    Ford is suing companies for use of Mustang name?

    What this means for me is no more Ford products. Ever. I'll swallow my pride and buy a Chevy before Ford gets a dime of my money.

    Is this the last year for gt 500s?

    I hope they don't make it anymore. And I hope the next pinnacle Mustang isn't anywhere near 4000lbs. :notnice: But I hope for your sake that you end up with the car you want at a good price. :nice:

    To Restore or Resto-Mod 68 Fastback

    I'd definitely do some safety upgrades - brakes, suspension, tires etc - then go from there. You could keep it stock looking, but with excellent parts underneath.

    Classic guys, I'm looking for advice.

    I think $14k would be a good price for the buyer.

    I did mine almost a year ago, about 8 hours of prep work followed by 2-3 hours of painting, it still looks great. Before and After:

    68 Coupe Just Finished

    I must say it looks good... either way... :nice: just leave it as is, with rockers on the drivers side but not the passenger side. You'll have the best of both worlds!

    Cost of gear install?

    I have a 97 cobra and have been looking to get 4.10s installed. I was quoted between 650-1250 depending on the shop. The cheapest was a differential shop, the most expensive a regular car care place, and in the middle was a domestic performance shop. Is 650 a little high (including parts)? I...

    Holley carb help

    Thanks to all who replied... The car is running! I removed the spark plugs and turned the engine over a few times. Replaced them with new NGK ones with a heat range of "6". Tried to start the car. It cranked a lot faster, but to no avail. It was sitting at a nose-down angle, approx. 15...

    Holley carb help

    Both 600s are new in the box vacuum secondary electric choke models. I got the idea it was flooding from the troubleshooting portion of the manual. The ignition is an MSD billet distributor and an MSD coil. I say it is not sparking great because it is not as strong as it was when I built...

    Holley carb help

    I have a 331 in my 68. It had a Carter AFB but did not run very well, or start very well. Since everything else was new I replaced the carb with a Holley 4160 600cfm carb. It started right up and I drove it a few miles. No problems with warm or cold starts. The next day I started it again, it...

    And on the inside, mine is getting a semi-custom suede/cloth interior right now, though it used to have saddle leather... I don't want to modify my cobra...that much. Eh, who am I kidding, its probably getting a full maximum motorsports suspension when I get back. I still don't know what...
