Quote from wagonman

This sounds like a nice car? Is it a T5?

it is not a T5. In classic Mustang circles, T5 refers to the special export version of the Mustang that Ford sold in Germany under the name “Ford T5,”. my car was a diplomatic export car to middle east.

lankri, great to hear from you here. I do like to document kcode vins in a database I have. Would you happen to know if your kar has the original engine and transmission? If so, did you verify by checking the original vin stamps on those parts?

Hi,

All the part of my kar are original beside the carburetor, i check them few years ago.

Dear Tony and members of the HiPo Exchange,

I am returning to this community with a very exciting project. I am the owner of a highly unique 1965 Mustang K-Code, and I have finally decided to embark on a full Concours-level restoration to preserve its historical significance.

As some of you may know from the registry, this car is quite a "unicorn":

• VIN: 5T07K186219 (Metuchen build)
• Engine: Factory 289 Hi-Po (271 hp)

• DSO: 95 with a 6-digit special order code

  
  

Being a DSO 95 (Export) vehicle built in Metuchen with a 6-digit special order code, it is one of the few high-performance units destined for the foreign market with non-standard specifications. My goal is a "Thoroughbred" or "Gold" class restoration, staying absolutely faithful to how it left the assembly line in 1965, including factory-correct overspray, crayon marks, and date-coded components.

I am particularly interested in the work of Denis Frances (Danville, VA), whose reputation for restoring K-Code Mustangs to world-class standards is legendary within the MCA community.

Could anyone provide advice on the best way to reach out to Denis for such a project? I am also looking to verify if any specific documentation or "Build Sheets" for this VIN have surfaced in private collections that could assist in documenting its special order features.

I appreciate any help, guidance, or leads you can provide to ensure this rare Metuchen Hi-Po is restored to its former glory.

Best regards,

lankri

Hi,

This car was export to middle east at the UN Diplomatic person. the car have an ivy green color, but he have a lot of special option as an external rear mirror, many special features as aluminum gear knob, central console hand made and many other things. By the way you right the buck tags screwed onto the top of the fender apron near the hood hinge. She is also GT de luxe.
