Mustangs, and the convertible with the K-Code HiPo 289 is king.
This was the inaugural year for the highly sought-after convertible
body, and this is a nicely restored example that has a very correct
look. It all makes this exceptional convertible in its own league
of extraordinary. Something this significant also gets its details
right. The trim is complete and brightly shining; the gaps are
tight and uniform; and the doors have a smooth and confident
action. And while K-code cars have a rarity by the handful, these
convertibles are usually not so well equipped. So it makes this
spec K-code convertible the kind of uniqueness that gets singled
out by true enthusiasts. And besides, with the GT package, correct
styled steel wheels and double redline tires coordinating with the
paint, this car is not lacking speedy style. The red/white pony
interior is arguably the most attractive package against the bold
exterior red. Factory look AM/FM radio(non-working). This has the
correct 4 speed factory stick shift. That will be your favorite
place for your right hand, and your left one will love the wood
grain classic steering wheel. Beyond that is the desirable optional
8000 RPM Rally Pac tach and clock on the steering column. As much
as you'll love the interior and exterior, it's the rare K-code HiPo
289 cubic-inch V8 under the hood that will impress even the most
fickle Mustang enthusiast. It's the motor that took home the
trophies around the globe, and so it's great to have it so well
presented here. For you numbers experts: The solid lifter engine
has the VIN 5F08K76082 stamped on the area above the aluminum
finned COBRA deep oil pan. Engine Casting numbers above the starter
are C5AE-6015E 5L8. The autolite four-barrel carburetor has tag#
C5OF J , high rise aluminum COBRA intake #S2MS 9424A. # 21 cast
iron heads, and four-speed manual toploader transmission tag #HEH
BX , Autolite distributor # C5OF 12127 E with Pertonix pointless
ignition installed. The Ford nine-inch rear end is also right for
the Hi-Po car, and it has versatile 3.50 positraction gears to give
it plenty of punch around town but still cruises reasonably at
highway speeds. You're going to really want to take a look over
every inch of this car. It shows a detailed older restoration,
right down to the clean red oxide paint underneath. It's an
impressive car. Rare opportunities like this are fleeting, and
forever regretted when missed, so call today!
