We are very excited to offer you one of the most sought after
Mustangs ever produced!� A Genuine, factory original 1966 Mustang
GT K-code 289ci V8- 271hp Hi-Po coupe!� It comes finished in code
correct Tahoe Turquoise Metallic with Light Aqua & White Pony
interior with Black vinyl top.� There was only 5,469 K-codes
produced in 1966, which includes the convertible and fastback
form.� When you bear in mind the fact that only a very limited
number of the ultra-rare K codes were equipped with the
P10-designated GT Package from the factory, it makes this a very
unique investment opportunity! The engine and trunk compartments
are clean and well-detailed. More importantly, the factory original
door data tag and VIN plate is affixed to the driver�s door where
it was put at the factory�50 years ago. It has never been removed,
swapped to another door, or replaced with a reproduction tag. �The
VIN stamps are clearly visible on the driver inner fender well. �It
received only one repaint in June 1984 to the exterior only to all
original body panels!� It has never had any rust, and the only body
panel replacement is the driver side rear quarter panel because of
large dent.� The paint found under the hood, door & truck jams
remain factory original.� Interior is beautiful remaining all
original with exception to new front seat covers that were replaced
in the early 1980�s.� Better still, it starts, runs, drives, and
performs excellently in all respects.� Pulling clean and strong
through all 4 gears, and putting the power down through the correct
3.50:1 limited-slip geared 9" rear end, this little car will run
proudly against much larger cars of the day! The Decoded Vehicle
Identification Plate on the driver�s door is again unaltered and is
the original plate that matches the casting number on the engine
block and the VIN stamped under the hood. Warranty Number:

history of this car is completely documented from brand new! It
began as a special order for a Ford mechanic located at
Thompson-Fauskee Ford based in Santa Barbara, CA.� It was ordered
with a host of options, and a few dealer installed features after
it was delivered on April 21, 1966, just 10 days after it was
built.� Factory options included GT Equipment, Hi-Po 271hp engine,
limited-slip differential, red band nylon tires, interior d�cor
group, deluxe seats front & rear, AM radio, tinted windshield,
hazard switch, 2-speed wipers, styled steel wheels, and Rally Pac
tachometer & clock.� Dealer installed accessories included a Ford
Studio Sonic Sound System with rear speaker & reverb box mounted in
the trunk, vinyl roof, rubber floor mats, and a hood safety lock to
prevent anyone from opening the hood once the car was locked.� This
original owner enjoyed driving and maintaining it before parting
ways to the second owner in April of 1969.� This new Santa Clara,
CA owner meticulously accounted for every mile, service, gas fill
up, and gas mileage in a small notebook for the next 17 years!�
Incredible!� It was then sold in 1986 to a Fresno, CA airline pilot
who cared for it 14 years until selling to a childhood friend in
June of 2000.� Only these 4 owners account for this beautifully
survived K-code Coupe nearly its entire life until it passed on to
its most recent collector in August 2014!� Five total owners from
new!� It was said to have been raced some by the original mechanic
owner on weekends early on, but we stress that it was never abused
or altered from new. The only replacement items on the car include
the radiator (original included), fuel pump (original included),
wheel trim rings, brakes, valve covers (originals included), and a
few other wearable items.� The original carburetor was rebuilt by
Pony Carbs.� The double redline tires are brand new having only a
few hundred miles on them.� Always meticulously maintained! Each
K-Code Mustang had a special badge on their front fenders that read
�HIGH PERFORMANCE 289�. No doubt about it, the K-Code Mustang was
all about performance and was not available with air conditioning
or power steering.� And you couldn�t buy one with an automatic
transmission until the 1966 model year.� Prior to that, all K-Code
Mustangs were 4-speeds only.� The engines included upgraded
pistons, cylinder heads, Autolite 4100 carburetor, solid lifters &
cam, special crank, connecting rods, exhaust manifolds, and more!�
In addition, one look under the hood and you�d notice the chrome
air cleaner and valve covers.� Hiding behind the engine lays a
high-performance clutch; heavy duty driveshaft, 9� rear
differential, and suspension.� With an advertised 271hp at its
disposal, it was easy to tell this car from other 289 powered
Mustangs of the day.� The GT Package also had some serious
hardware, namely a 16:1 quick ratio steering box, front disc
brakes, heavy duty suspension, springs, shocks and sway bar, GT
ornamentation, fog lights, and trumpeted dual exhaust coming
through the rear valance panel.� This particular "K-car" is truly
spectacular and among the best driver examples you will find.� All
proper original K-code items are present and accounted for, another
rarity.� The optional 8,000 RPM Rally Pac gauges are original and
still operational. These days collectors of the Ford Mustang look
back fondly on the K-Code. Unfortunately, only a limited number of
these cars were manufactured.� As such, they are highly sought
after!� This particular car is registered in the K-code registry
and comes complete with all original tire changing equipment in the
trunk, the original window sticker from Thompson-Fauskee Ford,
original California black plates & dealer frame, written ownership
documentation, service records, and registration documentation.�
Please feel welcome to call with additional questions or in person
inspections.� We look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
