    Here are some easily noticeable issues with this Kar especially considering the high price being asked and these are items that cost quite a bit to correct:

    Carburetor is a clone

    Transmission has reproduction "C" servo which makes possible correct transmission suspect

    Undercarriage painted red which to my understanding is incorrect for a Dearborn unit

    Incorrect radiator

    Incorrect fuel pump

    1965 standard engine mount setup

    The seller does mention the GT “design elements” and Pony seats were added for that extra sizzle (it is not a factory GT)

    * Style Steel Wheels ………. all 5

    * BFG Redline radial tires …. all 5

    * GT “design elements” and Pony seats were added for that extra sizzle (it is not a factory GT)

    How rare is this ONE ?

    1966 saw 30% fewer K-codes built than in prior year 1965 with only 5,469 units being built comprising coupes, convertibles & fastbacks.

    Of that amount approximately 2,818 were “fastbacks”, 1,729 were coupes and 922 were convertibles.


    The special HiPo automatic

    1966 was the 1st year you could get an Automatic Transmission in the HiPo. This was a special beefed up unit with stronger internals to take the punishment Ford knew these cars would have to endure. HiPo transmissions are easily identified by the large “C” cast into the servo cover.

    While the exact number of K-codes with automatics is unknown, it is possible to estimate that number using statistical extrapolation.

    All that is required is a representative sample and fortunately using the “known cars” listed in the HiPo Registry we have a rather large representative sample to work with.

    Based on the population of known HiPo’s, it is estimated that only 25% came with the automatic transmission and further estimated that less than 700 of those would have been installed in fastbacks – here we are talking about non-Shelby K-codes.

    In a year in which 607,568 Mustangs were built, you can appreciate how exceedingly rare a K-code fastback is…. then couple that with an automatic transmission and it’s even more rare, AND finally, on top of that this one is Silver Frost, one of the rarest colors.


    RARE, code #4 SILVER FROST

    The color Silver Frost is one of the rarer colors for 1966 Mustangs. Best estimates have always put it in the 3% to 4% of total production. These estimates are backed up in the HiPo Registry in which their population of known cars shows 4% of the cars registered to be Silver Frost. Based on statistical modeling my best guess for Silver Frost K-code fastbacks would be 85 cars, reduced to 28 cars if we are talking “automatics”.

    The likelihood of finding an exact match that is also this original and in this condition is probably zero. In the highly coveted world of K-codes, this one qualifies as one of the more unique and in my mind one of the most eye-popping examples possible.

  • 6FO8K331781 on Ebay

    A couple of obvious things not stated by the seller:

    The body style is 76A and the car has pony interior which is incorrect.

    It appears to have an 8 inch rear end and I have questioned the seller a couple of days ago about this and so far I have not received a response as yet.

    I am unable to read the trans tag due to surface rust and I have also asked the seller about that with no response as yet.

    Here is a 66 K code convertible listed on Ebay by seller " stephenbeckerautomotivegroup" as a reserve auction with a starting bid of $12,500.00:

    [size=2]WILL SELL AND SHIP WORLD-WIDE[/size]
    [size=2]This is a 1966 Ford mustang convertible factory k-code with a 289 Hi-Po motor, 4-speed, GT package and air conditioning![/size]
    [size=2]Every once in a blue moon you come across a car that is what would be considered the holy Grail of that specific model. In this case we are talking about a car where Ford built only built perhaps 100 in 1966. This car is more rare than any 1966 Shelby Mustangs built. Out of those 100 or so cars, most were fastbacks and coupes and very (very) few were convertibles. This is one of those cars.[/size]
    [size=2]This is a factory built Mustang convertible matching numbers K code, 4-speed, GT package, and air-conditioning. The car has been sitting for the last 15 years and has recently been purchased from an estate, fully serviced by our shop and is ready for the next owner.[/size]
    [size=2]This is truly an amazing and rare opportunity to find an all matching numbers K-code car. Original door data tag and 25 years in the k-code registry show this car to be a survivor with one repaint. A nice driver indeed![/size]
    [size=2]One of the most rare and most desirable of all mustangs, including the Shelby’s, this factory correct convertible is equipped with the legendary high performance 289 K code V8 and 4-speed makes this one of the most unusual and rare HiPo in existence. [/size]
    [size=2]The K-code high-performance engine, known as the (HiPo 289) was first introduced in 1963, and it found its way into the Fairlane and Comet.[/size]
    [size=2]Carroll Shelby knew that the spunky V8 was the perfect engine for his new 1965 GT350, and the good folks at Ford were happy to oblige. Ford wanted the Shelbys to dominate the track and street, which only served to energize the Mustang mystique. Ford also wanted Mustang buyers to check the rambunctious, solid-lifter “K” engine as an option for any of the Mustang body styles — the humble coupe, racy fastback or sporty convertible.[/size]
    [size=2] [/size]
    [size=2]Out of the box, the K-code 289 made 271 horsepower (306 in the modified Shelbys) — ever so near the one-horsepower-per-cubic-inch milestone that Chevrolet hyped so much. The K-code 289 made its power without the help of a supercharger or fuel injection.[/size]
    [size=2]This engine was Fords best naturally aspirated small block, and it simply pumped out the ponies effortlessly, with plenty of torque and throttle response. Even today, the K-code engine is noted as one of Fords most illustrious achievements. [/size]
    [size=2]The Mustang enjoyed a sales curve that most automotive CEOs would envy — especially today. However, the K-code Mustangs never sold at the same pace as other V8 models. The power plants available in the 1965 through 1967 models were plentiful enough that most buyers simply did not check off the somewhat pricey K-code as an engine option.[/size]
    [size=2]As it was, the 289 engines came in the C-code 2-barrel carb and the A-code 4-barrel carb. Most buyers simply ordered (or purchased off the showroom floor) the 4-barrel-optioned 289 if they were seeking a more thrilling driving experience. By 1967, Mustang buyers could opt for the big-block 390.[/size]
    [size=2]So amid all the hype and excitement over big-block horsepower offered in all the American muscle cars, the 390-ci engines ended the HiPo 289’s run in the Mustang.[/size]
    [size=2]In total, it is thought that only 13,231 K-code Mustangs rolled off the line from 1965 through 1967 (for all years and body styles). There is no specific breakdown for total K-code production by body style until 1967. While 13,231 cars may sound like a lot, it’s actually quite low compared with the nearly 1.7 million Mustangs sold through 1967. By the breakdown, Ford sold 7,273 in 1965, 5,469 in 1966 and a paltry 489 in 1967. The number of K-code convertibles produced is widely agreed to be staggeringly low. Less than 1% of 1% of convertible production![/size]
    [size=2]Part of the reason for the added expense of the K-code HiPo option dug much deeper than just an engine swap.[/size]
    [size=2]Ford knew these cars would be pushed hard. Buyers who opted for the 271 horses didn’t plan on using their car to drop the kids off at school. All sorts of parts were upgraded for the added stress of pedal mashing and tire smoking.[/size]
    [size=2]The engine flew under its own specs — as did much of the suspension, clutch (it could not be ordered with an automatic transmission until 1966), 4-speed, driveshaft, differential and other under-the-hood goodies. The K-code car was really its own Mustang model — which translates to a very special (and rare) Mustang today.[/size]
    [size=2]Separating the rare from the rarest[/size]
    [size=2]Finding a K-code Mustang for sale is not all that hard. With an effortless click of a few keys, I jumped online and noted over 7 for sale before posting this auction. And, as expected, most are coupes, with a few fastbacks sprinkled in. On the other hand, I found only two K-code convertibles. Both listed “inquire” instead of an asking price.[/size]
    [size=2]The fact that one didn’t need to order a GT model to add the K-code option adds to the value dynamic. So the rarity of this car increases, as it is a GT build from the factory. Keep digging, and you’ll soon learn that finding a K-code GT convertible for sale is very, very difficult.[/size]
    [size=2]Pushing all the buttons[/size]
    [size=2]At the end of this long and winding road, our subject car pushes a bunch of the right buttons — far more than most others that simply have a “K” in the VIN. [/size]
