2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Preview
Commemorating 60 years of its iconic pony car, Ford is rolling out a limited-production, special-edition 2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary package that pays homage to the original 1965 Mustang, launched at the 1964 New York World’s Fair.
Ford based the Mustang 60th Anniversary package on the current Mustang GT Premium trim. Naturally, a V8 engine comes standard, and the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) sports car is available with a manual or automatic transmission in coupe and convertible body styles. Ford will only produce 1,965 examples of the limited-edition Mustang—a nod to the car’s first official model year.

The exterior of the 2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary package is a throwback to the original, borrowing design cues from the 1965 Mustang GT. The grille features a mesh design with silver-accented “nostrils” at the edges that help direct air into the engine. Further enhancing the look are Mustang Nite Pony headlights with smoked housings.
Buyers can choose between three exterior colors: Wimbledon White, Race Red, and Vapor Blue. White cars have body-color mirror caps, while those on red and blue versions come in Iconic Silver—a throwback to the chrome mirrors of yore.
Like many special-edition muscle cars from other brands (we’re looking at you, Chevy and Dodge), the 60th Anniversary Mustang relies heavily on decals, badging, and graphics to set it apart. True to form, “60th Anniversary” badges, reminiscent of the cloisonné versions on the ’65 Mustang, adorn the fenders and trunk lid. Body side graphics, available in Iconic Silver or Vermillion Red, harken back to the rocker panel stripes on the original Mustang.

Special touches on the interior of the Mustang 60th Anniversary are minimal, especially compared to the exterior modifications. Inside, there’s a serialized “60th Anniversary” badge on the instrument panel and a unique plaque on the dashboard. Otherwise, standard and optional features mimic those of the Mustang GT Premium trim, upon which Ford bases this special edition.
Interior highlights include power-adjustable heated and cooled leather seats, configurable instruments, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a heated, flat-bottom steering wheel.
Ford limits interior color choices on the 60th Anniversary Mustang to Space Gray, Carmine Red, and Black Onyx.

The 2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary shares its powertrain with the Mustang GT. That means a 480-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8 engine working with a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. In true pony car fashion, 418 pound-feet of torque goes to the rear wheels. For those looking to squeeze every last drop of power from their Mustang, opting for the available active exhaust system nets another six horses.
The 60th Anniversary Mustang also shares its suspension setup with the GT, but the former has unique 20-inch wheels finished in Dark Gravity Gray. In yet another throwback to the 1965 GT, the wheels feature a stamped aluminum center cap in Vermillion Red.

2025 Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Competitors - Find the best Ford Mustang deals!
With the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger officially canceled (for now), the pony car race will soon have but one competitor. However, Dodge will soon bring to market a new “challenger,” if you will—the all-electric 2024 Charger Daytona and, for 2025, the gas-powered Charger, both available as a two-door coupe. Until then, Mustang fans have plenty of options to keep them entertained.
