Here's a nice looking 1964 Comet Cyclone that <b>SOLD</b> for a hefty $19,500. Although there is a K code in the VIN, it doesn't actually denote the 289 HiPo. For some reason, Mercury used the K code in 1964 to designate a <i>low compresssion</i> 4 bbl 289 that used regular fuel. This is the <i>same</i> engine Mustang used in the short-lived "D" code option. Judging by the high dollars bid on this car, the bidders probably believed this car is a real 289 HiPo. Unfortunately, these "LoPo" K code Mercs have been confusing car collectors for many years...
