Topic: Original Sales Receipt for 5T07C197813 available

[hopeto]

I know this is a longshot, but if you own 5T07C197813 then I have your original sales receipt. Show me you own it and I'll send you this.
I purchased a 65 K Code from Ed Schan shortly before he passed a couple of years ago. His widow, Barb, recently mailed me this thinking it was the receipt for the K. It turned out to be for a 65 Coupe 289 C Code that Ed had purchased new in August of 65 and traded in his 1960 Triumph TR3 Roadster. Ed lived in Matawan, NJ at the time and bought the car from Sayre-Wood Auto in South Amboy, NJ.
If this ride is still out there let me know.

Neat!  I wish I could find one for mine!  Hopefully you will find the owner.

I'll give you $2600 for that 65 'Stang!...If you can find it, I'll find the dough!

I'd keep the Triumph though if it were me...that's not enough trade in value on a TR-3

I remember looking at a '59 TR-3 in 1963 and they wanted $1600 for it. I bought a '60 Ford Starliner instead for $1400.

Nice to be reminded of the straight forward simplicity of a 'major transaction'.  Brian

Today's price on a similar "no frills" Mustang V-6 roughly at 10 times the list price...Would that translate to like $721/month too?

I'm not sure if "We the People" are all collectively earning 10 times the wages of 1965 nationally, are we?

$72.10 in 1965 had the same buying power as $542.63 in 2015.

Here's my 65 GT Fastback's paperwork. I also have the original owners manual.

More great records Jim! Oh, how I wish I had something (anything) for ours. Would have to be the biggest wish for ours I have, other than the complete restoration it needs someday. When I bought it from a secretary I worked with and her husband in '87, it was a very complete, low mileage car but very neglected. They had had it 18 years and had "almost" literally bought it from a "little old lady in Pasadena." I think it may have actually been Glendale. Nothing survived, document-wise, and being a San Jose car, no build sheet when I pulled up the original carpet, or when I replaced the emergency switch and missing glove box, looked around thoroughly under the dash and wire clusters, hoping like crazy to find anything....oh well. Sure has been a great car all these years. Fun & learning about these cars I would never exchange for anything...

I got excited when I read this, because my silver blue 65 coupe has the exact same options.  Alas, my serial number is a little earlier -- 5T07C184833.
