Sold for $27,000 by seller ponchojack.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Frame on restoration of a RARE, rust free, low mileage car with an original numbers matching K-Code Hi-Po 289 engine. 7,273 cars out of the 680,000 Mustangs produced in 1965 had this K-Code Hi-Po engine option.

Other original equipment includes factory 4-speed transmission, front disc brakes, manual choke and two bullet shaped guages for RPM and clock that are both working. All exterior and interior lights are in working condition.

The car has bucket seats and Pony Interior that has been restored to factory specifications. Radiator was replaced with a bigger capacity unit that stays cool even in a hot, slow moving parade!

Tires are GoodYear Eagle Radials P215 60R14 on original rims. Some of the chrome is new and all is rust free.

Odometer shows approximately 51,000 miles which I can not prove is correct but car runs and drives very well. I drive it 3 or 4 times a week during the 4 months I am in Sarasota, Florida, which is where the car is located.

This car was built on 5-15-1965 and sold out of the Boston Sales District. It has all the potential for the right person to make it a #1 Show Car.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

The small master cylinder might not be optimal for disc brakes either! <img src=images/icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>

that car was listed in ebay for all of 2 1/2 hours- not a very well thought out move to offer a low buy it now on a rare car with the original engine. the best thing about ebay is the enormous exposure it offers, unfortunately that benefit is lost when the car is only listed there for 2.5 hours.

So long as the buyer and seller are happy with the price of the car, I guess that's all that matters. I would not consider the car "well-bought" though. The seller might have come out pretty good with this is if the transaction completes for that price. The car looks decent for a weekend cruiser, but is far from show quality.

It's far from show quality and would take quite a bit of time and money to get it there, this car would be a good driver/cruise-in type car. Clean up and detail the engine, clean up the underside and you could have a decent K code convertible for a fair price. Compare it to this K vert which doesn't have a K engine and I don't think the $27k is too bad.
