Duncan, The PTO you have listed is most likely PIO which is Performance Image Option (GT). My conjecture on the RM would be Remote Mirror.

Back on Ebay again:

It is again listed as a private auction. Now that Ebay has changed their policies on disclosing bidder names, I can see no legitimate reason for a private auction.

Don, From Chris' description, I would say that he has already used the main caps, but I could be wrong.

Chris, Most but not all Hipo blocks received a VIN stamp. I have witnessed several Metucheon built units that were not stamped. The very rare 65 Comet Hipos were not stamped. Of course, any service bare block or short block was not stamped either. This would also include engine assemblies purchased from Shelby American. To the best of my knowledge, Cobra cars were unstamped as well. This would account for a fair number of unstamped real Hipo blocks.

Gary, The 289 emblem is the same as the 65/66 Mustang. The engineering number on the back side of the 63/64 Fairlane High Performance emblem is C3OB 16C236 A.

Gary, The emblem that you are seeking is a C3OZ 16098 A and is the High Performance backing plate only just as the Mustang C5ZZ 16228 B High Performance plate is. Both of them use the C3OZ 16228 B 289 emblem that fits over them. There has been a one piece reproduction of the Fairlane emblem for at least 20 years and it is incorrect as being one piece. I have had quite a few of the original 63/64 Hipo Fairlane emblems and they were always two piece.

The drivetrain to me refers to the transmission and rear end. This may not be everyone elses definition of the term for drivetrain. I did give credit for some of the engine parts being Hipo pieces. The block is a later date code than the car and it is missing the front main cap which makes it incomplete. You do have heads, crank, rods and intake. It is not clear if you have a correct date coded FoMoCo distributor. There is no mention of the harmonic balancer, counterweight or timing sprocket to fit thr counterweight so they would seem to not be there. If you truly have a large flywheel and bell housing, they are incorrect for a Hipo Mustang as they use the smaller setup. I put this posting on here to let people on the forum know that you have a car available and they can draw their own conclusions as to whether the car is appropriate for their needs. This was in no way meant to cast aspersions on your car.

Here is a 65 K fastback body with new complete floor pan, cowl and many other replacement parts. It has most of the parts to complete the car including some Hipo engine parts but the drivetrain is mostly not Hipo. It is listed on Ebay with seller MUSTANG5590_1 at $15,500 or best offer:
