  • 6R09K137198 on Ebay

    I am a little less forgiving of all these clones, whether SS Chevelles or Shelbys. Don't understand the psychology behind them. You hear the horror stories of buyers being hoodwinked by "tributes". Been doing this for 40 years, and back in the day , clones were rare and frowned upon. Just be proud of your ride. I respect an honest A-code fastback over some guy slapping all the Shelby crap on so his car rolls up to the American Legion car show to all the oohs and ahhs. You are a poseur, fake as your car. I worked hard to afford a real GT500 and just don't understand it. Talk to anyone who got scammed on their SS Camaro, and how they feel about clones.

  • Raven Black 65 K-Code Fasty

    JJust picked up a 1965 Raven Black Fastback from an estate sale. I was originally hunting for a 406 Galaxie, but the seller mentioned his dad had an old fastback, and it turned out to be an absolute peach of a car that I grabbed in a package deal.

    She’s an original DSO 71 California car, which explains why the sheet metal is so clean. She features some great period Shelby mods (Cobra intake, oil pan, and valve covers), along with correct K-code engine parts and the proper AX steering box. As you'd expect for a car built to be driven, the normal 'gone years ago' factory parts like the button-top fuel pump and the original Autolite are long gone. Instead, she’s currently running a 600 double pumper assembled by the legend Drew over at Air Fuel Spark, absolutely the man for Ford Holleys.

    I haven’t been able to locate a VIN stamp on the block, so I’m treating it as a service replacement block. Just to set expectations, she’s a phenomenal, well-sorted driver rather than a pristine concours showpiece, so I’m not looking to get too deep into the weeds with VIN matching or factory date codes.

    What makes this car incredibly unique—and likely a 1-of-1,is that she is a June '65 build equipped with the AM/FM slidebar radio, right when Ford first started offering them.

    I am pricing her at a very fair $80,000 for an incredibly desirable, well-sorted fastback. I'm looking for a smooth, straightforward transaction with a serious buyer, so let's keep the discussion productive and skip the usual envy-driven online commentary.

    If you're looking for a clean, incredibly rare fastback with a great story, let me know if you’d like to talk details or see some photos.

  • K Code 65 or 66 Fastback wanted to buy

    I saw your ad looking for a K-code and wanted to reach out. I actually just picked up a 1965 Raven Black Fastback from an estate sale.

  • My unicorn 66

    Extrapolating the production numbers from 66 I think I just got the single rarest combo that was availability(sans some COPO special order nonsense). 1966 Emberglo, GT, K code, Green dot automatic. She maybe the last of her kind as working the math there were only 15-30 produced with these options. That would put it up there with the 68 lightweight Cobra Jets and the 64.5 pace cars. She wears all her own metal and went through a resto in the 90s. She is perfectly imperfect and I love her. My rare girl. My other Mustang is a 68 GT500 Shelby and I love this car more.
