I have the six cylinder version of this car, mine is the same color exterior and interior, mine is an original six cylinder three speed manual transmission version, 1967 fastback, I’ve had mine for 37 years and it’s my first car I’ve had since high school
So nice! Fun fact about the k code. It's cam was more rowdy than the one found in the Boss 302. Ss some in the know swapped an off the shelf k code cam into their 69/70 Boss 302s.
I graduated from high school in 1975. At that time in Northeast Connecticut you could still find k codes in the junkyards. One kid put one in a clean 63 Ford Fairlane with a Thunderbolt type bubble hood, Another kid put one in red Mustang coupe. Both burnt rubber! ❤️🔥
By '67, better engines were available in Mustangs...
Wow, this Mustang is a great car. And like all these vintage cars, the driver's "touch" is fundamental. I had already commented some time ago on barefoot driving, and even in this case I can tell you that personally, to be in total feeling with the car, barefoot you have a real pleasure in driving. Don't worry about those who probably criticize the habit of driving barefoot: you get on with it this way.
Ha! Thanks! I do have to agree!
Love the 67 I’ve had mine for over 30 years
I've had mine just six years and there's hardly a day where I don't go out to the garage just to look at it!! 🙈😂
What a rarity and unbelievable that Michael and Tyler again have found such an unique icon.
Most impressing, the car comes with documentation and a history. Priceless. Thanks for all the information about these HiPo GT-Fastbacks.
That's the year I was born, 1967,
This is my dream car, a 67 Fastback !
I have a 69 Mach 1 as well.~
I love this channel and your shop.~
Thanks! '67 was a good year for sure!
Great history lesson, love stock cars from the factory.
I enjoyed having friends in the 70's that had both 67 k code fastbacks and 67 k code gt yellow convertible 4 speed with all the HD stuff you cold get as options and a paxton super charger that was instalked day one by the owner or dealer. We had many miles and 1/4 miles of fun beating big blocks with that sweet car!
These little engines could RUN ! And the 302 built on this performance with a few more cubes , the Boss engine is legendary and owes it legacy in pursuit of more performance to the K Code . Beautiful car !!
AM/FM radio makes it even more rare.
AM FM 8 track is the bomb 💣💣
The K code 289 was first released on the 1963 Fairlanes and Comets. 1964? K code 289 was available on 1965 Fairlanes and Mustangs. 1966 and 1967 K code Mustangs were also available with automatic transmissions.
Lol driving barefoot is what really caught my eye. Beautiful car!
No shoes while driving is funny! Love the car sounds amazing!
*Sounds like the "Bullit" Mustangs "blabble-labble-ballabble." hahahaha I Love It!!!*
That's most likely because that's the engine sound they used for the movie . The 390 in the Bullitt Mustang does not sound like the hypo 289...
@@outoftexasRev7v9 *Most of the Bullit Movies sound effects were dubbed in* ...
What a car! She sounds incredible.
YOU ARE A MOST UNIQUE CHANNEL, I LEARN SO MUCH FROM YOU, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF IT,, & I am a real Ford Mustang fan boy. thank you for sharing.
My brother had one he bought new when he was in the Army. He kept it until 1971. It was Wimbledon White with a blue interior. He used to humiliate corvettes with it. It would out corner and out accelerate anything.
My uneducated (as far as car history/decoding goes) theory is that buyers simply wanted the horsepower offered by the FE once those became available. Interesting that Shelby could move around 5x the amount of hipo cars than Ford itself. Interesting that Ford did not produce any '67 Cougars with the K code.
Is there a K code registry? And if so, how many 67 K codes exist?
SUCH a sweet sound 👍🇺🇸
Thanks! 🙏🏻 It is a beautiful sound!
Hello Michael how are you? Great video as usual. I have a ‘67 k code 4 speed fastback 63B interior exterior decor group. Mine is a Metuchen built car too and checking your Marti report mine was built just 6 days after yours. We have chatted before you may remember, I’m in the UK so that may jog your memory. All the best
John.
You've got a cool car there, John. I have a '68 289 Fastback also in the UK.
Thanks mate, yours sounds pretty sweet too
I would like to research a 67 fastback my Uncle bought new in 67, it shared all the same things on the outside except minus the fog lamps and gt stripes. Same color. The interior is where at the age of 64 have never seen another. The color was a baby blue, sported a factory 8 track stereo, red and white door marker lights, and an overhead console which continues from the bottom of the dash across the hump to just behind the front seats to where 2 round lights mounted on each side of the console lit the rear floor. It had a 289 2bbl and an automatic trans with a floor shift that had different colored square jewel lites for each gear. I absolutely Loved that car growing up. Also had the turbine style hub caps that were shown in your video. If this sounds familiar post to this channel. as a motorcity car nut, I love to learn. 👌
I had a’67 coup in 1972. Bought it for $500. My dad sold it after I went in the army. I agreed and he put the money in my savings account. Wonder what happened to it. I now have a’65 coup 6 cylinder. Nice cruising car😊
What a beautiful example that one is , I normally like dark green on them the most, but Wimbledon white looks great , it's more a cream colour really , I wish modern white cars , (of which many of them are, and I have one ) were that shade instead of stark bright white. By the way , why do Americans say "Wimbleton " , instead of "Wimbledon " ????🙂
That was wonderful !
Thank you!
Beautiful! I drive a 2018 Mustang GT premium edition 5.0. Really enjoy it.
You guys always get the best of the best first gens. One day hope you can se my 65 fastback
music to the ears
Yeah, I hate those same railroad track Crossings! The inner Lane westbound is the worst...
Nicely done!👍
Yeah they “fixed” them last year… 🤣
Very Nice car and really cool video.
Thank you!
Nice! Amazing how many 67 K's you guys have had. How does an S code with a manual compare to the K? I guess it mostly comes down to the rear end ratio.
Saw the Marti report it was built back east. Brought to California in early 1970 and registered with the new blue California license plates. Number then letter plates!
Awesome!
Stunning
😎👍🏻
@@QualityClassics given the rarity of this vehicle..it got me to thinking..what would you consider as your top 10 mustangs you have owned/worked on?
yep they are super rare...I owned a real '65 K code fastback and I have been around a lot of 'stangs but have never seen one. I always felt the reason they didn't sell many was the '67 was bigger and heavier than the '65/'66 and the big block was available in the '67 so the 289 K code wasn't a terribly good performer.
Strange the original owner didn't opt for a limited slip differential. That 8000 rpm tach must have been added later as there's no mention of it on the Marti report.
In my early 20's, I had a 1966 Mustang Fastback 3 speed 289 and it was prime '' CHICK BAIT '' If I only had the money. Great Looking Car ,. Thanks for showing.
wow ... that is a keeper. wow.
The 289 K code is an lnternational World Champion.
Had a 67 fastback 390 gta
That is one beautiful mustang love it I would take it off your hands if I could.
AM FM 8 track is the Bomb 💣💣💥
My brother had a k code 67 coupe. I believe the rareistbodystyle for that engine code. Order new out of tasca Ford.
I normally don't like white but that car is super sharp
My brother-in-law had a green on with disc brakes a 9' rear end and 3.89 gears, it would blow my buddy's 1968 390 Mustang off the road. the reason there were so few K code cars, You could buy a 390 for less, but the 390 was a stone.
the only thing I didn't like about the Early Mustang was the, baseball Bat in a Rain barrol Shifter that Ford used up to 1970.
Were there any 67 Mustang knotch backs that got the K code 289 hi po?
Badass!
Blue California license plate came out in 1970. It if was registered in 1967 it would have been black with yellow colored fonts. So either the car wasn't registered till 1970. 2nd, the car was registered with black plates and requested new blue plates or 3rd...moved out of state... military or out of state then came back to California in 1970 and was registered and given new blue plates.
How does the '67 GT390 equipment compare to a k code? Obviously engine 289 vs 390 but what else?
My guess is that the '67 K code convertible would be the rarest.
Just curious my 66 K code has Tri - Y headers and this one doesn't ? This one has restricted 2 and 4 Barrel exhaust manifolds has this 67 sold .. asking purchase price $$ thanks for posting this 👍
90 degrees in your garage? Damn.
There only one word
Sweet!!
Better throttle feel driving barefoot?
How much
That license plate is a 1970 issue.
I've seen a number of '67. Bullitt
Found a 67 S code 390 rug top loader 9 inch,, mustang emblem on the fender no 390 emblem,, bought it for $100 and it was stored in the garage with 65,000 original miles,, who is the pale yellow color..
American muscle. Europe eat your heart out
Did Ford ever make K code with auto transmission
Yes, but only '66 and '67. 👍🏻
Yes, Called GTA. The rarest K Code I've seen was a 1967 K Ckde GTA Convertible at a car show in Belgium 🇧🇪
Would that be a C4 or C6 auto, thinking that the C6 was only for 390 and up cubic inch engines 🤔
@67ponyboy63 that would be the C4 Automatic. I've seen people put later C4s of the 302 V8 on 289s, but the K Code's where C4's from factory, if there were, Automatics
Great video! I appreciate your stories and all the information you include about the cars and you opinions on the cars. Best regards. 😊😊😊
Idk but I know you'll be asking too much as always 😆
I will give you two chickens for it
isn't the 67 a liitle heavy perfomance wise for k code in comparison to the 65-66, thats prpably most chose the 390. I have a 2009 turboo cobalt ss sedan, 474 built, one year only and its basically worthless.
Why do you use "Buzz Words" sch as "HiPo"? Why can't you say "High Performance?"
Looking for one I can run in a demo derby. Doesn't need to be perfect.
Like
So,......Are those '67 K code Mustangs rare?
🤣👍🏻
that car sounds like bullit.
Fun fact: the sound used in the film was actually from the 289 GT40.
I had '65 Mustang convertible, dark blue, white top when I was in college. Damn so much fun.
Come on….k code are with manuel choke….you think we are stupid ?
