1966 Ford Mustang K Code 289 HIPO 4 Speed.

[@Atlanticmantic]

Anyone out there that has NEVER driving a supped up 289 engine or the HiPo 65-66 mustang do yourself a favor. Go find one and take it for a spin! These cars are SO light ( 2600-2800 pounds ) and that 289 is so QUICK to rev it really makes you say "How?" as in how can it be this quick! These cars can do 0-60 in 5 seconds! They did this IN 1965! Think about this When tested, the 1969 Camaro RS Z28 recorded a competitive 0-60 time of 7.4 seconds and that was thought to be quick. These early Mustangs were unique and something special.

[@stevemcentee2880]

They were fast. I raced a 289 one year back in 70.It WAS quick.

[@TreyGoose]

I have 67 289 project. Engine is rebuilt with a mild cam, headers.and intake. I never drove it yet it's getting the maintenance updated on it. The guy started it up before I bought it and it sounded a like a hot rod🤣🙈🔥🔥🔥🔥I'm definitely excited about it. He also had a 72 nova with a 383 stroker from the same shop the built the 289 in the mustang I bought. Very good shop in town.

[@alfredgarati9423]

Very nice vedio , i have one question , did i miss seeing inside the trunk , or did he not show it ?

[@shadowsearcy]

I had one that was this exact car minus the 289 HiPo but I built one for it, using all of the important parts such as a windage tray, chrome molybdenum oil pump driveshaft, forged flat top pistons, crower camshaft, dual point distributor, headers & the same aluminum intake manifold. The cylinder heads were rough pointed and screw-in rocker studs were installed. Weighing in at about 3100 pounds, it could hold its own with many 327 Chevys. It was backed by a C4 transmission and 3.50 gears.

[@freakindawgen]

Had a 65 coupe 289 650 double pumper solid lift cam headers 4-speed and 4,63 rear gears. Extremely quick, barely had time to shift.

[@peterhulse1064]

Love the 289 HIPO. I never owned one but had two pals that did... those little 289s were STOUT.

[@matrox]

That color and 2 tone interior looks just😁 keen!

[@mtnman6557]

Excellent paint color on the best looking street car ever, the 66' 2+2 Mustang. Congrats; it truly is a beautiful car.

[@sysvideos6337]

Man, this video brought back my ´65 Fastback, had the headers (DOUG). aluminum high-rise, dual-point, 4-Sp, HURST shifter, man ó man!!!

[@TheWallyTirado]

I love see classic cars in uncommon colors.

[@jimcook8933]

I won't lie. That thing is so gorgeous, it brought a tear to my eye!😂🤣

[@stevemcentee2880]

That is beautiful in that color. I have never seen one painted like that.

[@emmettcunninghamjr.5207]

Man! What a sweet little HIPO. Thanks 😊

[@drh-ov7eq]

Ill have a k code someday 👍👍...what a monster

[@aidenpryde50]

MY MAN!! She's beautiful and sounds good!! Super jealous right now 😂😂

[@steves9905]

i have a few very specific Mustangs that are on my bucket list...managed to get one already, but this is def another. A hipo fastback in emberglow is as awesome as it gets. the new owner will be a happy man

[@fernandochaves9665]

Fantastic, as usual. I can't imagine why the previous owner would want to sell it, it's like cutting off your own arm or leg. Enjoyed a lot the driving section... And I spotted that sweet GT on the garage.

[@michaelvaladez3012]

Nice Stang,and fun test drive my wife would never let me drive that fast on the highway.

[@mayabluenature]

Gorgeous national treasure!

[@lensalvo6105]

Too nice to drive. It’s a trailer Queen. And there’s NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT !!!

[@ricardofierro7041]

Basically there is Something Wrong With That . Cars were made to be driven. Regardless trailers are for boats . I drive my classics everywhere ( Hot Rod Power Tour ) . I wouldn’t want a car I can’t drive.

[@lensalvo6105]

@@ricardofierro7041 yes, you are correct. But, I beg to disagree. I remember an episode of Gas Monkey where their car was wrecked by an illegal alien with no license or insurance. Far too common these days…

[@billypater5287]

Friend of mine had a 66 FASTBACK MUSTANG 🐎 HIPO THING WAS fast PONY but I don't see many MUSTANGS WIT PONY INTERIOR ANYMORE USED TO BACK IN DAY NICE COLOR SWEET O YA MAN

[@donolson8328]

My fitst new car was a 66 K code 4 speed 2+2. Befour i drove it off the lot Sunny Monaco the owner of Monaco Ford in Glastonbury CT said if you ever want to sell this car come an see me first. When i joined the navy i went to the dealership an he bought it back from me.Even then henew they were the fasted Mustangs. They only made about 5000 of them.

[@MichaelMiller-bn1rw]

Love love love this car!

[@kingsanta2248]

yeah this one is 🔥... So gorgeous in red.l😍ve it

[@Just-Joe]

Very Niiice..! Maybe add a link to some engine and undercarriage shots?

[@lessharratt8719]

I can not believe ford let this car out the door without the rally pack gauges.

[@peterhulse1064]

Im hip. I guess you could restomod them in.

[@peterhulse1064]

boy that's a nice color!

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

I ❤ the Color

[@hotrodray6802]

Identical twin to my HIPO bought new Friday, 5/13/66. Biggest pos/lemon. In the shop 13 times in 10 weeks. Ford didnt fix it and told me FO. Traded for a new loaded big block Charger. 😁😁

[@c.l.7612]

Love it, what size tires are on it?

[@JohnSample-h6n]

Are the OEM exhaust manifolds and intake available with the car?

[@ricardofierro7041]

Did the oil pressure ever come up ?

[@FaithfulServant316]

Wish it was a GT model

[@snake_eyes_garage]

Until your comment, I never knew the details about how to tell a real GT or not.

[@stanf7862]

That is one nice car.

[@AmericanMustangs]

Thank you very much.

[@Johnclark300]

If I bought it, the first thing I would do is find all the original OEM parts, and take the after market bullshit off of it. I like original classic cars.

[@stevefowler2112]

Super rare to have the build sheet

[@DAuppl]

The 271 horse HiPo had solid lifters and was very noisy. This cannot be that engine. 🤔

[@edm5929]

The solid lifters were only on the Shelbys gt350 though, right ??..

[@flemingcourt]

My drool glands are red-lining.

[@stevefowler2112]

That is not a stock cam...the stock K code cam is the same profile as the A and C code cars, only solid lifter...it does not lope like that.

[@jeremyrushton8310]

How much?

[@AmericanMustangs]

Asking $75,000 negotiable. Call 304-228-4732

[@kameronmeyers3612]

$75.000 ASKING PRICE..?.. THAT'S TOO HIGH..$60.000 IS MORE REASONABLE PRICE..

[@AmericanMustangs]

@@kameronmeyers3612 it sold for asking price. You better update yourself on the current market.

[@robertclymer6948]

@@AmericanMustangs Right sir! The values on these Mustangs have sky Rocketed for sure. My 67 S-code is now worth $36,000 and it is is good shape but not like this 66 K- you are showing.

[@robertmenger3230]

this aint no secretaries car.

[@Leo-DaGreek]

Right!!or teacher like my wife V-6 New Edge,that’s a Attorney’s car/Dr/Mafia

Interior door finish should be textured, not smooth. Exhaust should exit behind valance, incorrect steering wheel plus shifter.

STOP SLAMMING THE FKN DOORS

🤣As a teen my dad was always slamming my car doors. I think he was taking it out on me. 🙂

[@johnwhitaker545]

It’s a little bit too nice

[@RtB68]

...a 10 dollar fix for the squeaky clutch - c'mon man. Simples....

[@AmericanMustangs]

It was fixed. Spring just needed some grease. Car is sold and buyer loves it.

[@clete3977]

Dude. You're breathing really heavy for a walkaround. Better get checked.

[@stevefowler2112]

Disc brakes were not an option in '66...JS

[@AmericanMustangs]

Lol yes they were. Do you’re homework. They were even available in 65.

[@robertclymer6948]

Yes they were! The 66 Gt's had them.

[@clivebrackstone1896]

How much today in dollars? Im in the uk and adore these old mustangs❤

[@billypater5287]

This really don't look like a REAL 289 HIPO GT BADGE AND FOG LIGHTS IN THE GRILL ALWAYS ON THE GT HIPO MODEL IT NOT CORRECT IN MY BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE GET IT RIGHT 😮,💋
