A Genuine, factory original 1966 MustangGT K-code 289ci V8- 271hp Hi-Po coupe! It comes finished in codecorrect Tahoe Turquoise Metallic with Light Aqua & White Ponyinterior with Black vinyl top. There was only 5,469 K-codesproduced in 1966, which includes the convertible and fastbackform. When you bear in mind the fact that only a very limitednumber of the ultra-rare K codes were equipped with theP10-designated GT Package from the factory, it makes this a veryunique investment opportunity! The engine and trunk compartmentsare clean and well-detailed. More importantly, the factory originaldoor data tag and VIN plate is affixed to the drivers door whereit was put at the factory50 years ago. It has never been removed,swapped to another door, or replaced with a reproduction tag. TheVIN stamps are clearly visible on the driver inner fender well. Itreceived only one repaint in June 1984 to the exterior only to alloriginal body panels! It has never had any rust, and the only bodypanel replacement is the driver side rear quarter panel because oflarge dent. The paint found under the hood, door & truck jamsremain factory original. Interior is beautiful remaining alloriginal with exception to new front seat covers that were replacedin the early 1980s. Better still, it starts, runs, drives, andperforms excellently in all respects. Pulling clean and strongthrough all 4 gears, and putting the power down through the correct3.50:1 limited-slip geared 9" rear end, this little car will runproudly against much larger cars of the day! The Decoded VehicleIdentification Plate on the drivers door is again unaltered and isthe original plate that matches the casting number on the engineblock and the VIN stamped under the hood.

Itbegan as a special order for a Ford mechanic located atThompson-Fauskee Ford based in Santa Barbara, CA. It was orderedwith a host of options, and a few dealer installed features afterit was delivered on April 21, 1966, just 10 days after it wasbuilt. Factory options included GT Equipment, Hi-Po 271hp engine,limited-slip differential, red band nylon tires, interior dcorgroup, deluxe seats front & rear, AM radio, tinted windshield,hazard switch, 2-speed wipers, styled steel wheels, and Rally Pactachometer & clock. Dealer installed accessories included a FordStudio Sonic Sound System with rear speaker & reverb box mounted inthe trunk, vinyl roof, rubber floor mats, and a hood safety lock toprevent anyone from opening the hood once the car was locked. Thisoriginal owner enjoyed driving and maintaining it before partingways to the second owner in April of 1969. This new Santa Clara,CA owner meticulously accounted for every mile, service, gas fillup, and gas mileage in a small notebook for the next 17 years!Incredible! It was then sold in 1986 to a Fresno, CA airline pilotwho cared for it 14 years until selling to a childhood friend inJune of 2000. Only these 4 owners account for this beautifullysurvived K-code Coupe nearly its entire life until it passed on toits most recent collector in August 2014! Five total owners fromnew! It was said to have been raced some by the original mechanicowner on weekends early on, but we stress that it was never abusedor altered from new. The only replacement items on the car includethe radiator (original included), fuel pump (original included),wheel trim rings, brakes, valve covers (originals included), and afew other wearable items. The original carburetor was rebuilt byPony Carbs. The double redline tires are brand new having only afew hundred miles on them. Always meticulously maintained! EachK-Code Mustang had a special badge on their front fenders that readHIGH PERFORMANCE 289. No doubt about it, the K-Code Mustang wasall about performance and was not available with air conditioningor power steering. And you couldnt buy one with an automatictransmission until the 1966 model year. Prior to that, all K-CodeMustangs were 4-speeds only. The engines included upgradedpistons, cylinder heads, Autolite 4100 carburetor, solid lifters &cam, special crank, connecting rods, exhaust manifolds, and more!In addition, one look under the hood and youd notice the chromeair cleaner and valve covers. Hiding behind the engine lays ahigh-performance clutch; heavy duty driveshaft, 9 reardifferential, and suspension. With an advertised 271hp at itsdisposal, it was easy to tell this car from other 289 poweredMustangs of the day. The GT Package also had some serioushardware, namely a 16:1 quick ratio steering box, front discbrakes, heavy duty suspension, springs, shocks and sway bar, GTornamentation, fog lights, and trumpeted dual exhaust comingthrough the rear valance panel. This particular "K-car" is trulyspectacular and among the best driver examples you will find. Allproper original K-code items are present and accounted for, anotherrarity. The optional 8,000 RPM Rally Pac gauge
