Thank you sir. That is good to know.

Just snapped my drivers side axle in half...oops <img src=images/icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>(One helluva 2-3 shift)So, I am looking for a set or just the drivers side axle.

My Ford parts interchange manual says the description is as follows:

Part number9s) C5OZ4234B (right), C2OZ4235A (left)

Length(s): 30-1/8 (right), 26-5/64 (left, 28 splines)

Usage: 1962-65 Fairlane 1965-66 Mustang with 9in ring gear axle

Will and 8in axle work? The description is the same except for saying it is for a 8 in. I am guessing that the axles I have are for an 8in, that may explain why they broke.

Hey Paul, looks like your car and mine might have been born pretty close together! Mine was built on June 9th of 64, unfortunately I don't think I can help you with your question because I have the same question.

Nice looking coupe - the colour looks like a Twilight Turquoise early 65 coupe I had a few years back - Paint code 5?

All the best & good luck.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Mick, it is code F. Guardsman Blue.

No problem man. You snooze, you loose as they say. I'll just have to keep looking.

Thanks anyway,

Steve

It is a 4BBL intake - same one was used on all 4BBL cars including the HiPo.

It is the earlier C4 casting with small temp sending unit hole - correct for a 64 1/2.

Originally came from a '64 Fairlane.

It is in a box in the basement & I'm not in a hurry to sell.

I'd rather sell it to a good home than eBay. Shipping will be the big issue - probably $40-$50.

Let me know whne you can afford it and I'll make you a deal on it since I have no use for it.

I have an early '64 (Jan) 4bbl intake if you are interested.

<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana" size=2 id=quote>I is it a hi-po intake? I may be interested if it is, however money is a little tight right now...<img src=images/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thank you all for your replies.

Now for the six million dollar question....does anyone have the timing cover, Valve covers or intake manifold, and the tube? hehehe I know thats a funny one.

Hello everyone! Good to be here.

I am a 33 year old die hard Ford boy and collector. I have a 68 Mercury Cyclone Fastback 428 4 speed, a 69 Mercury Cyclone fastback 390 auto a 1978 F-150 4x4 400 4 speed and a 64 1/2 Guardsman Blue K coupe.

My K history:

When the car was new, it was driven (owned?) by a local Ford dealers son. When the 65 fastback came out, it was sold to my fathers best friend because he liked the fastbacks better. My fathers friend drag raced the car until 67.(My dad has 12 second timeslips that have notes handwritten on them that say "Launch 6000 Shift 9800"..man she was a bad ass)

My father purchased the car in 67 in pieces, literally a bushel basket car. He reassebled the car to relatively stock specs minus the motor (put a plain 289 in) he drove it every once in a while, and let it sit for 8 years. The car sat in our driveway for as long as I could remember. As a small child I can remember bugging my dad to tell me stories about the hi-po and it's drag and street racing career. I fell in love with it at a very young age. I can remember going outside after a snow and cleaning the snow off of it because I hated seeing it like that.

After it sat for eight years I finally bugged my dad enough to get it running and road worthy again. It was loud and nasty sounding when we got it going. I was about 10 or so when my dad taught me how to do brakes, tune ups, clutches, etc on it. He even showed me how to speed shift when we got it running. I will never forget it.

In the late 80's my dad finally rebuilt the origional hi-po motor of course I was right there too. It had 2 rods that went through the block and a smashed head. It was resleeved and the heads were welded.

I always told my dad that whenever he wanted to sell it, I wanted it. I told him that I don't care what it takes for me to own it, I will do whatever it takes.

About 3 years ago I recieved a phone call out of the blue from him saying that he wanted to sell it. It was the day I waited for for the first 30 years of my life.

Unfortunately I didn't have the money at the time, so I sold my 70 Torino GT. When I went to my dads house to give him the money and get the title, I got a little emotional on my ride home, it was finally mine!

I have a six year old son that loves to ride in the hi po with me. He is my little car show buddy. He has already asked me if it will be his car someday. I think the third generation is hooked. He's a hi po boy through and through.

I have been asked if it was for sale a few times. My answer is no. Then there was the guy who said "everything is for sale" I told him, Ok, $100,000. He said no way! Your crazy! I said, OK then I'll just have to keep it. [Blocked Image: http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/8152/dsc00066cm3.jpg][/url]

My 64 1/2 K Coupe. Semi restored from drag race duty.(Still have a lot of work to do.)

I am hoping someone can answer my question.

I have a Guardsman Blue 64 1/2 K code Mustang coupe that I bought from my father 3 years ago. He owned it since 67, but was with the car since new.

My question is did 64 1/2's have a road draft system or a PCV? I had a 64 260 Falcon with the road draft system so it got me to wondering. My father said that my car always had a PCV system since day one. The car was drag raced from new to 67 and changing that sort of thing over would seem to me like a insignificant event that most people would not put into their permanent memory banks. This car was pretty heavily modified mechanically and was origionally owned by a friend of his. To me it is feasable that his friend changed it over without my fathers knowlege.

What do you guys think (or know)? I personally have never seen another 64 1/2 K code in my life, so I have nothing to compare it too.

Thanks,

Steve
