Sounds as if he doesn't want to quote the price as it must be high?

Here's an old thread discussing the fuel pump rebuilding; it includes the pricing. However, I don't know if the pricing is still current since it is from 3/21/2008. If you are interested, I would advise you to email Fred and ask for the specifics. I'm sure you will find Fred to be an easy guy to work with, at least I know I did.

I have a Jan.67 K block with the VIN stamped.

jdeboss302,

Where did you find the VIN stamping on your Jan '67 block? Same place as on the '65's and 66's?

Looks to be a very nice kar.

Anyone else notice the 289 badge placement on the fenders?

Now that you mention it, the badge does seem a little too far forward. Keen eye there Charles!

Chuck, I have a question in regards to your flywheel, I tried your e-mail with no luck, everyone else's worked but yours wouldn't. Contact me at ltatro@verizon.net, Thanks, Terry

Terry,

Not trying to put my nose into where it doesn't belong. If you're looking for photos of a '67 HiPo flywheel, here's a thread where I posted photos of my '67 flywheel. Scroll down toward the bottom.

The fuel pump is required for the paxton. Apparently you got the fuel pump as part of the package.

Interesting, I learned something new today, thank you! When you have time, please take a look at it and let me know who manufactured the pump.

I just noticed one other thing, incorrect fuel pump.

Keep on enjoying your restoration project! I can't wait to see more photos.

qballll,

Things are looking great!

I believe you may have the incorrect valve covers on your hipo engine. To me they look like the '65/'66 hipo valve covers instead of the '67 hipo valve covers; the '67 hipo valve covers are shaped differently. If you need pics let me know and I'll email you some.

Question: Does this product hold enough moisture / humidity that it could possibly promote the growth of mold, mildew, or rust?

dunc289,

I don't know about the Gabriels, but you can find Koni's here:

http://www.koni-na.com/index.cfm

If you look toward the upper-right hand corner you'll see an area titled "catalog search". Put in your information and it'll tell you the correct Koni numbers for your kar. Then I suggest you take the Koni numbers and Google them to see if you can find better pricing.

Hope this helps!

Terry,

7006P certainly sounds like a TRW number to me. Try searching for a TRW on-line catalog. Once you find the catalog, see if 7006P is in the catalog. Hope this helps!

Charles,

There is no VIN stamping on the block; IMHO, it's just a standard bore, 6-bolt, 289 block. Thank you for the estimate on its value; I really appreciate it.

Hi Guys,

I have, what appears to be, a hipo crankshaft. The crank has orange paint on the throws; one throw is polished and shows evidence of the Brinnel test. The crank includes the hatchet, lower timing gear, bolt, and hipo washer. I have someone that is interested in it, but I don't know what a fair asking price is. Here are some links to pictures of the crank.

Thanks in advance for your input; I really appreciate it!

Hi Guys,

I have a '65, 6-bolt, standard bore, 289 block without main caps. The block was cast on May 20th of 1965 (5E20) and it appears to have been hot tanked, honed (absolutely no ridge in upper cylinder walls) and then coated with an excellent rust preventative. Here's a link to a picture of the casting date. I have someone that is interested in it, but I don't know what a fair asking price is.

Thanks in advance for your input; I really appreciate it.

Jack,

A friend of mine from Louisiana sent you an email regarding your used Arvinode system. BTW, please check your spam box also.

Tom

David,

You should have mail; I sent you a PM and an email.

Hi, not sure if this has been covered before, but does anyone know the build date &/ or VIN # of the last kar built ?

Which model year are you inquiring about?

Presently, $1 AU = $0.811589 US

or $1 US = $1.23215 AU

Hi All,

I have a friend that is presently toying with the idea of purchasing a '65 Mustang, K-code, fastback. The korrekt kar kan be a non-GT or GT, but it must have been painted Ivy Green when it left the factory. He would prefer a kar that is done and one that retains most of its original sheetmetal, but will consider all available kars. I know he would prefer a '65, but if there is a '66 out there that fills the requirements, please let me know.

Please contact me via email or PM through this forum. Thanks in advance for your help and/or cooperation!

Tom

Hi All,

Here's a question that I would like to discuss; hopefully, you do to.

What are the potential risks of posting your vehicle's VIN on the internet. For example, I notice some eBay sellers posting their vehicle's complete VIN, while others purposely block out the sequential number portion of the VIN.

I'm curious to hear about the risk potential and/or anyone's bad experience after posting their complete VIN.

Please, let the discussion begin.

Tom
