    This 1966 Ford Mustang is powered by a Hi-Po 289ci K-code V8 paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Nightmist Blue over a Parchment interior, this Mustang was ordered with factory options including the GT equipment package, interior decor group, visibility group, special handling package, styled steel wheels, and Rally-Pac clock/tachometer. The car was sold new by Town & Country Ford of Charlotte, North Carolina, and it is believed to have spent time in North Carolina, Ohio, and California before coming to Texas. The seller has owned the car for 14 years and has added approximately 12k miles. Items replaced under current ownership include the rear main seal, oil-pan gaskets, distributor cap and rotor, brake master cylinder, alternator, heater core, and battery. This K-code Mustang is now offered with sales literature, a copy of the window sticker, the removed AM radio and kick panels, a car cover, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.

    This Kar is in the registry and it is currently bid to $18,000. The engine has a C8ZE replacement harmonic balancer. The upper and lower control arms along with the tie rod ends are aftermarket. This Kar needs a prepurchase inspection done on some questionable items.

    This Kar sold July 3, 2019 on Bring A Trailer for $38,000.00.

    Hi guys. FYI my early 65 k code was built in Dearborn and delivered to Vancouver BC Canada in the summer of 64 and also had DSO 81 on the data plate AND ‘E’ for trans code. It’s also an HEH-T toploader and has matching VIN stamp. Maybe this trans code was used for Kars destined for Canada?
    [hr]


    Here’s a photo of my original data plate, painted over but intact and with original rivets when I rescued it. Note the ‘E’ trans code and totally blank diff code. FFI the diff is date code matched original 3.89 open. Maybe ford didn’t know what to put on these early Kars data plated destined for export to Canada?
    I feel that the other data plate at the beginning of this thread is another example of a k code sent to Canada.

    Thank you Barry for your participation in this unusual discovery first seen here. The OP data plate was just so odd, although I recognized it as authentic, that it is good to have another example come forward. In later years the trans code was different for wide and close ratio 4 speeds. Possibly the E was a Canadian way of showing this? It would be interesting to see data plate codes on a Canadian DSO car with a 4 speed that is not a Hipo.

    Does the fender need to be completely removed or can I just pull it back from the top ?
    As per Tony Gregory's book third edition an 81 DSO is Ford Canada


    There are a few errors in Tonys book and I thought that this may be one of them. I have quite a few different versions of the Ford MPC (Master Parts Catalog) so I looked in all of them for this 81 DSO. I have 1965 only, 1966 only, 1960 to 1968, 1965 to 1970 and 1965 to 1972. The only book that contained this 81 DSO for Ford Canada was the 1966 only book. At least, now I am a believer.

    I had thought about possibly a Canadian DSO myself but the closest that I found was a B1 and that is why I went back to look closer at the data plate. My understanding is that a B1 DSO and not 81 is for a Canadian built unit for destined for central Canada and your Kar was built in Dearborn. Usually a US built Ford product destined for any foreign country has a 90 to 99 for a DSO. Interesting discrepancies and a mystery.

    I just tried to copy and paste the DSO information from the Ford MPC to this forum but it was too many characters. By the time I cut it down, the whole thing was totally unreadable.

    The 81 DSO is "Ford Canada"
    car currently has a 393 stroker with a T5 trans
    Came with a 66 289 block and the HEH-T toploader
    Just added a picture of the vin stamped into the trans and it's a match

    Hi all, just purchased a 65 convertible GT Clone
    Vin and door tag match and have a K in the 5th spot.
    Looking to see if I can verify its a true K car

    VIN 5F08K368524
    Door Tag 76A K 26 10M 81 5 E

    non original motor but the trans is a HEH-T

    By the way, welcome to the Hipo forum.

    There seems to be a couple of errors in the data plate stamping. The data plate states a trans code of E but that code was not used until 1971. There would be a E code for a locking rear axle with 3.50 gears but a locking axle was NOT available on 65 Hipo only Mustangs. It was available on all other Mustangs and was available on a 66 Hipo Mustang. The other code that makes no sense is the 81 DSO code as that one does not exist in the Ford books. I am going to take a closer look at the data plate after I post this.

    The rivets on the door plate look suspect and the VIN does not look "right" in my opinion. Missing the stars at each end of the numbers and the strange spacing is not a deal breaker but does raise serious red flags. A more thorough inspection would be warranted.

    The rivets on the door plate are not an issue for me as the door plate is, at least, an original. The fender apron stamping was definitely NOT done by Ford and is a real mess. I would possibly have some concern for a rebody however a proper inspection would bring that out. The muffler hanger reinforcement plates are only one of a number of items to check for K code authenticity. I have done inspections where I have seen them added. Auction houses do NOT typically vet the cars that they sell and are depending on the seller to give proper representation of what they are selling.

    You can check on the lower side of the transmission for the VIN stamp near the drain plug. At least you seem to have the proper transmission. What engine is in the Kar?
