This is not just another ‘60s Pony car; it is powered by the now legendary K-Code 289 cubic-inch V8 also known as the High Performance or HiPo Mustang, and the durable Ford 4-speed Toploader transmission. This Mustang is a classic that was very well-maintained and cared for with only two owners over the past 30 years.
The 1965-1967 “K” cars were the FIRST high performance Mustangs. These were cars that Ford dropped the 289 HiPo engine into. They were special because they were more than a hot engine in a good looking car. These cars came standard with heavy duty suspension, a nine-inch rear end, and many other performance modifications. More often than not, these HiPo Mustangs were seen driven to work during the week, and raced on the weekends. This helps explain the rarity and low survival rate of this car today. The original Ford power train warranty on HiPo’s came with was 90 days or 4000 miles, whichever came first. Additionally, the warranty was voided if the vehicle participated in any “competitive activities”. Today, these cars are not common, and in some combinations can be quite rare. Convertibles are much rarer than the usual coupe or fastback body style.
