Not Politics: Ford built the 10 millionth Mustang today.

[Stinky The Clown]

The story is being widely carried. Here is a link to the Detroit Free Press (cuz that seemed an appropriate source for the story):

I recall clearly going with my Dad and younger brother to see the first 1964 model at the local Ford dealer. The only one they had, a dark green coupe with a three speed stick six.

Mustang shells were used as Ford Futurama ride cars at the Ford pavilion at the 1964 Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows, NY.

3. There are no 64's.

The early 65's are referred to as 64 1/2's only because they were produced and sold a few months early and they were slightly different in some respects, minor things. No title would have 64 on it , but the VIN would be the giveaway. I have a very early 65 in pieces I've been working on for ages. It was built a couple weeks after the "64 1/2's" were out of production, I think August or September of 64. The spare tire hold down is the only thing left from the 64 1/5 parts bins. I also had a 66 GT back in 71. Wish I still had it. My son has a 2017 GT 6 speed in my name. Going through the gears is scary and I stop at 4th.

5. as recently as 15 years ago, I'd see lots of the 1960s models on the road. not such much anymore.

6. My first car was a 1965 Mustang GT in 1965. Paid $2,500 for it.

My dad signed for it but I had a good job out of high school and could afford the payments. Very soon after I got drafted and sent to Vietnam. I had my mom sell the car because friends were sending me letters saying by brother was trashing it.

8. A Guy Here In Town...

...has a 65 with serial #6
His dad was a collector and restoration guy
After his dad died he sold a few, gave a few to friends and family, but kept Mustang #6 and a 54 Caddy convertible.
They didn't chop. These things look like they're right off the showroom floor.
We have a lot of classic car stuff here, because of that family and the fact the old Route 66 runs right through the center of town
