A Shelby mustang is and was a modified Mustang tuned by Carroll Shelby's company. Shelby was commissioned by Ford to basically hot-rod Ford's best stock Mustangs and make them able to compete successfully in factory racing, as well as to build a scaled down road version that could be sold to the public. Ford, like Ferrari, believed in the adage of "race on Sunday, sell on Monday". Although he was involved in the 1965 model, the first real Shelby Mustang in name cam later, when production for the last Shelby Cobra ceased.

Why is the Ford Mustang named after the mustang?
The Ford team in charge of naming the Mustang went through many possibilities, including Cougar, Torino, and Venice. Mustang was finally decided upon; #1- because WWII had… ended no too long ago, and the P-51 Mustang Fighter airplane played an incredibly important role in the war; and #2- The Mustang (horse) represented an untameable spirit which they thought would perfectly represent the car and its intended buyers. This is also why the galloping horse logo is running the opposite way that trained racehorses run around a track - that it will always be a free spirit, and follow its own will. R.H. Bob Maguire, my boss, and I were looking through a list of names for the car. I had been reading about the P-51 Mustang airplane and suggested the name Mustang in remembrance of the P-51, but Bob thought the name as associated with the airplane was too 'airplaney' and rejected that idea. I again suggested the same name Mustang, but this time with a horse association because it seemed more romantic. He agreed and we together selected that name right on the spot, and that's how it got its name. From "Mustang Genesis: The Creation of the Pony Car" by Robert A. Fria Taken from the Ford Website.

When was the first Ford Mustang built?
The first Ford Mustang was built in 1964. It debuted in April 1964 and was dubbed the 1964 and a 1/2. They were a mid-year car and some people called them 64 1/2's, but th…ey were actually '65's. Actually...the first Mustangs are indeed '64 1/2's...and recognized by Mustang Club of America as a separate run of Mustangs. The reason for this is varied, but one of the primary reasons is that the '64 1/2 had a generator, while the '65 cars were given alternators. There is also some difference in the radiator frame between the two years. Also the '65 was the first year for the fastback...which was not available for the '64 1/2 run.
