Also a 63 1/2 Ford Fairlane 500, the fastback.
You friend must have had that confused with the 59 GTO. LOL |

Nope.
By the way, Ford does not recognize the "64 and a half" nomenclature (they officially refer to the Mustang as a '65). K

Same as theres no such thing as a "70 & 1/2" Camaro or Firebird....no matter how many print publications want to use the term. GM never referred to them like that.

Arbys,
That was a 63 1/2 Galaxie and it won the Daytona 500 in '63 if my memory serves me right.

It must be rare to find a 70 1/2 Firebird with a big block pontiac in it. I'll keep looking.

Question, didn't the 64 GTO come out midway in the Model year? That's why it's called 64 1/2, 63 1/2 70 1/2 etc for other makes.

Hardly midway, and I've never heard GTOs referred to in that way. K

My '64 GTO was built and delivered in March of 1964. I guess it must be a 64 1/2.

My 66 GTO was Baltimore built 3rd week of March 1966. Mine must be a 66 1/2. I wonder if I can get a DE vanity plate that says 66 1/2. LOL

I'm right behind you - mine rolled off the production line on April 17th. I think mine is a 64 and 5/8ths...

...don't forget the 69 1/2 Super Bee and Road Runners, the "Lift Off Hood" A12 cars...440 6-Pack and 440 6-BBL
63 1/2 Ford is well known and I have always heard the early Mustang refered to the 64 1/2 |
