- Super Secret Salvage Stash. Tetanus shot recommended. Yesterday I set out to find a potential donut truck, and ran across more than one ! Actually about 5 ! The old International KB-5 step van is repurposed as a storage shed for car parts. I then stumbled upon this old Mustang Convertible. This is a old fashioned junkyard that still exists. No organization. No barcodes. Nobody knows what lurks where. Funny thing is, if you call them, they will say they don't have it, but they do ! Crazy amount of junk.!
Update as of today March 5th 2016. The junkyard has moved this Mustang Convertible from the back lot to the very front . The scrapyard is trying to get a lien title, they are trying to get the front wheels un-seized so it will roll, they are taking pictures, trying to ID parts, and preparing it for sale. Supposedly it's going to a buyer in Australia for $5k., but that is just a rumor. If you're interested call Crystal Lane Auto Salvage in Portland Oregon. I can almost guarantee YES ....it will come with four flat tires ! - Авто та транспорт
64 1/2 Mustangs had 2 V8's: the 260 f code 2 barrel and the 289 D code with 4 barrel. The K code came out later in the 1965's and was a 271 hp 289. The vin would show which engine in the 5th digit space. In 65 you could get a C code 2 barrel, an A code 4 barrel, a K code 271 hp 289 and a R code 306 hp 289 which came in cars to race.
I'd have been more surprised if it DIDN'T have 4 flat tyres!
??
Car has a 1965 interior, gas cap, side moldings, and transmission (4 speed). It has a 1966 grille and engine. It does NOT have K code badging or any other signs of being a K code. It does NOT have any "1964 1/2" parts evident. It is likely a 1965 with some 1966 parts transplanted into it. (It could be a C or A code - one simple check of the VIN - on the engine apron by the fender edge - would have solved the "mystery".)
It would take considerable more money to restore this car than it would worth after the restoration.
Sad state of affairs.
It's a '65. The hood has curved front edges which means it's a '65 not a '64.5. It has '65 horns. It has an alternator and not a generator, so if that's original it's also definitely not a 64.5. The K code engine wasn't an option in '64.5, but even as a '65 it's not a K code. It has a vacuum advance distributor which the Ks did not have. The whole engine is painted blue which started in '66 (engine has probably been out and repainted at some point over the past 50 years). That power steering pump is an Eaton unit, only used on the 64.5 and early 65 Mustangs. It has a 66 grille. That's a 4 speed transmission. Standard interior, not the pony interior.
It's safe to say that it's a '65 model that's had the engine out at some point and a few other parts replaced. Very cool car. A convertible with factory power steering, a V8, and a 4 speed is definitely worth saving.
The K code was in fact an option in 64 1/2 I had one and it was a convertible. Very very rare though.
@@janbyrd6868 But this car is not a K code car. It's a C code.
car sitting since 1988 and has mold growing on it... guy's blown away it has flat tires :p
Yea lol
Ya, he says "4 flat tires" how many times? then he trys to see if the engine will turn over by grabbing the fan blades, then the belts! Priceless! He must be a real 'chanic!!
four flat tires are the least of his worries with that car
aaron71 4 flat tires is a deal breaker
If you grab the fan and it turned you'd know it was free. Worth trying but definitely not the final answer. Most likely stuck tight and needing a rebuild. The car is probably not that rare and would be an awesome restomod candidate. Check the VIN for what it actually is. Every guy dreams of finding a K-code Mustang, Hemi 'Cuda, 63 split window Vette or a real Shelby anything in a junkyard, barn, basement or abandoned building. It does happen and is not impossible, but unlikely. Most of these rare gems have been found or are recycled Toyotas by now.
The tires are flat only on the bottom.
because it pushes the air to the top inflating the top lol
He was joking you penis ...
@@keitholdbean3173 what if @wilkesjournal is joking too
Mustangology, the study of the Mustang breed as it applies to the Mustang vehicle, I learned a lot just by the comments on first generation Mustangs, thank you, professors!!!
Someone needs to save that car !!!
You could get everything you need to know from the drivers door tag. Make sure it matches the drivers side fender apron first though. Factory V8/4speed/White interior would make it quite valuable. Bring a Mustang decoder book with you. If you could get it for five grand or less, that would be a very good deal. (I knew it was a West Coast car when I heard the door shut) :)
great find but the 4 flat tires kill the whole deal I would have bought it if it didn't have them 4 flat tires!
Joseph Pate bru every abandoned car has 4 flat tires I know your joking btw
Pretty restorable.You guys have it too good there.Its gut wrenching thinking of all the cars going to waste all across America sitting out in the open
Great find. Very cool indeed.
i bought a 641/2,in 1971. 269 ,3 speed ,pony interior..looked great ran good..drove it off for 200.00. went cross country with it,it overheated ,in the snow..left it on the side of the road in texas. now that i know cars,it was probably a rotten bottom hose,it will collaspe at hwy speeds and over heat. sure wish i had it now.
Why are you so amazed at this car having 4 flat tires?
True I seen one with top cut and tires slashed
Lol
Nice car for a project. I still can't get over the 4 flat tires lol
Bill Sexton Not a nice project anything just a piece of SHIT!!
Me and a couple of buddies just did a full resto-mod on a 65 in about the same shape. We got the 289 running but swapped for a 302 Boss with a high rise, long headers, frame extensions, ladder bars, r/c header dumps, 50's and 70's, disc brakes, Cragar's.
13 weeks from rust bucket to two time best of show so far....We finished it on April 18 this year...it went to it's first show on the 20th, it's second today.
Badass I can't go into a salvage yard or I'll buy anything I can repair. That is a beautiful mustang.
Update as of today March 5th 2016. The junkyard has moved this car from the back lot to the very front . They are taking pictures , trying to ID parts, and preparing it for sale. Supposedly it's going to a buyer in Australia for $5k . but that is just a rumor. if you're interested call Crystal Lane Auto Salvage in Portland Oregon
Is the firebird still there
yep
"A bit rough?"...Doesn't look rough at all to me
Here in Australia, once restored it will fetch 50k. After shipping it here, he would double his money no issue selling it like that
and another thing that car would sell for about 4 to 6 thousand, around here. just like it is.
Looks like a great project car it's all there and I'm sure all the parts are readily available.
very good find and a great project very rare car
That car looks to be in good shape and complete.Even if you did not restore it it would make a heck of a good parts car for somebody .
those old mustangs rust out terribly on the bottom and being they are unibody means fixing it is a big, big job cheaper to buy complete
WELL it is not a 289 k code... It is not a 64 1/2 ... SO may want to rethink title. It would be a 1965.. how do you tell? Location of drivers side vent pull, horns are on radiator support, alternator, no lovers in radiator support. Just saying.. If it was a 289 4 barrel 289 it would be a "D" code not a k. the K code came out in 1965.
There were 289 Hipo's in 64 1/2 but very rare. This one is just a 65 C code convertible, this car has also been hit in the front and core support replaced. The also installed a 66 grille. He also mentioned it had pony interior..it is a standard interior. These cars sell every day across the country for $4,ooo to $5ooo the only think rare about the car is the 4 speed transmission..in 64 1/2 there were 170 6 cyl cars and 260 2V V-8s and 210 HP 289 4V cars...which had single exhaust. and roughly 60 some 289 Hipo's with 271 HP. in 65 the engine line up went up to a 200 6 Cyl, a 289 2V, a 289 4v (225 horse w/dual exhaust) and the 271 HP Hipo 289 V8.
Most of the front end is wrong. if the vin does support that its a 64 1/2 . Engine wrong , etc etc.....
post the VIN and we will know
one more thing.. look at the carpet in the car... Does not have 64 1/2 carpet.
it has a lot of 65 parts such as gas cap and speedometer also the fake air vents on the rear quarters are 65... But it has a 66 horse and Corral and 66 front grill... But we'll never know without seeing the VIN number
That's am awesome find, you should snatch that up and take it directly to the shop and start restoring it!
Then it would become number 25, or so, at the end of the row ...
that is a really rare and expensive car ! well worth getting an restoring !
A 64-1/2 has a generator dash warning light, used the old generator. The 65 has an alternator warning light, used a newer alternator. Use a flashlight to light up the red warning lights to see which it is.
I was impressed being a convertible and in a junk yard that the door opened easy and closed solid meaning the inner and outer rockers weren't rotted away. Or at least not enough to cause issues yet. A potential restore project that I'm sure is gone by now. Hope somebody snatched it up and it didn't get crushed.
My grandfather owns a 1964 1/2 convertible Mustang. Its Prairie Gold and has recently been fixed up and is now driving.
Lots of good info from the posters...
Wow... Just reading the comments below... you guys really know your Mustangs... Holy Shit...Good Stuff.
i showed this to my wife and she said we MUST get this... please don't let her murder me lol ;-) may be too far gone for your friend but its a gem by my standards. let me know, thanks :-)
Today is Nov. 29 2016, this Mustang is still sitting here ! Yes, It still has 4 flat tires. It's been loaded onto a roll back tow truck and parked in front of the Salvage Yard as some sort of attraction
today is December 5th 2016 I would like to get more information on where the lot is located I possibly saw through the video one or two cars I am interested in
mica charles Mica, no offense, but with the fantasy price put on the Mustang those guys at that salvage yard are not only dreamers, there hoping and praying to find a sucker. If they hold out long enough I'm sure one will come around. Afterall, there's a sucker born every minute. A fool and his money are soon parted.
Someone please buy this and just get it on the road again
Steven Marino Based on your comment, you don't have any knowledge the degree of decay you're looking at.
You keep remarking on it having 4 flat tires. That's not remarkable, not having 4 flats would be!?..
The 11th commandment was thou shalt not use blue tarps on antique cars. I have never understood why people don't just buy clear plastic that comes in a roll. Its 10x cheaper and will not let water in.
Dave And Purdy tarps don't let water in either until theyre torn.
And it won't let water OUT, either. Plastic tarps hold in condensation moisture causing everything to rust. Never put a plastic tarp on your car.
This Mustang is worth saving and restoring you can get any parts you need for these classic Mustangs when done you will have a beautiful fun to drive classic car.
That's a pretty tidy junkyard - no swarms of bees popping out of hoods? No fun at all! I think I saw my old minivan in there.
smichelsen tidy? whoa ....you haven't seen the other video segments, this one was part two, goes to part 8. I know you will change your mind.
Did you see that fucking big ole wasp that got me at Harry's last month? Let the little bastard know I got something for his ass when i back this weekend.. I'm bringing my Craftsman breaker bar just for him
I see a 65 gas cap..a 65 speedometer and a 66 front Grill
ford used the same speedometer in 64 1/2 as they did on the base model 65, and both years used the same gas cap, but it was changed in 66, good eye!
I'm pretty certain it IS a '65. IIRC, the only V8 available for the '64-1/2 was the 260. The 289 didn't show up until 1965. Also, alternators didn't happen until '65, and I clearly saw an alternator in this video.
did you hear him say that it had white pony interior... That was definitely not Pony interior... okay we know it's definitely not a 64 and a half because it has a 289 with an alternator ... it has a 65 speedometer a 65 gas cap and 65 fake air vents on the rear quarters... but the horse and Corral and front grill are 66... but we'll never know because he didn't show us the VIN number
All you are wrong it was a special order for the guy you know the guy that wants his car to be a one off.
Just kidding thanks for the info I learned something today my day wasn't wasted. 😂
X boy they had some special order cars but it pertained to the trans features the 4bbl cars which i think is the K code car they refer to and the automatic choke... And states with STATE INSPECTION LAWS you could have new cars altered with REVERSE LIGHT PACKAGES from the dealer.. Some of those packages were as primitive as bolt on reverse lights and a fucking toggle switch to operate the reverse lights. The grill is wrong to be original possibly it was in an accident maybe mild... But these idiots arguing over a 51 year old car being all OEM it's fucking insane hearing the dumb stuff but entertainment for me... I had a few early Mustangs... A 64.5 a 69 and 71 6cyl notch back car.... It's interesting and I even learn things.. never profess to be a Mustang Professor... I just keep my ears open mouth shut until I have something intelligent or witty to ad..
Call Dennis Collins in Texas. He always looks at the door code plate. He could tell you over the phone . What year and engine code it is. The man knows his Mustang's. This car has potential to be really nice. If it goes to the right buyer. Hell! He might just buy it himself. Shawn.
It is very complete! Now the deciding factor is the frame and floors. If those are solid it is a good project car! If they are Swiss cheese then it is a good parts car!
Clearly a '65 - like Leonard Gilbreath said below, it's got an alternator. Somehow, it picked up a '66 grille during it's lifetime, too. Whether it's a C-code (2 bbl) or an A-code (4 bbl), the fact that it's got what appears to be a 4-speed transmission makes it worth restoring. Not much chance of it being a K-code (271 hp), unless the motor has been changed. Wrong alternator, air cleaner, fender badges, etc.
Still, probably worth fixing, even if the floor pans are gone (which they probably are).
Very nice mustang....
It's like a morgue
.. but you bring it back to life
For her age. and times shes sat, She seems Clean and rust free. Sweet,
The first Mustang ever sold and has the 001 serial number was bought by a pilot from Newfoundland. It sits in the Ford Museum now. I believe it was similar to this one, 64 1/2, convertible.
they should be arested for leting that mustang get in that shape
lol lol
Loan Wolf I know a guy that has three or four just turning into compost sad a fee convertibles too...on the other hand I know a guy with 20+ mustangs and Firebirds sitting in his backyard as he is collector a few high dollar ones too
yea it happens little town i know guy had a dealership went out of business had a 79 bronco less than 1 mile on it had the factory paper floor mats when he was alive he kept them all in good shape he died and his kids let them go to shit it was sad
+Loan Wolf it doesn't matter what condition the bronco is currently if it really has 1 mile it's a goldmine in any condition a 3 mile Chevy Apache that also had a branch fall on the roof and it sold for $130,000 and then a few more under 1k milage in horrible condition went for big bucksz
Facts
That car is in better shape than a five year old car here in Michigan.We like a little road on our salt. They'll get $5000 for it easily.
Mr Frog EXACTLY had a bubble on a car with 40k less than 5 years old in Illinois...Crook County uses "blue" ice melting chemicals and they EAT STAINLESS!
Did you know we have huge salt mines under the "downriver" area of Detroit? Most of it don't wind up on tables either. It cracks me up when people from other places complain about working on rusty old cars.There ain't no rust like Midwest rust! I've been wrenchin' on them for 40 years now.
Maybe I should open a snowcone stand out your way.
If y'all wanna see rust come to Pennsylvania... At night you can rust rusting on your car or a Dodge ram & Silverado. Maybe I can imitate the sound in one of my next videos.
2:08, the bubbling(high up) would indicate the RH rear quarter is a replacement. Instead of going through the process of replacing the entire rear quarter, bodyshops would often cut under the leading edge of the quarter, attach a new skin, then use body filler to smooth the seam. If you look inside the trunk area, you will discover two different surface areas; the replacement skin, and the original. By the looks of it, the car was restored, probably during the '80s. Ha! I just noticed, it has a manual convertible top (no Power switch). Even back then, most cars had the power top.
I think your right, it was restored at one point
John L 3
it does not appear to be a K code, or a 64.5, but it is a nice stang; a friend of mine actually did find one of the last K codes in a salvage yard only a few miles from his home. It was a 67, and very interesting, fastback, rare color and some rare options. I'm not a mustang guy, but he has owned about 50 or so, some very expensive, 428's and boss's, he restored the K code and got about 60,k for it.
It will need everything. not an easy job. Plan for big work and $$.
The Vehicle Warranty Number and Build tag on the Driver Door would tell if the car was a '64 1/2. It's possible the engine was replaced though (concerning the alternator). The engine build date is stamped on a pad in front of the Driver side Head. Those dates tell a lot.
What shape do you expected it be in if it's been sitting for almost 30 years at a junk? On top of that, it's a mid 60's car so a lot of twar and wear when it was running.
I swear, some most Anglos in this country are so god damn picky about old sht. It's old!!! Obviously they're not asking 10-20k for it. That car is in great shape considering the years it has been sitting. I've seen worse come to life.. there is no cheap and easy way when it comes to restoring!!
Not a K code. Vacuum distributor is first indication. K's had mechanical advance. Look on the top of driver's side apron underhood where the VIN is. 5th digit would be a K. If it was a K it'd be worth restoring. This is a parts car. $5k?? Good luck. It's gonna sit for the next 30 years. $500 maybe.
The grill lacked the horizontal and vertical bars on the corral.Someone may have changed it.It did have the correct quarter trim under the side window.But a rare find no doubt.
Look on the vin ,pop the hood . 64 1/2 had a generator, 65 an alternator. I know I had one
or the door plate. That will tell you everything you need to know and will definitely tell you if its a K
those Stangs are very easy to restore these days. every single part can be be bought from a catalog.
So I'm dying to know what the final verdict is. Did you get the pics of the door tag and match it to the fender tag? Is it a 64 and a half with some replacement parts or a 65 like most think?
It's a 65. 64 1/2 would have a generator not alternator. There are many other clues but this is the most obvious. We too from Oregon where all the great cars are hiding, looks like you found one of them!
I wish you would've taken a shot of the vin number. That would answer everything. If the vin starts with a 4 it's a 64 1/2 if it starts with a 5 it's a 65. I have a 65 C code.
This is my favorite Mustang. Little late though. Lol.
you can buy every part on this car today....if this is numbers matching and you do the work yourself you could stand to make a profit on it. buy low enough....put under $20,000 into it and you could sell it for $25,000 $30,000 maybe? or you could keep it knowing you saved it from a crusher....if its the 4 barrel 289ci making 270hp with a 4 speed then Id say that makes it a very desirable first year mustang...convertible the blue isn't too bad but its not widely loved either...id say it wouldn't hurt the resale but its not black or dark blue .... Im sure collectors don't mind the color if its original resto color. i like it. I might paint it black though . but i also would want a coupe not conv
A 64&1/2 had a genarator not an altnator that is a 65. i had a 64 and it had a gen.
i love that lincoln mark viii gen 1 at 0:30
Tyler I used to drive a town car sig series 5.0L in high school, one day I took it in for service and the loaner was a mark VIII. Had so much fun with that hot rod, I almost didn't wanna go back for my ride
Awesome ❤
It's a 1966. The VIN on the inner fender apron will show what it was from the factory. It will start with a "6" and have a capital "A" in it. All 65 (and 64.5) "D", "A", and "K" codes had a gold and black engine.
The 289 K was offered in earlier 65 cars (64.5) bit this was not one. The other V8 were the 2V 260, and the 4V 289.
*could* be rust under the bubbles? Yeah, you're a genius.
Being in the Pacific Northwest, that's going to have totally rotten floors.
Good thing you can get complete floorpans for those.
That's savable!
Air in tires generally go out as the years go by lol.
When I was serving with the Canadian Army in Germany from 1971-74 I found a 65 Mustang Convertable Export Model, bought it and brought it back to Canada in 74. Because of circumstances beyond my control (no place to store it) I had to sell it.
...it's a 65 with a 66 front grill
It's been ppushed in the rear 1/4 & the front was also changed...
64 mustangs had 260cu V8s with generators instead of alternators . If it was a factory high performance K code engine it would not have a vacuum on the distributor. Plus it would have solid lifters instead of mechanical lifters. 😊. 64 mustangs had painted metal under the carpet same as the body color too. The name plates on the side that says mustang are a different size from 65 models. C means 2 BBL A means 4bbl K means high performance 4bbl carb.
I've been looking for the same center peice on the steering wheel but can't find it
There are some errors in previous comments:
1. All 1964-1/2 Mustang VINs start with 5!!!
2. Mustangs built between March 9, 1964 and August 17, 1964 are considered “Early 1965” model Mustangs.
Mustangs built after August 17, 1964 are considered “Late 1965” model Mustangs.
3. All Mustangs built between August 17, 1964 and September, 1965 (when the 1966 model Mustangs were introduced)
also have 1965 VINs which start with 5.
4. D-Code, F-Code, K-Code and U-Code Engines were all available in "Early" 1964-1/2 Mustangs.
(K-Codes started in June, 1964)
5. A-Code and C-Code Engines were not available in 1964-1/2 Mustangs.
They came in the "Late 1965s"(after mid-August, 1964).
I have an original 1964-1/2 D-Code 289CID 271HP 4-Speed Stick Convertible in excellent condition.
VIN: 5F08D176057 Red on Red with a White top and boot.
"Data Plate": 76A F 82 22F=June 22,1964 6=Dallas 1 5
Originally "Guardsman Blue", which was one of the seven original 1964-1/2 colors.
It has a fresh "Rangoon Red" paint job. "Rangoon Red" was not one of the original seven colors for 1964-1/2 cars.
All body panels are original and solid (no rust). All panel stamping dates are May and June 1964!!!
No Bondo or Body Putty anywhere!!
It has an Alternator (not a Generator). The dashboard idiot light shows "ALT" not "GEN".
I'm not sure, but either the dashboard was sourced during a partial restoration,
or Ford started using alternators in some of the June, 1964 builds. I have researched this and have had mixed input.
Other 1964-1/2 Parts facts:
Bevelled Headlight Buckets!!!
Four Vertical Slots: (2 over 2, each ~2"L x 1/2"W w/rounded ends), & Three Battery Vents (Gills).
(to dissipate Heat in the Generator Charging System which made the Batteries run hot).
White "A" on the Black (under dash) Air Vent Knob!
Mustang Horse in Corral w/Four Horizontal and Vertical Chrome Bars extending from the Corral on a Honeycomb Grill
Spare Tire has Slotted Hold-Down Bracket!!
"MUSTANG" Badge 4-3/8″ Long
Heater Vertical Control Levers & Fan Slider Switch are correct: "Fan Center Off", High Speed Fan on Left, Low Speed Fan on Right.
I hope this helps clarifies what a 1964-1/2 Mustang is. Bob
nice, i got me one of those as a coupe. If you're not buying it, please pass this one so it doesn't get crushed. and believe it or not its in GREAT shape compared to some cars i've messed with... let me know if your buddy doesn't have dibs on it ;-)
That's a 65 Mustang. That's the year all engines were painted blue. If that car was a 64, the engine would be black with gold cylinder heads and air cleaner
I think you are correct. The grill doesn't look right either. Not sure though. I don't think the 289 was offered in the 64 1/2 either, it would have had a 260 V8 or a six banger.
Will Butter I'll give you my toe nail clippings for it!
Some of the early grills had like little crossed x tees in them you know red and blue ect and just said FORD back in the early days. That is a cool observation. I have pics of the 64.5 I used to have and you are right it has those crossed like asterix markings and FORD in the grill badge not the PONY badge. That was an interesting observation. By accident I damaged my grill slightly yet the guy that bought the car after it was totalled in a rear ender in 1990 the guy couldn't even find an after market grill he told me not like this one. I got $1,500 for the car and compared to the parts that are available to fix the Mustangs now... i should have kept it I wanna bend over and kick and myself in the ass.
The 65 Mustang 289 had black block and gold air cleaner and valve covers. The 66 289 was blue. Trust me I know these cars.
Looks like a Frankenstein car. 1965 289 A & C codes had black blocks with gold valve covers + air cleaners. The K codes had an open side style chrome air cleaner. That engine looks like at least a 66 from the color it's painted. The grill is for sure 66 & that isn't pony interior ether. The cluster is 65 as is the side trim. He could have checked the VIN, if it was still there, under the hood on the driver's fender lip. It's gone if the apron was replaced with aftermarket sheet metal. The only way this could have been a Pre-August 1964 build is if the entire front clip was smashed & replaced with all 66 stuff. One way you MIGHT be able to tell, from the firewall back if it was a pre Aug 64 is if when that cluster lights up, it says GEN instead of ALT. In August or 64, they switched from generators to alternators.
any updates on what happened to the Mustang?
Has it been sold? I’m down the coast and would love to do a restore!!
that is a very valuable car. i hope you bought it.
It has a lot of non 64 1/2 Mustang items on it. Like the engine should have been a 260 V8. Ford increased the displacement to 289 for 1965.The grill was for a 66, the 64s usually had generators instead of alternators. The hood may be a 64. They are known to have a sharper leading edge then 65-66 Mustangs. Too bad it's so rusted.
omg I think that's my old firebird who gives a shot about the god damn crowd pleaser
is this in Oregon?
Please do a title search on this car. My mom had that same package and color she bought new and sold in about 74.
this cas is extremely rare this was the first year they were made i wood love to bye it if this car was restored it will b worth a lot of money but if i can find it i would keep it for me
Jimmy Hicks, not a 64 1/2. Not a first year and not super rare. Worth saving though.
It's a 65 not a 64 the way you can tell is by the alternator the 64 still used generator ford switched to alterators in 65 and look at the head light thats a give way also .
It my of been converted
I would have begged the bank for a loan to get that car! super easy resell!!!
If its not rusty metal its most likely bondo! Good luck and i hope you have a big stack of cash!
"That's not gonna buff out"!!! BWAAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!
There's a guy here in western Maryland close to Green ridge state forest who has 9 k code mustang's sitting in the woods. A few have the original 289 high performance engine. One has an aluminum 4 speed I guess the aluminum 4 speed would have been out of a shelby I guess.
Not a K-code, that 289 emblem would say Hi-Po on it...and front disc brakes... but its a A-code (probably) and 64 1/2 convertible.... I believe the 64 1/2 cars were all "generator" cars... I didn't notice one...
With the bubble's being so high on the quarters it's had them replaced and not very well
You can't tell if it frozen by turning the water pump.
mebbe he just wanted to see if the pump was frozen?
The front grill is to a 1966 Ford Mustang if I'm not mistaken.
K code was 271hp. and it said "high performance" on the air cleaner. Hemmings does say there was a 64 1/2
Ford offered a K code in 64 1/2 which had a generator which had a 4' diameter pulley on it to slow the rpm helping the generator mass not to blow up during high engine revs. 65 the 289 was black block with gold valve covers and air cleaner. 65 Ford painted the 289 blue as this one is. The decal on the air cleaner says 289 which means it is a 289 2V not a 4V. This being said the 5th number in the VIN will be C. T was 6 cyl, 289 2V was C, 289 4V in 64 1/2 was D code and the 289 hipo 271 hp is the early mustangs were all K code. I've owned all of these models. Including 64 1/2 K code convertible, a very rare model.
Just got my wife’s grandfathers Mustang to restore. Father-in-law says it’s a 64 1/2. How do I tell for sure?
Not looking for vent locations or carpet style.
Look for rot under the back seat .
D Code 289 Four Barrel Autolite Carb Engine, The Block is Black, Valve Covers and Air Cleaner are Gold and Oil Filler Tube is in the front of the Engine, Fan Blade has 5 Blades, the only thing I saw on the car that could be 64 1/2 was the Eaton Power Steering Pump
A Mustang that is from 1964 1/2 is valued from $150.000 to $290.000 today. Since you found it sitting like that its value is somewhere between $50.000 to 85.000. I know this bc 64 1/2 are really rare these days & they had different options back in 1964 than in '65, 66, 67, 68, 69. I also shortly will own a 64 1/2 Mustang Convert. Bought it for $266.000 with taxes & brought it to the Netherlands. Also 64 was the first year the Mustang was released & produced. 64 cars are way more rare then the other years. Check it out.
Say what? For those prices in USD I'd sell 65 convertible show car and deliver it .
Did you check the Vin # for the K ?? If it is . This car has had an engine swap.. Easiest way to tell a real 64 1/2 is they came from the fact with a Generator .. and the dashboard light will also say GEN...
The K code did not have vacuum advance on the distributor, this is a standard 289.
Cara um ferro velho desses pra mim é um sonho 🥰 monte de "lasanha"...
K code motors didn't have vacuum advance in the distributor. They had dual points with centrifugal advance! Also has the wrong crank dampener.
yes you are right found one in a wrecker in 1980
how do you get a car out of the cars they have it blocked in???..anyone??
I passed up a amazing deal.. a 1966 Mustang, with little rust on the outside body.. Interior was amazingly clean just moldy.. But It didn't have a key and the engine was horribly rusted, and it dosn't turn. So the engine had to be replaced. But they only wanted 3.5k CASH.
Glaxzor Scopes I have a 68 289 coupe that needs work. Been in my attached garage for 11 years now. First $4000 takes it
