<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>OWNER HISTORY: The current owner’s husband purchased this low mileage, rare, K-Code “HiPo” coupe, in 2006. He recently passed away and his wife does not drive a manual, so this very nice, solid “HiPo” Mustang is ready for a new owner to enjoy. Prior to listing for sale we replaced a rusted wheel cylinder, installed a new ammeter, replaced the temperature sender, and freed up a sticking choke cable. The gas tank was removed and refreshed by the current owner a couple of years ago.
VEHICLE HISTORY: There is no “Marti Report” available for Mustangs produced prior to 1967, so we have to do some educated guessing about the history of this particular low mileage “HiPo” Mustang. We believe the car is an original “K” code Mustang since the inner fender VIN stamping number matches the door mounted Warranty Plate stamped VIN. The low mileage appears to be original based upon: 1) the Ohio title states “Actual” miles, and 2) the underneath is very solid with evidence of the factory brown primer on parts of the floors. Our guess is the car was driven very little before it was parked for an extended period somewhere out West in a relatively dry climate (San Jose, CA assembly plant & Los Angeles district sales office). It must have sat outside exposed to the elements for a long time and the cosmetics deteriorated enough that it required a restoration. Further proof is the Deluxe steering wheel that is sun/heat damaged and was not replaced during the restoration, but just had a steering wheel cover on it to hide the damage.
Some time in the mid to late 1990s it was likely rescued from the elements and a cosmetic restoration was performed. We are guessing mid to late 1990s because the existing tires are date coded 1998. It was repainted in the original Dark Green Metallic color, the upholstery was redone with the original style “woven” vinyl panels, the head liner and carpets were replaced, all the trim was either restored or replaced, and the engine was removed and repainted along with the engine compartment.
During the restoration a GT front grille (that includes fog lights) was installed, along with a non-original Hurst shifter. There is no documentation to verify all the existing options were factory original, such as the Rally-Pac, styled steel wheels, full center console, and tinted glass, but they are now on the car and certainly add to its appeal!
