The Camaro officially went on sale in dealerships on September 29, 1966, for the  1967 model year.  The first generation Camaro includes the year models 1967,  1968 and 1969.  The look of the 1969 Camaro was changed to a more angular look,  the wheel wells were squared off, the dashboard was updated with  square gauges and the tachometer was optional.  This was the last of the first  generation Camaro and Chevrolet offered a ton of engine choices, everything from  straight line six cylinder engine to an incredible 427 cubic inch monster that  was part of the special order ZL-1. Most buyers picked the small block V-8.  The  Camaro was a built as  a family car with its 2 by 2 seating and is considered to  be Chevrolet’s
This model was produced for 6 months before refinements were made, the ones  produced within the next 6 months are considered to be 1965.  But technically  they are all 1965 Mustangs, I will  still call it a 1964 1/2.   Besides knowing  the date it was manufactured, how can you tell if it is a 1964 1/2?  It  has to  be factory-equipped with a generator charging system, a 170ci six (U-code), a  260 2V (F-code), or a 289 4V (D-code) low-compression, large horns mounted down  on the frame behind the radiator, a brake light pressure switch on the master  cylinder, a center “off” heater fan switch, and a generator charge light, just  to name the basics. These are features exclusive to Mustangs built between early  March and July 31, 1964.
