    1968 Looking For Dealer Info

    I'm trying to find anything I can about "Tuban Ford" in Mountain View, CA. That's the dealership that sold our CS to its original owner. The only thing I could find is they closed their doors back in the 80's. Any pictures would be great.

    1968 Belt Buckle Design Vote

    My wife wants a CS belt buckle for Christmas. Based on web searching it looks like I will have to design one myself. I've come up with three ideas based on the hints my wife has left me. I need to choose one of the designs (unless someone has a better idea). This is where you come in...

    1968 Trunk Lock

    Some how we lost the trunk lock. I got a new trunk lock kit from CJ and had the local locksmith re-key the cylinder to match the other locks. The problem is I can't figure out how to install it. The instructions don't make a lot of sense and the diagrams make even lesser sense. Can someone...

    1968 Driver's Mirror

    The glass in my driver's side mirror cracked for some reason. Is it possible to just replace the glass or do I have to replace the entire mirror? Who offers the best quality standard (not remote) mirror? Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk

    I am thinking about replacing the 14 inch wheels on our 68. I've been thinking about going with low profile 17's. Has anyone gone this route? Can you post some pics? Also what are the rim measurements if I go with 17 inch rims? Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk

    1968 Which Starter

    The starter in the CS sounds weak so rather then have a POed wife sitting somewhere when the starter finally dies I've decided to replace it (I'm a nice guy). The car has the original J code and C4 (March 20 build). I see starters with 2 different number of teeth. Can someone tell me which...

    1968 Ballast Resistor

    The ballast resistor in the 68 CS needs replacement. I looked on Summit's site and it appears I need the ohm rating of the resistor since theirs are all generic application listed by ohms. I checked CJP and they only sold one as part of a MSD coil package. The closest thing thing I could find...

    1968 Under Dash Wiring Harness

    I am thinking about replacing the main under dash wiring harness. My car is a 302 J-code with C4 trans. It is not a GT car and does not have a factory tach. It does have the 2 inch tach mounted above the steering wheel between to two large gauge housings. For 68 Mustangs I see the following...
