    1968 Interior Question

    I'm coming down to the final restoration of my CS and I've got a question about the carpet color. My car has an Ivy Gold standard interior, but my carpet is a dark green.. It looks good and it's in decent shape but I'm not sure that it's correct for the car. Anyone out there with Ivy Gold ??

    My stang is in the body shop being prepped right now for it's nice new coat of Seafoam Green. So I am purchasing new side stripes and even though my car wasn't optioned with it, I'm going with the Blacked out hood treatment option that was available in 68. So if anyone can help me out, I'm...

    Bleeding Power Steering System

    Just changed out both hoses (leaking) on the power steering pump on my CS. I have a 302. I'm assuming that since air was introduced to the system that a bleeding process has to occur, but I can't seem to find any instructions anywhere. I have filled the reservoir to the full mark but not yet...

    Getting ready to paint..

    I've got a pretty clean Seafoam Green CS and was told when I bought it that the paint was original. I've got several areas on the car that I just can't live with so I've taken the car to a couple of resto shops here in S.E. Michigan and needless to say, the paint (while it's not horrible), is...

    Seafoam Green CS Owners...

    Hey all, I'm trying to find out how rare my car may be before I decide to sink a bunch of money into a nice resto.. After going through the last registry, I found 22 Seafoam green cars with only one that was optioned like mine (and I have reason to believe that that one may have been painted a...

    Exhaust Questions

    I just had new duals put on my CS from front to back. I went with a set of Stainless Aero's that had a really sweet, deep sound but not too loud. Had em installed at a local specialist.. One of the glass packs that were on the car when I bought it had a hole in it and I had a bit of a...

    2005 Woodward Dream Cruise

    Hey, did anyone happen to get their CS to the Detroit area this past weekend for the Woodward Dream Cruise? My wife said that she may have caught a glimpse of one other, but unless I can confirm that, I think that mine was the only one around. We took part in Mustang Alley on Saturday (in...

    Automatic Choke Problem...

    This is probably a simple one for you guys, so any suggestions would be great. When starting my cs, when I attempt to set the choke by putting the accelerator to the floor, the choke is slow to react. If I hold it for several seconds, it will finally attempt to slowly close the butterfly on...

    Smog equipment on the 68's

    Just like to get some opinions about keeping the smog stuff on my GT/CS. On one hand it's nice and original and I really want to keep this car stock, but on the other I'm hearing that it's robbing horsepower. So 2 questions that I'm looking for here and then I'd also like some of your opinions...

    Anyone know where I can get an original filler cap for the 302 v4. It seems to be the only thing missing from under the hood. I'm guessing that there may be a pcv valve from the cap to the air cleaner..?? Can anyone confirm.. thanks

    Registry on this site

    I submitted my registry info on the form on the registry page. Can anyone tell me what happens from here. Can I see my info in a registry somewhere? Sorry, I'm new to the site, (and Mustangs) probably going to have a lot of stupid questions.

    My new 68 GT/CS

    Hi all, just bought my first mustang ever. Probably shouldn't say this, but I've been a chevy guy for about 30 years. I'm new to this site, and I tend to ramble so if you're not in the mood for a story, you should probably click away. Anyway, I went down to the Indy 500 a couple of years...
