#289 hipo for sale code
I wouldn’t be surprised if this one nudged $60,000 before the auction ends, so this is a listing that should be well worth watching.For Sale: 1965 Mustang GT Fastback 289 HiPo K Code - 3977 Original Miles The owner states that values on K-Code Mustangs are continuing to rise, and recent sales results seem to confirm this. I expect this trend to continue, and if the owner is willing to confirm a few of the details that I have questioned, I would expect it to become pretty intense. I find the lack of information and decent photos frustrating, but it hasn’t stopped people from submitting bids. This 1965 Mustang GT Fastback is a beautiful looking car, and it potentially offers performance that is a match for its looks. I feel that the owner is doing himself a massive disservice in this case, so we can only hope that he is willing to answer questions from interested potential buyers. He also doesn’t say how well the car runs or drives, which I find almost unforgivable in a situation like this. The owner doesn’t elaborate on whether the Mustang is a numbers-matching vehicle. A lack of photos is not the only shortcoming with this listing. That little V8 was potent enough to send the GT through the ¼ mile in a rapid 14.7 seconds, which was nothing to sneeze at when the car was new. As a performance proposition, this was as good as it got in a 1965 Mustang. This motor is backed by a 4-speed Top Loader transmission that sends all of this pony’s, er, ponies, to a 9″ rear end. The owner claims that this GT is a genuine K-Code car, which means that the engine bay houses the 271hp version of the beautiful little 289ci V8. This is the point where we reach the most frustrating aspect of this listing. Someone has also changed the shifter, but that’s a change that I would be inclined to live with if it provides a precise shifting experience. That isn’t the end of the world because it is possible to buy high-quality reproduction gauges, and these look as good as the genuine articles. It is possible that someone did this to improve reliability, but some potential buyers won’t agree with this change. The factory AM radio is still in its rightful place, but the original gauges have made way for aftermarket items. It is once again worth noting a few changes that have been made. There is no visible wear on the wheel, while the chrome and trim pieces look flawless. The Black interior trim and upholstery are perfect, as are the painted surfaces, carpet, and dash pad. The presentation of the Mustang’s interior is just as impressive as the exterior, and it further reinforces my belief that the Mustang has been recently restored. These suit the car’s character, but potential buyers might consider swapping them for genuine items if they aren’t to their taste. There are a few aftermarket additions to note, and the most obvious one to consider with this car’s exterior is the Magnum 500 wheels. The chrome and trim sparkle magnificently under the light, and while he doesn’t specifically say so, I suspect that the Mustang might have undergone a recent restoration. There are no signs of any rust in the panels, while what we can see of the floors and frame show little more than the occasional slight spot of surface corrosion. The panels are as straight as an arrow, and the gaps are as tight and consistent as you are ever likely to find in a 1st Generation Mustang. This paint shines beautifully, with no evidence of any blemishes. Photographing a car under artificial lighting is fraught with dangers because it can emphasize any flaws that might be present.
However, they do paint a positive picture. There are only two of the exterior for us to get an overview of the car’s condition, along with this shot of the underside. Bidding on the Mustang has rocketed to $41,800, and the reserve has been met.įrustratingly, the photos that the owner supplies of the Ivy Green Mustang aren’t great. Located in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, you will find the GT listed for sale here on eBay. It is also a classic that you could potentially park in your driveway. That is what is on offer with our feature car, and it has the stunning good looks to match its performance potential. If you were in the position to buy a new Mustang in 1965, the GT version with the K-Code V8 was about as good as it got.
