I came across a 65 K Code with a factory 4.11
Axle Code # 9..
I never realized they produced this option.
Rare?
It's a first for me..
And wouldn't a 4.11 gear just kill a 289HP?

How do you knowits a factory 411?
Door tag..
I'll send it over...
Okay, how do you know the door tag is original?
Im a little scared of the early cars because there is currently no supporting dicumentation
You're scared...???????
I'm the guy writing the check...
;) ;) ;)

No reason a 4.11 would hurt a 289/271
Shelby 289'which is moderately "pimped" all Came 3.89 which is very close.
Anyone else?
I've come across 68 GT 350s with 3.89 and their original 302 was long gone...
And I'm guessing that low axle has something to do with it..
If it will make you feel better, you can write me a check.
I will not squander your money.
The 389 was standard for the 1968 GT350 4spd. It was Shelbys little secret.....to make it better than the Mustang
I just wrote a big check to the Federal government three weeks ago....
I'm sure they'll do something productive with it....
(Sarcasm anyone)
Years ago I came across a 64.5 K code convert with 4.11's. It had the same number on the door tag.
I had a 65 drum brake fastback 4 speed , code 9 diff ( 4.11) thirty five years ago that I bought from the original owner. It was an "ordered " car . Most came with 3.89s.

I wrote a federal one too, plus the state one ,could have bought either a 289 or 427 Cobra plus a GT350R model back in 66 for my part in paying taxes this year
I take it you live in (no don't want to get flagged) lib-T_eral State? Like NY, CA, MA? LOL that is why we are moving....We live in NY where, it is bad! The "Climate" or "Weather" is not good. And I don't mean "Climate" as "Climate" I mean "Climate"......TO "ya all" that are moving to "Friendly Climate" states, please bring your cars, but don't bring your "Bad Climate Ways" with you. For that is the reason your States that you leave has such a "Bad Climate."
I too had a '65 271HP Mustang originally equipped w a 4.11 open 9" rear end, circa 1973.
Still have the housing and the gears. Couldn't have been too uncommon.
I bought a driver's side door from a guy parting out a Mustang in 1987 when I was in high school. I was in Phoenix so the car was bone dry. I forgot why he was parting it out. I still have the door plate.
1965
K-code coupe
GT
Dark Green/Parchment Pony Deluxe Interior
4-speed
4.11 rear
I have a 65 K-code convertible that has the original door plate and it is a 4.11 car, sold new in Charlotte NC to a lady I have the original paperwork. Imagine a lady diving a car geared that low.
Must be a common option. I have a 67 GT350 and a 67 GT K-code and the Shelby seems a bit more spunky. I have not actually drove my Shelby yet, but that is my observations just moving it. Carb? Ratio differences?
