1966 Mustang GT Fastback K-Code ( 289 Hipo) @Fabulous Fords Forever 2018

1966 Mustang GT Fastback K-Code ( 289 Hipo) @Fabulous Fords Forever 2018 . The same owner , Lionel, has owner the car for over 20 years and has done a great job on keeping this rare pony in fine shape. The K code was the hottest Mustang for 1965-6 short of a Shelby GT350. The K code Mustangs are being appreciated now more than ever and this is a great example.

Rare and nice car. I grew up riding in my grandpas early 65 K code coupe non GT. 4 speed car. 3.89s. in Silver Smoke Gray. After my grandpas passing a few years ago, I took ownership of something so special and found the original door tag in a folder he’s always had.

[@jaustill237]

Gorgeous. Love that color combination.

[@dkevvv]

I had the K-code 289 Hipo convertible with the 3 speed in the 70's, very rare,,,,, wish I could find it.

[@Buckswoodshop]

Not usually a fan of black color cars, but the red interior and red stripe is a nice combination.

[@MustangConnection1]

Hey Matthew, Yes it makes for a great combo indeed. Love this car.

[@paultucker1272]

That is a gorgeous example!

[@MustangConnection1]

Paul, Yes for sure and even some stealthy mods.

[@Mike583]

Just a beautiful car!!! I had a 65 coupe,factory hipo.These cars also came with 9in.rear quicker ratio steering box,almost felt like power steering.Bought it for $650 in 1970!!! Sold it later on,heard guy tore it up,put car in demolition derby!!! Man i hate to think what it would be worth 2day if I'd kept it!!!

[@MustangConnection1]

Robert, I know they are very hard to come by these days, fingers crossed that guy didn't smash it up way back when. The K code coupes are the stealthiest of the bunch for sure.

[@stevehall6539]

That is gorgeous , nicest one I've seen in a long time

[@MustangConnection1]

You rarely see K codes any more in any condition at shows, nice to see a long time owner sharing a great car. Thanks for watching!

[@huck01955]

[@MustangConnection1]

Wow a triple Very from Joe, hahaha, Thanks for watching!

[@Rarerat]

[@MustangConnection1]

I like the fact he has kept it all of this time and drives it, maybe not as much but still a cool story.

[@johnadams9044]

Looks like someone is skilled in welding in new piece of steel.

[@z_channel_3334]

Awesome car, really makes me want to get started on restoring our 65 Fairlane 500 K Code

[@MustangConnection1]

Should do! K cars are awesome!

[@RustyGlovebox]

A great car and a really special find.

[@MustangConnection1]

Agreed Lloyd, good to see some one actually have resisted the temptation to sell too now that the market is taking off.

[@mcfast52]

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks John, Keep watching more to come and spread the word please!

[@TMAN0950]

Love it Rich, thanks

[@MustangConnection1]

Thanks for checking it out Terry.

[@timhuggins7069]

When Younger generations, not familiar with the 65 fastback, see the fold down back seat they think its a hatchback.

[@dinorossi6611]

I know of one in an old lady's ownership here in CA

[@edcain3676]

Color Combo & Condition Truly A Rare & Appreciated K Code.Saw A Caspian Blue 65 Pre - GT, Fastback on U Tube Yesterday That Was Only Missing the Solid Lifters & 3.89. Rear Gears, That Was Beautiful ,Also,In Texas.The 65 & 66 Fastbacks & K Codes,Especially the Rare Color Ones Are Really Increasing in Value & Will Always Be Cherished,Like This Gentleman Sure Has Done.Only Option I Don't See is the Ralley Pac Tach.

[@MustangConnection1]

I would love to get the chance at a real K code Fastback again, they seem to be getting out of reach now.

[@edcain3676]

MustangConnection1 :There Was One in N.Y.@ We Be Autos ,W/ Less than 9,000 Miles ,Asking Price Was $139,900,Pretty Recent Video on U Tube.

[@MustangConnection1]

Wow Ed, that is nuts ! Can't see that kinda money for 65 Fastback K-code or not.

[@ryanmuir6338]

735 cfm is a 428cj carb, 66 Shelby had a 715. I have a 70 428cj with a/t manual choke Autolite/Holley carb on the shelf.

[@gunner72450]

I need help please... I need a 67 or 68 K code fastback... need everything except the engine. I have a 351 Cleveland that I wanna drop in. Paint doesn't matter just rust and dent free. Would like the 9in rear with 5 speed. Wife wrecked my truck and the Fastback has always been my dreamcar... ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!

[@expeditionbase9820]

Have you ever heard of the book "The 289 high performance mustangs by Tony Gregory? I know there are no records for 65 / 66 mustangs. How does this book claim to have production numbers for K codes?

[@MustangConnection1]

There are production numbers as a whole for nearly all years of Fords. There is no specific information, I.e. a Marti report that can take the vin and give you the exact equipment the car came with originally. Those records are only available from 1967 and up. That being said the Mustang Red Book is another source that has all of the production totals for 65-6 cars.

[@expeditionbase9820]

@@MustangConnection1 There is a video on here of a guy claiming to have a 66 k code fastback that according to that book is 1 of 1. He wants 140k for it lol.

[@josephpercel8802]

Dude ain't got no shoes!

[@dwilliams8365]

Could not get power disc brakes - disc brakes came with GT package-no connection with K code -This car has after market wheels and no disc brake pad on brake- cost almost nothing to add- typical buyer
