Exactly sixty years ago yesterday, Ford gave a large-scale press conference. The three largest American television networks broadcast the press conference live, of course with some financial motivation from Ford. A new model was presented: the Ford Mustang. It turned out to be a good move, because four months after the presentation, more than 100,000 pony cars had been sold and less than two years later the millionth Mustang rolled out of the factory. And that sixtieth birthday should be celebrated.
You can see the Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary as the cake to celebrate the birthday with. The Mustang Experience Center will also be opened at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in the United States and the Mustang GT3 will receive a special paint scheme. But in our opinion, the best way for Ford to celebrate is with the old gauges in the new Mustang.
The old counters of the new Ford Mustang
Ford adds the old counters to the current Mustang with a software update. To download the update, Mustang drivers must enable the 'Automatic Software Updates' feature and schedule the update via the 'Software Updates Settings' menu. After this, you can get the 1967 and 1968 Mustang gauges on the 12.4-inch instrument screen.
By the way, these are not the only old counters that you can get on the screen of the new Ford Mustang. By default, you can choose Normal, Sport, Circuit, Calm and Fox Body for the display. The latter is another classic. You can see how fast you are driving and how many revolutions you are making via the counters of the Fox Body Mustang, the third Mustang generation that was built from 1987 to 1993.
How much does a new Ford Mustang cost these days?
In the Netherlands and Belgium you can only order the latest Mustang with a V8 engine. The GT with manual transmission costs at least 131,900 euros (58,460 euros in Belgium) and with a ten-speed automatic transmission the Mustang costs at least 136,400 euros (61,460 euros in Belgium). For even better work, choose the Dark Horse. It costs 145,400 euros in the Netherlands with a manual gearbox (70,260 euros in Belgium) and with an automatic transmission 149,900 euros (73,260 euros in Belgium). Or would you rather wait until the GTD arrives?
Fun surprise for 2024 @FordMustang owners today… we're rolling out a software update that allows you to give your Mustang a vintage look with a new digital gauge cluster. It's inspired by the design of 1967-68 Mustangs. So cool! And delivered with a software update! #Mustang60 pic.twitter.com/BbxBzWgadD
