    1968 Possibly time to sell Walter

    1968 Possibly time to sell Walter

    Well Sara and I are planning for retirement and just purchased a home in Mexico. Will likely be moving down there within 6-9 months. As a result we have a few cars to consider selling to lighten the load. Mant of you are aware of the California Special that we bought from the original owner...

    1968 Help with transmission

    Good point. I don't recall that it is at a fast idle when it does this. I think it's generally at normal idling rpm when you put it into gear. Will pay more attention to when it happens. It's definitely a quite loud and solid clunk.

    1968 Help with transmission

    Sara continues to love Walter, her '68 GTCS. However, we have noticed over the past few years that the auto trans seems to be developing a very distinct and powerful "clunk" when put him into gear at times. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it sounds and feels like that trans is...

    Hah! Wasn't even aware that the article came out. : ) Would love to get a copy but not a subscriber. Does anyone know if this is in newsstands also? Overall, a fun story and nice recognition for Walter. Steve

    Wanted original Ivy gold kick plates

    Sara's GT/CS has the original kick plates on which Walter, the original owner, had installed some nice montgomery wards speakers. Would love to find a set of original lime gold kick plates that I can replace the current ones with. Any chance someone has these laying around? Also would...

    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    Well Roger, the guy who is doing the article, came over and took some pics and a video (I guess for the online version of the magazine?). Not sure when it may show up in the publication but will let you all know when we hear more. Steve

    1968 Well, I just bought the "7 million in gold and 1 GT/CS" car

    It's been quite a while! Thought, I'd update on a few things with "Walter". As some of you know from the story above, we have had Walter for about five years now. My wife Sara loves the car and claims she'll never sell. The car runs beautifully and we have had zero issues since we bought it...

    1968 MCA preservation showing?

    MCA National - too late? Hello all....Its been a long time since sara and I have visited the site. You might recall that we bought the very odd "gold hoard car" that we found after reading an article about the death of its original owner in 2012. We still have the car and are keeping it...

    For Sale NOS front bumper

    Its not used. Been wrapped in brown paper for years. Also has a ford sticker on it as I recall. Will take pics when I get home. I thought you might be distinguishing OEM as a new part but produced later by Ford to its suppliers. No doubt that this is a new part. Will send pics when I can...
