    It was discussed here in length about the double vin stamping on this car.I defended the story of a factory mistake of the car starting out with a 09 in the vin number and they corrected it with a new vin with 07 for a coupe.Well it seems that same mistake happened with another 66 San Jose car and the correction is just like mine with the V for void at the old number and the new number being in larger letters.This other car is on ebay,item number 160394359749.I spoke with its original owner who swears his has never had any damage.I am attaching a vin picture of his car which is 3000 miles from mine.So now what do you folks think?[Blocked Image: http://i45.tinypic.com/25k5u7l.jpg]

    This is the car I looked at in Denver about 18 years ago

    and it was painted white at that time and had a 6R09K number

    that didn't match the car. The trans had the 6R07K number on it.

    I was pretty sure at that time this car had a new front clip.

    The 6R09K number was stamped at Ford but the R07K number

    looked like it was home made. Don't remember if I looked under the left and right fenders for the number. Still have copies of the

    original documentation from the Dealer in Pasadena, CA and this car

    had a dealer installed A/C, Rally Pac and console removed (due to A/C). The owner asked $12,000 for it and it was registered in Arizona at that time which together with the serial number problem

    made me stay away from the car. Sad, because it was a very nice car.

    /Bo

    I own this car now and it is a very nice car.The only thing sad is people like you guessing it recieved a front clip,which puts a black cloud over the car.If you read the above post in which I have discovered another San jose 66 which got the same exact restamping vin size due to a mistake on the assembly line.Yes,it looks homemade,but 2 cars from the same factory with the same larger letters?

    Sorry Blown289,

    If you read my post, I said I believed it at that time

    and am sorry I didn't buy it. Now after your explanation

    it's preety clear it was a mistake. By the way, which numbers

    are stamped hidden by the fenders, 6R07K or 6R09K?

    Finally, if I don't recall wrong your car had a different unit number

    between the two while the other one has the same. Only the engine code is different. As said I was worried that I would have had problems getting it registered in Colorado with two numbers

    visable. Now I know I should have bought it.

    Again sorry,

    /Bo

    All 3 vin numbers are identical with both stampings in each spot being the 6R09K and 6R07K.Meaning the hidden vins are corrected the same way.The engine and trans are stamped with the 6R07 number.

    Unless I am reading the dealer paperwork and the window sticker wrong, this Kar did not begin life as a GT.

    Fred,

    He states in the description that he added the GT items and the disc brakes.

    Nice Kar but I can't imagine the reserve being much higher

    Mike, You are correct on the fact that the seller did state that they added the GT and disc brakes. I thought that I had seen that earlier but when I looked at it before I posted my comment, I just missed that statement.


    As of this writing the Kar has already been bid to $32,500 and it has met reserve.

    I am the seller of this Kar and happy with the price.I recieved the deposit from the buyer and he is to pick up the car next week.So its almost sold,but I think he should be happy with it.

    That is my neck of the woods. Know what town ? I will have to ask around and keep my eyes open at the shows.So far I have seen only one K car on the Island and he was from Connecticut.


    mike

    I am further out on the Island (35 miles) but if he takes it to a cruise night or show I will see it as I go to most. Maybe he will join the local mustang club. Would love to see the kar in person.
