“Original is what matters.”
…says David Heino.
David keeps his 1965 Fastback K-Code Mustang in a beautiful new garage and workshop in Halmstad. In the background stands his equally nice 1966 Convertible. He also has another 1966 Fastback currently under restoration.
In the early 1980s the company Motorman in Karlskoga purchased this K-Code Mustang, which at the time had flared wheel arches. These were later replaced with fenders from a scrapped car.
When David bought the car in autumn 2015, it was rolling but the engine had been removed.
With the help of good friends, this patched-together car has since received extensive new sheet metal, some of it NOS parts, including wheel housings, rear quarter panels, rocker panels, and sections of the floor.
Hidden areas have been painted with epoxy primer, and seams have been lead-loaded using traditional techniques. The body is now nearly finished.
During this time David has also been collecting parts to build a proper HiPo engine.
The car will be painted Silver Smoke Grey with red interior.
The car was registered on May 25, 1965 and was most likely privately imported to Sweden. Through Sven Ullman in Stockholm, David has obtained several photos taken in the 1960s.
