In this video you can not only learn of the rarity of the 1967 Mustang K-code Hipo fastback, but ALSO hear the ‘unique’ sound of the mechanical lifter engine and experience the car under hard acceleration. This Wimbledon White icon is truly an American treasure with a documented history.

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

@fredbates7693 Ай бұрын

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.

@fredbates7693 Ай бұрын

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! ❤️‍🔥

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.

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.

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!

@fredmoucatel2058 Ай бұрын

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 !!

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.

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.

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😊

Is there a K code registry? And if so, how many 67 K codes exist?

@barrycuda3769 Ай бұрын

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 " ????🙂

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. 👌

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
