As I recall, while there is a breakdown of the total cars produced by year within each body style, there are no data breakouts available for the number of K-kars built by year/body style.

Quote from jeller68So of the 7273 K Cars produced in 1965. There is no documentation on how many fastbacks ?
Anywhere ?
No reliable figures known at this point, sorry.
The Ford data for 65-66 was disposed of a long time ago. You can extrapolate the other data figures and come up with what you think might be a guess, but that's all it would be. Suffice to say there weren't that many K codes.
Has anyone ever seen or heard of a further breakdown of the 65 year model K code cars? i.e. How many 64.5 Ks were produced?

I know of no such breakdown relative to the number of '64-1/2' cars produced. I think as far as Ford was concerned, from April 17 thu to the start of the 66 models year, all of the first production run were '65 models. I believe we rabid Mustangers are the ones who coined the 64 1/2 identifier for those early cars that had generators. I expect from Fords point of view, going to an alternator (and other mechanical improvements) was simply a running engineering change.

I've heard that the 64 1/2 term got started by Ford Parts Managers once they realized just about everything was different between a generator and alternator car.
Other than the special Indy 500 Pace car K-codes, the earliest regular production K kar date i've seen is June 8' 64.
With the 65 model year/alternator cars beginning in early August that makes for a "production year" that was all of about 7 weeks long.
just knowing that you can imagine how few 64 1/2 K kars were ordered & produced.
Other than the special Indy 500 Pace car K-codes...
Those cars were built on the assembly line as F code 260 convertibles.
