There was a lengthy discussion about what NOS really means on the vintage-mustang forum a couple months back. Makes for some interesting reading to explain why some service parts are different than the assembly line versions:

This used balancer was SOLD for $405.00 by eBay seller "5kfast".
DESCRIPTION:
You are bidding on a 289 HIPO harmonic balancer used on 289 high performance Mustangs and Shelbys. The part number is C5OE A. The balancer has been sandblasted to show its condition, and is ready for you to finish to your paint specs. The rubber is in very good condition with only minor surface cracks as can be expected with a 40 year old part. I can prime and paint it before shipping if desired.
The only mark on the balancer is a "14" or "I4" near the timing marks but upside down from the timing marks.

Bid up to $810.01, and not sold. Is anyone really surprised?

This counterweight SOLD for only $26.00 by eBay seller "mrdavohe".
DESCRIPTION:
If you are viewing this auction, you probably know what this is. I am not sure if it has been used or not. It is a bit dirty from many years of sitting at the bottom of my tool box.
In case it is not clear in the picture, it is identified on the front with the letter "D" inside of a triangle followed by the word "FRONT".

Here's a used early style air cleaner base and lid along with a set of chrome valve covers that SOLD for $204.17 by eBay seller "pwrtwang".
DESCRIPTION:
Set of Ford original valve covers and air cleaner ... correct for 63 - 65 Falcon Sprint, or any early 271HP 289 HiPo. The valve covers you can get all day ... they are re-popped and many vendors sell them. The air cleaner isn't, and it's real hard to come by ... I almost never even see them on ebay. There ARE air cleaners you can buy from many vendors that are sold as "correct" replacements, but they really don't look at all like the real deal. Most of these air breathers hit the trash over the years only to be replaced by shiney new ones from the local auto parts stores. These are 42 years old so some pitting and rust on all parts ... no dents. Clean and put on a driver, or rechrome for show. Extremely rare air cleaner!

How much are they really worth now, guys?
Based on previous eBay sales we've seen, somewhere between $80 to around $180, depending on whether it's a complete assembly or just the bracket.

Quote from cyclonesteve
Thank you all for your replies.
Now for the six million dollar question....does anyone have the timing cover, Valve covers or intake manifold, and the tube? hehehe I know thats a funny one.
Everything on your list is easy to find except the tube. I saw an NOS HiPo draft tube at Carlisle a couple years ago. It was the one that bolts to the intake manifold. I don't know if the vendor still has it, but the price was around $125.00 at that time. Standard 260-289 draft tubes are so much easier to find in either style. I've seen several NOS along with nice used ones. It's hard to distinguish the difference between the standard and the HiPo draft tube without putting them side by side, unless you know exactly what the HiPo tube looks like.

Ford "reintroduced" road draft tubes around May of 1964 on all 260 and 289 engines, including the 289 High Performance. These "non emission reduction" engines were used for production cars wherever legal.
Keep in mind that by January, 1964, California started to tighten it's laws regarding smog control on all motor vehicles. This meant that a closed ventilation system was required on all cars manufactured for sale in California. So, in 1964, engines used in Mustangs with a California DSO should have a closed ventilation system with a PVC valve and an air hose conecting the oil breather cap to the air cleaner. Cars with DSO's other than California could use the road draft tubes wherever legal.
There are two distinct styles of road draft tubes used on the Ford small block engines. Some road draft tubes are bolted to a flat, triangular surface on the intake manifold behind the carburetor, which was machined to allow the tube to vent. Others were attached to the passenger side valve cover where the PVC valve would go. As Charles points out, HiPo draft tubes are unique, because of clearance issues with the exhaust manifold. My car was built in February of 1965, with a Philadelphia DSO. It has the valve cover style road draft tube.

This set of used manifolds SOLD for $175.00 by eBay seller "clssic67".
DESCRIPTION:
These manifolds are ORIGINAL, and I am selling them for cheaper than reproduction units that go for $300. My manifolds were pulled from the wrecking yard in the 70's and used on my 1967 Mustang C-code until now. I sandblasted and painted these with high temp flat black to make them look brand new. The date codes are a little hard to read. One of them has the two studs still in it. The other studs were bad and were pulled off with the nuts that wouldnt come off them. These come with the flanges on the end. No hardware included.
Drivers side: C30E-9431-B.
Passenger side: C4ZE-9430-A
Build date codes are as follow(as best as I can read)
DS: A165
PS: L164

I will begin to part out a 1966 K GT Coupe starting next week... I will also be parting out a HiPo engine VIN stamped 5F09K679219. That engine is currently a complete long block that was a strong running engine before being pulled from the car several years ago.
The question is: Can you say what is going to happen to the car(s) that the engine(s) came out of?
-
It's OK with me...your car is almost identical to the HiPo Fairlane I used to have many years ago. Mine had white inserts in the body mouldings, but otherwise was the same color as yours outside and inside. It sure brings back some great memories for me.
