  • I recently purchased a 1966 GT K Code Coupe from a man in Northeast Texas. I was unaware at the time of the GT Package, and wasn't sure until I actually started tearing the car apart that it was a GT Package car. I have not taken many pictures of it yet, and finally got it up off the ground yesterday, so I could start on the underbody. But none the less, all of the GT indicators are there, fog light holes, rally pack ring on the steering column, GT badge holes on the fender (body fillered over).


    I should have some pictures in the upcoming weeks of the progress, as I am anticipating a 4 year restoration. Thanks for any advice you guys can give me, and oh yeah, the VIN is 6R07K117304. Originally Wimbledon White, Blue/White Pony, Hazards, and YES!!!... factory C4, with power steering and 3.89 Limited Slip. Somebody ordered a HIPO with PS!!

  • Welcome to the site Mark you will find this site a great help as you restore your car.No power steering on hipo kars, but a rare c-4 is a nice find.

  • Power steering was available as an over the counter kit or dealer installed, just not factory installed.
