AC Cars started production of the coil-spring chassis in the late summer of '64. Shelby received the first bare prototype chassis in October of that year. The first 427 race car was a prototype which used an alloy skin cobbled together from a race 289 with added flaring around the wheel openings, and this car first appeared in late '64/ early '65 during initial testing. So one could say 427 production started then. The first 427 Cobra production car wasn't finished until the spring of '65, and delivery of the cars really didn't get ramped up until April/ May. I hope this clarifies things somewhat.
