They actually made 2 427 Mustangs in 1968. I know a guy who has one of them and I have been told there were 2. No they were not W codes. They were R-codes that had 427 8V engines installed AT THE FACTORY. Documented and such. The one I know about I have yet to see in person but Chris Teeling told me it is real. The owner is local here in the Detroit area. His dad was an exec at Fords and the car was built on the line with the 427 installed and a numbers matching CJ dropped off at his house. This guy inherited the car from his dad. Has it all. Documentation and all. When I get a free weekend I will be going and see this car. My painter actually saw the car at a show he judged last summer and said the car was awesome. So there was at least one 427 factory installed Mustang in 1968. no bull about it being a R-code-thats just semantics because what was installed is what the car was, right? If not then there were never any 1964 427 Thunderbolts(289 K-codes, all of them). Gary
