1964 1/2 Mustang K-Code

I don’t know if Jay ever reads these comments but if he does, I and everyone else are wishing you another speedy recovery from your motorcycle accident. Get well soon Jay and ride on!

As a purist, I really appreciated the effort on the restoration of this iconic car.

My favorite type of guest. Amateur, but knowledgeable, confident and authoritative. But most of all, he's not trying to sell anything.

The Guardsman Blue is a beautiful color. Jay, please get well soon, we love to hear from you every week.

Beautiful car that brings back memories. My first car was a 64 1/2 Mustang in 1987. My dad and I took two years and restored it together. When I turned 16 in 1987, he had the final paint done in Rangoon Red and had it waiting at his office where I worked after school, for my 16th birthday. Wonderful memories. Did all the work except for paint ourselves.

Speedy recovery Mr Leno. You are a shining beacon and advocate and utilize your platform more effective than anyone else in sharing your passion for cars. You’re a real American icon

Absolutely love this car! The owner of this car was fantastic! One of the best people you have ever had on the show. Extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Loved listening to him talk about the car.

The K-code 289 was first available in the 1963 Fairlane, but for whatever reason it had single exhaust- slightly lower HP in that application than the rest. I've seen 64 Fairlane and a 65 Fairlane, both with the K-code. I had a friend in college who owned a 66 Mustang GT with an A-code 289 and it had the "bench seat". The driver and passenger seats were pretty low and the middle seat was 2 or 3 inches higher because of the transmission tunnel, so no one ever wanted to sit in the front in the middle. Or even in the back middle for that matter...

Absolutely stunning 65 Mustang! Being a purist and a Fordophile, I totally appreciate this owner's efforts in keeping this very rare 'Pony car' totally original. Would love to see it in person. Thank you, gentlemen for showing us this treasure. Jay, glad to see you appear to be recovering well from your motorcycle accident. Shalom.

I love how the guy is hiding that he's stressing when ever Jay revs the motor up in traffic. He points out it only has 35 miles on the rebuild, and solid lifter cams need careful break in.

one of the best jay lenos videos ever! This is NASCAR country, son!

Hope your doing well Jay a lot of us love you. Please be careful out there we don’t need to loose another automotive legend

Jay! Enough with the accidents, huh? You’re gonna wind up doing the show in traction! Best wishes from Dublin Ireland. That Mustang blue is gorgeous.

One of the most enjoyable segments in this series. The owner was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Great job.

Jay is a national treasure - along with his garage!

I have fond memories of these old Mustangs. My Mom and Dad had a 66 Mustang. We would go to the drive in movies and lay the back seat down to make it into a bed. I remember the 8 track my Dad put in the car, listening to Honkey Cat by Elton John and Band on the Run by Paul McCartney and Wings. Today l have a 21 Mustang Gt and listen to Wings on the radio. It takes me back to my childhood. I share my new Mustang with my Grand Kids to try and make some of the memories my parents made with me. My Grandson has called dibs on my car, he doesnt know that l plan on giving it to him when gets older and more responsable.

What a great restoration - Jay, thanks for sharing it with us. I can only imagine how proud the owner is of his beautiful and rare example....

My first car was a family hand me down, a 66 fastback, 289, automatic. It was a rust bucket but still ran like a scalded dog. It had holes in the floorboards that would flood going through deep puddles in the summer and blow ice and snow on you in the winter. I took license plates to plug the holes. I'll never forget the day the old man sold it in '78 for $450. I was heartbroken. If that car could talk, i'd probably be in jail lol....I sure hope it's still around.

Wow, nostalgia overload for those old codgers of us who know what a choke is on a car. I was but a child in High school when this car became available and when I graduated in 1966 ,no I did not get a Mustang I got a draft notice. I finally made it home from that so called "conflict overseas" My mind was not on cars but my Dad gave me his worn out 1966 Mustang 6cyl. three on the floor. My74 year old self still drools when I see one of there amazing cars. Oh well thanks for showing this car and to you Jay Godspeed and heal fast lots of people are on your side.

I’m not a huge Mustang fan but this one is really special. Congratulations to Scott for his efforts to keep this car original. Love the exhaust note and the gearing. The car is beautiful. Love the colour too.
