Quote from CharlesTurnerShould also be some more up top. Got a pic of the whole rad support?
Also, please post your VIN, or at least the assembly plant and scheduled build date.
Sorry, realized that this isn't a Dearborn car... I hope!

OK, I will admit that I don't know what all the marking represent! I know what the GT, K, and now the BL mean, but what do the other marking represent?

I found the steering box blackout on 3 different San Jose cars built around the end of January, early February '65. I feel confident in my examination of the parts that they were originally done like this. I have not studied any later or earlier examples to make any definitive claims. I will say that I also found the same thing on a May '65 Dearborn car.
MCA rules simply state they can be either way.

This lends credence to the theory that there were no Generator San Jose K codes.
Your unit number puts the car in generator production. Remember that San Jose reset their numbers to 125001 when they started up the "normal" '65 model year production and started installing alternators.
Would be interested in seeing pics of various areas of your car if you're willing to share.

Woah, starting bid of $375 for 8 plugs. Some years ago I bought
2 boxes of 10 for $50 each at all Ford Day at Carlisle.
The guy had a large box dated 1965 but only these two left.

Sure, they're pricey, I agree, but those don't come along very often these days. The power tip BF32/42 are still plentiful though.

Really neat car. Interestingly, 5R09K125001 had a 20H scheduled build date.

Probably a stupid question, but I seem to be under the impression that the 289 HiPo option in 1967 production was available only in the Mustang GT. Is that true?
Yes, that has also been my observation. I believe a good friend of mine asked Kevin Marti this once and confirmed all '67 K Mustangs (non-Shelby) were GT's.

Based on my observations, the gray sealer primer was only applied to the outer facing panels and usually all of the pot metal parts.
-
Red-oxide under the engine bay area and black in the rear would be consistent with some other San Jose cars built around the Nov '64 through Feb '65 time period. I have personally found this type of primer application on 3 San Jose cars between unit number 178xx-184xxx

So Randy contends they were not painted gray on factory-installed prop valves? If so, he's wrong.
-
Has been discussed at length on several forums. My personal opinion is the car has a mis-stamped VIN and nothing more than a factory line blunder. The unit number puts production sometime around Oct/Nov '64, which corresponds to some of the sheet metal dates. The glass dates and other things like the wiper motor date would confirm the time period the car was built.

Bob Perkins had some NOS coupe headliners, which can be cut down and used in a fastback. His website has his contact info:

Does anyone know what a C4ZE "Z2" would be for, I have one i may want to sell.

It's for an automatic V8 car. Keep in mind the bottom tank may have been changed in the past. I have about 2 or 3 of these.

I was using the 1965 and 1966 Ford master parts catalogs as a reference and there is no separate reference to an alternator for hi-po Mustangs. The '75 version of the MPC also does not list a unique alternator for a hi-po. The only alternators that show available for Mustangs in 65-66 was either a 38A, 42A or 45A. I believe 42A would be most common, possibly the standard alternator if a radio and other accessory over the base model was installed.
Would be interested to know where Tony Gregory got his information.
-
42A alternator stamps were typically orange. There is no unique alternator specifically for a hi-po, although obviously they have a different pulley.

E-mail sent. Would like to get the no-date base and later style re-chromed lid.

From research, there were only 14 cars produced with this SCS option and 3 are known to exist today. One in TX, one in CA and the one I have in NJ.
Curious to know how you arrived at that number?

Quote from 66KGT
Not that I care but then why are radials deducted for in trailered? Is it because they are P-metric?
The MCA rules clearly state that late '66 may have radials and that "P-metric" are not allowed.
