I have written an article about my car in the swedish Mustang Classic Magazine. In doing so I was allowed to purchase a register listening from the swedish Transportstyrelsen over all the 1965 Mustangs officially registered in Sweden. There are 10 kars ie registered VINs with a K in the fifth position, whereof one is mine. Two owners are members in the Classic Mustang Club. Most of the Kars have not been in traffic for many years. During sommer I will contact and visit the nine registered owners and do a follow up on my article. I will ask the owners if they would allow any publication of VIN on this site.

Of the 10 K codes, is there a convertible whose VIN starts with 1881** (its engine was removed from the kar in 1976)?

Also, I am looking for 5R09K165904's engine. The kar was sold new in Sweden in 1965 and left Sweden in 2020.

I had the case of an engine whose assembly date was 9 days before the build date of the Kar (a San Jose Kar)
Although the VIN stamp on the block seemed original, we could not be certain that it was the original engine but it seemed to be the case because the dates of the harmonic balancer, the carburetor, the distributor, the fuel pump and even of the radiator corresponded to this same period.

The owner was Psandri_old

I think he quoted this thread: vin number on block - Page 3 - Research - The HiPo Mustang eKschange (hipo-mustang.com)

Sent you the VIN, my name and email

I have the engine and transmission from a 1965 k code convertible. I don't want to sell it but just check if anyone owns this Kar. The VIN begins with 1881**.

I am looking for 5R09K165904, the engine was lost between 1967 and 1974 in Sweden together with other parts of the car (supposedly stolen).
Thanks for any information.
