    1968 Real Deal or Clone?

    Ive also got a rebuilt 250 longblock out of a Maverick and a set of unobtainable 69 Mustang 250 mounts with excellent condition rubber isolators. The C4 in the 67 is a reman unit with almost no miles on it. So, I thought about that swap as well. I like the six because theres a lot of room...

    1968 Real Deal or Clone?

    We all like a project to work on, but in reality, it would take me years to complete. Ive had the 67 in storage for 18 months, thinking that I would swap in a V8. Ive got all the parts, I just havent got around to doing it, and Im retired, so work isnt in the way. The 65 has been off the road...

    1968 Real Deal or Clone?

    EAPS = electric assist power steering. Ive got the car, engine and transmission, so I figured another 15k would get it done. Ive also yanked the 4 lug running gear and installed a 5 lug 8 inch and 5 lug power drum brakes all around. The interior was redone by the PO and needs nothing. When I...

    1968 Real Deal or Clone?

    Ive got a super nice 65 coupe, probably a 20k car on a good day. Ive also got a blank canvas 67 coupe. Ive always wanted a CS, but I want one to drive, so I want disc brakes, EAPS, AC, AOD. Ive got the thought of cloning the 67 into a CS. it is a 200/C4, and has a wiped cam lobe, so it...

    1968 Purchase

    few people bought these cars and left them in a garage for 50 years. Few have survived 50 years without being in a fender bender or two. Few didnt get the dash hacked up when cassette players were the rage. Its pretty easy to build a Mustang worth 50K, the problem is, its going to cost you...

    1968 Purchase

    BTW: I guess my interest in this car is that it is a Lime Gold coupe and I dont see CS's for sale very often so I never really considered owning one. I will watch this a little longer and see what develops. I have a very nice 64 F100, 292/AT Custom Cab, flareside that sits in a rented garage...

    1968 Purchase

    I see a few issues myself. The dash pad is probably the cheap repop not the original tooling. I cant tell on the hood. Most of the interior has been painted or dyed with poor prep work, the color is uneven and inconsistent. Mixing aftermarket with original interior pieces makes the car look...

    1968 Purchase

    Hi all, Im interested in the CS that is listed in the classifieds at Mountaineer Ford in WV. Im one of the few fans of Lime Gold. My folks bought a Lime Gold coupe in 67 and held on to it for 20 years. I see this car is not totally original, but is pretty close. Any opinions on the value of...
