Back in the 80's had a chance to buy a similar car it had a 289 was black with a red interior and belonged to a little old lady. It wasn't this special edition, but it was pristine shape and was only asking $500 for it. That was a lot of money to me at the time and I passed one of my many regrets. This is a sweet car you have.

Yeah, that was the first thing I heard was those solid lifters....I had a '66 K code GT Mustang back in the day!!

I had a 1965 comet cyclone k code. Same engine, 4 speed and color. Love this car. Also had a red 1963 sport coupe w/auto and bucket seats. Love the mid sixties Fords/Mercury line up.

The Mercury K code motor was not the same as the Ford k code motor. It was a standard 289 with a four barrell

​@@georgetait8811 CORRECT... None came with HIPO.

Beautiful car. I see it has been changed from a generator to alternator,

Beautiful.. I love that color

Straight to the "Best of..." list of the channel. Incredible car. I also like the new surroundings where you filming. 10 out of 10!

Ford smallblocks are the best sounding cars ever.

Great combination here. Add a 5-speed trans, anti-roll bars and rear discs and you have an apex hot rod. OK, maybe GT40 heads...

This thing is SO sweet and important. VERY cool, which I had the money for ya :)

I'd paint the insert on the side Black..Great car..I have a 62 😎

Beautiful car ,would love to see a burnout!

I’d love to see a cold start of this

I absolutely LOVE this K code supercharged Ford! 👍Please check out my 1968 Barracuda fastback powered by a rowdy 512 stroker backed by an A833 4 speed manual. I think you'll approve. 👌

Should be

You should jack it up , put some Cragars on it , headers and thrush mufflers. Or flo masters. 👍🏻 The one I had was badass with a built 289.

Adjust the valve clearance. 😲

Lash sounds more rattly than even normal. I would always run my lash down to about 10 or 15 and you wouldn't hear that knocking. No need for it

Valve lash settings are specific to the cam design and one should not change simply to eliminate or soften the natural noise. No flame intended but that's a poor decision.

@@robertlikis3386 It is a commonly acceptable change that can be made on nearly any cam for more than one reason and cam manufacturers agree. This cam is mild and can easily handle a tightening of the lash. And it is not just for the noise. Do you realize that the noise is the valvetrain knocking into itself? Tightening the lash adresses reliability and wear issues.

I just heard about the super charger 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Oh hell yes. Sounds mean as hell. I got stopped 5 times in 2 months. I outran them a couple times. Actually out smarted them. lol 😂

The k in this vin does not mean a factory HiPo motor. The vin just had a k in it. The factory engine is not a 289 HiPo engine like the mustangs had.

Just goes to show what you don't know. This 289 K code is the same engine used LATER in the Mustang minus the Supercharger. Do your research before you comment. GEEZ!!!
