  • F-15 lands missing a key component

    I have my last flight in the F-15 next week. Almost 2800 hours, over 100 sorties over Iraq, from the Middle East to Europe, Iceland, and all over North America she has been a trusty steed. I will miss her. She is truly one of the great ones. 34 years as an operational fighter with 104 victories to ZERO losses in combat. The bar has been set very high.

    NEW ARRIVAL - 1965 MUSTANG K-CODE GT COUPE


    KARmustang.com


    Red GT Coupe near the top.

    Price $33,500


    Description:


    This is an absolutely stunning K-Code High Performance GT Coupe. K-Code High Performance Mustangs are generally believed to represent only ¾% of 1965 productions. This would equate to only 5,107 K-Code Mustangs produced for the 18 month 1964½ - 1965 model year. This production encompassed coupes, fastbacks, and convertibles. If we just consider coupes only, approximately 2,958 K-Code High Performance Coupes were produced. Approximately 300 of those were GTs. Simple math tells us that any K-Code High Performance coupe is a rare and desirable Mustang.


    This Mustang was produced at the San Jose, California plant and delivered to Phoenix, Arizona area. Sometime in its life it found its way to the East Coast where it apparently spent most of its life. The last owner purchased the car as a worn out, partially disassembled project. He recognized its rarity and wanted to restore it back to showroom new condition. When the car was totally disassembled and stripped, considerable rust was found. Wanting all original Ford metal this owner purchased a rust-free California car to use as a donor car for sheet metal. The restoration shop used the best of both cars to create this K-Code GT Coupe. This was far better than replacing a significant amount of sheet metal with Taiwan produced parts. This car is 99% original Ford metal today. Only the radiator support is new. Obviously a great deal of care was taken to preserve a piece of Ford history with genuine Ford metal. It is rare to have a restorer go through this time and trouble today. It should be pointed out that this is a correctly numbered Mustang. The VIN number in the driver’s side fender apron is exactly correct. The door data tag exactly reflects the car as it exists today.


    This was originally a poppy red Mustang with a white vinyl top. It was originally a white standard interior car and professionally upgraded to a white pony interior during restoration. The pony interior is 100% correct.


    The paint and exterior chrome are in show quality condition. New correct styled steel wheels, white wall radial tires, white GT stripes, and the white vinyl top provide this Mustang with elegant curb presence. The white pony interior with correct black appointments is in showroom new condition. A correct 8000 RPM rally pac is a desirable option.


    The 289 K-Code High Performance engine has been very recently professionally rebuilt. The engine compartment is very clean and detailed to show standards. The engine starts easily, sounds strong, and does not smoke. The 4-speed manual transmission functions exactly as it should.


    The trunk area is very clean and thoroughly detailed. The spare tire is mounted on a new styled steel wheel. A correct jack, lug wrench, and plaid trunk mat are in place.


    The underside of this Mustang is completely rust free. Since this Mustang was being restored to be driven the underside was not wire brushed and painted. This fully restored Mustang has absolutely no structural issues.


    This is as pretty a Classic Mustang as we have seen in some time. The workmanship is superb. This Mustang will make a new owner both excited and proud.

    COMING SOON -- K-CODE -- 1966 MUSTANG FASTBACK

    http://www.karmustang.com/classic_car_inventory.php


    Red Fastback near bottom of list.


    Description:


    This is a true California produced fastback with the rare factory automatic transmission. It is an original candyapple red car. This is a rust free, original body panel car in very nice overall condition. The original door data tag is on the car. We checked the engine and found the K-Code heads, intake manifold, dual point distributor, radiator fan, alternator pulley, exhaust manifolds, and harmonic balancer all to be correct and present. The carburetor has been changed to a modern Holley 4-barrel carburetor. The K-Code engine has been recently rebuilt and runs great. A large array of restoration and rebuild receipts totalling over $17,000 go with this Mustang.


    The paint and exterior chrome are in excellent condition. Styled steel wheels are a nice curb appeal factory upgrade.


    The black standard interior is in very nice condition. There are no nicks, cracks, or tears to be found. The interior shows really well.


    The engine compartment is very clean and obviously well maintained. The engine starts easily, responds instantly to throttle pressure, makes no unusual noises, and does not smoke.


    The underside of this fastback is rust free and structurally solid. There are no understructure issues. This is a sound car.


    K-Code Mustangs represented less than 1% of 1965 and 1966 production. This was spread between coupes, convertibles, and fastbacks. It is easy to see that these are very rare Classic Mustangs. Factory red and factory automatic transmission single out this Mustang as one of the most rare and desirable built durng the 1965 and 1966 model years.

  • 64 Fairlane K Engine

    Gents,

    I MIGHT have an engine out of a 64 Fairlane lined up. I'm curious what you folks think it might be worth. It comes with the original generator / bracket, but has an after market oil pan and pump on it. Any pearls of wisdom would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Damon

    Looks like mine except for the red interior. Is this the one that doesn't have a numbers matching engine?
