racing stripes Magnum 500-style wheels Tidy�undercarriage�with dual
GT exhaust Looking for a mid-60s Shelby Mustang GT350 that you can
actually drive and enjoy? Here at MotoeXotica Classic Cars, we have
the closest thing, a factory Ford High Performance K-Code 1966
Mustang Fastback that has been updated to a Shelby GT-350 replica.
Assembled at Ford's San Jose, California factory on March 24, 1966,
this example left the factory finished in Wimbledon White and Black
interior and was initially delivered to the Richmond, Virginia
region. Finished in factory correct Wimbledon White�(code M) with
blue racing stripes, this car's paint and trim is in overall
excellent condition. The windshield and other windows are clear and
intact. The headlights and other vehicle lights are haze-free and
in one piece. This Shelby Pony rolls on Dunlop radials, size
215/60R14 at all four corners, and surrounding Magnum 500-style
wheels. The tires and wheels present well, with minimal scuffing or
pitting. All of its body panels are straight and solid, its bumpers
look great especially the GT-350 front bumper, the engine bay is
quite tidy and the trunk is in good order, complete with a
full-sized spare tire. The Shelby rear-quarter windows replace the
Silent-Flo ventilation panels found on other regular fastback
Mustangs. Under the racing hood is a 289 CID "Hi-Po" V-8 engine
(code K) with a four-barrel carburetor, Shelby intake manifold and
dual exhausts. This engine is mated to a four-speed manual
transmission. We have confirmed that the block is no longer the
original numbers matching unit and was replaced with a standard 289
block but fortunately the heads are still the original high output
correct K-code heads. This engine currently still has excellent
high rpm performance and really makes this fastback feel like a
real deal GT-350! Open the driver's door and the black interior
(code 26) greets you. The front buckets and rear demi-buckets are
in very good condition while the matching black carpet is in
overall good order, as is the car's headliner. The black instrument
panel is in one piece and looks good. A Cobra tachometer is perched
atop the dash, canted slightly toward the driver. A three-spoke rim
blow wood steering wheel faces the driver and it is in excellent
shape. The black inner door panels look very good, the mirror glass
is in good order, as is the shifter. Rounding out the interior is
an AM/FM stereo with cassette deck. A high-performance version of
the 289 was introduced late in the 1963 model year as a special
order for Ford Fairlanes. The engine is informally known as the
Hi-Po or the K-code' (after the engine letter used in the�VIN�of
cars so equipped). Starting in June 1964, it became an option for
the Mustang. Carroll Shelby�used the Hi-Po engine in modified form
for the 1965-1967�Shelby GT350, using special exhaust headers, an
aluminum intake manifold and a larger carburetor. The Shelby engine
also had a larger oil pan with baffles to reduce oil starvation in
hard cornering. Shelby also replaced the internal front press-in
oil gallery plugs with a screw-in type plug to reduce chances of
failure. Competition to this Shelby in 1966 included Dodge's Dart,
Mercury's Cougar and Plymouth's Barracuda. This car is currently
located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on
the odometer shows 61,252 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a
clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! Click
