Bob,
Ford didn't market the first Mustangs as '64 or '64 1/2.  They were all '65 
models and production for that year ran about 18 months.  The VIN numbers 
identified them all as '65's.  The 64 1/2 designation seems to have been 
coined about the time people started collecting and restoring these gems to 
differentiate between the early and late '65 production.  There were many 
small differences that make them unique.
