WoW just heard some exciting news

My father in-law just called and said he found a 1973 bronco in good shape w/ :get this: a 65 HIPo motor out a mustang!!!!!!! For a Whopping 5 bills!!!

Man I'm having a heart attack as I am a bronco and mustang freek


He is supposed to call me with a the #'s sunday. So what is a 65' HIPO motor going for these days?

 

[allcarfan]

if its a K code 289 HIPO engine, it adds about 30% value to a classic mustang when they are 'appraised' - if its a numbers matching engine.

Doesn't add that much value to a Bronco though, unless you pull it and sell it to a Mustang guy. Most people who claim to have a 289 hypo motor don't, IMO...

 

[allcarfan]

you are really going to have to check the numbers. a 289 hipo in a bronco is kind of strange. I wouldnt be surprised if it was a 302 HO.

Well of course he did not call me last night . But, I'm going to track this guy down and try to buy this thing. And yes the motor would be pulled out to sell to someone needing this for their resto. All I have been told was it has a 289 HIPO out of a 65' mustang. Can't comfirm anything though, but I will track this guy down thats for sure.

If you're gonna yank the motor out of the Bronc, what're ya gonna do with the carcass?

I have a 71 302 that I will put in the bronco
It will be a nice addition to the family......well if I can get ahold of the guy

Yeah, it seems like every 289 out of a '65 is a hipo. They ought to start calling them hypos, as in hypothetically its a hipo.

Well it may be a mood point, just talked to my father-inlaw, he won't give me the guy phone#. He said ha is going to buy it . well hopefully his old lady will have a say and it will defualt back to me
