That VMF thread is a real eye opener.

CharlesTurner · August 27, 2006 at 7:54 PM

Yeah, definitely the topic of the week! There were 2 other threads related to the seller of the 'x' code.

Mate,I just spent 15 minutes reading that post and what a story.It was just like reading a novel.What a scam artist! He even lists it as a GT and there is not one GT item on there. Something to be learnt,buyer BEWARE.......John

Back again!! Same Seller...Previous listing ended early because of an "error" in listing.

I can't post pic's in the "General Discussion" section, but look at the previous listing engine bay pic's, then look at the new listing engine bay pic's..... Waalllaaa The engine has been transformed into a 352 c.i.

O.M.G.

*From reading the forum discussion on VM, this seller is a scam artist.

Hey, he has a letter from Ford. Of course, I could send them my VIN with an "R" instead of a "K" and they will list that motor in the specs because the moron doing the research is just matching numbers. Maybe I'll offer to bid if he converts it over the correct engine. Then he could explain how the shock towers were not wide enough to get the orignal engine back in.

He posted a picture of the VIN on the inner fender, but I can't make it out.

Nice picture, huh? Obviously trying to cover it up, probably found a 'T' for the engine code. <img src=images/icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=images/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

A little more readable my arse!

noelfisher_old · September 18, 2006 at 11:21 PM

A VIN on drugs.

ponygt65_old · September 19, 2006 at 12:29 AM

COme on guys...it is a 'Title of a vehicle'.....it is correct.

I am curious about the 352 CID motor though.....quite strange. Anyone know anything about them?

Helmantel_old · September 19, 2006 at 8:24 AM

He had in ebay before with a different air cleaner. Apparently, he found a rusty old 352 air cleaner on some Galaxie and put it on, just to make a look real. Yeah, right...

Funny thing, a letter from Ford. They are not in a big hurry to help anyone make more money off of a car. If it was so rare and experimental, a museum would want it wouldn't they?

It appears to have a 350'somthin' in it. Like a 351w out of a 77 T-bird.

FWIW, my cousin has a 65 Fastback A code that is supposed to have been Lee Iacocoa's company car. It has a lot of TRUE experimental parts in it with XE part numbers. And leather interior, that is definitely from 1965, and an engraved very old plaque in the dash stated it belongs to Mr. Iacocoa.

Try getting Ford (or Lee) to document it...not happening on paper. Someone did verbally, but that's it. My uncle found it in a barn about 27 years ago with the above mentioned oddball items, and he restored it, then sold it to my cousin. It was featured in Mustang Monthly back in 85 or 86, and they seemed to believe it.

Wonder if the car above could be featured <img src=images/icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

Didn't realize that.

Sheesh, what a CROOK.

Looks like a normal 289/302 smallblock to me.

Yup. And, based on the shape and height of them, I do believe that those are modern SVO valve covers that have been painted blue.

The Army took many (but not all) million dollar computers and crushed them on the airport runways in Germany in the sixties and the car companies took many (but not all) experimental cars and crushed them in the back forty at the proving grounds (still doin' it.) C'mon guys, American car companies did not have polcicy that impelled them to save experiments - the goal was always to mass produce the best and most reliable transportion for customers so they could provide investors with the best possible return. It was not Fiat or BMC or BMW or... Oh, I have no opinion on this at all. Let's look at it: should I buy a Ferrari and have a $3,000 tune-up every couple of months or a Mustang or 'vette and just keep driving and playin' with it and loving it?
