Over the next several months I will be breaking up my 1965 2000 SC "Parts" car. I will be holding onto some of the "hard to find" parts that are compatible with my '68 TC but the rest of the parts are available for free to anyone who wants them for the cost of shipping. I am thinking that some...

After I rebuilt the engine on my 1968 2000 TC, I have a whine at mid RPMs that I do not recall from before the project. It persists regardless of the gearbox or clutch "position". It happens sitting still and when in motion. I removed the fan belt for a short run to eliminate the possibility of...

I am looking to find a replacement radiator cap for my 1968 2000 TC manual car. The radiator in question has a non relieving cap on the top of the radiator (chromed) and a relieving cap on a tank on the side of the radiator. When they made those caps, they only included a few threads on the cap...
