Was it the GT equipment that pushed the price up on this one, more desirable? Buyer will have $30k + in the car just tracking down the hipo parts, and then get to start spending lots more $'s on the restoration. Is the market bouncing back up again?

Dent from pulling the motor? The guy holding up the tranny so the eng/trans could be swung out of engine bay, knocked his beer over and had to let go to save it, causing dent?
Looks like an early 70's 302, with an economy rebuild using a single can of engine spray paint. Isn't that a 70's era engine color?

$20k high end?
What a car is worth is relative to how badly someone wants one at the time. $15k would give you some room to purchase an original engine which you'll probably have $10k into (with rebuild). As it has been said here many times, you are always better off buying a more complete car drivetrain and K specific parts wise. If you take into account $'s what it would cost to bring this car up to a clean driver status, you might be better off being patient and spending more on a car you can enjoy right now.

What I find interesting is that a project K car for sale, with the majority of the correct K specific engine parts, doesn't command much more $'s than a project K missing the original engine/K specific parts.
Probably like everyone here, every time I think it's time to clean up my extra Hipo parts and cash them in, I see prices go to another ridiculously high level. Anyone think these high prices are going to end any time soon?
Does anyone think the muscle car bubble is going to burst any time soon? I keep thinking back to the financial times/economy of the late 80's when the housing market tanked, interest rates jumped up and guys who had speculated on high end muscle cars, were looking at a 50% or more drop in the values of their cars. I had a friend back then that bought a nice mid 60's 427 vette for $60k with an home equity loan, expecting the market to keep going up, only to get slammed on his adjustable rate loan, and then when he had to sell it, only got $35k for the car. Talk about a double hit.

New Listing Info:
"This beautiful 1966 Ford Mustang K Code Car is finished in classic Acapulco Blue, with new black vinyl interior and new black carpet. The Ford recently underwent a "frame-on" restoration. Before the new paint was applied, the Mustang was stripped to bare metal. The paint on this classic Pony Car is in exceptional condition. The car also boasts new Torque Thrust Wheels with matching Cooper Cobra Tires, it has new exhaust, clean underneath with no rust, 9 inch Locker rear-end with low gears, Power Steering and Power brakes, and the high performance 289 engine. The previous owner represented the mileage as actual, though the title reads exempt. This Mustang is turnkey, and ready to enjoy. The Mustang is powered by the original, high performance 289, 271HP K code engine that has less than 500 miles since a complete rebuild. The C-4 automatic, shifts out very smoothly, and all of the fluids have been changed."

New E-Bay Listing: 67 K Coupe
Also referenced for sale above by Mark, forum member "brinks3447"
QuoteDisplay More1967 Mustang K Code GTA Coupe
K code Mustangs are one of the most rare and unique of all the generations of Mustangs. They were only built from 1964 to 1967. These special cars consisted of a 289 engine with 271 horsepower and a 9" rear end. Originally you could only get a 4-speed manual transmission with the option of the K code engine. This was the case until 1966 when they offered an automatic transmission. This was a very rare combination and very few were produced with the automatic transmission. The same situation occurred during 1967 with the automatic transmission being available but very few were ordered. Being able to find one these very rare unique cars is a special treat.
This 1967 Mustang is one of the most rare of all. Truly a one of a kind car. Look down at the statistical analysis provided by Kevin Marti to see that this car is only one of three Candy Apple Red 1967 Mustang Coupes with K code engine and automatic transmission. It is the only one that has black interior with the console. How many 1967 K code Mustangs have you even seen, much less a Candy Apple Red K code coupe? This is an extremely late build date. It could be one of the last K codes ever built. Production of the K code stopped in the same month this car was built. This could even be the last K code coupe ever built, but that is speculation.
This car is very nicely restored. It is not a 100 point concourse car. The car does not have the original K code engine in it. The only K code specific parts that are in the engine bay are the 1967 Hipo exhaust manifolds. I believe the engine is a 1968 289 due to the fact that the heads are dated as such. It has been upgraded with an new intake manifold and an Autolite 4100 series carburetor. I do not know if the carburetor is a Hipo because it is missing its tag. This car has a C4 automatic transmission with the 9" rear end. Both believed to be original to the car. This car does not have a GT hood on it. It does come with the original GT hood. The hood has a small rust spot on the passenger side where the hinge bolts on. This car has 1968 seat covers. Other than those mistakes I believe that it is a very nice car. It runs extremely well and you can feel free to drive on the highway at 70 mph with no shakes or problems.

Any more info on condition of body such as rust or accidents? Original drivetrain? Those conditions/items can make a big difference in what it would take to restore a car, the more work/K specific parts the car needs, will significantly reflect what it's worth.
-
Ditto on checking for all the correct/special Boss 351 parts, just like the K cars, missing specific parts get pricy in a hurry.
The 69 Mach I R code car looks pretty clean. I don't see the carb/ram air setup, does it come with the ram air hood? An original ram air setup for these cars can push $1.5k+ Is the engine is the original vin stamped motor (vin # stamped on top back drivers side of block, I think)? The engine will probably need to be gone through having not run in that long.The interior trim pieces aren't that hard to come by.
The car is already at $23k+. If it were here in the states the car would probably get to the mid-high $20k's. Then you add another $15k (modestly estimated) for the restoration costs, and you're up in the range where you could buy one already restored.
The big block Mach's like the GT500 Shelby's were fun cars in a straight line, but real nose heavy & they don't slide around corners like a small block would.
I would see if you can negotiate the price down on the Boss car. Those really are fun cars, lots of giddiup, and they handle corners pretty well.
-
I had one years ago, and when they are in proper tune, they run like a scalded dog. I think it was a toss up between the 68 1/2 CJ mustang and the 71 Boss 351 as to the fastest stock production 1/4 mile times. In the last year or so prices for them have really taken off, trailing the Boss 302 cars, and the really nice clean low mileage cars are in the $40k-$50k range. What are they asking for it?
