HENRY FORD II'S 1966 FORD MUSTANG GT K-CODE CONVERTIBLE

This Ford Mustang includes several special one-off features and Ford family provenance. Documentation (included with the sale) from Jean-Jacques Browaeys, Director of Communication of Ford France, dated January 3, 1991, states: 'The Ford Mustang serial number 6F08K285715 was the vehicle commissioned by Ford for Henry Ford II during his stays in France. It benefited from a special finish, paint and leather upholstery.' Powered by its matching-numbers 289ci K-code V8 engine. The high-performance engine features a 10.5:1 compression ratio and produces a stout 271hp. The V8 is topped with a 4-barrel carburetor as well as a solid-lifter camshaft, heavy-duty valve springs and high-flow exhaust manifold. Power is routed through a 4-speed manual transmission with 3.89:1 rear gearing. The exterior received a special finish by Ford's styling department painted in Raven Black with a specialized high-gloss sheen and special white leather top over a tan leather interior, all features not available in standard-production Mustangs. The Mustang has bucket seats from what would become the 1967 Cougar, and the car reportedly served as a Ford Design Center prototype for styling that would later be used in some of the interior details, including door panels, of the 1968 Cougar. The 'HFII' logo is prominently displayed on the steering wheel horn ring, seat belt buckles, exterior door badges and keys. Additionally, the 'Deuce's' Mustang is highly optioned with the GT Equipment Group, AM/8-track stereo tape player, power steering, power front disc brakes, power convertible top, grille-mounted fog lights, dual exhaust pipes, stripes on the rocker panels, specially styled steel wheels and a quicker steering ratio than standard-production-model GTs. This car has spent the majority of its life in France, where it was shown at Mustang events.

Per included documentation from Ford France, this Mustang was specially produced for Henry Ford II. Includes special one-off features and Ford family provenance. Powered by a matching-numbers 289ci K-code V8 engine paired to a 4-speed manual transmission.
