Topic: Original early 65 D-Code radiator and ignition

[jtj2000]

I am working on getting my Mustang up and running while home from college as I work at a body shop to make money to pay for upgrades, learn skills, etc. I have replaced the radiator and ignition and was wondering if there is any value in selling the parts I replaced. I figured that someone needing these parts to restore to concours level may need them or something, I could use the money to fund my restoration for sure. Even if not interested in the parts I would greatly appreciate any feedback as far as potential value and such. The radiator has been fixed along the years that included repairing a small gash in the screen. I can send pics once I get them out of the shop as I know that helps determine value, any feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!

 To help with a value it would help if you posted what the numbers were (engineering and date) on the radiator and what plant style it is.

Not sure what you mean by "ignition". If it is the distributor the same information would be needed since some are more valuable/in demand than others

where could I find this info? I know the car was built in Dearborn on June 22. I moved to a pertronix ignitor electronic ignition, the part I have is whatever replaced that. It has a new distributor cap and rotor and points so I would have the original parts that these replaced.  Sorry if that isn't much help but i will send pictures of everything once it has been replaced.

Since its a Dearborn car then the side strap on the drivers side. Search here can be your friend sometimes. Used "65 Dearborn radiator"

Likely not original but aftermarket/replacements. If so not much value

BTW welcome to the site. Hope you find the support and information for your back to factory restoration efforts

These parts are original, my car has been somewhat frankensteined together as it was converted to a convertible and painted red and swapped to white interior many years ago.  I will check for these codes at work tomorrow and try to take some good pictures for you guys to see, thanks!
