Good to hear Arlie, I didn't think you'd be out of the saddle for too long. A Highland Green build sounds great, I hope we get pics.

Richard, use a spray bottle with water and liquid detergent to wet the decal before applying it. This gives a bit of "slip" for adjustments. There should be a little squeedgy type thing with the kit, use that to press out any air bubbles and excess water. I've done it a few times now, it's not...

Sounds like a switch issue to me as well, if the brake lights are working when more pressure is applied when in Drive. I can't recall if these switches have some adjustment, some do. Stephen, you should be able to see the switch if you look under the brake pedal, it's activated by the pedal...

TexAG is there a chance you're overfilling tha radiator? If it's filled to the top (commonly done) the coolant will overflow when it gets hot, every time. The correct level is about an inch from the top of the neck.

Very nice car Arlie.

I would pay the man $12k and there would two more happy people in the world. How often do you get a chance at something like this? In the scheme of things and over a period of time $2,000 is not significant. Surely there is a premium for a one owner GT/CS? You'll be kicking yorself if someone...

Agreed Neil. I asked if the engine had any performance enhancements to it, current seller said no, it was rebuilt to stock factory specs. This was before I found out it had a 302 when it was for sale by the previous owner (it had 289 decals on it then also). The current owner may well have found...

Saw that one Arlie, unfortunately it's a six. Although relatively rare, it doesn't appeal. The ebay 68 HCS has a NOM 302 in it, I found out by researching a bit more and finding an old ad from the previous owner (car appears exactly the same between then and now bar the 10 spokes). This seller...

It does look nice. I was interested in the car and asked for more pictures, which I got. Unfortunately something just isn't quite right - the diff, and everything attached to it is old and rusty looking. The whole car is supposed to be new or restored, including the "back end". The seller isn't...

Hi Bob, I just wanted to let you know that 66 HCS with VIN 6R07A232766 will soon have a new home. I have bought the car from Joe Murphy of NH. It will soon be headed to sunny Western Australia. Not much in the way of High Country here unfortunately but she'll probably be seeing the ocean for...

I was speaking with someone who bought a Mercedes from them a couple of years ago and they had similar things to say.

Congratulations, looks like a nice car - love the bug deflector. :wink: Nothing beats a classic car with a story and you've sure got one. All the best with it.

From rust proofing maybe? I've not seen them there before though.

As somethingspecial said. And here's a "how to identify" link from this website: http://californiaspecial.com/1968-GTCS-identification.htm And FYI - Marti AutoWorks (you can order an express report by email): https://www.martiauto.com/reports2.cfm
