The 1964.5 Ford Mustang Started a Trend That still has Yet to Finish
More than nine million Ford Mustangs have been sold since the 1964.5 Ford Mustang launched the greatest new-car success in history. Designed, in part, after the Ford Falcon which did not come close to the same popularity, the Mustang was a success from the moment it was offered to the public in March of 1964.
An unbelievable 22,000 Mustangs were purchased the first day the 1964.5 went on sale. Getting on the Mustang bandwagon with huge sales, Ford dealerships help celebrate Ford’s one millionth Mustang sale, which came only 18 months after the new car was launched.
Those availing themselves of those special sales found themselves the owners of Mustangs with such special features as 200 cubic inch 6-cylinder engines, sports steering wheels, chrome air cleaners, and much more.
For a short period after the inaugural 1964.5 was released, Ford gave buyers the standard 260 cubic inch, 6-cylinder engine, and an option to buy one of two V-8 versions, one of them 260 cubic inch in size and the other with 289 cubic inches. By August, the need for more power became obvious, and Ford dropped the 260 cubic inch engine and went exclusively to three versions of the 289 cubic inch, 4.7 liter engine.
