68HCS289
Well-known member
Thank you everyone who helped me as I was deciding on whether to go forth with the '68 High Country Special I was looking to purchase from a fellow MCA member. It is official, I bought her!! She is being picked up by the transport today in Illinois and expected to arrive to me in PA on Tuesday. I am so EXCITED!
289 automatic with PS and PB. She has typical issues with the torque box and a mis-fire in the engine but runs well other than that so I am thinking it can be fixed easily (hoping). One thing I will have to tackle is the owner prior to the one I am buying from had repainted it a dark blue when it was originally Acapulco Blue (which I think is a way better color) so I will eventually repaint it. I have the HCS badges already for car. Right now it'll look like a GT/CS until I can restore her correctly. Here she is, I named her 'Sky' for one day she will be back to the wonderful Acapulco Blue Color.
Exciting the car has travelled from Golden, CO to Illionois near MO to find a permanent home in PA:smile: Anyone going to the Carlsile All Ford Nationals in PA the following weekend? I'll be there, not sure if I will have this one with me but we'll see:wink:
