I've had a 1965 Hipo Fastback for the past 10 years and I will be putting it up for sale. I wanted to let my fellow Hipo enthusiasts know about it first. I really don't want to put it on ebay because I'm afraid it would end up with someone who wouldn't know or care about the Hipo significance. The car is a non-GT 65 Fastback with standard interior. The car is in the Hipo registry. The color code is (R) Ivy Gold with (28) Ivy Gold Trim. Build date is November 23 out of Dearborn. The car has its original 9-inch rear and its original 4-speed manual transmission. The original engine is gone, but I have an early 66 complete Hipo engine ready to go. The engine has been disassembled for inspection and did not need boring. I had a cam kit from Marv installed. Picture of the engine is included. Engine is missing the Fan, engine mounts and exhaust manifolds but I have a non-original 1.12 clone carb which was just professionally rebuilt to Hipo specs.

The car is a project but has solid floors. The car's biggest issue is the rear frame rails, taillight panel and rear crossmember under the taillight panel. I am firm at $15,000 for the car and engine which I would rather sell together. Email Mark at jershmust@aol.com

To verify Don's reference to the value of the housings, I can tell you that I sold a 65 Hi-Po housing on ebay a few years ago for about $2100. Perhaps this is the one he is referring to. At the time, there was some discussion about it on the site.

If anyone has oddball or single pieces of Hipo Motor Mounts, please contact me. If you have just one piece or just a right hand or just a left hand let me know.

Thank you

I purchased a cam and lifter kit from Merv about two months ago and was very pleased with the service and product.

Thanks guys for all of the input. I appreciate it.

Just wondering what everyone's opinion on this would be. I am getting my HiPo heads rebuilt and the rebuilder wants to put the hardened valve seats in for unleaded fuel. I tend to agree but I wonder if we would be hurting the value or originality in any way? Let me know. Thanks.

Marv,

Please let me know about Camshaft and Lifter prices and availability.

Thanks,

Mark

Does anybody have a pair of 65-66 V8 spindles that they can spare? Let me know. email jershmust@aol.com Thanks.

Marv, My mechanic just just tore down my 65 K Engine that I found last year and he says it's in good shape. He would like to replace the Cam, Lifters, Oil Pump and Timing Chain before he puts it back together. You had some cams, didn't you? I'd appreciate your advice on all the mentioned parts.
