I to have had problems with buyers say yea I want the car but never come to see the car when they say they are. And then they call after two or three weeks and ask if the car is still for sale. I never try to talk a person into buying my vehicle. I had nine people wanting to look at my K's and no one showed up.If the buyer doesn't want to take the time to look thats there problem not mine. My one K sold to a guy that got my name from an X employee. He had no idea about hipomustang.com. He put a large down payment,and wanted to pick the car asap. I to have had cars sold out from under me even have paid a deposit. And I would have paid more for the car.The moral of the store is buy the car right then and now and take it home with you. Don't hesitate or you will regrete it. I learned a long time ago not to make promises to someone that has NOT made up there mind. The K Mustang's are a HIGH Interest Car.So if you want one you BETTER MOVE ON IT NOW not later. Remeber one in the hand is better than two in the bush!!!!!! Just my 2 cents. Ron

I had the wrong trans numbers. I need a HEH-BX 4 speed. and a 1965 9 inch for my 1965 Feb. built K Fastback. Thanks! Ron

Fred is correct . The engines are at the same height. In a stock Mustang the pinion points up about 4 degree's. If you put the pinion at 0 degree's you may gain about 3/4 inch to lower your engine. Not enough to bother with. Just my 2 cents. Ron Morris performance does not mention about dropping the engine lower. They are a nice mounts. You would have to relocate your steering likage. Ron

I believe I have an old Lakewood steel bell that has both bolt patterns. Give me a call. 815-926-7641 Ron

I have decided not to sell the other car until spring time. It has been to cold and snowy to miss with them. Thanks for all the calls. But if anyone is realy interested call me at home. 815-926-7641 You can call me days or nights. I have not promissed any of my cars to know one. First come first serve.Only one person came and looked at the cars and bought it right there. If you don't want to take the time to set up the time to have it inspected or come and look at the car,don't waste yours and my time. Ron

I need a set of HIPO heads ,carb,intake and dist.HEH-t trans and a 9 inch rear end. Dated Dec. 1964 thru Feb.1,1965. Email me at ram65kfb@aol.com Thanks!Ron

My support plates for my K where damaged beyond repair. Does anyone have any to sell? Email me at ram65kfb@aol.com. You can also post it on this site. My number is 815-926-7641 or 815-671-0911. You can call me or you can leave your number and I will call you when you want me to.Also looking for a HEH-T trans and a 9 inch for a 1965 K and the snuber bracket with the rubber snuber. Thanks very much. Ron Madding

How come the Vin. number looks to be in the wrong spot? My two K's is where the fender slot is cut out. But as far as pricing All of K owners better be ready for the price of are K's to go SKY HIGH. The 1965 Shelbys are selling for over $250,000 plus. And the price for parts is going up also. Lets enjoy them as long as we can. Just my 2 cents! Ron Madding

Looks like another early model was made into a GT. It was built before Jan. of 1965. It does not mention if the engine is the correct HIPO unit.

Use CAUTION when using a Fluid Dampner!!!! In cold weather than can break or worse yet is break your crank!!! Ford Racing sells a very good balancer for your HIPO. It is almost the same thickness. You may have to modify a crank pulley to fit. They come with three bolt and four bolt pattern. They are 28 oz. units. Which bolt right on. Also did you have your pressure plate checked and was it rebalanced? The shop that rebuilds your engine can put the pressure plate on the balancer after he has balanced your crank assembly and check to see if your pressure plate is in balance. It should have been neutrel balanced already. When rebalancing your HIPO engines don't let them drill on the balancer or flywheel. Do all the correcting on the crankshaft. I have repaired cracked balancers! I weld them after they are taking apart and then machine them. Never had one break after doing that. I have also machined the end off the balancer and used a FE crank spacer machined to the correct lenght and use a full lenght key. That works fine also.DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR OLD HIPO BALANCER, I fix them if they are cracked. I leave the rest up to the Dampner Doctor.Hope this helps. Ron

What do you want for both of them? And can you email pics to me? Thanks! Ron

One car is sold!

In the 20's for each one. I'am still sorting out all my parts. Thanks for all the calls. Ron

I'am sorry I should have mentioned Tony's Book is where they are listed. Thanks for calling Fred. Ron

Thinking of selling both of my K Fastback projects! I will give details and a list of parts I have for both cars. Both cars are listed in the newest HIPO Mag. Both cars are Dark Green and where built a little over two months apart. It will take me some time to get the total list together. You can call me at 815-671-0911 cell or 815-926-7641 Thanks! Ron

Ken can you post some good pics of them.

Wanted both left and right dual exhaust plates that are spot welded to the floor pan. The rear seat is right above them. They are the same as A code cars also. My original ones where damaged to badly to be repaired. Putting two K code fastbacks back together. Thanks guys for the help. You can call me at 815-671-0911. Ron
