no, if it was 100% origional, i'd pay 30K. it's a 64 1/2! maybe if you lived when they were made they aren't as cool. [8D]

with the 302 and in great shape, 10-15K. yours, i'd pay about the same 15K+. it's clean, origional, but the 64 1/2 is the rarest as far as i know. at least for the classics.

 

That's an interesting theory, in that you think a 64 1/2 (Actually a 65) that was built maybe 2 months before mine would be double in price just because of originality. Mine is original. It was built in the same year. But yet, it is a 65 because it was built after August 17th. However, I guess what you are saying is that a 65 with a 260 or D code 289 or 170 I6 is more original than my C code 289. OK......I can see that.

 

Would any of you seriously by a 64 1/2? That's a meuseum car IMO. For the $ it would cost I'd get a 66 2x2

 

i wasn't contesting the origionality of your car, Glen. i was saying that it's a 46 1/2 by date. i hear a lot of guys talking about how they are worth more just for that reason. maybe i'm wrong. i think it breaks down to the novelity of it being a "half year".

how are those motor codes more origional that your C code?

 

Take a look at the top right hand side of the main forum, and you will see the research I did regarding the 64 1/2. You will see that my original 65 has differences such as the original Mustang engines being a 170, a D code 289 and a K code 289 before August 17th, 1964. My car has a build date of October. A few months after the demise of the 64 1/2 models, and I have a C code 289.

well, by origional, i meant, the motor origionally installed at the factory. but yeah, having the info you provided, the engine codes to match the 64 1/2's would, imo, make them rare. maybe it's just me, but that's my .02 cents

 

Well, I can tell you that a May, 1964 build date with a D code 289 and generator will not sell for the price you quoted. Even if it is in pristine condition, unless it is a convertible or a K code shelby. Even those are selling in the 20K range or less.

 

well, you shouldn't have told me that.

you should have just gone out, foung one, cleaned it up and made a huge profit off my n00b tusch!

 

the 65 with alt are a much more refined car over the gen charged cars i could see buying a clean pace car for about 20000.00$ but it would have to be a good car showing minimal wear and the original engine etc? but as said before i would probably just buy another fastback for that kinda money

 

that's why i enjoy my diamond in the rough
