  • Restoration Service - Roy Honsaker - Cincinnati, O

    Not fiberglass. It is an aluminum filler and it is very minimal. I would much rather have the panels fit perfect like this than what is suppose to be correct. It is ugy to see a "concours" car with bad panel alignment. Yes the control arms were cast blasted and taped back to paint black. This is going to be a driven car, so feel free to take the points off my judge sheet . Yes I also know about the drips, but once again I didn't want them. Roy definately knows about all of this and he has done the drips and correct finishes on the control arms but I wasn't interested in going to that level. I know he did the same panel alignment to the 1965 Shelby GT350 and it won Gold at SAAC Thoroughbred class. I don't think they take points off for the panels lining up too nicely

  • Restoration Service - Roy Honsaker - Cincinnati, O

    I wanted to promote my friend Roy Honsaker. He has recently went into business for himself restoring vintage cars. He has 20 + years experience restoring classic mustangs and previously worked at Paul's Automotive Engineering in Cincinnati, OH. Some cars that he did that are featured in National Magazines:

    He is the best body and paint guy I know. He also does full restorations. The cars look flawless. He specializes in concourse cars. He doesn't just do Mustangs either. He is restoring a 1966 Corvette. His shop is at his house and his work is cheaper than going to a restoration facility. He is currently looking for future cars to work on when he is finished with my 1969 R code and the 1966 Corvette. If someone is looking for professional restoration work that is cheaper than going to the restoration shop - get into contact with me (BrinkerM1@gmail.com or 859-240-1569) and I will forward you to Roy Honsaker.

    Has pictures of engine and underside. The engine seems to have a lot of key parts but can't see the VIN. The body work and floor pan work seems kind of shotty, just my opinion. The car does present itself very nice, though.

  • Love you guys but sold the K and bought R code

    I would like to say that this forum is awesome. I have learned more from this group of Mustang fans than any other forum out there. You have extended my knowledge and made me appreciate these cars more. I hate to say it but my 1967 K code coupe is gone and I just bought a 1969 Mach 1 R code this weekend. Later down the road when this car is complete I'll be looking for another K but until then, it was great. To everyone in this forum that owns a classic Mustang or is looking to get a classic Mustang; keep collecting. This is the greatest hobby in the world and wouldn't trade it for anything. Thank you again Mark. You will find me on vintage-mustang.com under BrinkerM1

  • 1967 k code tach and speedo

    Yep my 1967 Coupe has a 8k tac and 140 speedometer. It is also a Dearborn car. It was also built very late in 1967, that might have something to do with it. I found out alot of interesting things about the car recently. The seats in the car seem to be original to the car and they are 1968 seats. Also the rear view mirror and the side mirror are 1968 and they seem original to the car. Ford did a lot of weird things so you never know.

  • Barrett Jackson 65 GT K Kode Convertible

    That buyer fee in crazy. The seller fee is 8% He could have sold that car prior to auction for 62k minus 8% for sure. Pretty car with very nice color combo. Seemed pretty correct too. Not going to win a gold concourse but a very nice car. But that is with just with seeing pictures. Cars always turn out to be different when you see them in person. But bringing 62k at Barrett, I would say it's worth it taking all fees out of it. Don't forget you have to pay Arizona Tax too. That's bull because here in kentucky all classic cars with antique plates are valued at $100. Pay tax on that and it's $6. Compared to 6% on $62,000 and then 10% buyer fee. That's way too much.

  • 5R07K240934 NIR

    This is an absolutely stunning K-Code High Performance GT Coupe. K-Code High Performance Mustangs are generally believed to represent only ¾% of 1965 productions. This would equate to only 5,107 K-Code Mustangs produced for the 18 month 1964½ - 1965 model year. This production encompassed coupes, fastbacks, and convertibles. If we just consider coupes only, approximately 2,958 K-Code High Performance Coupes were produced. Approximately 300 of those were GTs. Simple math tells us that any K-Code High Performance coupe is a rare and desirable Mustang.


    This Mustang was produced at the San Jose, California plant and delivered to Phoenix, Arizona area. Sometime in its life it found its way to the East Coast where it apparently spent most of its life. The last owner purchased the car as a worn out, partially disassembled project. He recognized its rarity and wanted to restore it back to showroom new condition. When the car was totally disassembled and stripped, considerable rust was found. Wanting all original Ford metal this owner purchased a rust-free California car to use as a donor car for sheet metal. The restoration shop used the best of both cars to create this K-Code GT Coupe. This was far better than replacing a significant amount of sheet metal with Taiwan produced parts. This car is 99% original Ford metal today. Only the radiator support is new. Obviously a great deal of care was taken to preserve a piece of Ford history with genuine Ford metal. It is rare to have a restorer go through this time and trouble today. It should be pointed out that this is a correctly numbered Mustang. The VIN number in the driver’s side fender apron is exactly correct. The door data tag exactly reflects the car as it exists today.


    This was originally a poppy red Mustang with a white vinyl top. It was originally a white standard interior car and professionally upgraded to a white pony interior during restoration. The pony interior is 100% correct.


    The paint and exterior chrome are in show quality condition. New correct styled steel wheels, white wall radial tires, white GT stripes, and the white vinyl top provide this Mustang with elegant curb presence. The white pony interior with correct black appointments is in showroom new condition. A correct 8000 RPM rally pac is a desirable option.


    The 289 K-Code High Performance engine has been very recently professionally rebuilt. The engine compartment is very clean and detailed to show standards. The engine starts easily, sounds strong, and does not smoke. The 4-speed manual transmission functions exactly as it should.


    The trunk area is very clean and thoroughly detailed. The spare tire is mounted on a new styled steel wheel. A correct jack, lug wrench, and plaid trunk mat are in place.


    The underside of this Mustang is completely rust free. Since this Mustang was being restored to be driven the underside was not wire brushed and painted. This fully restored Mustang has absolutely no structural issues.


    This is as pretty a Classic Mustang as we have seen in some time. The workmanship is superb. This Mustang will make a new owner both excited and proud.

  • 67 K code Fastback to be auctioned

    That is very true. I have been looking for a '67 K code fastback with deluxe interior and a 4-speed ever since I got into cars. I haven't even found one, much less found one I can afford. I am about to give up and get a S code with deluxe interior. Those aren't easy to find either. My heart is with the K code's, though. If the S code was a better engine, Shelby would have put them in the GT 350's but he stuck with the K code because it is a great racing engine.
