Few people were disappointed when the Mustang finally went on sale on April 17, 1964. It was, and still is, Ford Motor Company's most successful and exciting car built since World War II. The Mustang just happened to be introduced at the right time, yet its success would not have been assured if it had been a mediocre product. It was a reasonably well-built car, boasted great styling, and with its long option list and three body styles, it was designed to appeal to as many buyers as possible. All Mustangs built between March 1964 and early August 1965 were titled and

coded as 1965 models. Thus, while there is no such thing as a 19641/2 model, there are differences between those built before August 1964 (referred to as 19641/2,s or early 1965s) and those that came after. You will, however, find late 1965 Mustangs with parts and features that supposedly were only available on the 19641/2, versions. Production changes often occur during the model year, and a manufacturer will almost always use up the existing stock of a part before switching over to its successor.
