Quote from round2KI sure would like to pick up one of these early coupes and use it as a driver. Nice looking car. (No disrespect to you coupe guys.)
No offence taken. I have been driving my new KGT coupe as much as possible. It's been nice to drive a afFordable muscle car. I highly recomend getting one if you want it!!!

I take it you already know about the 428 CJ fourms. If not come over and introduce yourself
http://www.428cobrajet.org/forum/index.php
Lots of good people and info there. I go by 69 scj coupe over there and on the VMF. Good luck with the R code and be sure to put the spark plugs in before you set the motor.
Larry
Good buy and welcome to the fourm.

The question of build date was for 63Kcode?
Scheduled build date of the car, May 3 1963.

Quote from BiffF15Is the sequence number a specific length or type like on the Mustang blocks?
Here is mine. They started a 1 and went up. Mine is the 920th hipo made.

Since I had, what I hope is the original, and my newly purchesed repop side by side. I thought I would post a picture of the two. The top one is the one that came with my 66 KGT coupe. The bottom one is the one that has been sold twice on this post and will soon find its way into my 65 A code 2+2.

At $195 I am very happy with the repop, but I would not be happy if I paid the $479 that suppliers are asking. The Tach wasen't centered in the housing. After taking it apart to center it, I was very supprised at how cheaply it was made. If you are looking for one for an original K Kar, take the time to find a original.

I could use a C3 too. Not picky on the date.
Larry
Just a small amount , but enough to be anoying.
Larry
Well I fixed the brakes and have had a few chances to drive the car. It's a blast to drive but the choke keeps trying to close on me. After about 2 miles I have to push the knob back in. What is the best fix for this. Thanks for any help.

Quote from SixT5HiPoI'd want to start with an alternator car that can be driven anyday!
So what days can I not drive with a generator. I've never had a problem with the generator on my 63.
Larry
I would be interested in the seat belts too!
Please send photos to larryvigus@yahoo.com
Is it ok to call on Monday
Larry
On a K kar I would go back the original color, if you can live with it. If you can't live with the yellow then paint it what ever makes you happy. I would be very happy with a yellow K fastback myself.
Larry
You missed it. I should be installing it soon. Thanks guys!

No mention of the special crank prep.

I was hoping to wait until a better carpet kit becomes available.

Can't blame you on this one. If better carpet ever becomes available, I'll be replacing mine.
If they come out with carpet that fits I would replace all three of mine.
Do hipo cars get thicker dampers .

Early 60s Fords had white head liners in some, no matter what color the interior was. I have never seen a mustang that way though.
Larry
where are you getting the third menber?
When the PO bought the car it had 3.00 gears in it. He bought a rebuilt third member for the car with 3.50 gears. Turns out he gave the guy who had the rally pack the old 3.00 chunk. I asked him to check the part nuber on it and it is a C5#. He didn't think to check the date code. The old chunk is on it's way to me the first chance the PO gets to pick it up. Be expecting me to ask some date code questions soon. As a added bonus, when the PO bought the car it had a set of style steel wheels on it. After he put the Magnums on it, He told me a guy saw the SS wheels in his garage and offered him $300 for them. I assumed he sold them. The guy never came back to get them. So I get 5 used SS wheels to Boot. I just keeps getting better and better.
Larry
I only have one A code Fastback to trade in, but if your open to taking a R code or K code Mustang coupe. Or a very nice original 63 K code fairlane we might have some room to talk.
Larry
