SOLD, what I believe is the original driveshaft from 6S383 from my ownership dating back ~25 years. When I purchased the car through my sale it had a T5Z conversion. The original transmission, crossmember etc. were shipped with the car when I sold it a few years ago. 2 weeks ago when in my garage attic I discovered the driveshaft. I believe it is original to this late '65 built car. At some point it was painted black. Included is the yoke and U-joints. I'm in Laplata, MD 20646 and am close to Northern Virginia, etc.. I'll also be headed north to Erie, PA in 2 weeks if that helps. Due to the size/weight I doubt this is worth shipping.. How about $200 and I can meet a reasonable distance.. I'll try to get some pics up here or ping me: jknott@erols.com thanks

Measuring the the driveshaft from middle of Ujoint yoke to other end middle of drive shaft yoke will determine if it is from a hipo or not. With that said the the internal clip front and rear yoke (65/66 Mustang)are hard to find in usable condition .67-73 are external clip.

Hi, yes, while its hard to determine centers with the U-joints installed, measuring inside to outside, or outside to inside of the holes looks to be the correct ~49 23/32" / 49 3/4" length. The diameter (through the buildup and paint) is right at 2.754" in my 93 degree garage...
I hadn't thought about the retaining "C" (??) clips but just now looking at them, they are on the inside -vs- what I remember of my GT500/BOSS/CJ cars with the clips being more accessible on the outside of the U-joint cups.
I'll try to get better pics up here but hard to hold and look at both ends of the tape measure at the same time by myself.. LOL
thanks!....
