Vehicle Description
A little history on the 1964.5 Ford Mustang.....On April 17, 1964, the Ford Mustang was presented at the World’s Fair in New York and offered to dealers in the U.S. for sale for the first time.
The cars produced at this point in time are today generally referred to as 1964.5 which accurately corresponds to their date of manufacture. This involves cars that were built between March 9, 1964 and July 31, 1964.
Ford didn’t have a Mustang for the 1964 model year, which can also be recognized by the number 5 as the first digit in the vehicle identification number. The number five stands for the model year 1965. From a purely official point of view, there was no 1964.5 Ford Mustang available. It is also true that the “early” Mustangs, meaning the 1964.5 models, were significantly different from the “late” Mustangs, meaning the correctly-named 1965 Mustangs. The technical details are likewise very different and the production numbers for the “early” Mustangs were significantly lower. They amounted to only 17.85% of the entire 1965 production.
The 1964.5 Mustangs are therefore much rarer and also hold the distinction of being the first production run of the world’s most successful car.The special features of the "early” Mustangs include the fact that only the hardtop and convertible models were available.
