1965 427 s/c Factory Five on eBay

[mrmustang]

Would sure love to know the casting numbers on the block, heads, and such.

Maybe details of the engine build as well as a dyno sheet.


Maybe see what rear suspension is actually there, I know it's not a 3 link, looks like a standard, donor four link with donor Mustang coils from the one vague picture posted.

Of course the seller (owner) has already told the broker (SGB) that he is not an expert, which makes me wonder if the car is everything the original selling dealer said it was, now regurgitated in the current for sale ad on Ebay.

Anyone else see things I may have missed in my quick perusal of the current auction listing?

The ad says 4-link, but I have no clue if that's better than a 3-link. Usually 4 is better than 3. And 1 is the loneliest number.

You're probably out of popcorn because you spend too much time at Petco buying products for all your cats.

Well, I went through every pic and here are my observations in no particular order. These are just things that popped to me as if I was looking at the car.

BFG Tyres
Where's the expansion tank? (maybe I missed it)
Engine looks tucked way too far back into the firewall
Firewall in general
Pusher fans?
HUGE (long) quick jack extensions (not sure what's going on there)
Wheels
Shifter setup
Return springs for the carb? (maybe missed something, I see the one spring)
Oil pan needs to go to a Disco Party
Ribbed block says it's an OTC service block

I'm sure I will get slammed for some of this. Just my own thoughts...

Not sure why. I thought you were being a little too kind. It's a nice enough car, but I don't see anything that would put it over the $25,000 mark. I'm no expert though.
