1964 Mustang Types

            In 1964 Ford came out with a brand new car, the Mustang. The Cheep end hard top coupe came with a 170 cubic inch 2.8L straight 6 engine with a 3 speed manual transmission. Which retailed for $2,368. Today, early mustangs have always been popular and are an American icon. Actually there aren't any Mustangs that are stamped 1964.  They all carry a 5 in the VIN number, meaning a 1965.  Mustang Coupe and Convertible production began in April 1964. Being that Ford started production of the mustang on 1964, but stamped the cars 1965 people have been calling this year of production car the 1964 ½. It can be difficult to prove a true 1964 1/2 Mustang, but any early Mustang with a D, F or U engine code is definitely a 1964 1/2.  Mustangs with engine codes A or T are considered 1965's.  Mustangs with the C or K code engine option could be either a 1964 1/2 or a 1965 Mustang.  It is important to check the date on the door tag.  This date gives you further information for when the car was built. Other than the engine codes and vin numbers, as you can see in the pictures below, the difference between 1964 ½ and 1965 mustangs are mainly cosmetic,
