  • WANTED: Black 65 Kick panels - Fastback

    Sorry guys, I completely missed that. I'm either getting too old, too tired, or both. I guess this post and the response threw me off.

    <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Was that email meant for me (regard kickpanels) if so I havent received an email <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana" size=2 id=quote>


    Just trying to tighten up on some of the activities lately and jumped the gun on this one.

Twenty posts here, and one post elsewhere won’t cut it. If you join the forum only to post items for sale, expect your post to be immediately removed and a warning sent to you via PM or e-mail from a moderator or administrator. Continued failure to comply with these guidelines could result in the loss of posting privileges.


    Posting here simply to link to a post on another site or to an open auction is not allowed. If you're going to use our bandwidth, then please post the item, along with all details here.


    Do not post any "Bumps", "BTT" or other posts that serve no purpose other than to have your item flagged NEW. All it does is clutter the board, slow down the database, and waste bandwidth. If someone is interested, they will find your part.


    Other rules:

    • All ads should be placed in ONE appropriate forum.
    • All items MUST be priced! If not sure what something is worth, go high and state best offer. Most folks here keep current with prices and are not likely to be too far off on an offer.
    • Don't comment if you think someone is asking an insane amount. If you don't like the price, don't buy it. Sellers will realize their price is out of line when they don't receive any offers.
    • Don't sabotage someone's ad. It's okay to ask for clarification, point out errors, provide constructive feedback.
    • You MUST have current contact information to sell on the eKschange. If your contact info is invalid, your posting privileges will be suspended.
    • Once your item is sold, <b><font color=red>DO NOT delete/edit the original title, ad text, or asking price</font id=red></b>. Leaving the ad in place after a sale is protection for both the buyer and seller, and also acts as a price reference for others. Edit the title and text of the ad or post a reply to mark it "SOLD".

    Disregarding any of these rules may result in the suspension of your account.


    Lastly, all buyers/sellers acknowledge the eKschange has no liability whatsoever for any transaction, does not provide legal advice, and does not get involved in dispute resolution.


    Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

  • K codes by the numbers

    To the best of our knowledge, these numbers are correct and DO NOT include Shelbys.


    Total HiPo Mustang production by year:


    '64.5/65 - 7,273

    '66 - 5,469

    '67 - 489 (472*)


    That's 13,231 out of nearly 1.7 million Mustangs produced through the '67 model year.


    *Per Marti stats, total 67 production total is actually 489, not the previously reported 472.


    I also read in a Mustang book (I haven't been able to find it since) that there were approx 23,000 289 HiPo engines built between 63 and 67. It didn't state if that was vehicle production totals with this engine or the total number ever produced at the engine plant.

  • K rebody??

    VIN manipulation would be changing the C in a VIN to a K and is not the same and merging two cars and using the VIN of the more desirable/valuable car. Creating a VIN that never existed before is most certainly illegal but taking a legitimate VIN and placing on a donor body is not always so clear cut. The legality of doing so probably varies by state and whether or not the rebody is disclosed. When inquiring to a state about the legality, make sure they understand the difference of what was done.


    A previous discussion on this topic prompted me to inquire to a neighbor who's a Texas state trooper about it. After doing some research, he said altering a car’s VIN is illegal but replacing a VIN is not. He stated salvage companies and body shops do this all time because so many late-model cars have VIN-stamped parts. He said there’s a paperwork trail involved when using used VIN stamped parts during repairs and he also stated if a certain percentage of VIN stamped parts are changed, the title status SHOULD change to salvage. He said these guidelines only apply VIN stamped parts and licensed shops.


    He said since older cars don’t have VIN stamps on the major parts, there’s no prohibition about using used parts (including the majority of the body) to rebuild another car and no restriction saying that a greater percentage of a car dictates which VIN should be used.


    He said his opinion was that if a car were to be rebodied, a salvage title would probably be the most appropriate to ensure the extent of the repairs are disclosed but the laws did not clearly address this.

  • Web Hosting Provider problems?

    My apologies to all. Hopefully the new host will meet our needs. The previous host kept promising to resolve the issues and I was hoping a transfer wouldn't be necessary.


    We’ve been collecting images for over 4 years and have amassed quite the collection. There is over 4000 images, over 4700 files total, and 630+MB. I was up till 1am last night and started again this morning.


    It took about 8 hrs total to get it to where we are now and I'm not sure I'm done yet. I'm not looking for sympathy or an attaboy. I just wanted everyone to understand why I was reluctant to swap hosts knowing the amount of effort it would take to upload all those images.

    Thanks for the input guys. I'll give both Hagerty and Grundy a call tomorrow.<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>

    <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana" size=2 id=quote>I contacted them but they won't do comprehensive only if the car isn't expected to be back on the road in less than 6 months.

  • collector car insurance

    Any recommendations for collector car insurance that allows just comprehensive while the cars are in storage and undrivable? I recently change insurers for my daily cars and the new company won’t insure the mustangs unless they are registered and drivable.
