Certainly a nice optioned truck!
Think about this story. Every summer when I was little my grand parents & I would get in the boat at Guntersville AL & go up the Tenn River past Chattanooga & around to a place called Lorett & spend a week. One yr we went further up to a big creek & stayed a few days at a mans place named Cummins. He was the brother of the man who invented the Cummins Diesel Engine. This was summer 1965. Mr Cummins had a new Gold Mustang coupe. It had for an engine a 390 FE style under the hood. While talking with my grand daddy he said he had a bro n law that was at Ford & he got him to order the car with that 390. I remember it well because my grand daddy commented that it was the same engine that was in his LTD. We all know that Ford never offered the FE in the 1st generation Mustang but there it was. Anything may be possible!
