In 1965, only a discerning few customers ponied up for the top-of-the-line high-performance package on Ford’s iconic pony car. Popularly known as “K-code”—in reference to the special letter designation in the VIN of Mustangs so equipped — the package included a 289 cubic-inch V-8 engine rated at 271 horsepower and a medley of performance items for a whopping $442. 60. Except for the $283. 20 air conditioning, no other Mustang option had such an impact on buyer’s wallets, which meant that K-code production was understandably low.
The car’s solid-lifter V8 was not the average Ford small-block. Inside its over-square, four-inch cylinder bores were high-strength flat-top aluminum pistons. These were linked via heavy-duty connecting rods with strengthened rod bolts to a more robust cast-iron crankshaft with an enhanced front counterweight to maintain high-rpm balance. Each cylinder head had enlarged intake and exhaust valves, while the engine breathed through cast-iron, header-type manifolds and into a standard dual exhaust system. A Special Handling Group helped make the most of all the power with heavy-duty shocks, springs, and a front sway bar.
The superlative 1965 Ford Mustang 'K-Code' Convertible featured here is finished in stunning dark Ivy Green over a Black interior with a White power-folding convertible top. This exquisite Mustang convertible was delivered from the factory with the highly desirable K-code 271-hp “Hi-Po” 289 cu. in. V8 as well as a four-speed Top Loader transmission and factory air conditioning. This well-optioned, numbers-matching, K-code convertible represents one of the most iconic and desirable examples of American performance, sure to be prized by Ford or muscle-car enthusiast. I personally the investment potential of this iconic model will grow beyond your imagination, offered to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best!
