The Body
The Body on this car is a laser straight original sheet metal. There is no rust or damage anywhere on this car. The floors are incredible and it has its original ¼ panels. The car was painted some time in the 60s with the white and blue Shelby theme. The paint is glossy and has had some rock chip repair done. The gets a lot of attention at shows and cruise ins. The paint is not show quality but as the photos show is very presentable.
The Bottom
The bottom of the car is one of the best that I have ever seen. No rust. It has all of it’s original pans, the bump stop is in place. The car was ordered with disk brakes.
The Original Shelby Parts
As mentioned above the car was cloned to Shelby Specs some time in 1966 with ORIGINAL SHELBY PARTS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. It has an original SHELBY SM1 intake manifold, a set of original closed letter valve covers, an original export brace (even bolt spacing), an original Monte Carlo bar, original Shelby under ride traction bars, and an original Talbot Mirror from 1965. Last year a set of 14” Magnum 500 wheels ere added. These are stamped with a 1967 date code. After the installation we were informed that these were 1966 Hertz Shelby wheels. The Shelby parts alone are worth $4000 plus.
The Interior
The interior of this car is in absolutely incredible condition. It retains all original seats, carpet, headliner, and dash from 1965. The seats have no rips or tears and show almost no wear at all. There is one small area on the top of the passenger seat that needs to have the stitching tightened but the seat is not torn. The dash has a small crack at the speaker. There is a new repo that goes with the car. The carpet shows very well with only minor wear. The headliner looks new with no rips or sags. The bright work around the fold down seat is fantastic. The car retains its original AM radio (still works) although it’s a bit hard to hear over the solid lifters.
The Engine
The engine retains all of it’s original external K Code parts with the exception of the block. It presently has a 1968 302 Block. There is a correct date coded (Oct 64) 289 block included with the car(see photos). The car has a 19 and 20 heads on it, correct C5 dual point distributor, big balancer, altenator, pulleys, fan, and fan shroud. The car runs like a scalded dog and is very dependable. It has the correct Z bar, bell housing and Transmission. The rear end was rebuilt about a month ago and the 3:89 rear was replaced with a Richmond 3:91 set up.
The Documentation
The car was purchased with a slew or original owner documentation including the original window sticker, warrantee card, and the original receipt from the dealer. We have high resolution photos of these but unfortunately the original docs were lost in transport from CA to GA.
The Car
This car is a very solid rust free example of a very rare K code Mustang. It is very fast and gets plenty of attention wherever it goes. Restored K code fast backs are selling from 50-60K. The original silver smoke grey is a very rare and desirable color. Thanks for looking and good luck
