I havent had time to read all of the comments here, there seems to be alot of disagreement on these topics. Maybe this can shed some light on the situation.

http://www.fordflashback.com/xfiles.asp

And just to add fuel to the fires, I myself have a 69 Mustang that had a 427 in it. ( Woah Woah before everyone starts calling BS hear me out) The car wasnt factory produced by ford they had a fabrication shop customize the car... It was a promotional car built for Carl Holbrook to race as a ford driver, the original S code 390 was pulled and tossed a 427 Tunnel Port was droped in and the shock towers still have the dents beat in them for the headers to clear. The care was tubed out and gutted. After that season the car was sold and after several owners I ended up with nothing but a body and several spare parts. Now before you think im blowing smoke up your asses, i am not claiming to have documented proof ford built this car. It was only verified by the first owner. Also the car was contracted out to a secondary company to be customized to race specs. So in a way for had a hand in building a 427 69 Mustang, but that doesnt matter because ford didnt actually build it It still shows as a 390 S code. So make of that what you want, it took 2 years of hard detective work to get these details.

Maybe a story similar to mine has been causing rumors about cars that may have existed, ford never made them in the factory but they had a hand in how they came to be the way they are.
This thread, so far...
