What month and year did Ford start making the Fastback?

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.

(My Christmas present. :-)) It was the first Fastback Mustang in the Los Angeles area. When I would park it downtown or in the Wilshire area, there would be a crowd (c. 6-12 people) standing around looking at it for the first few months. It was dark metallic green, chrome spoke wheels, red line tires, green interior, 289 V8, auto transmission. It was a great car! I drove it up and down the coast road to San Francisco several times. Loved every mile!

Also: Several months later I moved to San Francisco and drove all the same streets as Bullitt, long before him. :-), in the same color, but previous version "Stang.
