E-Bay Kar

Does not look like a real GT to me. The brake master cylinder looks like it is for drums and the GT logos themselves are in the wrong place. I would also have this car checked over to see if it still has the K engine in it.

A lot of non-FoMoCo parts under the hood, but that does appear to me to be a DiscC master cylinder - just painted black.

Can't say if the GT badges are correct, but they sure look a little to far forward......Door tag info would help.

If it has a VIN stamped block and tranny this would be a good project unless rust or accident damage is an issue - closer inspection would help.

This car will require a lot of work to make it a nice car

I e-mailed the seller right after the listing showed up on EBay and have yet to hear back from him. Has anyone communicated with the seller?

I have seen the car. I have posted in the general discussion about it if you want to read on it. It's a complete car that will need everything. Engine rebuild, new interior, paint and body work, front end you know the whole nine. The roof is kind of bad. IT would have been nice if he would have taken some pics of it.

The car will require a lot of work but will be nice when finished. I could have sworn that the owner told me it had white interior with red appointments. Well you can only get that in black appts. with the red exterior color. I have tried to contact him and no response. The last time I spoke to him he said that the car was leaking fuel at the fuel pump and at the sending unit and probably would not be able to be drivin for a test drive until both gas leaks were fixed. The car has power steering on it right now that is leaking everywhere and it looked like a possible rear main seal leak. If your going to pull the engine to rebuild it then that shouldn't be a issue at all. If any one has any qiuestions I will try and answer them to the best of my ability. I'm going to pass on the car unless he sells it to me for my $26,500 offering price. I really don't want to spend for then 25k for it though.

Yes the car wil require work, but I agree with Fred about it being a good project car. There aren't going to be any fastbacks available for $26K that are restored; they will all require a lot work. There are also four days left on the auction and the car appears to be heading higher.

That is actually a roof shingle. On the right side there is some insualtion stuck in very front of the quarter panel as well. I assume the owner before the present one had something to do in construction and maybe tried to make it have less road noise. Not really sure.

The carb is correct for the car and was sent off I think a year ago to pony carbs and was bebuilt. He had a receipt for it. I couldn't believe that shingle was there either. I didn't peel it back to see if it had body work done under it. The car just wasn't described to me to well. He said it was a nice driver car. I would have called it a totally unrestored solid car with a paint job about 15 years ago on it and a rough roof. The car is not driveable until you fix the gas leaks and the overheating problem. I didn't see any water in the oil so I would think the heads and block are good. But I can't say for sure. I never cranked up the car to hear ot run.

Can somone tell me if ragoon red came with the F5 interior combo. I looked up in a friends book that red only came with these color combos in pony 65, 66, f6 and f9. Not F5 Thanks

Are we sure the engine block is original? It looks blue in the pics, or is that the manifold?

Couldn't you get pretty much any interior colour you wanted back in the day?

As far as the interior not according to my friends book. Those choices that I stated above were the only colors in pony for a red car.

I owned a 66 'A' code hardtop that came from the factory in 'Springtime Yellow', code 8, and with a 'Parchment and Black' interior, code F9, a combination not listed in the standard interior and without a special DSO. Ford was interested in selling cars and color combinations were the least of their worries. A 'Rangoon Red' and a 'Pony' White and Red interior are not outside the realm of possibility. A red car with a yellow interior or a red car with a blue interior would probably not make it past the the order desk.

I agree with you. I don't think they cared back then like they do now on what color car gets what color interior.
