Ford better be prepared to get their ass kicked by the Camaro and Challenger if this is all they are bringing to the table.

66gtk · Factory GT with a 3 speed 66gtk November 13, 2008 at 12:01 PM

Yea, I have an original window sticker for one, and I thought it was a bit strange to be ordered that way.

66gtk · Factory GT with a 3 speed 66gtk November 12, 2008 at 11:04 PM

Anybody here think there were any factory GTs with 3 speeds in 1965? Anybody ever seen one? Non-K code, of course...

You bet! The shot of my gals with the car is on the inside front cover with a statement about the car and photography. Now if I could get them to start giving me free parts.....

66gtk · winter is here - boo 66gtk October 26, 2008 at 8:39 AM

Well, the forecast today had snow, strong winds, and coooold!

So, last night I took out the K (it was still a balmy 50 degrees) for one last romp, fill up the tires with air, for it's long winter nap. On the way home, she was begging me to open her up a little, so I did. The on-ramp is always a nice place for a little fun, so down the hammer, through the gears, and before I was fully on the HWY, I was doing close to 80, and she felt like she was only getting started! Oh boy, is a K code fun!

66gtk · Woohoo, original block 66gtk October 24, 2008 at 9:57 PM

congrats - good luck with the resto. We all know it's going to be killer!

Take lots of pics, including undercarriage, and detailed engine bay and we can get a better handle on what you are looking at. What's the asking price?

66gtk · market price for a nice unrestored 6R08K 66gtk October 23, 2008 at 3:22 PM

Although the drivetrain is original (+), the car you are describing should not be represented as "unrestored", by any means. It has had much replaced and apparently lost along the way. A correct "fan" will run you about $1000, and a correct "carb" would be even more. I would also want documented PROOF of original mileage and history of ownership.

Sounds like a great car, and an awesome one to pursue. It sounds a lot like my car as far as value. Red helps a little, but not as much as you may think. Not everybody wants a red car, especially with a red interior.

Quote from 21.04

Gents, you are a great crowd to mingle with and appreciate your input. The consensus seems to give market $40-$50K on a car like this, and with your knowledgeable collaberation I'll take this at better than par with me to the negotiating table. What color is your car 66gtk?

I don't think you can call this a "consensus", since we still no very little about the car in question. Missing parts can cost thousands....My car is Ivy Green Metallic.

No Thanks - interesting idea. I suppose no way to use the trunk with the roof on?

I also have a '66 factory GT, Pony Interior K code 'vert. Mine also has original sheet metal, and 1 re-paint. Multiple 1st place show winner this last year, and drives like new. It's a driver, with typical front valence paint chips, and light pitting and such in various interior places. Most people at shows don't have a clue what it is, and those that do can't stop drooling over it. I don't plan on selling it ever, but the thought of having to replace it someday in case of loss scares the hell out of me. I don't think I could find another. It seems the available cars are usually projects, incorrect examples, or over-restored.

I figure it's worth about 40-50K, and mine is already done (good enough for me, since I actually like to drive it). Rob, am I close to the correct retail value on this? I'd post more pics, but I think you have all seen my car before, and you will soon get a chance to see it in print in your mailboxes (can't reveal any more secrets here...)

What bodystyle is it? If it's been repainted, it's not original/unrestored.

66gtk · VA Mustang/Scott Drake Wheels?? 66gtk October 9, 2008 at 9:12 AM

VA sells the better ones out there - Scott Drake. Don't shop SS wheels on price as there are several manufacturers. Make sure you take your wheels to a very reputable shop that knows how to balance them correctly. They are lug centeric, not hub centric. These wheels are truly difficult to balance, and may even be out of round when purchased new, so stay away from the cheapos. Same holds true for the center caps, which can easily break off. Also, don't let any shop put an impact wrench on these wheels unless you like chipped off paint.
