I owned this car in Connecticut in the mid-late 70's and would love to find it. The car was originally Ivy Green I believe, but was painted red when I had it. It had a standard tan/beige interior, 4spd with a Rally Pack, and from what I can gather off my old records, the vin was 5F09K306431. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Anyone have pictures of some of the B/FX Mustang Fastbacks that raced in the 60's? (other than the factory "Quarter Horse" Mustang)

Trying to track down my dad's Mustang he owned in the mid-'70s. 1965 Mustang Fastback K-Code 4spd, supposedly the car was an early car, originally dark green with a standard tan interior and Rally Pack. Last seen painted red in Connecticut. Here's where it gets difficult though, who ever took down the vin on the old registartion I have left one digit out. All I have is "5F09K30643". I tried every combo on the HiPoMustang Exchange registry. Any ideas or input, it sure would be great to track it down again. Thanks,

Looking for a high HP 289, 302, 351 or stroker motor, preferably something used, let me know what you have, send emails to Dean at hotrodlincoln28a@aol.com
-Thanks!
Anyone use the '65 shelby side exhaust kit available from Branda Performance? (http://www.cobranda.com) Just wondering if they fit as easy as they are supposed to and how they sound, thanks
-Greg
289kford- that injection setup is something! Looks just like Webers, the price stings though, double what Webers are. So a new 48IDA Weber setup isn't exactly something I can pull out of the box, tune and drive? The car runs good now and we want to keep it reliable. Thanks,

Redoing a 289 that currently is bored .030 over with a large cam (.530+ range as I recall), GT40 iron heads, roller rockers and a '66 GT350 high rise manifold and Holley 4bbl. We're leaving the cam but swapping over to aluminum 165cc AFR heads. The big question is should we go with a new reproduction Weber 4-carb 48IDA setup or Paxton SN60 supercharger. What would make better power with a big cam and those heads, and how hard is it to set up and tune Webers? Any thoughts would be great. We're trying to make big power while still maintaining small cubic inches and keeping everything vintage. Thanks,
-Greg
Note: I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place, the car is a factory C-code, not a K.

No it's not a Shelby... It's one step up from a outright clone, but in reality it's just a Mustang with nice parts on it. Only one (as I recall) '66 GT350 ever came with a pony interior so thats wrong, not to mention the rear wheel flares look terrible. Way too much explaining to do on that one for my taste.
-Greg
This is great, just what I was looking for. I have '65/66 GT350 Tri-Y headers for it, and for carburetion it's a repro setup of the original Cobra 3x2 setup. Think those carbs will do ok for performance in this combo? Or should I get a big high rise (Edelbrock Victor) and a 4bbl. Three deuces is more correct obviously but I dont want to cut back much performance either. Thanks again,
-Greg
Wow those are impressive. So for my 289, would the 165 58cc heads be the way to go? The 58's will give higher compression correct? Also what is the difference between emissions and non-emissions heads? I dont have any form of regulations on the car as far as emissions, so performance is the number one factor.
-Thanks,
Greg
Hey guys, looking to gain some HP and torque on a 289 without spending too much. Unfortunately I did not build the engine, so I dont know the specifics, but it's a 289ci bored .030 at the most, nice choppy cam (not too radical or anything) Tri-Y headers, and three deuces. As far as I know the heads are stock. Are there any good ready to run cylinder heads out there that would be worth buying? What would be a good unit to run? I don't mind high compression either... Thanks,
-Greg

Looking for a used pair of glass front fenders for a '65/'66 Mustang. Nothing flared or anything, just stock replacement style in glass. Thanks,
-Greg
Try some Radir Tri-Rib wheels. They are completely correct for the vintage and I have seen 1965 Mustang ads with those wheels on the car. My son put a set of 15x6's on his '65 Fastback with bias plys and they look awesome.
-Greg
I'd like to see that Mustang of yours! What modifications were done to it? See I have a clean '65 Fastback that I would like to make into a 100% period correct, lettered drag car, but dont want to go through the work to make a 427 A/FX car (as cool as that would be though). I was thinking a dealer (Tasca) modified 289 car with alot of '65 Shelby equipment and other period corect items (bias cheater slicks, Rader wheels up front, torque thrusts out back, exhaust dumps, lift kit etc...)
I'm just curious if Tasca ever set up any '65 Mustangs for drag use other than the Tasca sponsored Bill Lawton A/FX car. Say someone in 1965 wanted a Mustang Fastback to drag, could he go to Tasca, buy a car and have them modify it for racing? Thanks,
-Greg
