I've seen guys title them as 64's to force the value up, but officially, Ford never made a 64 Mustang. Of course they change their mind if it works for them right?!?!
Yeah, I'd just turned sixteen a few months before the announcement. They were classed as "early release" as I recall, titled as a '65 but all the rest of the model year wasn't available until five months later. A buddy of mine talked his Dad into counter-signing for him on a Poppy Red notchback with a 289 4 speed.
