Auction says it has a salvage title.

Auction ended early with reserve not met at $32,600. Must have struck a deal off eBay. That price ran up fast for one day.

Hi,

I'm in a process of buying this car.

Are there any good checklists or books around to check if the parts are correct for this Kar?

Car shows sold now. Might be a good idea to see if a member here could go look at the car with you if you haven't taken delivery yet.

Listed for $44,000 on his website. I assume that is US dollars.

Ok I loosened the fenders and the splash panels and looked at the backsides of both fenders. There is one hole just less than 2" underneath the top pin screw for the running horse emblem on both fenders. There are no other holes nor any evidence that there ever were any. Both fenders have the same hole in the same spot. The earlier stamping date on the right fender would indicate it is not original, but it has the same exact holes as the left. If 1 or both fenders were replaced they certainly appear to have been off of a GT car. Below is a picture of the right fender with a red arrow pointing to the drilled hole. The pic is canted, but the hole is right below the top pin screw.

The original owner traded the car in to a dealer which is where the previous owner bought it in 1976. No chance of tracking him down.

I've read that some build sheets were taped behind the instrument cluster, but I don't see one there. Any other suggestions or am I out of luck on that one?

Thanks again for all the help guys. I realize I might be just spinning my wheels here.

Doc- I checked the frame rails and both sides have the piece inside the hole towards the rear you are asking about. In the picture below you can see it on the drivers side. I thought that any Mustang with dual exhaust would have these reinforcements. Is that incorrect? Or were they only put there if the trumpeted exhaust tips were going on? Thank you for your help. Dan

Well I just did that tonight. Drivers side is 5 16 2 and passengers side is 1 14 3. Car was built in June. So it looks like at least the passenger side is not original correct?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Holes look original to me - factory used a hole drill bit and would leave a lip like this - looks like the 3 or 4 factory GT holes I've seen anyway. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Thanks Ralph. My initial research showed that they were supposed to be punched. The website I read that on has now been updated to say that they were drilled.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Wire is in the correct location in the firewall, but the switch is very low on the dash compared to other cars.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

I took another pic from a different angle. Look better?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Looks like a GT to me, from what I can see. Nice car, you're very lucky to have found it. I've bought several cars from Denver, good place to find nice collector cars and not far from SLC. Thanks for posting the pics, enjoyed them. If you decide to sell it you know who to go to..... ME!!! <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote> Thanks Rick. Do you happen to know Bob Teets in Denver?

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Look for the exhaust supports in the rear framerails. Do you have any original documents? What about the bucktag? These will document the GT option. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Doc- Wouldn't all K cars have the dual exhaust supports? Correct me if I'm wrong. No original documents. I have 2 folders of paperwork and receipts 3" thick from the seller, but nothing from before he bought it. It's a San Jose car so no Buck tag and I didn't see a build sheet behind the instrument cluster.

I took some more pics and checked a few more things out. The tail lights DO come on with the fog lamp switch! We had checked it in the bright sunlight and thought they weren't on. In the garage they light up just fine.

I also found the circuit breaker under the dash mounted to the wiper bracket. It looks like the same breaker and wiring as I found at the website linked above. Here's a pic of mine:

And here's a pic of the bracket mounting the fog lights to the grill.

I am really doing an about face and feel like this is a factory GT kar. What is baffling is the GT fender badges. The seller painted over the original paint and swears that the running horse emblems were there with no MUSTANG letters. This guy was as straight as an arrow and I do believe him. So either the previous owner took the GT badges off and put the ponies on or it left the factory that way. That is of course if the consensus is that it also left the factory as a GT.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I do appreciate it.

Stikbo_old · Hello from Colorado Stikbo_old October 17, 2006 at 7:22 PM

Thanks guys. Yes it has disc brakes. The kar had the GT items on it when the previous owner bought it in 1976 so they would have been added before that. He did have it painted in the late 80's but he didn't know if there were original holes for GT fender badges or the Mustang letters. I do find it a bit strange that someone went so far as to add all the other items, but left off the badges. Maybe they just liked the ponies better.

Here's a pic of the fog light switch location:

And one of the wiring going through the firewall. It's under the multi plug. I don't see a circuit breaker on the wiper motor:

One of the radiator support holes viewed from engine side. It looks drilled to me instead of punched. It would have been drilled from the front towards the rear of the car. Like the support would have had to have been out of the car or at least a good amount of disassembly done?:

And the same hole from the grill side:

I used this site and Vintage Mustangs forum to do some research on GT authenticity prior to looking at it. Purchase was made assuming it isn't one.

Stikbo_old · Alternator Pulley Stikbo_old October 17, 2006 at 6:24 PM

Sorry guys I should have been more clear. My dad dug around in his garage and found a pulley for me (C5AF10A352-H). I just want to pay him the going rate for it so he can buy more parts. [Blocked Image: http://www.bighorntradingcompany.com/images/pulley.jpg]

Stikbo_old · Alternator Pulley Stikbo_old October 17, 2006 at 1:08 PM

The alternator was replaced on my kar by the previous owner so the pulley is gone. What is the going rate for a good condition original pulley? Thanks!

Stikbo_old · Hello from Colorado Stikbo_old October 17, 2006 at 12:11 PM

Hello all- Great site here. I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase a '66 fastback K last month. I wasn't looking for one, but my dad ran across this car and called to tell me about it. I knew if I didn't buy it I would be kicking myself a few years down the road. The PO had it for 30 years and it has not been licensed since '92. Just sitting in a garage waiting for me I guess. <img src=images/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> Needs a carb rebuild and water pump (both leaking) but it fired right up and sounds great.

The PO thought is was a factory GT since he had owned it for so long and he didn't add the GT equipment. I'm pretty certain it is not. No GT fender badges, holes in radiator support do not appear to have been punched, and the tail lights do not come on with the fog lamps. Would like to hear some feedback to confirm my suspicions.

The kar seems pretty original. The alternator is wrong, but my dad has a pulley for me. '65 wheels and a few other things that I know of so far, but I'm pleased. Will be doing alot of reading and research on this great site. Already have the 4th edition book in hand and it's super too. Pics of my kar at the link below. Any comments (good or bad) welcome. Thanks! Dan
