The exterior paint color is Pace Car White, color code "C", PPG code DDL 8321. The engine blue on the valve covers and air cleaner body is very definitely NOT Old Ford Blue as described above. It has a unique PPG code of 11297. Although it is close to Old Ford Blue, it made a big difference when...

This is a new car in my registry, and it fits with the other DSO 53 cars. Let me know your email address, and I'll send an updated copy of the registry. Jim Haskell did research long ago by viewing the individual photos of the Checkered Flag winners receiving the keys from Lee Iacocca in...

No thanks, I already have that info in the database.

The only info I have on any specific Pace Car is the warranty plate info. I don't maintain any contact or location information.

That's not quite right. 127143 seems to be a production oddity; it's scheduled build date of 11H is out of line with the others in the guide. Here's a few cars before and after the VIN in question, and you can be the judge regarding what date it should be: 126623 build date 07H 126700...

There's no indication whether any '65 or '66 is a GT based on VIN number. There's no records that can be used to verify original options like the GT package. A K-code motor does not indicate the car also had the GT option package. You may be confused by the sequence numbers. The first...

According to the Mustang Production Guide, the two cars around your VIN of 127024 are: 5R07C126857 - scheduled build date 07H (August 7, 1964) 5R08C127143 - scheduled build date 11H (August 11, 1964) Based on the other cars around that date, I'd say your car would be safe with a scheduled...

According to the Mustang Production Guide, the first known production fastback is 5F09K250009 with a scheduled build date of 01H, August 1, 1964.

The scheduled build dates for the 66 Pace Car coupes in my registry range from April 13, 1964 to May 1, 1964 (13D to 01E). They seem to be fairly evenly distributed throughout those dates. The VINs range from 5F07F112566 to 5F07F123807.

I've added your info to the registry. That's a total of 66 cars in the list. I only keep track of the coupes since verifying a PC convertible is almost impossible. Are you sure of the date code of 22D? I seems a little off from the sequence of other cars I have. My registry is simply an...

Nice to hear of another found Pace Car! I own Pace Car 116036, one of two in MCA concours condition. I've never heard that the stripes and decals were not on the cars when they left the factory. There's a photo I've seen of all the Checkered Flag cars together, and each had its stripes and...

I see from your garage profile that you have a '65 coupe. Your block should be black with gold valve covers & air cleaner (black snorkel) if you want to stay correct for your year. If you want to go blue, the Old Ford Blue was only used in a Mustang for the valve covers and air cleaner...

According to the Mustang Production Guide, the D-code 289 4V was the 2nd most common of the four available engines in the '64.5 models. The F-code 260 2V V8 was 47% of production, the D-code 4V V8 was 35% of production, the U-code inline 6 was 17% of production, and the Hi-Po K-code 4V 289 V8...
