What do you guys estimate this car is worth as is ? it needs everything replaced; full floor, rockers, frame rails, torque boxes, cowl, sheet metal, etc.

65gt_old · May 30, 2007 at 7:07 AM

Bidder 1 thinks the car is worth $10K.

silverblue_old · May 30, 2007 at 9:23 AM

this car was discussed in the forum Klassifieds back in Feb.

link- http://www.hipomustang.com/hpmx/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6350

it was thought to be a 64 1/2 at that time but it is a 65. the person who's helping sell it has suggested a rebody may be the way to go because the rust is so extensive.

I wonder why it's sitting on pallets in the pictures. Maybe they needed to move it around with a forklift??

If it has all its parts it could be worth 10K in the hipo parts alone, especially if you sold everything individually. Think about how much motor mounts, carbs, rear end parts, individual motor parts (rods, blocks, caps) fans have all been going for. It might be better to part the car out from a financial standpoint.

Bidding ended at $12,600 reserve not met.

This could fire up another round of the rebody versus part-out controversy. Assume that you've had this Kar since new and had a lot of nostalgic attachment for it... make up your own scenerio... your father who was killed in Viet Nam owned it, etc. Now you can't tell me you wouldn't MUCH rather rebody/rebuild the Kar than simply sell the parts off? If that justified rebodying it, then any excuse is just as good, isn't it?

Obviously the K stuff is worth a lot... apparently the seller thinks more than $12,600. So take this Kar, get another convert with a very nice body... drive-train, interior, etc. not important... maybe $10,000 and put them together. It would be a beautiful car what with the triple-black. So now what's better... this rare K convert back on the road, albeit rebodied... or reincarnated or rebuilt, whatever term you like... or scrapped and the parts disbursed to other cars... is there any real difference?

If it were my Kar and the circumstances were right... I would have no problem doing whatever it took to "restore" the Kar. I don't know about you but even though I don't own the car and probably wouldn't buy it once it had been restored... I love the car, just for what it is and the history behind it... I don't want to see it destroyed. But the seller better do something with it soon or it will be a pile of rust dust out in his field.

Did anyone notice that this car still has the road draft tube?

I just noticed it in the pictures.

LuvKcodes_old · June 4, 2007 at 11:58 PM

It's surprising that it has so much of the original stuff still on it considering how rusty it is. The seller says it has been sitting for over 20 years and it has a 1977 Pennsylvania sticker on the windshield indicating that was when it was last registered.

Maybe to keep it from sinking into the ground once the tires / suspension went flat / died. Curious how someone would get it onto them though.
