keiser31 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Cruising through our little town....1964 (I know....I have heard all of the stories about the 1964-65s as to whether it would be a 1964 or a 1965) Mustang fastback and a 1923 Ford T coupe....a friend owns the T coupe.

Spinneyhill Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 We see motor homes towing cars here but I haven't seen one with a model T runabout until now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billorn Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Actually all first year Mustangs are titled as 1965s. There are no Mustangs with titles that read 1964 or 1964.5. Enthusiasts have adopted the 1964-1/2 to identify the early cars from the later cars because there are alot of differences but to Ford and the DMV they are all 1965s. That red one in the photo could be a 1965 or 1966 and I would bet 1966 since they built alot more fastbacks in 1966. It was a late addition to the lineup in 1965. I like the stock hubcaps which you dont see much anymore these days. If you squint just right that photo could be from around 1969. Nice find.

Aaron65 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) There were no "'64 1/2" fastbacks, and as mentioned above, all Mustangs were titled as '65s anyway. However, two of the main differences between what Mustang enthusiasts call a '64 1/2 and a '65 are the alternator-equipped charging system and some engine changes (no more 260, no more 170, etc.). The fastback came out later in the model year, and they all had alternators. At any rate, the car pictured above is a '65, having a '65 gas cap and '65 wheel covers.

JACK M Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yea, I was going to say, If I knew how to enlarge the photo the gas cap would be the tell. 66 had a better grip if you will around the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilgrim65 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Regarding early cars , been watching an American TV series called 'The Son' about the early days of Texas Indians and oil upto 1915 many cars of that era shown , but apart from model T or rolls my knowledge is very limited. Keep trying though. Edited July 11, 2017 by Pilgrim65 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
