    Missed an great buy now which should I choose?

    I got a call from my nephew telling me of some ponies for sell. The old trash man had collected these mustangs over the years while picking up peoples trash. He had passed away and now his family was selling off the collection. I thought I had bought a 1965 289 convertible in incredible...

    289 HiPo parts?

    It is just the engine. When I got it the owner( a 70 year old hot-rodder) said he put the dual point distributor in a falcon some years back and also put on a 2 barrel manifold and carb for better mileage some years back. It still has the HiPo heads, crank and hatchet/bob counter weight and...

    289 HiPo parts?

    I have decided to take my 289 HiPo and trade it for a good project car. I want to add the few things it is missing like exhaust manifolds, dual point distributor, intake and main caps. If you remember my engine was all HiPo but had the standard main caps for some reason. My question is how...

    My new 95 GT convertible project

    Definitely planning on some upgrades/mods. I'm wanting to build a rice eater as we has a lot running around here. The engine sounds really healthy but seems to be lacking in get-up-n-go. I'm going to try a tuneup first and clean things up(MAF etc) and see if that helps. Doesn't seem to want to...

    My new 95 GT convertible project

    Just bought this 95 GT convert needing some TLC. I've owned many many pony's over the years but this is my first of this generation. I saw it at a off street car lot and had been wanting to get me a convertible for summer. I looked it over for about 2 weeks and haggled with the lot until I got a...

    64.5 Convertible "K" Code

    My first car was a hand-me-down from my dad. It was an early 1965 K code red with white interior convertible 4 speed. My dad was a police officer for Dodge City when he ordered this mustang brand new to be used as his off duty police car. That is why he ordered it with the HiPo. I got it in...

    HiPo or not?

    I pulled the pan last night and I'm still confused. It has the crank weightbob, it has the polished point on the most aft counterweight used to check nodular levels met specs, it has the 3/8" rod bolts, but the caps don't look right. Block numbers. Weightbob. polished aft...

    HiPo or not?

    Looks like it would be a waste to put in my C code 65 coupe. Once I check all the numbers, and bottom end, I might see about having it rebuilt and sell/trade it for a better project. I like my 65 coupe but it needs some serious body work and I'm going to get a lot of money wrapped up in it real...

    HiPo or not?

    I bought a new project pony, a 1965 coupe C code, that someone has put a 6 cylinder in when it was originally a 289 v2. So I put an add in Craig's List looking for a 289 and I get a cal from a 70 year old guy who says he has several and one is a 66 HiPo. I was more interested in a 1964 289 with...

    Another should I buy question

    Horns are down at the bottom between the radiator and engine. Not sure exactly what happened, but the title shows he paid $8,500 for it in 2005. Got a nice surprise when I opened the trunk. I was looking to make sure the 4th mag was in the trunk as I was told, and I found the 4 original...

    Another should I buy question

    The new pony got home last night and I was pretty happy. From what I can see it looks like it has 90,000 original miles. The title shows 89,380 back in 2003 when the guy I bought it from bought it and now it has 90,157. I'm try to find out about the engine because I'm sure it has been changed...

    Another should I buy question

    Thanks. Sent my nephew to pick it up this morning. Guess I'll find out more about it when it gets home. My nephew is pretty mustang savvy and knows what to look for. I told him to walk away if things aren't as the pictures would indicate.
