Comments of this past auction
Technik: Offiziell sind auch die frühen Mustang-Modelle, produziert vor September 1964, dem Modelljahr 1965 zugeordnet. Sie hatten unter anderem einen etwas kleineren Kühlergrill und den 4,3-Liter-V8-Motor (260 Kubikzoll) aus dem Ford Falcon, statt des ab September verwendeten 4,7-Liter-V8-Motors (289 Kubikzoll). Um diese ersten Fahrzeuge von den ab September gebauten zu unterscheiden, werden sie inoffiziell meist als „Modelljahr 1964 ½“ bezeichnet. Die ersten Ford Mustang waren weiße Cabriolets mit roter Innenausstattung, die am 9. März 1964 in Dearborn vom Band rollten. Sie wurden der nordamerikanischen Öffentlichkeit durch eine umfangreiche Werbekampagne nahegebracht. Bereits vor der offiziellen Präsentation waren Fernseh-Werbespots unter dem Motto The Unexpected gelaufen. Am 17. April 1964 wurde der Mustang im Rahmen der New Yorker Weltausstellung erstmals gezeigt, ab 19. April liefen auf allen drei landesweit sendenden Fernsehkanälen neue Fernsehspots, in denen der Wagen, anders als bei den Spots im Vorfeld, auch zu sehen war. Von 1964 bis 1979 wurde der Ford Mustang als Ford T5 in Deutschland angeboten. Der Preis betrug 1966 in der 3,3-Liter-Version mit Hardtop 16.100 DM. Nach heutiger Kaufkraft und inflationsbereinigt entspricht dies rund 41.000 Euro.
