The coolest Pony Cars from the 60's started with the Ford Mustang...HANDS DOWN ! If you couldn't swing a real factory made
Shelby GT-350, the next best choice would have been a factory Hi-Po motored Mustang called the "K" code ! These K-codes were
virtually what Ford sent to Carroll Shelby for the transformation into a full blown GT-350. This beautiful & very rare Mustang
is one of the few real & all original K-codes to hit the market in recent times. It was ordered in this wonderful "V" code
Emberglo finish w/a contrasting Emberglo & Parchment Deluxe Pony interior. I have never seen another fastback w/this color combo
& it is breathtaking ! The paint if fairly fresh & well done. The Pony interior is 100% original out of the factory, other than
the floor carpeting. It is an amazing site to see how beautiful this interior looks being 41 years old. This K-code is also equipped
w/a Factory Top Loader 4 Spd.transmission. But the best part of all is that this K-code was ordered w/a Factory "GT" package that included:
Fog Lights in the original front grille, Dual Exhaust pipes like trumpets thru the back valance, Front Disc Brakes w/idenity tag on the
brake foot pad, deleted back bumper guards, a "fog" inscribed toggle switch for the fog lights, GT instumentation w/5 dials on the dash & "GT"
badging on the lower front fenders along w/side stripes & a GT gas cap.This K-code is also equipped w/a wood steering wheel, Rally Pack Gauges
w/a tach & a clock & a fold down back seat. This is pretty much a near perfect survivor having all original body panels & rear quarters, as well
as the complete floorpan w/the exception of 1 small area around the tranny tunnel which was replaced professionally. It was completed on October 18th, 1965 & has a matching # 289/271 HP Hi-Po
motor bearing it's original chassis # as it should. It is also wearing a new set of proper Style Steel wheels & double red line Bias-ply
tires to complete the gorgeous look. This is the car that Carroll Shelby took under his wing to win dozen's of road races around the world.
These original K-codes are rarely on the market for sale...but I have not seen one equipped in this color combo & having it's original powertrain
in many years ! This is a real "GT" equipped K-code Fastback that will surely be worth their weight in Gold in the near future.
