The second year of mustang production saw limited changes to the
car. Unlike the 1964 model, there were several V8 options available.
This included a high output 289 "K code" and the famous
specially produced Carroll Shelby mustangs. Buyers could also choose
from a variety of body styles; hardtop, convertible, or fastback.
The pony car market was now in full swing!
