailor made for the 67-8 bumper,may fit...

Just in case any of you go to the Ford Super Swap this weekend in Columbus Ohio,you may see a "nut" wearing a piece of cardboard hanging off his back reading" 68 Calif Special for sale"...yep,that would be me.What the heck,might as well take a chance at seeing if someone might be interested in...

I just hung up the phone with a friend at the big auction in Scottsdale.This went down about 5PM EST today.A blue/blue "X" code 68 auto trans CS from Texas must have been a steal at $17,000.00 and the owner was looking for $35,000.00 according to my friend who talked to him. It was an A/C...

Little help here,please! I am told that there is a difference in either 68 factory console radio tuning and volume stem depth or is it the length/depth of the plastic knobs...vs. the standard factory non-console radio? I'd also like to know if there is a difference in knob depth/length between...

Hi fellow CS,HSC friends.I say friends as some of you have answered questions for me to help in my resto of my CS car.This site has been great for a guy who never owned one before.I thank all who have helped me and would sorta like to return the favor by offering it here instead of another...

I have a question on a 68 center console pad.Has anyone successfully had a 68 4 speed console pad reconditioned by a restorer? I hear of at least one shop that reconditions pads,door panels and other vinyl trim pieces.May be in the upper midwest or? I have the correct 4 speed chrome center...

For those of you who want to go the least expensive route and call Ford for a no cost,999 history report to find out your Mustang's original specs and options(call it from the buildsheet or doortag),don't think that it will also include door tag info.The wait is a killer too! I'll assume a lot...

(1)I'm about ready to put the stripes on my fresh paint job on the 68 CS.I got the stripes from Steve,the stripe man in CA.I've heard talk among car guys about using a solution that sign and detail shops use.They say it's better than soap since it is more slippery.One group said to go to Auto...

Wanted:I have a good friend in the Cleveland Ohio area looking for a better,original fiberglass decklid and at least a passenger side qtr extension for his 68 Shelby convertible which we all know is what our CS cars came with.He's willing to buy both extensions if need be.His decklid had some...

Just an FYI...I spoke to Steve(nice guy!) the "stripe man" from CA yesterday and ordered my CS stripe kit.The kit,including measurements from Paul's book,is now $100.00 plus shipping.I feel safer with a fresh cut set rather than an off the shelf brand even though they may be $20.00 less! Just my...

I just don't know how far I'm going with my CS for right now but the driver seat skin needs replaced.My original red interior is just too nice to look at the driver seat ruining the sight when opening either door.Know what I mean?The pass seat probably won't perfectly match if I only skin the...

I'd like some help on what to do with my hood pins since they have some pits that need ground down or polished? The pits are only nearest the knobs. What metal are the pins made of,who is a good,reliable metal shop to send them to,and what is the approximate cost to have them looking new again...

I'm only selling this 71 conv't to fund the resto of my newly purchased 68 CS.It's just sitting in a garage collecting dust.It's great with high options and bottom side painted,needing no undercarriage work. I'd take less than the $6800.00 I have in it if someone showed up with a trailer and...

I was on an auto web site 2 nights ago and saw a 68 CS for $800.00 listed as a "Z" code.No title.I HAD TO CALL.The nice guy said it sold fast a week ago and I asked what a "Z" code is that he called his car.He said "it's a 390 4 barrel Hipo car with the correct,original engine in it.I was just...
