How many Mustangs like this one were built?
Nobody knows.
As there are no official documentation on Mustang productions pre 1967 you must rely on other sources and take in generally accepted assumptions.
I am pretty sure my car is the only 1965 Fastback Caspian Blue GT K-code in Sweden and that there were only a few built.
One of two or one of one?
On top of that this car now has the 63B Luxury Pony Interior (5.776 / 8,1%) despite 63A on the Data plate.
It also has
· Rally pac 8000 rpm
· Cobra Kit Two 4-V Induction Kit with two Carter Competition AFB 500 carburetors
· Original Buddy Bar Cobra Valve Covers
· Cobra Aluminum Competition Oil Pan
