    engine

    That doesn't sound orignial. I have been looking over ebay for a 289 for a few months. A plain Jane 289 a or c code isn't worth much. (Shipping often costs more.) Just no demand to price them high. ebay pricing I have seen: If it is old running and origninal, 200-500ish. (or no...

    69 block worth anything??

    A mustang with an original motor will always be worth more and easier to sell for a higher price. (Unless of course, the new engine you put in is worth more by itself.) If you don't plan on selling the car, toss it. If you plan on lots of mods, toss it as you won't be original enough...

    Wrecked hopes / Fond Memories

    Well, since this thread predates me by a few years, I read through the whole thing and looked through his website. Given that he has a picture of a whole front end rebuild and later a picture of an "on the road at last" I think he made it. But I would like to hear that from the horse's...

    what is concourse correct?

    Thanks for the great replies and links. It all kind of goes like this: I have bought about 6 books. Some ok, other worthless picture books. The better ones say how everything goes together and some block casting numbers. I am looking for the whole grouping of parts that should go...

    what is concourse correct?

    I guess I should have waited a few extra minutes for that last post. That link does help, but I guess what I am looking for is more of a: this engine came with these parts from this date range unless option X was included, then it had this set of parts. with a Note of if sold in CA...

    what is concourse correct?

    I am noticing a lack of replies to this thread. Is this just not well known information? An out of print book? Or is this more like the shelby vin, where you keep it unknown so you can tell if it is turly a fake or not? I am looking for some help on this, even if it is a "I don't...

    what is concourse correct?

    If I wanted to build an engine or a car to "concourse" (I hope I spelled that right) where would I find said concourse correct specifications? Does someone sell a book, or may be a website somewhere? Someone has to have a check list or something. I am looking for the 65 model...

    Paint done, 50 dollar method

    Don't forget the attachment to pull the water out of the compressed air. You don't want water in your paint now.

    '93 thunderbird IRS in a '66?

    Could you post pictures? (I just happen to have a 91 Bird, but I don't know that I will kill a bird for a pony yet, as the pony has a 9in and the Bird has a 7.5 instead of an 8.8in. I must have been lucky on that one... but get 30MPG in the Bird)

    Assistance Needed - '66 Fastback A-Code

    A fair part of the value of that car is wrapped in it being the original engine and drive train. They claim it is all original, but you will want to confirm that. You will have to check the casting number and date code on the engine (behind the starter), the tranny tag/numbers and the...

    1965 Mustang Hardtop Identification

    I have a 65 Dearborn fastback (5f) with a build date of April 7(warranty tag), that is numbered 589XXX. So, if they produced another 117,000 in your two month range, they could have made it to 700,000. That is provided Ford used the last six numbers inorder between all build plants and not...

    Back from Paint, pics.

    Maybe I am missing something because I am not a much of a body guy, but why does it take so many months to paint a car? For 3 or 4 base coats and 2 clear coats, I would think a few weeks. Are you having them do rust work too? What am I misssing?

    My starter solenoid melted

    Today I was doing a compression check with my dad and brother. (It ranged 80-105 which was far better than we expected with all the gas in the oil pan.) Getting on with it, my dad pulled out some old switch with two clips on it to go to the solenoid. (It looked comercial grade from when...

    65 A Code Engine Questions (restore to orig)

    Thanks for the replies. I was emailing a guy several days ago on an engine he claimed was a March 65 block. He didn't want to send pictures (red flag on that). I dropped it when he said the block was a 5 bolt block. As for the suggested book, is this it this...

    Amazing what a little paint can do!

    I am going to be taking a car apart to that extent (new full floor pan too). Any tips? Also, what kind of setup were you using for wheeling it around? (Just something you welded together, or did you buy it?) Have fun puting it back together.

    65 A Code Engine Questions (restore to orig)

    I have a 65 A Code Fastback, that I believe is a GT. (Past all tests I could find.) It has a 4th of April, 1965 build date. The trouble is, the engine is a 66. I want to go back to orignial (or at least as close as I can). (Shouldn't have trusted, the seller's the engine could have been...
