Here are some quick questions I sent to David Reuter in Ford Division Public Affairs:
The Mustang Source: Does increased Mustang production mean fewer Mazda 6s?
David Reuter: No. Our Mustang production increase will not have any affect on Mazda6 production at AAI. The plant will continue to build the same number of Mazda6's that they planned to at the start of the year -- which is about 75,000 units.
TMS: Is there any talk of expanding Mustang production to a different plant?
DP: No, not at this time. We are comfortable that we will have appropriate supply from AAI. We always continuously evaluate our production vs. demand situation but right now this has not been discussed.
TMS: How many Mustangs have been built and are waiting on rail cars to get to customers?
DP: We've sold over 46,000 of the new 2005 model since its debut last fall. About another 25,000 are either on their way to dealers or are already in dealer stock. The plant has additional orders for 50,000 or more cars, not including several thousand which are in production as we speak.

The 65's I6 were Falcon base the V8 drive train was Fairlane.
The 65 had zero competition we only had what the big 3 had to offer, GM and MOPAR had NOTHING to compete with the Mustang. Imports were not on the radar then.
Today nothing directly competes with the 05 Mustang but the market is defused with 100's of choices.

The Mustang unibody was very similar to the Falcon. With Ford building Falcons and Fairlanes which were essentually the same flatform as the Mustang it was pretty easy to add Mustang production back in 65 & 66.

More confirmation from The Car Connection. No real new news though
Ford Boosts Mustang Build
The runaway popularity of the new Mustang is leading Ford to boost the output of the vehicle at its Flat Rock, Mich., factory. Ford will raise production so that it can build 192,000 units this year, up from about 112,000 Mustangs built last year. Ford had initially planned to sell about 140,000 Mustangs annually. "Ford Mustang is the hottest car in the industry, and its performance on the street and in the showrooms is beating of everyone's expectations," Steve Lyons, Ford Division president, said in a release. "Sales are up more than 45 percent over last year, and V-8 GT and convertible model demand is so strong that we haven't been able to build enough." Ford estimates Mustang sales this year are up 45 percent over 2004.
