The 1964.5 Ford Mustang Launched a Inclination That has Yet to End
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. Once Ford had sold its one millionth Mustang, only eighteen months after the car went on sale, Ford distributors everywhere began offering sweet 30-day promotion packages.
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.
From the first day the 1964.5 went on the market until the end of July of that year Ford equipped the beautiful cars with a standard 260 cubic inch, 6-cylinder engine and two 8-cylinder engines, one a 260 cubic inch V-8 that produced a mere 105 horsepower and a 289 cubic inch version that produced 210 horsepower of thrust. Looking for additional horsepower, Ford abandoned the 260 cubic inch engine in August of that first year and offered a trio of 289 engines as options to new buyers.
