For purposes of clarity, it is useful to note that Ford never referred to Mustangs as "'64" or "'64 1/2" models. These designations are the work of collectors who seek to differentiate an early '65 from a late '65. That said, Ford made midstream changes throughout the model year. The 289 cid V8 replaces the 260; the driver's seat becomes adjustable; an alternator replaces the direct-current generator; spare tire brackets are revised and more.

Re: Domestic guys

have him take pictures to see this beast

64-1/2 mustangs, well early 65's are the worst, they where made quickly to get them out to the market and there's a lot of little differences, updates and upgrades you will find in the late 65 and 66 models.

They are valuable to some point because of the whole year one mentallity. But came with weaker engines and ugly interiors.

but 63-1/2 concept, I don't think so, nevertheless, if it is not a rust bucket it is a steal for $1200.
