The coil is in a wrong location, the dip stick is from an altinator car, the distributor is modified, and the gas line is 1966. That dosn't make the car a fake, but the engine MIGHT not be original. Could the engine in Tony Gregory's book (5Fo7K 159333) actually be from this car? Block stampings are hard to read. Just a thought and not varifiable.

Tom

No. The car is probably correct and a true K car. I'm just saying that possibly the engine could have been changed. Very few Hipo's are all original. The car looks like a great car.

Tom

I don't think I've ever seen a HiPo with power brake.

If the seller wants to help buyers feel more comfortable about the car, pictures of the inner fender VIN stamps are in order, in addition to rear exhaust hanger reinforcements and snubber plate pics.

The hi-po registry showing the VIN as engine-only should throw up a red flag and necessitate a very thorough examination.

The vin listed in the ad is 5F07K159833, not 159333.

Yes, I see that, but the car (5Fo7k159833)was restored in Oregon and the engine (5Fo7k159333) was regerested in Oregon. Like I said, it proves nothing but it just makes you wonder.

Nice looking car but has mismatched parts on it.The restorer wasn't that good as well as the guy who checked it with the book unless owner isn't telling the whole story!
