"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Bigfoot

Was it that car or the Goldfinger car reported to be very early 64.5 placed in there strategically by Ford?

Goldfinger movie is earlier but that in itself doesn't seal our fate.
RIP KIWI

Sky blue 65 Mustang according to this source.  64.5 for Goldfinger.  Looks like Goldfinger was the Mustang promotion movie.

Story of the fastback never made sense to me in that they suggest that a car built months later was built for a movie (movie filmed started in Jan) but can was built in approx October and then took time to be modified. Plenty of fastbacks could have been for the purpose earlier or even one of the prototypes used if this had been the plan all along.

Not having Fords records make it difficult to prove or disprove at times. Have seen two other cars with the same front valance on them over the years.
