What is...

What the hell is a 84 1/2 Mustang?

Is it better than a 84 Mustang?

Does it come just short of a 85 Mustang?

All you muscle car lovers, help me with this one...

VW has been known for it as well.

All it means is they changed body styles in the middle of the 84 model year. Not an '84, but not an '85.

I know they had an anniversary edition that came with markings that said "gt500" or "gt350" one of which came with a turbo 4 cyl... a mechanic I know had one... not sure if it was 84.5 or not though... it was DEFINATELY around there though... it was FAST.

and chris ya it was 64.5 for the first mustang... (my mom/dad have one... not all 64.5 parts though (not restored original))

I can find out from the guy who had the anniv. edition turbo though.

just fyi almost ever car company makes changes mid-run... some 93 civics had pass. airbag as an option where it was unavailable in the early run of that year and totally unavailable in the 92 model year...

Sometimes it takes the engineers too long to get a working part for the model so they release it and add the option when they can. If it's a big draw option they introduce it in the middle of the year to increase sales for that year.

I will look in one of my mustang books. people also claim that there is a 25th anniversary model and there is not. Most GTs before 85 had a turbo four, also the SVO had a turbo four. Good engine though, it can take 25psi of boost with stock internals.
