  • 1965 Original Steel Styled Wheels Colour

    There was a change over in color of the painted areas around Feb 65. What are the date codes on your wheels and what is the scheduled build date of the car that you plan to use them on? Early wheels are Argent Silver and later wheels are darker gray. NPD or similar should carry the proper paints if you can order from the US.

    This 1965 Ford Mustang is a K-code coupe built at Ford’s San Jose, California, facility in March 1965 and is said to have spent time in California and Ohio before being acquired by the seller in 2018. A refurbishment performed during prior ownership reportedly includes a repaint in the factory Ivy Green as well as a rebuild of the powertrain. Power comes from a numbers-matching 289ci V8 equipped with a hi-rise aluminum intake manifold and Holley carburetor and paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a dual exhaust system, reproduction Rally-Pac gauges, and 14″ styled steel wheels with dual-redline tires. Recent maintenance included replacement of the rear main seal and a valve adjustment. This K-code Mustang is now offered at no reserve with service records from current ownership and transferable New York registration in the seller’s name.

    This nice K Coupe SOLD FOR $34,250 ON 11/24/20.

    I was watching on TV when this one went live so that is when I noted the sales price. I also thought that maybe I was not logged in.

    The auction was online until it was time to cross the block and then it converted to the normal in person bidding along with phone and internet bids. The online pre-bidding was mostly token bid amounts. The Ken Miles 65 GT350 was at $650K in online bidding and finally sold for $3.5MM.

    There were a couple of more Ks that sold but I could not find their VINs.

    Sold for $38500.

    This rare non-GT K-Code Mustang coupe is a sterling example of the iconic pony car from the very first year of production. Just two months after the exciting new Mustang’s initial debut appearance in April 1964, the Ford factory announced the availability of a higher-powered option, perhaps in anticipation of younger buyers wanting something more muscular than the standard 6-cylinder engine. The K-code 289 High Performance V-8 powertrain option was the factory’s answer to the anticipated demand, and, thanks to a healthy 271 HP, the HiPo V-8 took the Mustang from pony car territory to muscle car chops while also adding in the mandatory 4-speed transmission, 9-inch rear end with 3.89 gears and the Special Handling Package.

    Showing a believed-actual 72,000 miles, this particular high-powered pony boasts a HiPo 289/271 HP V-8 engine and is further equipped with solid lifters, special intake manifold, 4-barrel carburetor and 3.50 conventional rear axle. It also features rear leaf springs for a smooth ride and power brakes for stops to match. The car’s eye-catching exterior appears factory-fresh with a repaint in its correct Code-J Rangoon Red, which matches the original paint that still remains in the car’s door jambs and engine bay. Retaining most of its original red standard vinyl interior and the original bucket seats and center console, this Mustang’s no-nonsense interior is rounded out most notably by the welcome addition of an upgraded radio. Rally Pac-equipped and riding on 14x5-inch standard wheels on dual-band redline bias-ply tires, this attention-getting coupe will be offered with the original window sticker and original door tag, both of which document its status as one highly collectible example of America’s longest continually produced sports car.

  • Used Air Cleaner

    Since this one is painted in what appears to be original ford blue, do you think it was originally for a '66? I have never been able to make sense out of the stamp on these.

    The gold 65 versions don't seem to have a stamp. I always see 5A, 6A, 6C and 7A on the 66 and 67 versions.

  • Do you want your old Account back?

    Thanks for trying. My old posts would have been from around 2000 to 2005. I had a website with a Black 65 GT Koupe at the time that was linked on the main site page. I was gone for a few years and think that account got deleted. Sold a lot of parts on that old site that I wish I had back.........
