1966 Ford Mustang GT K-Code Fastback - HiPo 289 4-Speed
The fourth longest continuous production model in American
automotive history, the Mustang was first introduced in 1964 and
created an entirely new class of automobile: the Pony Car. Designed
to deliver affordable, compact, and highly styled coupes and
convertibles to a generation of younger buyers, the Pony Car
category proved an immediate runaway hit - and the Mustang stood
out as the undisputed leader in popularity, defining the segment so
completely that its name became synonymous with the entire
class.
This 1966 Mustang GT Fastback represents the absolute definition of
Mustang power, performance, and design. The result of a
comprehensive frame-off restoration completed in 2021, this car is
impeccable from top to bottom - exactly the kind of fresh, properly
executed build that knowledgeable Mustang collectors seek out.
Every panel, every surface, every detail reflects the care invested
in returning this Fastback to better-than-new condition.
Power comes from the date code correct HiPo 289ci/271hp V8 - better
known to enthusiasts as the legendary K-Code - tied to a proper
4-speed manual transmission. The K-Code package represents the
pinnacle of first-generation Mustang performance, with the
high-output 289 featuring solid lifters, a hotter cam, screw-in
rocker studs, and a host of other heavy-duty internals that allowed
Ford to advertise the 271 horsepower rating with confidence. Paired
with a 3.50 rear end and front disc brakes, this K-Code Fastback is
an absolute rocket and a genuine joy to drive - properly quick,
properly nimble, and possessing the kind of soundtrack that no
modern Mustang can replicate.
Inside, the striking red exterior color is carried through into a
completely restored interior. Bucket seats with center console
feature the desirable Pony interior trim - a meaningful upgrade
that elevates the cabin above what a standard GT delivers, with
embossed running horses across the seatbacks that turn an already
great interior into something genuinely special.
Equipped with the highly sought-after Rally Pac (combining
tachometer and clock), proper Rally wheels, and factory fog lamps,
this Mustang checks every box on the K-Code enthusiast's wish
list.
Come see this exceptional K-Code Fastback at Motor City Classic
Cars in Vero Beach, FL.
