Title: '67 K Codes
Post by: Survivor on December 09, 2020, 11:05:18 AM
Is 472 the recognized production figure for '67 K Codes and how many are we thinking still exist.  Thx.

I have one  :) - Its an Acapulco Blue GT Fastback with deluxe interior, both consoles and non-fold down.  I'd like to get a registry together for these cars like SAAC has for the 65-70 Shelbys

The 289 High Performance book out years ago had the 67's listed and out of the total production it was not many known.  If I recall it was less than 10%.  It may be easier to gather that information now and update with the web's reach

Try to find a 67 K code with competition suspension package option. Basically all of the Shelby suspension add ons and even had 15 inch wheels with high speed rated tires. Also a special shifter if a automatic (just like Shelby).

Yes I'm just amazed how rare these cars are.   I remember Vern had a Nightmist 67 K for sale about a year ago.   Absolutely beautiful restoration and pretty sure it had the Competition Suspension.  It would be an interesting registry and have always been fascinated by the 67 K's.  Think they are among the rarest Mustangs ever made?

I guess for this topic rare would be determined by quantity produced -vs- total production for 67's.  What makes the car stand apart from the rest of production being the 289 High Performance engine.  So, maybe break down by % of all 67 Mustangs using the engine codes as factor.  Probable less than 3% of 100's of thousands 67 Mustangs = pretty rare!

Looks like less than .01% of the almost 500,000 were 67 K Codes.  Could these be the rarest High Performance engine combo of any Mustang? 

Don't forget the "X" Code 68 - but not High Performance :D

Rarest High Performance engine combo in any Mustang woulds have to include allot of one of's like the Boss 302 1969 Shelby, 71 Boss 302, Many of the Slat Flat racers, some of the experimental cars assembled

I recall reading somewhere the 67 289 Hipo engine option cost nearly twice as much than ordering the larger cubed 390 higher horsepower engine.  I would guess most folks went for more horsepower and saved money in 67 possibly.  I probably would have done the same thing! I am a big fan of the 67 K-codes and feel they have been somewhat underappreciated over the years. I have owned a couple but never had one with the Competition Suspension. They are definitely the rarest one's to find for 67.

I'd like to see the stats on how they compare to other "Production" Mustangs of the era.  Pretty sure less were made than any 69 or 70 Boss 302 / 429 cars or 68 CJ's (except for the race units).  Certainly less than any 65-66 Hipo

I found a Marti report on the web for a 67K code fastback

472,209 Mustangs produced in 1967
71,062 were fastbacks, of them,
319 were built with the Hi-Po engine
205 came with a 4-speed manual transmission

Add in coupes and converts I think the total K code Mustang build was a little over 400 in 1967

I think Ford directed most of the Hi-Po engines to Shelby in 1967

I’d love to buy a 67 K if anyone was aware of one for sale.

There is a 67 K fastback up by Chicago.
Guy has owned it forever.
Was going to trade him some hipo parts for a C8 or C9 351 W.
But he thought W parts were worth more than HiPo parts.

That is the car I am familiar with. I was surprised a lot during that build because of all of the obscure details that make up one with that option. I think it went out of the country after it sold.

The '67 K code Mustangs have always had my attention. It's hard to believe there is no registry already underway.

Recently I started gathering Marti ELITE Reports. (The DELUXE reports don't offer enough info for these cars)
It's an attempt to get a breakdown in the numbers past the body styles and transmissions, into the paint and trim.
It's going to be a long time before I can fill in the blanks on such a low production Mustang with only 489 produced.

Those build sheets are rare finds themselves. You're very lucky to have one for your '67 K code.
I have only one in my files from a Springtime Yellow fastback, 4-spd, with 2A trim, that was for sale recently.

Jeff, I like to refer the one car as a registrar once referred it to me: 1969 Shelby vinned Boss 302....But that is a whole other story.  ;D
Rare.. what is rare. I got a 70 Gt350 vert. 57 of them sold. Is that rare? I hear people call the 69 428 Mach1s rare...Pretty liberal the way rare has been thrown around. While not knowing the VIn back in 1978 I was offered a dark green K-code FB for 200 bucks. rusted out SE Mi car. I passed on it. Didn't run. 4 speed. Car was parted and scrapped. So I KNOW of one that didn't make it for sure-just don't know the VIN.
Title: Re: '67 K Codes
Post by: Richstang on December 10, 2020, 09:47:06 AM
We can find rarity in just about any model and year for Mustangs, and not just the '65-'70s.

Marti Reports perpetuate this with his approach to the ELITE report breakdown, getting each car down to 1 or 1 suggesting they are extra special.
He has no consistency in how he gets there. Most cars are defined by body style, then engine, then trans, then paint, then trim, but...
but Marti finds some obscure option to get that down to 1 of 1. An example would be 1 of 1 with a tissue dispenser or with an electric clock.
Technically it might be a 1 of 1, but that's not what really matters to most enthusiasts.

On these '67 K-codes sometimes Marti will note if it's a GT option in the breakdown. (It's always the same number as the paint quantity.)
Why...because as I learned right here on the SAAC forum, all '67 K-codes were mandated to have the GT option.

Yes, rarity is all about perception.

This car is a competition suspension car and a k kode.  It was a typical Michigan car with lots of rust so a lot of sheet metal was replaced in the process of the restoration. The first owner bought the super charger before ordering the car. He told me that decision to buy the blower came about after reading an article in Hot Rod magazine. I'm no expert on competition suspension cars but I'm willing to share what knowledge I have with those on the forum. If more pictures are needed I can them to my son for viewing on this site.

Believe the pictures were taken at a MCA show.

As far as the suspension option it appears that it was allot less popular on K codes than on S code Mustangs. Of course I think we've realized, like many buyers, that it didn't make allot of sense to purchase a fastback with the option unless you just didn't want the flash and attention that a Shelby would bring with it.

From Marti reports it appears that there were 141 Mustangs with the package 

Did own a S code comp suspension car years ago. Was fun to drive and but a terrible car for autocross and such  ::)

Although very interesting to the history of this car it doesn't really matter in the eyes of the market or if showing in a MCA concours venue by the rules if the supercharger was purchased before or after when it is a owner add on . MCA has modified class's for that.  Of course if you could prove it was a dealer add before delivery to the first owner with reasonable back up documentation and not just hearsay then it would be very significant to both the history and the value of the car. I am not saying that is this case but we hear stories all of the time about out of the ordinary items added to cars when they were new to justify them with no other proof then hearsay from the previous owner. The burden of proof in those cases is on the teller of the out of the ordinary occurrence. Cool car for sure.

So, 489 seems to be the accepted production number for '67 non Shelby k codes? 

Small number given total '67 (again non Shelby) production-likely making it the rarest "Mustang" on that basis alone-which is definitely where a k code Registry would be a benefit.

Are we thinking that less than 73 exist-again, something a Registry would help refine-up or down.

I have 2 k code Build Sheets in my possession-both in extraordinary condition.  One for a car that passed thru the shop that I use and the other for my own GT/A Coupe. 

While I see that both Build Sheets denote the cars as actual "k codes" (top left of the Sheet), mine does not designate the car as a GT (at least that I can decipher).  However, my Marti notes the car as having the GT Option.  It does not, however, designate Competition Suspension as an option.     

Q- is there some authority suggesting that all '67 k codes had to also be factory GT's.  While I suppose it's possible, I find it unlikely that one could not order what I'll call a "plain jane" k code in any style for '67.   
Q- is there an accepted definition/authority for what constitutes the "Competition Suspension" option and when that designation would have been noted on a '67 k code Marti as an option.   
Q- would a '67 k code Marti note the car as having both the "GT" and "Competition Suspension" options or would it be the case that a factory GT equipped k code would already have the competition suspension installed-rendering it unnecessary to also note it as an optional item. 

My Marti does not mention Competition Suspension as an option.  My understanding, however, is that all '67 GT's ( k code or otherwise) were factory equipped with that option-a point that is referenced in the Mustang Recognition Guide (by Larry Dobbs et al) on page 94 titled "GT Equipment Group":  I'll quote: "The GT Equipment Group was available on any 1967 Mustang equipped with one of the 4 v-8 engines.  For '67 only, automatic versions received a special GT/A designation-for GT Automatic".

Skipping to bullet point 7 as to what constitutes the GT Equipment Group: "Special Handling Package with higher rate springs and shocks, and larger front stabilizer bar". 

Q- is that the definition of the "Competition Suspension" option or not.  And, if it is, wouldn't it be the case that only non-GT equipped cars (if there were such a thing in the k code world of 1967) would have that option noted on the Marti?

Anyway, I had a few minutes tonite...

Q- is there an accepted definition/authority for what constitutes the "Competition Suspension" option and when that designation would have been noted on a '67 k code Marti as an option.   

Ford records and in turn then Marti reports, original window stickers or build sheets

Q- would a '67 k code Marti note the car as having both the "GT" and "Competition Suspension" options or would it be the case that a factory GT equipped k code would already have the competition suspension installed-rendering it unnecessary to also note it as an optional item. 

No the GT suspension was not the same as the Competition suspension package. So on Marti reports you will see K codes with the GT package and others with GT and Competition  listed as separate line items just as they would on factory invoices and window stickers

Other items that were part of the Competition suspension package were also listed on the window sticker but listed as NC (no charge) since they were included with the package

Examples

(http://www.concoursmustang.com/forum/gallery/14/6-141220231847.jpeg)

We've had a number of discussions about the subject on CMF over the years covering the subject fairly well.  Though always room to find out more
Title: Re: '67 K Codes
Post by: Richstang on December 14, 2020, 11:49:59 PM
To add to what Jeff said,

There is Ford documentation that lists the following as separate options;
 
The 271hp Hi-Performance 289 4V Cobra V8 - dual exhausts system – requires the GT equipment group.
(This option cost double the 390 option)

The ‘Competition Handling Package’ is available with GT equipment group for 271 and 320hp V8 engines.
(Multiple upgrades are listed for that package at a hefty additional option sum that was more than the 271hp engine.)

The GT Equipment is an additional option with another added cost.

Yes, there are Marti Reports noting both the GT equipment and the Comp suspension as separate options.
This includes Marti’s for both the K-code and the S-code engine cars.

If your Marti Report does not list the ‘Comp Package”, it did not get that option.

The ‘Special Handling Package” is not the same as a “Competition Handling Package”.

By chance, when the car was restored, was the blower originally red under the black paint?
The red paint was painted over in black for ford and Shelby applications >>> in the beginning.

I ask because this unique car has the paxton lettering on all parts, not cobra script.
The BB twin supercharged Cosby cobra should be the same, old pictures I found

I came across this car on Reddit; I don’t personally know the owner or the car but did ask some questions.

He has the build sheet and Marti report, indicating it was an original 4-speed with the heavy duty handling package, F70-14 wide oval white sidewalls with wheel covers, deluxe interior and heavy duty battery. One-of-one for folks who care about that. I don’t know about the original color. The current owner lives in Kent (SE of London) and shared that the car was exported to Belgium from the US then to the UK. It does get driven.

FWIW, he said his Marti report shows 489 Kcodes in ‘67, and 205 were fastbacks with a 4-speed.

The owner shared a few pics of the exterior. I’ve included another one here. I hope this is helpful!

25 of those K-codes were done in wimbledon white at San Jose and sent to Shelby.
10 of them with standard cooling.
This is the one that has survived in Norway.

A nightmist blue fastback with competition suspension was sold last year from my area and went to Europe . I thought Sweden or Norway. I can't confirm because the seller said it went through a importer.

Most likely not Norway. Both the Blue ones has been here for many years.

I would look in Sweden  👀

You may have misunderstood my post. The blue K code with comp suspension car I am talking about was here in the states and sold late 2019 or early 2020 then sent to Europe .It may be in Sweden or Norway now and you are not aware.

No misunderstanding at all.

When I state «most likely not in Norway», it’s based on direct access to the Norwegian DMV.

Sweden is another story, that may take some more time.

I came across this car on Reddit; I don’t personally know the owner or the car but did ask some questions.

He has the build sheet and Marti report, indicating it was an original 4-speed with the heavy duty handling package, F70-14 wide oval white sidewalls with wheel covers, deluxe interior and heavy duty battery. One-of-one for folks who care about that. I don’t know about the original color. The current owner lives in Kent (SE of London) and shared that the car was exported to Belgium from the US then to the UK. It does get driven.

FWIW, he said his Marti report shows 489 Kcodes in ‘67, and 205 were fastbacks with a 4-speed.

The owner shared a few pics of the exterior. I’ve included another one here. I hope this is helpful!

Thank you for adding this second picture and more details on this car.
Since the owner suggests it is a one-of-one, he must have the Elite Marti for it. That's the only source that would have kind of info.
Would love to see that Elite for the production numbers breakdown. I 'm guessing the owner didn't post that
It sound like a NON Comp suspension car by the description with the type of tire and "Heavy Duty Susp'.   

Do you happen to have a link to the thread on Reddit. (I looked but couldn't find it)

Today I received a clipping of a Marti Elite report noting only 4 Sauterne Gold painted Fastbacks (GT K-code) with a 4 speed trans.
It also noted 3 were fitted with the (6A) Black Decor Bucket seats.
The above repainted black car (factory Sauterne Gold) might shows (6G) Ivy Gold Decor Bucket seats.
If so, it would be the remaining 1 of 1 paint/trim combo, not even getting into any options (which would all be noted as 1 of 1).

Circling back to one of the original questions-have we dispelled the notion that all k codes "had to be" GT's.

I thought we already covered this question in previous posts.
Ford Documentation noted the GT package WAS a requirement for a K-code engine.

Did you see something that was contradictory to these statements?

Nothing contradictory-apparently, I overlooked the post...

Slightly off topic, but related....

Here's another convertible that appears to have the 'Competition Suspension'.
However, it does not appear to be a K-code, but rather a S-code. The air cleaner is the tell.
As previously mentioned, 21 convertibles were equipped with the 'Comp Susp' option, 19 were S-codes.

No further info on this car in the photo, but...
the photo caption mentioned an August 2011 Mustang Monthly issue having an article.
Anyone have that issue they can scan and post?
