Wouldn't you like to have a 64 1/2 now??

 

nope, they had generators instead of alternators and no fastbacks early on. I like my 66 Fastback just fine.

 

Compared to a 1965 or 1966? No.

In 1999 Ford made the 35th Anniversary GT, and I love them, but I'd rather have a 2000 Cobra R, 2001 Bullitt, 2003 Mach 1, or 2004 Cobra. Cars get better as the bodystyle gets older.

 

I like my 1965 better.

 

I'll take the 35th Anniversary GT "Limited"!!! No, wait I already have one..

 

NO....Give me a K-code 289 that came out that fall or a '65 shelby that came out in calendar year 1965. Bad thing about buying new cars is you can't keep up,they'll always keep one-upping you every year......buy a '99 cobra,then here comes the bullitt,buy a bullitt,here comes the Mach,buy a '01 cobra,here comes the '03 supercharged.
Early '65 mustangs(there were no '64 1/2) were just getting the fun started.....

 

Actually i like my 67 fastback better. But i was kind of thinking the 64 1/2 are still $$$. And I am just about ready to order a new 05 stang gt.

 

got my 65 vert.

waiting for my 05 vert to park in the garage right next to it

 

They're not worth anymore than a later '65,which is not much,excluding shelbys. Ford made too many of them,which they will also make too many '05 GTs for them to be worth anything.

 

05 isn't the same as the first mustang EVER

 

There are advantages and disadvantages, but in the end, it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference.

I own a 1965 Mustang, and it's usually the people that don't know much about Mustangs that will suggest "Don't you wish it was a 64.5 since they were the first?". Of course, I'll usually give the speech that there technically weren't 64.5's yadda yadda. But, it's just like EVERYTHING else, buy today, then something else comes along! You can't worry too much about it or you'll go nuts!!

 

Yes they were 64 1/2s they have some differences other than just generators, these are not really all that noticeable but they are there. The way the hood is made aroud the edges was one I believe the headlight doors or the gills are different.

 

The VINs all started with a 5, so technically they were 1965 models.

 

It all depends on what you like, I have a 67 and would not trade it for any other year. I am also ordering the 2005, in my opinion Ford has done an excellent job re designing this car.

 

I'd usually rather have a first year car and then trade it in for a better model at the end of the cars run if I like the model. Nice to be one of the first driving around in a new car, before you see them all over the place, plus you get to own a car the entire length of it's model run.

 

Well, for what it is worth. I had a 65 in 67/68 which I bought from a body guy who put it back together (kind of). Wish I still had it and am wondering why it took me almost 40 years to finally get another one!!!! When I saw the 05, I knew it was NOW OR NEVER.

 

I've never seen very many Cobras around. Especially the 03 04 Cobras. Are they keeping them in the garage and rubbing them with a diaper every now and then? Gt's and v6's are at every stoplight. Sometimes I sit outside and count how many seconds before one comes by. It doesn't take long! lol
