New listing by seller crazycardeals

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>UP FOR AUCTION TODAY IS A STUNNING FRESHLY RESTORED 1965 FORD MUSTANG, HiPo , TRUE K-CODE CONVERTIBLE. THE RESTORATION WAS JUST COMPLETED 5 DAYS AGO. IT HAS A FRESH ORIGINAL 289 WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR HAS JUST ABOUT NOTHING LEFT UNTOUCHED. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES, WE LEFT THE UNDERCARRIAGE ORIGINAL BECAUSE IT WAS IN SUCH GREAT SHAPE STILL (NOT EVEN A LITTLE RUST!) ALOT OF CARE WAS TAKEN IN BRINGING THIS RARE CLASSIC BACK TO THE WAY YOU SEE IT TODAY. REALLY THE PICTURES DONT DO THIS CAR JUSTICE, IT IS A REAL BEAUTY. THE COMPLETE RESTORATION HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED, AND ALL THE RECEIPTS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR.

IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE FORD MUSTANG, YOU KNOW HOW RARE A TRUE K-CODE HiPo CAR REALLY IS. COMBINE THAT WITH THE PONY INTERIOR, AND THE CONVERTIBLE TOP, AND YOU REALLY HAVE A RARE COLLECTORS DREAM!

It was so beautiful and dazzling that they forgot to put in the pony interior they talk about, paint the engine the correct color, put the interior door handles on straight, replace the aftermarket battery cables, replace the cheap aftermarket radio, use wiring tie-downs or put the coil in the right place. Nice looking car overall, but I think it dazzled them a little too much. <img src=images/icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle> b9folk

Is that blue tape in the upper left data plate shot? Oil pan - ouch.

I do like that exterior color. It's a little sad they didn't have more information to guide their restoration efforts, but a nice car for someone who wants a driver that needs work.

My favorite is the shifter boot bolted on top of the carpet with no floating plate.

I wish my car only needed that much work...

After looking at the pix of thier workmanship, I have a better understanding of why they did not do anything to the undercarraige:

They don't know how to.

The single exhaust pipe chrome extension and missing door latch screw just below the data plate are sporty touches.

The sticker that specifies the radiator belongs in 'front' is a nice touch too...

Yes, it's too bad the "complete restoration" which was just "completed 5 days ago" didn't go a bit longer and a bit more carefully and accurately. Don't know what's under the paint or inside the motor, needs a lot more detailed info but I like the Kar and wouldn't mind completing the work. Says it has a "fresh original 289" but not so sure that means the original K motor or just any old 289.

The Kar has fog lights and appears to have the fog light switch on the dash, as well as some gauge below the dash. But no other GT stuff.

What's the month code on the data plate? Looks like O but shouldn't be, I can't tell what it is, could it be a Q? Where would that San Jose unit number fit in the production?

Nice Kar, for a Chevy dealer to be selling. Typical dealer hype in the description.
