Very interesting Mike...How much would you take for that 63 1/2 Mustang?
Must be very, very rare as production on the Mustang did not start until
March of 1964. Hmmmm!!!

Interesting indeed. A full year early, and amazingly with the then
fairly rare GT package. Let me guess, his 63.5 Mustang GT also has the
original Boss 429. Naturally Mikey boy will claim a typo, LOL.

Sorry, none of my collector cars are for sale.

Actually Ford introduce the Mustang in late April of 1963 and referred to it
as a the "All new "1963 1/2 Mustang."


I traded a 1963 Falcon Sprint convertible and gave the dealer $560,
including taxes and fees.
The difference in the MSRP of the two was a bit over $300.

The VIN is indeed 1964 but my Pennsylvania title says "1963 Ford Coupe," as
PA called all convertibles at the time. Back in the day PA titled cars in
the year they were first titled.

As an aside, I have won quite a few bets with guys that say there is no
1963 Mustang, when I produce the title at car shows.

Actually the production mustang was unveiled at the worlds fair in new york
in april of 64, and was available to the public that same month. All other
mustangs previous to that were only Prototypes and were never sold to the
public.

This was my understanding as well. The first Mustang was available
for sale on April 7th 1964. They sold 22 some odd thousand on the
first day. The 64 is often referred to as a 64 1/2 because of the
late release date.

Of course you are correct, at 83 years old and after over seventy cars, I
was confusing the Mustang with my Falcon Sprint which was referred to as a
1963 1/2 by Ford . But the Mustangs VIN is 65 not 64 and the title is 64
and I should have listed it as a 1964 1/2.

So in all of those bets that you won at car shows, no one saw that the
title was for a Falcon Sprint? They couldn't ID the VIN, given these
were car guys that usually know their car history ****? Do you feel
compelled now to refund all of your earnings since you were wrong the
whole time? Were you 83 at the time, and does that explain why you
didn't know what cars you own?
