Mustang 60th Anniversary

Preproduction model shown. Available fall 2024.
Sixty years and seven generations after the Ford Mustang debuted at the 1964 New York World’s Fair, Ford is celebrating the heritage of one of the most iconic vehicles in automotive history with a limited-edition Mustang 60th Anniversary package.
The Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary package is only available for the GT Premium with 5.0-liter V8 and will be available on both coupe and convertible models with either manual or automatic transmissions.
Building upon the iconic design cues that have defined the Mustang, it features a unique dash plaque and exclusive exterior features that create a special look and feel that brings classic accents of the original car that debuted in 1964 into the modern era.
“The design was directly inspired by the clean silhouette of the original car,” said Stefan Taylor, senior designer. “During the design process, we looked closely at the finely detailed elements of the 1965 Mustang, like the fender badges and wheel center caps. Our focus was capturing the feel of the ‘65, while also staying true to the Mustang as the modern sports car that it is.”
Here are the key features of the Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package.
-
Exclusive 60th Anniversary badges on the fenders and trunk lid are a modern take on the 1965 Mustang cloisonné badges
-
Unique 20-inch wheels finished in Dark Gravity Gray with bright machined details featuring a Vermillion Red, retro-themed stamped aluminum center cap inspired by the 1965 Mustang center caps
-
Exclusive side graphics which can be optioned in either Iconic Silver or Vermillion Red and are reminiscent of Mustang’s original rocker panel stripes
-
New grille with a unique mesh design as a callback to the 1964 original made modern with silver-accented nostrils that are also functional air intakes for the 5.0-liter V8
- Smoked housing of standard Mustang Nite Pony headlights allows silver-accented nostrils to stand out
-
Iconic Silver mirror caps on Race Red, Vapor Blue cars callback to chrome mirrors of old, while Wimbledon White cars adopt body-color mirror caps
Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package is available in classic Wimbledon White, modern Race Red and Vapor Blue colors.
Interior colors available in Space Gray, Carmine Red or Black Onyx.
And inside, there is a serialized 60th Anniversary instrument panel badge.
The Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package is a limited-production model, with only 1,965 being made available as a nod to the official first model year of the car. The Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package will be available to order this summer and is set to hit dealerships nationwide in the fourth quarter of this year. Pricing will be available nearer to the on-sale date.
Ford Mustang Global Gallop Celebrates Mustang 60 Around the World
By Matt Simpson, Ford Enthusiast Vehicles General Manager
Ford Mustang is celebrating its 60th anniversary. For 60 years it has been a fixture on roads and racetracks around the world and has earned its status as a symbol of driving freedom and excitement across oceans and national borders.
Today, Mustang is sold on six of the seven continents. It’s available in 85 markets, and you’re as likely to see one on George Street in Sydney, the Gran Via in Madrid, or Avenida Atlântica in Rio de Janeiro as you are parked on your local street. There’s also the electric Mustang Mach-E, also available around the world, for customers who love the thrill of instant Mustang torque and zero emissions.
This year stands out not just for the global celebration of Mustang’s 60th year on sale, but for the arrival of the all-new seventh-generation Mustang around the globe.
To celebrate, we’re putting 2024 Mustang and Mustang Mach-Es in the hands of 60 journalists, content creators, and Mustang ambassadors from around the world for the Ford Mustang Global Gallop. The challenge is very simple: Get out there and drive someplace epic in a Mustang.
Because that’s always been the strength of Mustang. It’s a car built for experiencing the open road with emotion, performance, and excitement and for drivers who are always wondering what’s around the next bend.
Now, I’d love to tell you about what makes one person’s ultimate Mustang road trip, but to be frank, I don’t know what our ambassadors will come up with. A North American ambassador could retrace Route 66 in a Mustang Convertible or drive to the top of Pike’s Peak in a Mach-E Rally, while a European ambassador might trek to Romania and drive the Transfăgărășan highway in a Mustang Dark Horse. The point is these experiences are up to the imaginations of the our ambassadors.
Andy To (@Andyto), Lauren Stoney (@lalafox92), and Uma Leoni (@Leonis.studios) are just some of the people taking part, with more to come as the year continues. But we won’t be waiting long to find out what adventures they’ll take Mustang on – the first journeys start in May.
And Mustang fans can follow along at #FordMustangGG and #Mustang60 (or use those tags for your own adventures). And once the 60 road trips are complete, we’ll wrap Mustang’s 60th year on the market with an epic recap of Ford Mustang Global Gallop.
This was always going to be a milestone year for Mustang, but the Ford Mustang Global Gallop makes it bigger and more worldly than ever.
