Factory tours are Mon-Fri (I arranged ours through our dealer and zone rep).

We went on a Monday. But careful, unless it's changed, the Museum was closed Mondays; open Tues-Sun).

Just had the brake switches replaced last summer (the '84). Same symptoms as yours; brake lights would work, but only if you were standing on the pedal. Much better now.

Between my '68 and my '84, it's the '68 that I'll never part with. And I say this after driving it 600 miles to a "long hood" show this summer in 95 degree heat! Then again, I don't own a GT3 :-)

My wife's convertible is away. The '68 went away last weekend. I just finished changing the oil on the '84 but it will stay out until the first snowfall is forecast. Yes, you can see winter coming.

About all I can suggest...if you know someone else with a car of your vintage, see if you can briefly swap out your "brain." They can do some pretty strange things when they...

Not an SC, but my '84 (last year before power locks) and my '68 both behave the same way. So being in the middle, I'd say it's normal.

And I'm okay with that...just means stupid (me) can't lock...

Try different cars. Now I'm only 6'0" (perhaps a little short for this group), but the couple I bought my '84 from...he must be at least 6'4" if not higher.
