Ford Revisits 1965 Styling for New Mustang 60th Anniversary Package

Ford has unveiled a limited edition Mustang 60th Anniversary Package, promising a blend of classic style and modern performance. This special edition, echoing the spirit of the original 1965 Mustang, is aptly limited to 1,965 units, reflecting the model’s debut year.

The anniversary edition will be available on the 2025 Mustang GT Premium model, in both coupe and convertible options. Notably, the special edition incorporates design elements inspired by the first-generation Mustang, including distinctive fender badges, rocker panel stripes and a unique wheel design that calls back to the 1960s.

“Mustang’s design DNA has never been stronger or more enduring,” said Matt Simpson, General Manager of Ford Enthusiast Vehicles. “We’ve woven historical cues into the modern fabric of the Mustang to celebrate its iconic status across generations.”

Key features of the Mustang 60th Anniversary package include exclusive badges reminiscent of the 1965 Mustang cloisonné badges, unique 20-inch wheels in Dark Gravity Gray with bright machined details and optional side graphics in Iconic Silver or Vermillion Red. The package also introduces a new grille design, incorporating silver-accented nostrils that serve as functional air intakes, enhancing the vehicle’s performance aesthetic.

The interior of the anniversary model does not shy away from luxury, offering options like Space Gray, Carmine Red or Black Onyx colors — complete with an exclusive serialized badge adorning the instrument panel, emphasizing the car’s collectible status. Additionally, Ford pushed out a software update that enables Mustang owners to give their vehicle a vintage look with a ’60s-inspired digital gauge cluster.

Ford has also tailored the car’s exterior colors to include classic shades such as Wimbledon White, Race Red and a new Vapor Blue, allowing enthusiasts to choose a color scheme that best fits their style.

Stefan Taylor, Senior Designer at Ford, highlighted the care taken to merge nostalgia with modernity. “During the design process, we closely examined the 1965 Mustang’s finely detailed elements,” he explained, adding”Our aim was to capture the essence of the ‘65 model while enhancing the Mustang’s established reputation as a contemporary sports car.”

Those looking to secure an allocation won’t have to wait long, with the roll-out of the 60th Anniversary Package expected to begin fourth quarter and orders set to open as early as this summer — with pricing details to be announced as this date nears.
