I was out driving around both of my cars today and thought I would post a couple of pics. I now have the first model year Mustang, and the last model year Mustang in my garage.

My 1965 is about unit number 644 something thousand of the one million Mustangs built in the first year of production. It's not what people call a 1964 1/2 Mustang, but it was built in the 1965 model year.

 

Pretty cool slices of Mustang history you got there

 

Thanks, I'd like to get the 65 painted in it's orginal "Rangoon Red" which would make it look a lot closer to the 2011 Race Red then it is right now.

 

Very cool pic. Looking at your driveway, it looks very steep to me. The lower air plastic deflector on my 2011 would certainly hit the cement.

 

Simply beautiful. The 2011 is definitely larger but they're still similarly sized it appears.

BTW, what part of Texas?

 

You must have long arms and legs to have been able to drive both Mustangs today, that would be the great pic to see...


Now, if you had driven EACH of your Mustangs today then it wouldn't be such a extraordinary deal...

 

Still don't understand why people refer to some as 64 1/2. I mean I know there were minor differences between the earlier and later cars but they ALL had '65 MY vins.

 

That's awesome. I love that they're both red/red. I wish Ford offered a true notcback coupe style, alongside a true hatchback "fastback" style again. Maybe in 2014?

 

Man, that's awesome! I'm a bit partial to the 2011; Race Red is absolutely GORGEOUS!

 

What... no shots of the rear?

 

Nope, I have seen '64 1/2 titles.

 

What I liked was the red dash with the red int. I would have ordered my 11 white with a red int. ....but no dash to match, so I went with charcoal.

 

You will have to update this in the 2012 model year

Looks great...thanks for the photos!!

 

I didn't say titles, I said they all have a '65 vin.

 

Oh man, that's nifty! Sweet pics.

Hehe, but dang it, those '65s had really crummy cupholders. And I've never been able to find the USB port in them. The navigation system was a joke. They gave you a a large paper thing called a "map", if you can believe it - and you had to mark the location of your favorite restaurants with a pencil (although I believe the pencil came standard, or the dealer would sometimes throw it in the total cost back in those days). All that came with the "electronics package" were a couple of headlights and some turn signals. The comfort package came with....er, seats. The climate control system was really easy to use though - they had an RDTW (roll down the windows) AC system, which didn't draw engine power at least. But WTF, you had to turn (TURN!!!) a **** to find a radio station (AM standard, FM on premium models only).

LOL, obviously I sometimes miss when cars were simple, despite the fact that I'm getting all the cool gadgets in my 2011.

 

Your GT is sweet, but I'd also like to see a 2011 Pony Package next to the 1965 since they are likely closer in appearance. Still, that's a nice set of "bookends" ya got there!

 

Fort Worth, North Texas

I didn't say at the same time! lol

Yes, that's why I tried to make it clear........

Nope, I should have I guess.....

You're welcome.......

They also had cardboard parts. I feel the same way.....

Thanks!

 

Beautiful Mustangs.

 

Yeah, I knew what you meant. I was referring to everyone else who actually thinks they have some super special Mustang since it was one of the first million produced. Glad to see you're not one of them.

 

Awesome pair of ponies! Very nice!
