Anyone have any ideas on where to find a K-Code? I am drawn to this because it has the smaller 289 engine but has the additional power of the K-Code engine. Seems like a smarter move than picking up a 390, but will cost a bit more. There is one at Manchester Motor Cars http://www.manchestermotorcar.com/mo....html?78115126 that looks beautiful and the price looks about right, but I'd like to see a few more. Anyone seen anything up for sale recently?

Let me know,
Rob

 

They made less than 500 of these. They will be tough to find. Are you saying it's a smarter move because there were so few produced?

 

Why not just buy the A or C code and build the small block to your specs? The K-code was not all that spectacular in stock form. Only about 275hp for 65/66 (based on 60's testing numbers).

 

THERE IS A CONVERTIBLE FOR SALE FOR ABOUT $35K IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

 

I agree with Josh. Spend less on a A or C code and then pull the engine and build it like YOU want it. I have a A code and it does quite nicely stock. When I do rebuild it, the mods will be internal and no one will be the wiser.

If you want it as an investment, get a K code. If you want to drive it and have fun, get a a or c and run with it. You'd be surprised what you can get out of these little engines.

I concur with Josh and P. Unless you want an investment or a show car, skip the K and get an A or a C and juice it up to K code performance yourself.
