I've just run across what i believe to be a good deal , I have a chance to buy a decent 66 K code , don't know if the engine is original or not but for 6 grand it sounds pretty good . Does anybody know how many were built ? My Kevin Marti book only covers 1967 to 1973 . Any help is appreciated . thanks

 

Like you said, Marti can only verify 67 and up. So, with that,one way you can assure you have a K code engine is to visit the FAQ amd look under the engine section for the K code- Hi-po articles. If the 5th digit of your warranty number is a K, then you know that at least that car started out as a K code engine Mustang.

 

+1 but if it doesnt have the original k code engine or you cant verify the engine, its worth pretty much the same as a C code IMO.

hope it works out for you

 

With the letter 'K' in the vin it's worth a whole bunch more than a 'C'. Ford sales literature said about 5472 'K's' were built in all body styles.

+1 With a little money and some patience you can find k code engine parts.

Here is a link about the k code engine:

Ok, it's 5469 total in 66. To much CRW.

I disagree. Besides the engine, there were several other things different on the K code then a regular C code mustang.

There are also a few K codes that didn't have vin stamped in the engine blocks and IIRC some even have the vin stamped into the transmission.



+1

Although the two books that I just looked at both said 5,469, it's close enough.


EDIT: Didn't see your other post. You must have posted it while I was typing mine.

 

Somewher in my vast collection of paperwork, I remember a figure of 5742 or 5472. I'll use the one on Tony's site.
