Ford Unveils Retro-Infused Mustang 60th Anniversary Package
Based on the GT Premium, Ford plans to produce 1,965 Mustang 60th Anniversary Package models in Race Red, Wimbledon White, and Vapor Blue.
Six decades ago today, the Ford Mustang made its national debut, kickstarting arguably the most successful new-car launch in automotive history. Ford sold 1.4 million Mustangs through the end of the 1966 model year. And although sales figures have never quite matched those first few years, the iconic Mustang has remained in continuous production ever since. A feat that no other American sports car or pony car has been able to match***. To celebrate, Ford unveiled the retro-infused, limited edition Mustang 60th Anniversary Package. Ford today is also celebrating the Mustang’s 60th Birthday at Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina.
Available on 2025 Mustang GT Premium coupes and convertibles, Ford plans to produce 1,965 units with a mix of manual and automatic transmissions. Color options are American-themed, of course — Race Red, Vapor Blue, and Wimbledon White, a classic Mustang shade that was last seen adorning the 2020 Shelby GT350 Heritage Edition.
Reaching back to the 1965 model year for inspiration, the Mustang 60th Anniversary Package features unique 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels with 1965 GT-inspired Vermillion Red center caps as well as fender and trunk badges. Shelby-esque side stripes also say 60th Anniversary and will be available in Vermillion Red or Iconic Silver. Up front, the limited edition features a 1964-inspired front grille with Iconic Silver air inlets as well as smoked headlight housings from the Mustang Nite Pony package.
On the inside, the package will be available in three color options — Space Gray, Carmine Red, or Black Onyx — and features a serialized 60th Anniversary badge on the passenger side of the dashboard.
“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.”
The current Mustang GT, and 2025 Mustang 60th Anniversary Package, will be powered by the 4th generation 5.0L Coyote V8, producing up to 486 horsepower when equipped with the optional active valve exhaust. (Or more if you upgrade to an aftermarket exhaust.) The manual transmission is the latest iteration of the six-speed MT-82, which first debuted in 2011 along with the first generation Coyote V8. The automatic transmission is the latest version of the 10R80, a 10-speed automatic co-developed with General Motors that debuted in the Mustang in 2018.

Pricing & Availability
The 2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package will be available to order this summer, with deliveries starting before the end of the year. Pricing has yet to be announced. But if it’s anything like the 2015 50th Anniversary Edition, expect dealers to add a significant markup to the base MSRP, which should slot in just below the current Dark Horse.

***The Chevrolet Corvette recently celebrated its 70th Anniversary, a historic achievement no doubt. However, due to delays GM faced during the development of its 4th generation, the Corvette missed the 1983 model year completely outside of a few prototypes. So, while some may call the Corvette the longest-running American sports car nameplate, we would argue that the Mustang’s run is more continuous.
