    California Special ??

    Thank goodness for wives (did I say that?). I stand corrected and, yes, my memory is shot. YES, there were High Country Specials starting in 1966. My wife quickly pointed it out to me right after my post. I was just told never to reply to a post without consulting with her first. My...

    California Special ??

    SL 1993, check again. Mustang Monthly ran an article on the High Country Specials a number of years back and they were introduced after the CS. I agree, my memory is getting bad...my wife has to remind me when our anniversary is, garbage pickup, etc... However, I'm sure that I never heard of...

    65-66-door hinge questions

    I had the same issue on my 64 1/2 when I went to bolt up some replacement rust free doors from a 65. When my original bolts would not fit the replacement doors, I just assumed it was another unique feature to the 64 1/2. I just went to my local Home Depot and picked up 3/8" bolts and bolted up...

    California Special ??

    Thanks, I think my memory is going with age. It was a 68 CS and NOT a 67. Now, if you can trust me, the High Country Specials were introduced after the CS.

    California Special ??

    One last note... I think you can kind of validate if the car is an original CS versus a clone. You can check the DSO code to make sure that it was destined to go to a west coast distribution center. For example, if the car has a Philiadelphia DSO code on the data plate, then it's a clone.

    California Special ??

    They were basically stock Mustang coupes with some add on's. Though they were called California Specials, they were sold not only in CA, but in a number of western states (Nevada, Oregon ???). There were Lucas fog lamps up front in the grille area. Also, they had Shelby-like side scoops on...

    Steering Box Adjustment

    ARTTII has it right. I did the same adjustment to my stock steering box about 3 months back and the improvement was significant. The adjustment did not eliminate all of the play, but then I do not believe these steering boxes were ever perfect. If you still have "play" in the steering, you...

    Which Gears To Choose?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Though the car is strictly a weekend driver, I want to take it on the highway without the engine screaming. I'm sure I could deal with the 3.55's up to 60mph. Beyond that, well I'm not so sure. Will I get a worthwhile boost going from 2.75's to 3.25's? With the...

    Which Gears To Choose?

    Well, I've finally had it with my 2.75 gears on my 64.5 coupe. I want to switch to a higher ring & pinion gear (numerically), but I am not sure which to go with. At first I thought about 3.55's, but I am concerned that it might be a bit too much for the 3 speed manual and 260v8. I am now...

    help identifying another song

    It's off the "Rumors" album. It's a classic. Though I have it on CD, I still have the vinyl LP somewhere in the basement along with some vintage mustang monthly magazines stacked on top.
