Vehicle Description
This 1965 Mustang Fastback Hi-Performance K-Code is being offered
for sale for $42,500. The very first K-Code we had here at the shop
that sold a couple of years ago, was my personal car and not even
on the market when it sold! Leave it to the folks living in Holland
to sweep it out of the States and across the pond never to be heard
from again! That was a true K-Code in poppy red. It, along with my
prized 66? Corvette were the pride and joy of my collection and
long hours bent over the hood late at night. I never thought in a
million years that they could be bought out from underneath me as
fast as they were. Two guys from Holland drop in to look at another
car I had for sale, and walked right over to the Corvette and
K-Code. I said NOT A CHANCE! THEIR NOT FOR SALE. Twenty minutes
later, I was headed to the Portland Swap meet with a shit-pot of
money! That story leads into this one. A Client's car we have
serviced a few times over the last few years. Although different
colors, everything else about the cars are the same. They are both
a bad-ass piece of machinery, seemingly putting out way more
horsepower than the 271 that they produce. This one is gorgeous
thru and thru. The details spent on painting the hard surfaces
inside stand out right away when the doors swing open. Everything
about the interior is almost perfect. What can I say, I love this
car! This is a true K-Code car, with a period correct block,
however, missing the Hi-Po heads which were replaced with Hi-Po
World product heads. The block and connecting rods all look to be
correct, with the same for the Cam.The upper end of the engine also
is missing the correct ignition as well as the carburetor.So, this
leaves us with the correct body (both vins have been inspected and
match), less the components for a complete Hi-Po 289/271 Hp k-code
engine. To close, it is a period correct block, correct crank,
pistons, and cam. All the ingredients you will need to build the
correct engine.It brings together an opportunity to buy, drive and
enjoy a perfectly good K-Code car with the exact same horsepower,
look and design of a K-Code engine, but without the cost associated
with it. Drive it now while you look for the correct heads, etc.
Please note: somewhere between 1965-2017, the 5 in the vin was
accidentally changed to a 4. Upon my client buying it, he had it
changed back. This resulted in him taking it to the State Patrol,
where they pulled the fender off, revealing the hidden Vin, which
in turn proved that it was an authentic K-Code car. The change and
date is now prominently displayed on the title. For those of you
wanting to know where the correct K-Code parts are....We don?t
know. The client bought the car thinking it was all correct, until
such time we decoded it for him. The car is in remarkable shape
from the interior to the paint job, it is extraordinary, and
extremely well care for. At $38k firm, you really won?t find a
better opportunity.The $38k firm price was snatched up within the
first 12 hours of actively listing it the first time around, and we
know it will be again. We?ve estimated it will cost someone roughly
$2,800 to put the engine together correctly. If it were me, I?d
drive the thing, then worry about buying the heads, etc. One thing
we didn?t know until we really started to decode it. The K-Code is
more sought after than an old original Shelby. This is because of
the supply and demand rule of thumb. I know that K-Codes represent
only 1% of all Mustangs ever built back in 1965. What this means to
me, is if your looking for an excellent opportunity, buy this one.
They won?t make them anymore and the list of K-Codes built will
most likely dwindle over time. We?re in no hurry to sell this car
and feel, based on its overall condition, that we are almost
underpriced. I know this for sure, if it doesn?t sell, it?s most
likely going to find its way into my personal collection. All
numbers match as a decode was performed the last time it was in for
service. Please see the decode sheet amongst the photo files The
undercarriage is as clean as you?ll get for a car that is lightly
driven The engine compartment shows the same, but without road
debris. Crisp and clean like all the engine components. The paint
shows very well in the pictures, but even better in person. There
might be 2 very small rock nicks, and that?s it. Standing there
taking photos was hard to do because of the reflection. It was like
hi-gloss black. The disc brakes on front and drum brakes on the
rear are all in excellent health and recently serviced. Tires and
wheels are the same.
