Ford introduced the Mustang on April 17, 1964, and the public response was immediate and overwhelming â?" dealerships were mobbed, and Ford sold over 400,000 units in the first year alone. By the end of the 1965 model year, total Mustang production had surpassed 680,000 units across all body styles. The convertible, however, was always the more exclusive choice. Of the total 1965 Mustang production run, convertibles accounted for just over 101,000 units â?" a fraction of the hardcoupe numbers, and considerably rarer today in well-preserved condition.
