For Sale
1966 Mustang ‘Kcode’ GT Coupe
For sale, 1966 Mustang ‘K’ code GT Coupe. This is a real GT, not a dealer or owner made GT (the original build/buck tag contains the code PIO (Performance Image Option). I purchased this car in May 1997, after a total restoration it was road worthy in the late Fall of 2003 but leaves the garage only occasionally and only if the weather is right. I have driven this car about 1500 miles since it was completed.
Here are some of the details:
BODY:
Initial major body work by Gelsi Mustang, a very well known
Mustang restoration shop located in Vineland New Jersey in
December 1997. Car had paint media blasted off. Final body work
and paint (Candyapple Red ‘T’ code) also by Gelsi in 2002.

(purchased Aug. 1997), sits on a Ford Hi-rise aluminum intake
(C90X-9424-B) that was on the engine when I bought the car.

Konis all around, new 5 leaf mideye rear leafs and new pitman

incorrect driveshaft, so I had it cut to size and balanced.
