Interesting '67 K-Code
« on: November 10, 2016, 10:56:17 AM »
Just ran across this on Barn Finds.  Looks like a good builder car, but it's a shame it wasn't stored somewhere in the dry.  Looks like someone has been migrating deluxe interior parts into it, too.  It's already waaaaay beyond what I would pay for it in the shape it's in.

The door lower grille, a part of the Deluxe Interior Package, is all I see there. Those are the "Speaker Grilles" for Factory Installed 8 Track option on Standard Interior Cars. Looks legit ;)

I dunno, it appeared to have a brushed aluminum instrument cluster, but none of the other brushed aluminum stuff.

Wait, scratch that.  It actually is the correct camera case bezel.  Would it have come with a tach from the factory?  I didn't see it listed on the Marti Report.

Still a unique car to own! I like the optional "JC" bar installed on the dash.  ;D

The tach was included with the K and S code 4 speeds, not requiring a separate cost option.  I don't think that was the case for T, C, and A codes.   If the option was chosen when not included, I think the tach was 6,000 RPM, but the K and S code 4 speeds were 8,000 RPM.  I don't recall ever seeing a definitive document or position based on survey of unrestored cars to cover all the bases.   Also there were changes along the way which makes it more difficult.

Gotcha, I thought that might be the case with the tach.

+1

and the 8K tachs I know were on the K-codes w/4 speeds, I'd have to research other applications besides Shelby's.
Otherwise, the RPO setup was typically seen as the 6K tach. Seen several over the years on unrestored C-codes, A-codes and S-codes, most were auto trans cars though.
I've seen one unrestored K-code fastback GTA's without the tach

Include any state that used salt on the roads in winter.
