Default "S" Code?...is this rare?

I found this on craigslist.
I have never heard of a S code....is this a rare car

Here is the add:

1967 Ford Mustang Coupe. Originally a 390 Big Block car (S engine code), currently has a 351 Cleveland with Edelbrock Performer aluminum intake, and Holley 750 4-barrel carb. 4-speed Toploader transmission, with Hurst shifter, and 3.00:1 9 inch rear. Diamond blue exterior (original color), and dark blue interior. Paint is good, but not perfect, interior is in good condition. Manual steering, no power brakes, no AC. With a little more work, would make a nice weekend cruiser, racer, or possibly a show car. Price is somewhat negotiable.

Also have a complete 1968, 390 engine that is partially disassembled and was going to be rebuilt and put in the car. Will include that with the car if buyer wants it, or will sell separately.

A link to the add if interested:

S-code = 390 CI V8. I couldn't find production numbers but the 390 CI engine was the biggest engine available in a non-Shelby Mustang, so it comes with bragging rights. Note: rare doesn't necessarily equal valuable.For equal quality of car I would think any S-code would be more valuable than my T-code with delux interior and bench seat.

I wouldn't consider a 67 S code rare, but it is desireable and collectable. To be worth decent money though, the 390 should be date coded correctly for the car, if you get it I'd sell the 68 390 and try to find one dated a little prior to the cars build date.

The ad says it now has a 351C in it, so there is no telling where the 390 is.

S codes are rare. There were 28,xxx S codes made in 1967. S code coupes are most likely rarer than S code fastbacks but the fastbacks are worth more. Bullitt was an S code but it was a '68

Here's a few on ebay so you can see what they're going for when they are restored. The Acapulco Blue one is beautiful
