This has been collecting dust. A while back Marv had a bunch of these factory spec Cams ground by I think Crane cams...can't remeber. It is ground to the EXACT factory spec, and is correct for any Hipo 289 K code powered Mustang or Shelby. Never installed, or opened until today.
$250

All of the K code engines I have seen with a VIN stamp are haphazard with zero grinding. I would be HIGHLY suspect of a ground, clean, "Pretty" stamp.

I have had a BendPak since fall of 2005. I use it nearly everyday. Very good lift for the money. I paid $2400 shipped to my door. Easy assembly and works well. It came with casters adn drip pans.
240 volt, and you need air pressure for the safety locks.

Yes, it seems always the case the term "original" and un-restored gets tossed around a lot. And when the details come out...it is obvious that those terms do not describe 99% of the cars.
Mileage...unless you have substantial proof, meaning documents such as original service records...I would not fall for it. It is actually one of my pet peeves in this hobby.
If it were me, shelling out dough...$42,000

Yes, color has an affect. Original Red, and Black cars fetch the most. Freshly painted Ivy green does OK...but not as good as red.
I would have a very hard time offering more than $50,000 for the car.

Sold the car, it is gone. Saves me the trouble of removing the stuff.

Your Ivy Green GT K is in that range. The market changes up and down monthly it seems. So any valuation or range I give, is for the time period in which the statement is made. Right now sellers typically have a higher value in mind than the actual value. NADA guides and such are absolutely worthless IMO. Anyone who quotes a "Certified" appraisal, or Book value...etc...is living in lala land.

Original markings help, but you would be surprised at how long those last. I routinely get cars in that have the markings in place. Sometimes they are covered in light dirt others, there plain as day...like the 69 Shelby GT350 I just sold...original markings, chalk etc. and 72,000 original, DOCUMENTED miles. Documentation including all service and title reccords from day 1. If you want to overpay for a car, feel free, but the market for that car is not north of $50K
-
You think the car would fetch more than the 52-65K Not a chance in this market. The market is not tending upwards.
Unrestored means little unless it is COMPLETLY untouched with original paint.
The market is very specific and any claims are closely scrutinized and easily uncovered. Stories about low mileage and old lady owners hold no water unless backed by a bucketful of legitimate paperwork. Previous owner statements again do not matter. The people writing checks right now, now how to spot a fake 65-66 door tag, they know the spot welds on a mustang etc.
I think a car like you are talking about is $45-55K tops
-
The car will most likely be sold the way it sits. I am not going to pull it unless I get a fair trade plus cash deal.

I have a 67 C code fastback, interesting car.
68 GT500KR doors with original KR factory tag
69 Shelby motor
HEH-T toploader 4 speed trans.
Clutch chatters, so I may pull the trans. Anyone have a reg 67 trans they want to swap, plus cash??

Well, I never got around to wrinkle painting this little gem. So off it goes to a new owner. Currently on eBay with no reserve, but I will sell to Hipo members and cancel auction for $375 plus shipping

The 65 exhaust is very easy to install and sound great. I put that system on my Weber fed K code engined, 66 clone. Very nice and easy. Good sound.

Cleaning out the shop....
8000 RPM Rally Pac
Says "Rally Pac" across the middle
Currently being re-painted with the Wrinkle Paint. I love Wrinkle painting...it is pretty cool.
No K cars here, so does anyone need one?
$450

Finally found the engine pics from my K engine, weber set up...enjoy..
can we upload pics here or do they have to be hosted somewhere?

Most likely weak ring seal from an older engine.
Additionally...just because the heads were done, does not mean they were done right. In fact, I would guess the valves are not seating properly. It is extremely difficult to find competent engine builders these days.
135-140 PSI sounds good, but three of your cylinders are weak.

Now is when I wish I had a little video of my Weber fed Hi-po 289...
The sound, the smell, the visual. I REALLY have to buy another set-up for myself. Thanks for bringing this subject up.
