You are looking at an exceptional, very special car. It is listed in the official K Code Registry. Here is my story. In the fall of 1964, I was 18 years old and I purchased my first new car from Gene Hamon Ford Dealership in Texas City, Texas. I special ordered the 289 High Performance model with 4 speed transmission. I became the proud owner of the only K code, hipo Mustang in Galveston County. There are so many memories wrapped up in my car, it is one of the hardest decisions I have ever made to now offer it for sale. I was 18 years old when I bought it and now I am close to my 70th birthday. If you know Mustang history, and I hope you do, you will appreciate the special place an original K Code car holds in the 50 year history of Mustangs. Of all the Million plus Mustangs produced during the first generation 1965-67, less than 1% were the high performance model. It came with the Special 289/271 horse, 4 barrel carb, solid lifter engine.This the the engine Carroll Shelby used in creating the first racing Shelby Mustangs and the Cobras. When I ordered it, in addition to the High Performance engine, in 1965 it only came with a 4 speed transmission, the famous 9 inch Ford rear end, Mine has the 3.89:1 gear ratio. You could not get AC, power steering, windows, brakes. It only came with a radio and heater. That was all I needed. This car has no rust whatsoever. I went through a long slow process of restoration which was completed in 2009. Since that time, It only gets out of the garage for an occasional car show or Mustang Club events. I have won my class numerous times in judged shows. The car is painted in its original color, which is also a very rare Phoenician Yellow as it came from factory, I installed Tri-Y headers, a Hurst 4 speed shifter and added the new rims within the last 2 years, other than that, she is a stock K Code.even down to the mechanical choke on the 4100 autolite 1:12 four barrel carb. I know what my car is, I know what it's value is in the collector car market. You can look for a long time and will not find a K code with this history. I only know of 2 other original 65 Mustang owners and neither one has a K code. So look at my pictures, they represent a true depiction. .

If you do not find the car as I represent it and you are the high bidder, you may cancel your bid. I am confident you will appreciate and want my sweetheart. This girl is good for another 50 years.
