Below is another link I found with a Pic of some of the Stangs

I was in that part of Alabama about 2 years ago. There were vintage cars everywhere. Some of the dealers (along 431) had as many as 2 dozen on their lots. Some were really nice, but most were project cars and definately Southern cars. The guys I talked to when I was there didn't sell on Ebay, but Moulton can't be too big of a place. So it might be the same guy. Wonder what his Feedback rating was.

Guntersville Lake is also close and a nice place to stay. See the link below for info on the Lodge and Cabins.

FYI if anyone is interested. Just saw this on Craigslist. He has one K code Fastback in the collection. Also other Mustang Fastbacks and Convertibles. I've see a lot of Northern cars in my days (grew up in PA) and 350+ Antique cars in Alabama is a great find.
Just check with your state first re titles as Alabama only requires a Bill of Sale for these old cars.
I've seen a lot of great deals coming out of Alabama. Don't know if it is because there are a lot of these old cars, or people need the cash or what.
Moulton Alabama is in the sticks, but not to far from Huntsville or Birmingham (in case you want to make a weekend of the trip). I don't know anything about the Seller, but his phone number is listed in the Carigslist ad.

is there a good link that describes the various transmissions?
Iowa, you might want to look at David Kee's website.

Thanks, I had no idea what it would bring. I'm glad someone could use it and I came through it with my honesty and integrity intact<img src=images/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
Great point on the core wires. Another good bit of information to know for future reference. Especially the part about it being hard to see on a used block.
-
I didn't catch that when I looked at the Pics. The "tear out" is all on the same side of the bolt holes. Just for reference, the Pics were all taken from the front of the block.

I think the lack of the assembly date caused some confusion. That is why this Forum is so important. There is a lot of bad information out there.
With that being said, I try to be very honest when I sell something. BUT, I am not an expert and would rather disclose a potential issue than not disclose it. Sometimes I flat out miss something, or just don't know the answer.
The auction is over but learning about these Kars never is. There is a lot of expertise on this forum and I for one am VERY THANKFUL you guys take the time to share your opinions and knowledge. Please keep it up!

So with the factory lines on the deck, I guess we are back to the original conclusion in the thread below. Because it lacks an assembly date, it was not assembled by Ford as a short block, but a straight over the counter purchase of the block?

First I would like to say that I am again impressed with the knoweledgeable people on this forum. Your efforts to help people are truly appreciated.
Unfortunately my auction for the block ends later today so I don't have time to take it to a shop.
However, I pulled out my specs (reading glasses for those old like me!) and saw faint horisontal lines going from the front of the block to the rear. These were evident on both decks. I will try and capture this in a Photo and post.
Again, Thanks!!!
-
Great reference information! But unfortunately I don't have the proper tools to measure this accurately.
You have two measurements listed. Is this a tolerance or does each deck have different measurements?
-
Are you talking about the assembly date? If, so there is no assembly date on the block. Nor would there be an assembly date if just the block was purchased off the shelf. Right?
-
I am 99.9% sure it has never been used, but the decking question I am not sure at all. The guy I bought it from years ago told me it was NOS and I have no reason to doubt him. But he did build race cars, so there is a chance he may have done some machining to the block.
What numbers are you refering to that are absent in my block.
By the way I cancelled all bids on my block, added detail about possible decking and now the bidding starts all over. I like sleeping at night more than money!

Below is a link to my NOS HIPO block which I am selling on Ebay. I got an interesting comment saying the block is not NOS because the pictures show it has been decked. I know a lot of you know a heck of a lot more than me regarding this subject, so I would like your opinions. I surely don't want to misrepresent anything I sell. Thanks, Darrell

Thanks for starting a new thread on this topic as the auction ends this Sunday and this topic may be aroung longer than that.
If anyone wants to copy my photos for reference, please either copy them from my Ebay listing (oldcarnutty) or go to the link below:

These are my photos. I know some of you are working on books for publication. So you have my permission to use them if you want to. But, please send me a copy of your book when it is published! Thanks, Darrell

This block has been discussed on this forum before(see link below).
I think you are right, the 6M28C date must be the date the block was machined.
-
I've taken the reserve off of all my listings on Ebay. High bidder gets them. Thanks for all the interest in my parts.

I've decided to sell the last of my NOS HiPO 289 Engine stuff on Ebay if anyone is interested. The Auctions end 3/21/2010. As I have done in the past, I'll give any eKschange member a 10% discount (on the part - not the shipping). Just send me an email at the end of the auction so I can give you the discount.
See link below for my Ebay items
