april 17, 1964. weren t these the cars that blew up on impact? that was later. different car? yeah. that was the pinto. take us to the first car. we brought several different cars out here. so this is actually car that was built right about 50 years ago, in may, 1964. they called it a 64 1/2 mustang. this was the car that changed everything. why 64 1/2? they only built half a year that first year. cause 65 was the first full production year. and they flew out of dealerships. it was incredible. it was a whole new model for ford, a compact car, long hood, short lid. but they didn t have a lot of power. it wasn t until this next year that they this ask 1966? 66. this was the carol shelby, brought in to help turn the mustang into a real sports car.
