Vehicle Description
Stunning 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback K-Code brought to you by Zoom
Classic Cars. This no-expense spared, 2-year full rotisserie
restoration 1965 Mustang K-Code Fastback is an absolutely
breathtaking example of the Pony-Car era showcasing the Ford Motor
Company performance peak of a dealer-ordered car in the day.
Assembled in Dearborn, Michigan, on December 22, 1964 it was
delivered to a distribution sales office in Buffalo, New York, for
its new owner. Glowing in J-Code Rangoon Red gloss with a
complimenting standard black vinyl bucket seat interior, this
4-speed model was motivated by a 289ci High Performance V-8.In June
1964, Ford introduced the 289 CI High-Performance V-8 as a Mustang
option. A mechanical lifter camshaft, higher compression ratio and
a bigger carburetor pumped 271 HP from the HiPo version of the 289,
a notable increase over the standard V-8's 210 HP. A letter K in
the Mustang's VIN designated this option, so HiPo-equipped Mustangs
came to be known as K-code cars. The HiPo 289 was available with
the GT Equipment Group when it was introduced on the Mustang's
first anniversary in April 1965. This particular car's December
1964 build date means it was ordered BEFORE the GT option existed,
making it quite rare and differentiating it from the actual GT
Production cars. When the HiPo 289 was specified, it came with
other mandatory equipment, including a 4-speed manual transmission,
a 9-inch rear end and a heavy-duty suspension. The 9-inch rear in
this car has 4.11 gears and a limited-slip differential. The
optional disc brakes add to the car's performance profile
complimented by a set of 14-inch styled steel wheels, hubcaps and
redline tires, upgraded to a radial version for even better road
handling in today's world. Below are the highlights of the car in
