    1965 K Code Hipo Fastback. The real thing and an investment grade car. The San Jose built fastback was restored from a virtually rust free Texas body and chemically dipped. Only one small section of a floor pan had to be replaced. It was an extremely sound body.


    The body work on the car is a work of art that took 15 months to complete and is arrow straight. The restoration was done by an MCA Gold Card judge and to original specifications with the exception of the side exit exhaust exhaust system and Tri “Y” headers as used on the 1965 Shelbys. It provides a great sound that fits the muscle car image of the car. There is a set of Hipo exhaust manifolds that go with it.


    The drive train is all original Hipo and although not original to the car, the engine and transmission are from the same donor car with matching VINs. The engine is freshly rebuilt to .030 over. The Hipo heads are matching date codes. The harmonic balancer is date matched and original Hipo and the alternator has been restored to Hipo specifications with the large pulley and Autolite stamp. The radiator is original to the car and has the San Jose markings including the date of 10-64 embossed in the top of the tank. The toploader four speed transmission is also freshly rebuilt. The Ford 9” rear end is a factory unit with 3:50 gear. Limited slip was added during the rebuild. The solid lifters sound like a symphony.


    The car is, and has always been equipped with front disc brakes. I have owned the car for 5 years and the former owner out of Austin, Texas had the car for 17 years. The white interior is the original color and the seat belts have been correctly restored by Ssnake Oyl with date coded labels. The carb was rebuilt by Pony Carburetors. The car runs and drives as well as it looks. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive it to the east or west coast. The undercarriage has been detailed and is great condition. It has new dual redline radial tires and styled steel wheels. No warranties are expressed or implied.

    I agree with Fred's comment regarding "amazing additions to the story". The previous seller made no mention of the racing history or documentation. In my opinion, the documentation pertaining to this kar is highly suspect.

    Listing Info: 65 K FB Starting Bid: $25k


    For sale is my 1965 k-code mustang. I've had this car since 1979. This car is the real deal. It is not cherry, but the pieces and the #'s are here. This car still has original dash, head liner[needs repaired], seats and even buck tag on fender.

    MOTOR

    This is the original motor that was recently freshened-up do to sitting for an extended amount of time. Everything is correct on motor except tri-y headers. I do have the stock cast iron hi-pro manifolds.

    TRANSMISSION

    The car presently has a close ratio toploader with Hurst shifter. The original trans has been rebuilt with the shifter mounted. It is ready to be installed. Only thing needed is shifter handle, I could not find it.

    REAR


    Axle housing is original. Currently has a nodular case center section with 4:11 gears and 31 spline axles. I do have original center section with 3:50 gears and 28 spline axles.

    EXTERIOR

    Paint is white, not factory color, but still shines nicely after being on since 1983. Would not hurt to be repainted. Wheels are 16" Centerlines, which help it to look a little more current.


    INTERIOR

    Most wiring has been replaced, except under dash. I also could not find the radio. Head liner is original, but needs re-stitched. Still the original dash and is not cracked. Seats are original and in descent shape.


    REASON FOR SELLING

    This is my first car. I got it when I was only 15 years old in 1979. I absolutely love early mustangs. The thing is, I really want a pro street car and do not want to mess up a nice #'s matching car.
