Default Not a Shelby but...an interesting tussle

The Mustang II in the Owls Head Museum, a concept car with no bumpers and extended nose, is listed on their website as a 1963 Mustang. Yet there is some argument going on now about which '64 Mustang is the oldest Mustang between two organizations that say they own the first Mutang. Why can't they consider this '63 the oldest?
It reminds me of when I was researching Corvettes I came across the fact that a few '63 Corvettes that were built on the '62 assembly line as what they call "Pilot Production" models, built solely to acquaint the workers on the line with how the new car goes together. These cars weren't supposed to be sold but damned if they didn't slip out....what say you?
