Doug will be needing a new caretaker. After much back and forth with myself, I am happy with having realized my dream of owning a 68 Mustang and so now it is time to seek a new owner. Doug was in good condition when I bought him in 2013 and since then I have had much work done to bring him up...

I have been dreading posting this for a while now but feel as though the time might be right. After seeing my car through much work and many enjoyable miles, it is time to begin the process of finding a new appreciator for "Doug" 8R01C142562 If anyone knows of a person looking for a great...

Took Doug out of his garage for a 170 mile run yesterday! My daughter and I drove from Calgary to Banff in order to soak in the mineral Hot Springs and then enjoy a pint and some Irish Pub fare before heading home. Doug drove like a champ and even got up to 100 mph for a few seconds on a nice...

Took me for a ride today!! Roads were dry and weather was ok...28 F First I warmed up the car and drove it 5 miles before pulling over and letting my 16 yr old son Eric take the wheel for the first time in Doug. He drove about 10 minutes-- straight down same road with no turns and very little...

Our family always waits until after my birthday (Nov. 30th) before buying, setting up and decorating the Christmas tree. Well, it's dec 4th and here is a pic of a small section of my tree. A very nice little addition I think! Stephen

Doug turned 50 on Feb 20th and I finally rolled my odometer over 50 today. Sadly it was 0 Celsius (32F) and traces of snow and ice outside so I decided to leave Doug be. Seems fitting I thought since I didn't take him out for his 50th he shouldn't take me out.... Stephen

Doug got an oil change today prior to winter setting in. We've had the worst September in my 25 yrs here and have only had the chance to pull Doug out this past week...since about Sept 10th or so. I got robbed of a month's driving pleasure!

At auction as sept 8th, https://www.theelectricgarage.com/auctions/vehicle_details.php?auction_id=65&id=6247 It's just unfortunate that the preview date for this car is the day AFTER. The car is sold!! :wink:

Doug is experiencing some electrical issues. He's in the shop but I thought i might throw it out here in caase there were some ideas I could suggest to mechanic Here are your clues: Once the car is started: 1) The radio has no power 2) The turn indicators don't work although the emergency...

After over 2700 miles, Doug deserved a hand wash. Well he got it this morning. While attending to all nooks and crannies I came across two screws mounted into rear bumper directly above the licence plate mounting area. Is it normal for them to be there and if so, what purpose do they serve...

Without going into lengthy details, my car has a long history of power steering leakage and I've literally replaced all parts numerous times. Most recently my second new set of high pressure and return hoses have failed and so I'm looking for: An old set of original lines so that the couplings...

Does anyone need/want one of the Limited release get/cs tree ornaments? They are well done, the wheels roll and the colour---well let's just say--perfect!! :grin: My local store had 9. I snagged 4 (2 for me) but the other 2 are up for grabs. $20 .U.S plus shipping. Post here if you want...

2709 miles, oh the GAS!!!! The upside to the thirsty car is that you physically can't drive more than 3 hours at a stretch!! Always an upside! Stephen P.s. In northern Montana this morning I may have "accidentally" gotten Doug up to 100mph on a downhill stretch so as not to stress him.

Did the iconic Bullitt car use the gt/cs grille? Sure looks that way in picture... https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/uCIRaf2ueEVVEocEMl3suQW_MnM=/1400x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/10039211/detroit_auto_show_2018_ford_bullitt_mustang_7053.jpg

I did not know until today that out beloved gt/cs' are rarer than the '68 Shelbys?!!! 4451 Shelbys were made and of course only 4118 hcs & gt/cs. Going to bed smarter tonight. Stephen p.s let me fall asleep before you make any racket slapping your collective foreheads and saying " I already...

Doug turns 50 today! As you can see, his heart is looking healthy and he's probably ready for 50 more yrs. Hats off to a master technician with an eye for detail....Now if July would just hurry up and get here! Oh for goodness Sakes, Arlie, rotate the pic for crying out loud!! Stephen

ok, so for me turning 50 is later this year BUT... Doug turns 50 in 4 weeks...on Feb 20th. I'm hoping Neil will put a cupcake and candle on hood...perhaps even fire up engine if its possible. 142562 turns 50 soon, what about your Special??? Any plans for yours personally when the day...

I might be having buyer's remorse BEFORE buying. I have opportunity to buy a set of Shelby 10 spokes (1980 repops). I've always admired how good they look on everyone else's CS'. I only imagined them on my car until I pulled up an internet photo of them on a gulfstream cs. Now I'm not so...
