Hi, It's been some time since I last checked in here. And between then and now my oldest kid has turned 14 and decided to rip our C-code engine apart and install a new performer intake and an Edelbrock 500 Cfm carburetor (1404). Its all good learnings and he is on his way becoming a decent...

I ordered reproduction Arm Rest Pads from CJ, but they did not match my expectation. Internet shopping can be very tricky, trying to judge from photos and very little info. Does anyone have a recommendation for good reproductions or if someone is willing to sell good condition originals. I have...

I am going to remove the doors in order to paint the inside. Have never done this before and need a few pointers. 1: I assume best way is to unbolt the doors where the hinges bolts to the body of the car? Or can I get the pin out of the hinges? What is the easiest way? 2: the inside of the...

Hi, Winter and its time for next step of restoration. Last winter I rebuilt the grille which was standard 68 and made a nice replica of the original and also changed grille mouldings, painted the grille and mouldings and pedestals, fitted the correct Lucas lights and fixed electrical wiring so...

I am about to start the interior restoration of my car and started to question if the pad/flat area behind the back seat really is the original material. To me it looks just like a painted piece of board. I attach a close up, is this what I should look like?

A couple of times now my car has just been dead when I turn the key. By tapping the solenoid it engages and starts, so my guess is the solenoid is not what it should be. I am not sure but I think the solenoid is fairly new, that the P.O put it in 4 years ago. A few questions for you mechanics...

The car under the link is for sale in Sweden a 2 hour drive from where I live. I talked to the salesman a few times but he refused to give me the VIN. No explanation. I went and had a look at the car and it is a clone, vin starts with 8F01. Tank lid, tail light bezels and steering wheel is...

The big pad for the steering wheel on my car is damaged and I want to find a new. I find steering wheels, center pads, buttons and horn rings but can not find the big pad for 1968 standard 2 spoke steering wheels. Any pointers? Thanks.

I didnt find this special in the registry. Talked to the owner who said its been at least 20 years in Sweden. Marti attached. http://www.blocket.se/varmland/Ford_mustang_california_special_1968_60073508.htm?ca=23_3&w=3

I'm ordering a new heater plenum as mine is all torn. When crawling under the dash trying to wiggle it loose I just wondered if that fusebox (see picture) had a lid back in 68? Does yours have lids?

Since I just learned (from the great bunch of people of this community) there are a few things that needs to be corrected when it comes my Lucas lights, the grille and grille sorround, I am planning to make a restoration of the entire front of my car. Starting to plan for it I thought about...

The Piedestals/tubular stands the lucas lights are mounted on are not painted on my car. Going to leave them at a painter, but I have no clue what to tell him. I know it should be the same as the grille but could anyone tell me the specific paint code/number/type or whatever I need to tell him...

Hi, one of the foglights on my 68 CS is missing the electrical wire connector. Have no idea what they might be called and where I can find them. Have browsed through a few parts websites but thought I'd better ask you bunch before spending more time on a wild goose chase. See the pictures for...

This question has probably been posted many times, I've read som but are not clear, so forgive a newbie: how can I tell for sure if I have a 289 block or a 302 block in my car. The engine is matching number c-code. Car produced last week of GT/CS production. And then for the follow up: if 302...

I have what I believe is an Autolite carburetor on my c-code. It is hard to start the engine from cold and I usually need to try 5-7 times before it fires up. And then it usually dies a few times before it gets warm. I have also been told that the mixing is too lean and the engine needs more...

This one is for sale in Sweden. No Marti, but the seller says VIN is 8R01C171827. Gulfstream Aqua. Engine 302 bored to 306. http://www.blocket.se/boden/Ford_Mustang_Califonia_Special__68_48519246.htm?ca=1_3&w=0

The engine and enginebay is now renovated on my C-Code. all original. As a final touch I would like to add original type stickers such as the 289 decal etc. anyone has a reference for what stickers should be added and where's hey should be added? Also where could I buy them?

I got a GT/CS C-code with original engine and dual exhaust with twin tips and separate mufflers. I was wondering if anyone knows how I could know if the dual exhaust came with the car or is a later mod? The Marti doesnt say anything and neither does the original order documentation. (At least...

Could somebody enlighten me in order for me to feel safer for my first '68 GT/CS buy? The seller sent me the Marti Report and it looks OK considering body color, interior etc but it has some minor deviations. So when looking at the car I will make sure the VIN matches the data plate. Are there...

I am going to drive over and have a look at this '68 GT/CS in Denmark and possibly buy. (Link below) The seller tells me the VIN is 8R01C130773. According to the Registry this car should be in the U.S. According to the info on VIN 8R01C130773 (Body, colour, trim...)in the Registry it at least...
