The Mustang was introduced in mid 1964 with the first generation running 1964-73 and the first major redesign coming in 1967.
Several changes to the Mustang occurred at the start of the normal 1965 model year production, five months after its introduction. These cars are known as late 65's," and were built after factory retooling in August 1964. The engine line-up was changed, with a 200 cu in (3.3 L) T-code engine that produced 120 hp (89 kW; 122 PS). Production of the F-code 260 cu in (4.3 L) engine ceased when the 1964 model year ended. It was replaced with a new 200 hp (150 kW) C-code 289 cu in (4.7 L) engine with a two-barrel carburettor as the base V8
The 1967 model year Mustang was the first redesign of the original model. making the car bigger and heavier than the original, increasing interior size and boot capacity. The major mechanical feature was to allow the installation of a big-block V8 engine. Exterior trim changes included concave taillights, side scoop (1967 model) and chrome (1968 model) side ornamentation, square rear-view mirrors, and usual yearly wheel and gas cap changes. The high-performance 289 option was placed behind the newer 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE engine from the Ford Thunderbird, which was equipped with a four-barrel carburettor
Changes for the 1968 model increased safety with a two-spoke energy-absorbing steering wheel, along with newly introduced shoulder belts. Other changes included front and rear side markers, FORD lettering removed from hood, rear view mirror moved from frame to windshield, a 302 cu in (4.9 L) V8 engine was now available, and C-Stripe graphics were added.
The 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback reached iconic status after it was featured in the 1968 film Bullitt, starring Steve McQueen. In the film, McQueen drove a modified 1968 Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback. Two vehicles were used in the filming of the movie one of which still exists.
The 1969 model year restyle added more heft to the body with body length extended by 3.8 inches (97 mm) (the wheelbase remaining at 108 inches), width increased by almost half an inch, again increasing the Mustangs weight. 1969 was the first model to use quad headlamps placed both inside and outside the grille opening. The corralled grille pony was replaced with the pony and tribars logo, set off-centre to the drivers side. The car was longer than previous models and sported convex rather than concave side panels. The fastback body version was renamed Sportsroof, styled as SportsRoof in Ford's literature. The 1969 model year saw the introduction of the Mach 1, with a variety of powerplants options and many new styling and performance features.
