How many of you have been honest when a fellow car enthusiast needs your help?
This morning, a clerk at one of my accounts came up to me and asked if I knew anything about Mustangs? He knew I owned one, and I knew he was a car enthusiast as well. Anyway I told him I knew a little, and asked what was it he wanted to know?
He asked, "What's a K-code?" and "Would $5k be to much for one. He proceeded to tell me a friend of his, is selling his 65 Fastback with 4spd, and a 9" rearend, which runs good and is in good condition, just needs paint. His friend told him that it was a K-code and that he has had it since he was 15.
I wanted to tell him, that was way to much money, and a "K" code is just one step above a 6 cylinder Mustang. And for that kind of money he could buy a much harder to come by "C" code.
But.... then this honesty thing kind of took over, and before I knew it, I had told him to grab it while he can. I did offer him $7500 for it sight unseen, as long as things match up for a real "K" code. But he politely refused.
As we talked some more about mustangs, I found out another friend of his has a 67 "390" fastback that he had completely restored and then lost control of it one day and wrecked it into a center divider. He did say he would find out some more info on it, and get back to me if I'm interested in it. It's not a "k" code but I regret the day I let a 67 GTA "S" code with deluxe interior go. So maybe this might work out after all. Just got to figure out how to tell the SWMBO
