Production of the 1965 Ford Mustang (VIN coded by Ford and titled as 1965 models) began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9. It was the car which was affordable for everyone. Ford developed this car for the young couples even if they had no kids or with young kids. This is the reason that the car had two doors and four seats.
The Mustang was first shown on 17th of April 1964 on the World’s Fair in New York City. It was possible to design your own car by ordering multiple options. The car was available as a convertible and as an coupe and started at the cost of approximately $ 2.300. The public was outrageous and enthusiastic and the car dealers were not available to provide the demand.
On the 17th of April, the first day that the Mustang was available for sale to the public there were more then 22.000 cars sold at the price of the catalogue and some went for even more then this price. Ford hoped to sell 100.000 cars in the first year but this amount was already sold in four months. Eventually Ford sold 681.000 mustangs the first year. An absolute record!
