The 1965 Model
Since it was introduced five months before the normal start of the production year, this first model has become widely known, although incorrectly, as the 1964 1/2 model. A more accurate description is the "early 1965" model, as the car underwent several significant changes at the start of the regular model year. All the early cars, however, were touted as 1965 models. The base, yet well-equipped Mustang hardtop with its 170 in³ straight-6 engine and three-speed manual transmission listed for US$2,368. With its "long hood/short deck" styling, it gave the impression of a costly car.
Some minor changes to the Mustang occurred at the start of the normal 1965 model year production, a mere five months after its introduction. These cars are known as "late 65's," as opposed to the "early 65's" built from April through September. First, there was an almost complete change to the engine lineup. The I6 engine made way for a new 200 in³ version which produced 120 hp. Production of the 260 in³ engine ceased with the end of the 1964 model year, when a new, two-barrel carbureted 200 hp 289 in³ engine took its place as the base V8. A 225 hp four-barrel carbureted engine was next in line, followed by the unchanged Hi-Po 271 hp 289. The DC electrical generator was replaced by a new AC alternator on all Fords (the quickest way to distinguish a 1964 1/2 from a 1965 is to see if the alternator light on the dash says "GEN" or "ALT") and the now-famous Mustang GT was introduced. A four-barrel carbureted engine was now available with any body style. Additionally, reverse lights were an option added to the car in 1965. The Mustang was originally available as either a hardtop or convertible, but during the car's early design phases a fastback model was strongly considered. The Mustang 2+2 fastback made its inaugural debut with its swept-back rear glass and distinctive ventilation louvers.
