    1968 1968 Tunnel Port 302

    I know it has little to do with the 1968 GT/CS or HCS (though Ford did intend to offer a street version of the engine but never did), but I read a great article about the 1968 Tunnel Port 302 engine. Posting the link here for those who haven't seen it. Fascinating read! Terry...

    1968 Battery

    I would like to make the underhood of my '68 look a bit more original. I am interested in knowing if anyone has purchased a black Group 24 battery and added the "Autolite" top cover to it, to make the car look a bit more original. The car is a driver, so I am interested in a maintenance-free...

    1968 Reproduction door shells

    Does anyone have experience with the 67/68 reproduction complete door shells? I am in need of a new driver side door, and the pickings are slim on original Ford doors. How is the fit? I read that the Dynacorn door shell is "improved quality" and made with heavier gauge metal than previous...

    1968 Exhaust Manifold Paint

    Hi, I am curious to know what people are using for exhaust manifold paint for the 1968 small block. I am in the process of building a J-code 302 and detailing it to stock appearance. The car will be an occasional driver, so I am looking for something that looks nice (correct) and is durable...

    For Sale: 1968 floor console

    I am currently in the latter stages of finishing restoration of a black 1968 Mustang floor console that I intend to sell. The item is best described as very appropriate for a daily driven or occasional driven car. As most (40+ years old) 1968 consoles go, it is not 100% perfect for a concours...

    steering wheel

    Hi all, A quick question. Does anyone know whether or not the deluxe (woodgrain) steering wheel was available in '68 as a stand-alone option, or did you have to order the Interior Decor Group to get it? I have heard it both ways, and have seen numerous cars with the woodgrain wheel that did...
