    The Good:

    1965 Mustang HI-PO K Code 289, 271 HP Original Factory Matching Numbers!

    All 65 Mustangs on the road are head turners, but this one stands out. Wherever I go—a gas station, a classic car meet—it draws a crowd. People consistently tell me how nice the car is and how great it looks (see photos). Then they want to hear all about it.

    **Restoration & Mileage:**

    8-year-old restoration with less than 2,000 miles since completion. The car has carried Antique tags for the full 8 years (Texas limits annual mileage with these tags to 100 miles).

    **Maintenance & Recent Work:**

    - Oil changed every 6 months; last change was last week

    - Rebuilt 4100 Autolite carburetor (set at neutral; may need adjustment for your area)

    - Fresh battery, starter, alternator, and fuel pump (originals were 8 years old—I wanted everything current)

    **Condition & Verification:**

    The car runs and drives great. If you'd like a driving video, contact me and I'll send one.

    The Mustang is a numbers-matching car based on casting and assembly dates. I have photos of the engine. The factory 4-speed Top loader transmission & The rear end casting & Build Date numbers would require removal to verify, but I was assured by A & E Classics, LLC that all dates matched when I purchased the car.

    Ford factory Rally Pack included: Clock (non-functional), AM Radio (non-functional), and Owner's manual (unfilled).

    **Technical Specifications:**

    VIN: 5F07K639387

    Engine Block: C5AE-6O15E

    - Casting Date: 3B5

    - Assembly Date: 6B5

    - Heads: Driver's Side 19, Passenger's Side 20

    Data Plate:

    - Body: 65A (Model Year 1965, 2-Door Hardtop, Standard Bucket Seats)

    - Color: 3 (Exterior: Poppy Red)

    - Trim: 26 (Interior: Black Vinyl)

    - Date: 23B (Assembly: 23 February)

    - DSO: 31 (Cincinnati)

    - Axle: 5 (Rear Axle: 3.50:1)

    - Trans: 5 (4-Speed Manual)

    - Engine: 289 Cu. In. V8, 4 bbl., Hi-Performance

    Assembly Plant: Dearborn, MI

    Unit #: 539387

    **Additional Photos:**

    I have more photos available. If you'd like to see something specific or want additional shots, just contact me and I'll send them over.

    ** Note **

    I uploaded a walk around video if it's not showing in the photo gallery, contact me and I will send it to you.

    The battery is not a Ford AutoLite battery. What is shown is a plastic cover which goes over whatever brand battery to make it appear to be a AutoLite Battery

    The Bad:

    The restoration is sound and presents very well. With under 2,000 miles since completion and eight years of storage and light use, the car shows some cosmetic aging in the following areas:

    PAINT: The paint is starting to show its age. It has some small paint chips that for the most part don't jump out at you, however you will notice them when hand washing the car. There are three areas where the paint has started to bubble. Again, they are not immediately obvious, but you will notice them during close inspection or when washing.

    CHROME: The chrome is starting to show its age. It has light scratches on the rear bumper that show when sunlight hits it. The rear bumper guards (above exhaust pipes) show pitting and some rust spots.

    WHEELS: The mag wheel centers appear fine, however the outer portion of the rim has some rust. The painted part of the rim is staring to break down and there is some flaking in some areas (no two wheels have the same issue in the same place).

    VALVE COVERS: The valve covers show light to moderate scratches at the front.

    ENGINE: The engine has an intermittent oil leak in the oil pan area. I have not identified the specific source and have never needed to add oil between oil changes.

    ---

    Photos are a major part of the description please review them. If you want additional photos of the areas described here, just contact me and I will send them to you.

    As stated, the car presents very well overall. I have done my best to describe both the good and the bad based on my personal experience owning and driving this car for the past eight years.

    **The car is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.** I strongly recommend having a trusted mechanic or inspector evaluate the car before purchase. This is always a prudent approach when buying any used vehicle.

    1965 Ford Mustang Coupe K-Code High Performance 289 4-Speed


    A standout from Ford s early Mustang lineup, this 1965 Ford Mustang Coupe K-Code High Performance 289 4-Speed, finished in its factory Poppy Red (3) exterior color over a Black interior. As an early example from the Mustang s first full model year, this car combines the classic styling of the original Mustang with the desirable K-Code High Performance 289 V8 and a 4-speed manual transmission. The combination of its factory color combination, performance-oriented equipment, and unmistakable early Mustang styling makes it an appealing example of Ford s original pony car formula.

    Highlights:
    - Factory Color: Poppy Red (3)
    - Interior Color: Black
    - 289ci HiPo V8 271 HP (K-Code)
    - 4-Speed Manual Transmission
    - Front Wheel Disc Brakes w/ Wilwood Calipers
    - 4-Barrel Carburetor
    - Rally-Pac Gauge
    - Chrome Trim
    - Chrome Bumpers
    - 14-Inch Styled Steel Wheels
    - Jack and Spare Tire Included

    Power comes from a 289ci High Performance V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The K-Code engine was Ford s high-performance version of the 289, rated at 271 horsepower when new. This Mustang is also equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor, front-wheel disc brakes with Wilwood calipers, and 14-inch styled steel wheels wrapped in Cooper Trendsetter thin whitewall tires. The exterior retains the familiar early Mustang appearance with chrome trim and bumpers, Mustang script emblems, running horse badges, and High Performance 289 fender emblems.

    Inside, the cabin features front bucket seats, a rear bench seat, lap belts, a three-spoke steering wheel, and the early-style horizontal 120-mph speedometer cluster. A steering-column-mounted Rally-Pac adds a tachometer and clock, while dual-side rearview mirrors and a push-button radio complete the interior equipment. Additional equipment includes a jack and spare tire in the trunk.

    When Ford introduced the Mustang in April 1964, it quickly attracted attention for its combination of sporty styling, compact dimensions, and accessible pricing. More than 22,000 orders were placed on the first day, helping establish the Mustang as a major success for Ford. The 1965 model continued that momentum while offering the K-Code High Performance 289 for buyers looking for additional performance from the Mustang s V8 lineup.

    With its Poppy Red exterior, 4-speed manual transmission, K-Code 289 V8, and period-correct styling details, this Mustang offers a great opportunity to own an early example of one of Ford s most recognizable performance cars. This highly desirable Ford Mustang Coupe K-Code is mechanically sound. For $46,500
