Rare Mustang #2: Ford Mustang K-Code GT Coupe

What we said earlier about the convertible applies to the Coupe as well. The K-Code Mustangs are rare and valuable and now is the time to step in and get one.

This is configured as 289ci V-8 with a 4-barrel carb pumping out 225hp. This is a great engine and delivers terrific performance in the relatively lightweight Mustang.
