Greg,two of the original owners of Glenwood Acres were Pete & Phil Crone, i have no idea where they are now but they may have some history of the car to share, buy the way i have two K codes also. regards Chuck, jjz109@msn.com

Hello Greg , I was looking at the picture of your K coupe race car and it brought back a few memories, in the erly 70s i worked at Glenwood Acres and Kissing Bridge ski areas in Glenwood NY , and recall hearing stories of a race car that was owned by Glenwood Acres, and seeing a few old parts (valve covers and such) laying around one of the garages there, but never saw the car . i went for a ride over there last week for old time sake to see the slopes , i sent you a pm , regards, chuck

Hello Tom,I live near buffalo NY my 64.5 k coupe has a June 8th build date if the opertunity presents itself i would like to compare the two cars, regards. chuck.

I have a k code crank i am thinking of selling that measures 2.240 on the mains and 2.114 on rod journells,if my measurments are correct the mains and rods have been machined 0.010 im looking for input/ comments on the limit members here think what a safe limit is to machine a k code crank , thanks, chuck.

Thanks for all the input, bought two NOS shrouds on e-bay in unopened ford boxes they both look great to me , i will now need to install the rubber piece, Chuck.

Please be aware of though that the Ford replacement

use the part number but it looks completely different from

the originals.

Is C3DZ-8146-D the correct part number for a 65 K code fan shroud ,

Complete 289 c code engine, casting date is 5K26, was running when removed from car $500.00 contact jjz109@msn.com Chuck.

Is there anything different between a 64.5 and 65 mustang rear valance without back up lights , where is the date code if any located on the valance, thanks in advance, chuck,

Two C5ZZ-5230-U NOS dual exhaust mufflers in original boxes,from what i understand these were part of a ford kit to convert from single to dual exhaust on 65-66 mustangs . $200.00 for the pair shipping included to the lower 48 states, or trade for 64.5-66 parts, contact jjz109@msn.com chuck.

I have two later ford service replacement K code cams, both have K 104 casting number with pink and orange paint markings

Chuck, The indexing tab for the rear pipes is in a 90 degree different position on the side on 64 1/2 style H pipes

rather than on the bottom like the later H pipes.

Try some Evapo-rust, which can be bought at places like Harbor Freight or ordered online. You'll have to soak rags in it and wrap the pipes, followed by a wrapping of plastic so they won't dry. This will remove most of the rust.

Otherwise, you might try steel wool and polish, depending on how rusty they are.

I just acquired an nos K H pipe for my 65 Kar , what is an effective product other than media blasting and paint to remove rust and bring it back close to the original bare metal finish , also looking for an H pipe for my 64.5 K coupe is there anything unique to a 64.5 H pipe vs 65-66 H pipe , thanks in advance, chuck.

There were 2 standard options that could be deleted on a 65 Mustang.The heater and the seat belts.One of my cars is a factory seat belt delete car.

Were seat belts an option in 64.5 dearborn mustangs

Thank you Charles,

Would a 64 june built mustang have clear or amber color front turn signal lenses, chuck.

Fred thanks for the education its always fun attending one of your mustang K code classes , i now have two of the mufflers in question , regards Chuck.
