hey come on i know there a few of us. love to see how many belong to the forums

 

The 67 K code is so rare, only 489 produced, the odds are against you. 96 of these cars are entered in the K code registry.

 

I would take one if anyone has an extra 67 K just sitting around

 

i went to the 67 k registry could not open link.

 

Take a poll to see how many VMFrs have 68 factory 427s!
Kidding but not too different in rarity!

Slim

 

I have one, but alas the bulk of them have gone to the scrap heap, never to be seen again. The HIPO site has been down for a long time now and I don't think it is coming back anytime soon. There are not many of us on VMF, as so few of the cars have been accounted for.

 

since the site is down thats the reason i am trying to use this site. i know only a few r let but would love to see what ones r left. what colors and interiors and things like that.

 

I agree that it is tough getting a bead on how many are out there. I have been in contact with seven people in Australia that have 67 K's, to include 2 coupes & a convertible. It is always interesting to keep up with everyone's restorations, as it can help all of us who are left that may need future info or suggestions. Please keep in touch and let me know if you need anything. Plus more pics of your car are always appreciated.

find it interesting on whats left of the 489 made

 

Here:

289 High Performance Mustang - K Mustang Statistics

 

After extensive research on the Cal Specials, the general feel from the registry (running since the 80's) is there are somewhare around 1000 left. At 4000-ish made, results in about 1 in 4 left.... as a purely unscientific estimate.

One could assume similar ratios of '67 K codes, but as somewhat more desireable cars the survivor rate may be higher... 200-ish would seem a safe SWAG....

My dad just bought California Special #97.

Guess what??? Its Lime Gold!

Sorry to get off topic.

 

You have to remember they were only considered really special years later. When I was in school, you could pick up K codes pretty cheap. I recall looking at an early 65 FB K, all original including the exhaust (which needed replacing) for $800.

I knew a guy who liked them, and would buy them as drivers. Trouble was, he tended to beat the tar out of them, they were junk in a year, or less.

 

Not to mention the fact that correct K code parts for the 67's are much harder to come by for their dates and differences. It is a chore to do one right and I was ecstatic to find mine needing loads of TLC.

Back in 67, many were more interested in jumping onto the big block bandwagon and that was key to the demise of the HIPO. I have found a couple of 67 K owners who were my "sister cars" off the line at Dearborn just to see what sort of details were specific to the assembly line at that time. Needless to say, I am still trying to acquire pictures of many of the details that to date have been unclear, like the engine compartment & firewall pics, underside pics, and exhaust pictures. I love a challenge so I am really enjoying this resto.

 

There was a nicely restored frost turquoise 67 K coupe with a 4 speed maKing noise a few years ago, Mustang Monthly made it into a feature car one month, re-uniting with the original owner sort of thing. A little while later it was sold again, this time on flea bay. Haven't seen it since....
And then there are the two Nightmist Blue K fastbacKs with Comp Handling pacKages that MM did a feature on last month.
Well, there are at least three that are KicKing around.
(btw-- notice the K all caps? My tribute to the K car registry site)

That car was owned by a good friend of mine - he and I did the restoration on the car about 10-12 years ago. I have pictures - it was a deluxe interior (with comfortweave) 67 K code coupe - both consoles, woodgrain wheel, styled steel wheels, convenience group. Last I heard, the car was in Australia.

 

I have 2 67 K-codes

1. 67 GTA K-code Coupe with red interior, nicely optioned survivor, w/ 75K miles. Bought from original owner and had been stored in basement since 75

2. 67 GTA K-code Fastback Acapulco Blue w/ black standard rolling body )-:

They are much rarer than a 67 Shelby but I would love to trade mine for one...

 

67 GTA K-code Coupe with red interior, nicely optioned survivor, w/ 75K miles....

I like the term "nicely optioned survivor"...i'm gonna go with that for mine. At least, until we start systematically taking it apart...

 

The marti report says the Koupe is 1 of 43 made and the fastback is 1 of 114 made.

 

seen a red one with auto in mustang monthly. has a little square pic and 2 lines about it.
i seen that page on 289hipo. was hoping there was another page that broke down the colors and interiors of the cars listed.

 

vamustang. thanks, and thats a great collection you got.

 

thinking about making a site that will list only 67 k codes.

 

I use to date a girl back when I was a teenager and her father had a very rare Longhorn Orange GT500KR and a 67 K-code Coupe with a Paxton. Both were a blast to drive ! I hope to get the 67 some day. It has a really neat history to it including a racing history.

 

Sounds like you want to know about the Mustangs. Sorry, my 67 K code is in my GT350, as is my buddys Al's 350 (AJD350). Well the GT 350 production was 1175 or so.

 

yea a lot more gt350 made than a 289 mustang k code

 

mine is sauterne gold with black interior, fastback, 4spd.

 

Then there was this Craiglist ad a couple weeks ago... went v. quickly:


1967 K code Mustang fastback (Lynnwood) $8000
from craigslist WA seattle


1967 K code Mustang fastback. This is one of the rarest mustangs ever built. There were only 472 k code mustangs built in 1967. It originally had the 289 hi performance motor in it but that motor is long gone. It now has a two barrel 289 in it. I am fairly sure it has the original C-4 automatic and 9 inch rearend in it. It needs the cowl panel replaced as well as the floor pans. The left rear quarter panel is crumpled. I do have the original heads for it and a pair of 1967 front disc brakes that will go with the car. $8000.00

 

I contacted the seller of this 67 K fastback and it sold very quickly. Based on the single photo provided, it needed at least one rear quarter replaced. There were no pictures of the engine, interior, etc. At any rate, it was probably undervalued in the current market which is why it sold so fast.

 

in delware guy posted a 1966 coupe as a k code. i called the guy asked him about it. he told me yes it was a k code car and it has the 289 hipo in it. asking 2500 for the car. drove right down to look at it. it was a A code car. he later went on saying he thought A was a K and all 289 were hipo. and to top it off car was a junk.

 

he told me yes it was a k code car and it has the 289 hipo in it… he later went on saying he thought A was a K and all 289 were hipo.

I've seen a lot of that. Every other guy at car shows used to have a "HiPo". If this were even close to true, K code production would have been half a million, minimum.
