Body Styles (compare years, see more 1964 style information including Special Models)


Hardtop

Convertible

The Mustang made its debut on April 17, 1964, at the World's Fair held in New York. Ford sold 22,000 units on the first day alone! The Mustang was advertised as having the "styling and features of expensive European road cars combined with an American mass-production price." It was an intermediate-sized car offered in two body styles: a hardtop that cost a mere $2,320 and a convertible that could be purchased for $2,557.

The Mustang came standard with a 101hp 170ci six-cylinder engine. Three V8 engines were optional: the 164hp 260ci, 210hp 289ci, and a higher performance 271hp 289ci engine. Other standard equipment included bucket seats, floor shifted transmissions (automatic or manual), and a padded instrument panel.

After the Mustang was used as the 1964 Indianapolis 500 Pace Car on May 30th, Ford built 190 special hardtop Indy Pace Car replicas (and three convertibles). They were special order white with a light blue triple top stripe and had no door mirrors.

This site will call the first model the 1964 Mustang, some (including Ford) call them 1964 1/2 Mustangs, and still others contend that they are early 1965 Mustangs. Which is correct? They all are. These Mustangs are marked with a "5" in the VIN for 1965 but were all assembled before the early August 1964 plant shutdown for 1965 model year retooling. The retooling for the Mustang line included changes in engines, alternator, and trim as well as the introduction of the fastback body style.
