  • Looking f/owner of 5F08K256649 65 Conv 4sp in NJ

    I've been looking for the red '66 GT hi-po with black std that I saw at a local show in 1992. T-bred car and I've kicked myself for not at least writing down the VIN. At least you have that. Have you tried asking if the local police or DMV could search the VIN for you? Some states will release that info..I've done it. Just a thought. Hope you find that car.

  • Wanted: C6ZF-C carb tag

    I'm looking for a nice used C6ZF-C carb tag for a friend of mine. He has an early '66 GT-K, manual trans, with build date 10/1/65. Does anyone have a good spare tag dated around 8/65 or 9/65 you could part with?


    Still in the market if anyone knows of a tag to spare. Thanks gents!

  • K radiators

    Thanks Fred! I found a guy who has a perfect NOS 4 row in a Fomoco Box C6ZZ, was hoping I could use this. You believe this went on another Ford? What I am looking for is a 2 row?

  • K radiators

    Does sanyone know whether the 3 or 4 row radiator was droped into a late '66 K conv? Was there any difference from year to year?

  • market price for a nice unrestored 6R08K

    Yes, we may be describing this car in different terms which could scew our results. I may also be one of your culprits using "unrestored" more casually than should be. So, please straighten me out here: When using "unrestored" correctly are we talking about the car's class...a t-bred? I've often used "unrestored" to describe a car that lacks something significant or needs attention and that has not undergone all necessary repairs (small or large)that are needed for my intended use or class. This often requires some form of improving a car from the wear and tear it now shows that could involve re-paint, appolstry, mecahincal, changing parts, and the detailing.


    Back to the car...It is a very nice piece and frankly would have ordered this exact car if I went back to 1966 and filled out a special order. Not sure what records are avaialble to document the mileage. The owner has talked with the original owner recently and believes he has the bill of sale and window sticker. There again, it's not in hand but would make my day. If the owner did have documentation on mileage and/or a window sticker woudl that enhance value much here? I'm seeing discussion that we are narrowing the market value between $40K-$50, but not much past here.

    I'd like to establish an accurate value out of the discussion, so lets keep it open as 66gtk points out there is not enough info on the car to assess a market value just yet. I wish we could all stand around the car for 5 minutes...that would close this, but unfortunately won't happen. The car has it's original VIN stamped motor, trans, and diff. Original data plate. The car has repro Cobra valve covers, a repro fan blade, and an original Shelby oil pan that have all been put on at some point down the line. All chrome is original and shows some very very minor pitting. No dents, no bondo, and all spots welds are still around every seem I've inspected. 67 styles wheels, red carpet has been placed in the trunk. No chips in paint, no wear in the apolstry. I believe the interior has been reappolstered and a new white top put on the car. Car has a/c, and console which will need to come out. The car has 38K original miles. The engine comp has also been repainted along with the block. Nice, but would need to be cleaned up as the car is occasionally driven(tag is missing on block). Wrong Carb, original correct distributor. I'm sure I've left a few things out but hopefully the additonal info here will move us closer to a conclusion. Does the color scheme of a car have any affect on value?

  • Wanted: '66 NOS fuel pump/fan blade

    I've got an array of NOS parts on my wish list here and hope a few of you have one or more of these you are willing to part with. All for a '66 conv-NOS only please: Fuel pump, carbureator, fan blade, air cleaner and lid, and leaf springs. Non NOS K parts I'm also lookng for: Windshield with visibility, red delux appolstry, red delux door pannels, and red carpet for a conv.

  • market price for a nice unrestored 6R08K

    The car is a convertible. I've attempted to watch a few K convertibles sell on E-Bay, Hemmings, Mustang trader, and the .com recources to establish value trends. As Fred mentions, the hi-po, GT conv, with delux int is rare which I expect to pay more for a car with all the goodies. I would also suspect that a red car would create a bit more interest to buyers than most other colors would. I've seen a few restored K convertibles sell recently for $52-$65K, but I'm not confident a loaded red car like this could be purchased in that range.


    I'm trying to determine market value for a '66 GT hi-po and hope a few of you can venture a price tag. The car is unrestored, but has been re-painted once. Overall an 8 out of 10. The car is a low mileage, 76B, red/red. All virgin sheet metal, original facotry GT, origial door tag. I'm perhaps attempting to acquire this car and want to know how deep my pockets need to be. Thanks for your comments in advance.
