1965 Mustang 289 HiPo K Code Coupe For Sale

If you are a regular reader of our Virginia Classic Mustang Blog, you definitely know that we are a huge fan of the 1965 and 1966 HiPo K Code Mustangs. When we learned that one of a friend/customer of ours was going to put this gorgeous HiPo Coupe up for sale, we told him to let us know as soon as he posted the listing.

This is one of the earlier built cars like our HiPo convertible...it has a scheduled build date of early September 1964. Because of this, it features a few earlier '64 1/2 style items.

There are lots of cool features on this particular car starting with the mostly original Palomino interior, including the carpet. It even still has those early "no groove" brake and clutch pedals along with the early style 4 speed shift lever.

The original stamped engine and transmission sure make it desirable also. The dual redline spare tire is original and like new! Optional styled steel wheels with redline radials look really great against the rare Prairie Bronze exterior. Original date coded seat belts, original owners manual, engine tag, unused ashtray, and more add to the desirable mix.

Head on over to this link on bringatrailer for a more detailed description and even more pictures from the seller.

I hope you enjoy these pictures of the restoration of a very early production 1965 GT350 Mustang. This is one of the cars early enough to have been modified at the Venice, CA facility before Shelby American moved to the Los Angeles Airport plant.

The car is owned by a customer. Virginia Classic Mustang has supplied many of the parts along with consultation for the restoration. The restoration is being performed by Maple Hill Restoration. We have featured quite a few of Jeremy's restorations of our own cars here on the Blog. His work is really incredible. It's so much fun seeing this level of detail!

This Shelby is now painted, and the "fun part" of the restoration is rolling along as things start going together.

We have tagged all of the posts featuring the restoration of this car, and you can find them all here by clicking this link.
