While I believe you are correct as far as what the DMV's did...

This is what Ford says on that matter:

If you're looking to get an idea of the Mustang's sales and how each model was received, it's best to look at yearly American sales. We've built a list of car sales by model year using data from Ford, as well as historical information from The Mustang Source, Edmunds Mustang History, RideLust, and Wikipedia's Mustang sales sources.


Ford separates the production numbers for the early production Mustangs from the 1965 models because they were different.

The early production cars only had the 170 ci 6 or the 260 ci V8's available. The true 1965 models didn't have those engine options. For the true 1965 models, as defined by Ford, the engine options included the 200 ci 6 and the 289 2bbl and 4bbl.
