Have you got aftermarket decklid and endcaps? Or, which parts are aftermarket and which parts are original?

I just saw a GT/CS at the University of Texas at Arlington and was wondering if anyone owns it that is a member of the forum?

I would definately go with the shelby. The shelby as a basketcase is worth more than a restored GT/CS. You can always get a GT/CS anyday, but Shelbys are hard to come by and rare. Just be sure to verify whatever cars authenticity that you choose. Good luck.

My decklid comes up with ease by itself. But you guys don't want to put too much tension on the rods, because when they fly up like that, the decklid has to suddenly stop when the hinge stops. This puts a lot of stress on the decklid. The old fiberglass on the orignal decklids has a tendency...

Wow, i didn't even see that. It kind of blends into the rest of the mess. Car doesn't have A/C, much less, factory A/C. Maybe "Father and Son" got tired of spending money on this fake :-\

Are you the seller of this vehicle classicsguy? This vehicle looks like a possible fake to me. From what i can tell, the quarters have been replaced and done so poorly. Fiberglass decklid and endcaps are non-original, their origin appears to be from the ill fitting Maier Fiberglass. As...

Are you talking about the intake manifold gasket, the one that connects the intake with the head? Thanks.

The engine is single overhead cam. Would the cylinder get compression with a bad valve spring or bent valve? I checked the injectors by pulling the rail out and cranking the engine, they are all spitting fuel. I replaced the ignition module and ignition coil, but no luck yet. I don't get why...

The cylinder has good compression. I can't find a vacuum leak. I see a spark when i pull the wire off, could there be bad voltage to the plug?

Hey guys, just got a 1988 mustang convertible. I know its off topic, but i ran in to a problem i can't solve. I replaced the engine, and its missing. cylinder number 4 is missing. I replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor. When i pull the wire off when its running, i can see the spark...

I would be very careful about buying it. The carpet is covered up, maybe rusted out floor pans? Check the cowl vents for rust. Look underneath the dash. Also, the decals on the decklid and endcaps are not original. Maybe a fake? Just be careful.

These are not correct for the GT/CS. they should have chrome backs and fog lens. The value of you lights would be from $20-$75 depending on their condition.

Have any of you done the 99' cobra IRS(independent rear suspension) switch? I just finished it on my car. I couldn't swallow paying over 1k for the brakets, so I cut and welded made some myself. The car can now accept 17 inch cobra r wheels with a wider wheel base. Now i have rear disc...

I'm having trouble finding the convertible for sale on e-bay. Could you post the item #? I would like to get a good laugh at it. thanks

I never accused the guy of fraud. I just let him know to make sure the car was legit before passing it off as a true 1968 Gt/CS. You would think the seller of a car that he wants more than 10k's would at least be interested in these flaws. Something is fishy.
