Hello.
That's actually pretty reasonable for that car on ebay. I just sold my 65 K code fastback a few months ago to a nice man in California. The car was by no means a number one car. More like a really nice number three car. The paint was pretty tired, the interior was even more tired, but it didn't have any rust, and had all original sheet metal and the original motor, tranny and rear end. It also still had all of the real expensive stuff, like the original carb, balancer, main bearing caps, motor mounts and fan. I wasn't trying to sell it or anything. He heard from a friend of friend about a friend of mine that new that I had the car. Somehow or another he managed to track me down and basically begged me to sell him the car for 50K, when, in it's condition at the time, it was only really worth something in the high thirties. The point of all this being that K codes were very rare back in the 60s, and to find a good one now is extremely difficult to do. So difficult that this guy was willing to invest a fair amount of time and effort to track down someone half-way across the country that wasn't advertising a car as being for sale, based solely on rumors of a real K code.:gringreen
As a side note, all of the K code motors were vin stamped. There was a time when that was common knowledge, but over the last 5 or 10 years, you've had a whole bunch of people piece together correctly date-coded components and swear up and down that it's the original motor, and there isn't really any way to conclusively refute that. It is possible that a couple of them, as in two or three, slipped through the cracks and didn't get vin stamped, but even that is unlikely. We are talking about a motor that came with a 90 day/4000 mile warranty. Ford new what they were building, and that the first thing that people were going to do when they got the car would be to work just as hard as they possibly could to blow that motor up. Many were successful.:gringreen
