What month and year did Ford start making the Fastback?
Asked by mtroidl Dec 08, 2006 at 05:59 PM about the 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback RWD
Question type: General
It is my understanding that Ford did not start factory line production on the Fastback until the spring of 1965 in San Jose,CA.
Is this true? When did they first start making the car?

Ford started production on the Mustang fastback at the beginning of 1965. Carroll Shelby designed a modified version of the fastback, called the GT-350, and it was these that were produced in San Jose. They first appeared on January 27, 1965.

The term 'Fastback' was first used with the introduction of the 1963 1/2 Fords and Mercurys using the slanted roof line. That was the 'key'/'signature' of the 'half year' models introduction.
