My 68 GT500 has a build date of 2/20/68. It is an automatic with air. The rear springs are marked C7ZA 5556 AR 7BT.

I noticed when dissembling that they are 5 leaf and have 67 type clamps ( I guess they are 67 type as they are 2 piece). One of the leaves runs almost the entire length of the base spring. Are these the correct springs? If they are, do they make a replacement anti-squeak pad for the long spring as it is square with a nub on the back. Thanks!

Looks like these old rumors will never die....

What was the date range that they stamped partial VIN's in the intake manifolds of the GT500's? If I remember correctly it was maybe February , March or so.

Can someone refresh my memory on the headlamp door rivet. I have one headlamp door with a rivet through the side of it and the other side does not have it. It was explained on the old board...Thanks!

I haven't posted this plea since we got a new upgraded site.

Still looking for my high school 1968 GT500. It was in Lake Charles, LA in about 1978. Believe it was sold to someone in Mississippi around that time possibly a little later. Specifics when I last saw it:

Air
Had hubcaps
2 extra gauges in console
Crease in rear quarter on drivers side behind rear wheel opening
Nose had been repainted and a different shade than rest of car. Had original paint at the time

Thanks!

I found fragments of some type of inspection sheet in my GT500. Does anyone know what it is?





Looks like it might say Repair Inspection Card



Thanks!

Can someone tell me if these horns appear to be correct for an A/C car?


Also can someone decode the dates on the horns? Also I seem to remember that the horns are different on A/C cars, is this correct or is old age kicking in...




Thanks guys!
