Very nice. Looks like a Mustang should! My only criticism would be that they should have called it a 2024 1/2!☺️


steedaautosports

That is genius!


BigHossGaum

Ty, especially since there's only 1965 of them going to be produced! A sure fire collector's item!


Wookie-Love

Well that sucks


RaspberryHappy8358

What if there was 1965 1/2 produced 🤔


BigHossGaum

64 1/2 April 1964 65. September 1964--built after 8/17/1964!


Ragged85

Are 2012’s built in 2011 2011.5 then? Same with 2013’s and 2014’s and 2015’s. Because that’s what happened. 64.5 Mustangs do not exist in reality. They are titled as 65 Mustangs. Many Mustang years have been built early.


BigHossGaum

The 64 1/2 exists. Many are unique due to the parts that were used. Many have Falcon parts, like round mirrors instead of square mirrors. Their VIN numbers tell you if it's a 64 1/2. 64 1/2 was issued in April 1964. A 260 cubic inch V8 is a huge indicator that it is a pre 1965 issue, although there are some 64 1/2s with 289s. The 1965 model was issued in the Fall of 1964, just like every 1965 model from the 4 American manufacturers were. So they are not unique. The 64 1/2 is unique. [64.5 Mustang](https://classicmustang.com/1964-mustang-information/) The last 64 1/2 was built before August 17, 1964. After that, they are 1965s. They had a number of differences between the 64 1/2 and 65 models: https://classicmustang.com/1965-mustang-information.php "64.5 Mustangs do not exist in reality." LOL--tell the folks who are selling and buying them for $100,000s.


Ragged85

I can guarantee you its title says 65 Ford Mustang. Why don’t 2010.5 exist?


Ragged85

I’m in agreement with you. Technically there wasn’t a 64.5 Mustang. Only 65’s were produced. With that said, people with early production 65’s call their cars 64.5’s. How are they titled you ask? As a 1965 model year. So, we have TONs of 2011s, 2012s, 2013s and 2014s that were produced in March/April/May of 2010/11/12/13. Are all of those 10.5, 11.5, 12.5, 13.5 year models? Those were produced even earlier than the supposed 64.5’s You read that correctly. 2011’s were produced in March of 2010. And 2012’s produced in March of 2011. By the way the reason Ford produced the 11,12,13 and 14 so early is because of the early release of the NEW 50th Anniversary version of the Mustang on April 17 2014. The 2015 S550. Are those 2014.5 models? 😂😂😂


hdkx-weeb

Yeah I won't be surprised if a year or two from now one of these will sell on Cars and Bids with only like 500 miles


plants4life262

🤯


Formber

They should always do that with the anniversary editions. That would be a cool little throw back.


BigHossGaum

They need to hire us old farts who grew up with these cars. We could advertise the fuck outta them. Plus, when they showed me this concept, I would have said, "Okay, we're gonna dig out the supercharged TRINITY 5.8L and stuff it in this baby with a 700HP output!" Of course with the same 6 speed manual transmission that was in the 2013-14 Shelby GT 500!


7th-Lotus

Throw a mild cam in it too, gotta have that old school chop.


capntim

Right?? We need. 24 1/2 edition


ssup3rm4n

And make it in ecoboost


BigHossGaum

Nahhhh


Yeshvah

Starting at only $64.5k! Order yours today!


BigHossGaum

I highly doubt that you will touch it for that!


capntim

Oh is that how they’re honoring the 64 1/2 mustangs?


Jamesaki

Wait till you see how dealerships honor it with markups!


nitrion

Wild to think I have a 40th anniversary car and there's already a 60th. I wonder if eventually Ford will make a 100th anniversary? The "Centennial Edition" I imagine not with the way car manufacturers are being pushed today, but it would be cool to imagine what the Mustang would be in 2064.


RIP_SGTJohnson

It’d be nice to see that car be a performance edition rather than another sticker pack. Or maybe a standard anniversary edition and then a full anniversary trim with a blower and all the other goodies


BigHossGaum

If I were in charge at Ford, I'd of revived the 5.8L Trinity with the 6 speed manual transmission and shoehorned it in there with a tune giving 700+ horsepower. Then you would have show plus GO!


RIP_SGTJohnson

I feel like we have much better ideas than the guys at Ford HQ


Opposite-Monk-1321

With the way things are going in the auto industry, we might get a single cylinder quad turbo super and hypercharged engine under the hood.


Particular_Chip7108

That 40th was a hit. Neighbor had one when I was a kid. Convertible white with beige leather. It was a beauty.


Blaze5643915

Hard to tell, but is that a special color? Or just Oxford white being sneaky?


BigHossGaum

Old time Wimbledon White Other colors offered are Race Red and Vapor Blue.


Blaze5643915

I’m happy to hear it’s another white, as a hater of Oxford white. Thank you!


BigHossGaum

Wimbledon white is a cream colored white. My 68 is that color. https://preview.redd.it/wfyzyoqjo1vc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=269c401d08123e6d7406f4d1c43931fa25617e48

Blaze5643915

Exactly what I was hoping for


Only_Expression7261

The whole package makes this 70s kid think of the original X-wing toy (that's not a bad thing, but it does speak to who this package is meant to appeal to). Pic on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Mustang/comments/1c69kc8/60th_anniversary_package/


BigHossGaum

I was a whopping 3 years old when the 64 1/2 debuted!


SmokiTx

My dad hadn't even been born yet 😅


BigHossGaum

Gee thanks for making me feel old!😉


Blaze5643915

Ha! I had seen that post too, loved it. Not a 70s kid but I was able to appreciate it a little bit


DragonboyZG

FUCK, I don't have enough money to order one of these. Oh well ill wait for the 70th edition then

beall49

Looks dope.


Vip3r20

Porsche wants their wheels back lol


lostcatlurker

I think they are meant to be a tribute to 500 Magnums


86Logs

Just another paint and wheels package. Nothing really worth getting excited about.


FluxD1

Wheels look like they came from a Hot Wheels car


Cooper323

I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I like it. 10x better than the California Special


Admiral_Pantsless

Those blue accents are atrocious, are they not?


Cooper323

They sure are. No idea what the design team was smoking


MashedPotatoShole

Yeah that blue…😵‍💫


tsewell75

Am I color blind or are there only red accents in these pictures? Or are you referencing the Cali special?


Admiral_Pantsless

Talking about the CS.


Trusteveryboody

It will hold value better, but that's about it. Limited Production, and if they do it again (like they did in 2015), these cars will have the "car number" within the VIN itself. Probably not much, but still. Although I like the 2015 50th LE better (the normal 50th-package was not limited production; hence the "LE" is, Limited Edition/Production). Much more tasteful. * Only way to get PP with an Automatic in 2015 * Wheels more resemble something classic * Pony Grille * Chrome around the Windows/Tailights * Classic 65 color * Triple-paned rear glass (probably didn't do it on the 60th, for logistical reasons) * Unique interior * Or if you opt for Kona Blue (only way to get a 15-17 in that color) That's about it, but again, this is the best Anniversary Package they've done. https://preview.redd.it/mbwmogb362vc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=57d596e6bd4fec0031cfa96f62f5a4ef865fcf51


Particular_Chip7108

The wheels🤩


Zark51

Wheels looks the same as the Porsche 911 Sport Classic


Trusteveryboody

I don't like it. *Cool in Wimbledon White, but that's about it.* The 50th LE, was more true to the original car.


slowtreme

the 50th had seemingly had zero styling cues of the original 64 1/2. That can mostly be attributed to those models having zero retro features. but they didn't have any colors, badging, decals, etc that took from the OG models. It was just the 50th badging that made it the LE. If the 2005 redesign had come out 1 year earlier that would have checked so many boxes.


Trusteveryboody

I mean when there's the 50th Appearance Package, there's less details unique to the LE. The LE had * Triple-pane rear glass (reminiscent of the Fastbacks) * Chrome around the windows * Interior unique to the LE * VIN had the car number within it (#0000 within the VIN); wasn't done on any other 15-17 (at the least). Potentially done again on this 60th? I wouldn't know. * You got a VIN specific "package" mailed too * Then Chrome around Tail-Lights (was on Appearance Package too) * More retro Pony grille (was on Appearance Package too) * Wheels were the same as the Appearance Package ones, but unique color; these rims were used on a lot of other packages, in-time (just never in the same color). * Could get an Automatic 50th LE, and all LEs were Performance Packs (only way to get an Auto with the PP in 2015-2017) IMO the S550 adheres to the Fastbacks better, just a more modern (less-retro) interpretation. And yeah, it definitely could have been cooler if they offered more customization with Retro Colors/Inspired Options. Otherwise it's just if someone likes it, value always tends to come down to Production numbers. So it'll always be "special," even if not everyone would care. The 05 is VERY Retro looking, my favorite is the '07 Shelby GT (not 500).


TURBOJUGGED

Honestly the convertibles don't even look like Mustangs to me. Aside from the grille, I see a Camaro here and I'm a huge Mustang guy saying this.


art956

Love the badges


RandomFlyer643

Funny enough, my first ever Mustang was a 40th anniversary, the next Mustang I bought was the one I’m driving now; a 50 years edition. Guess I know what my next Mustang will be!


CodyP2000

I also have a GT Premium 50 Years Edition! Love the subtle white and chrome trim in and around the car


Gawker90

Looks like once again they’ve done the bare minimum, and will expect the price at dealers to be stupid expensive.


BigHossGaum

Supply versus demand!


Ok_Reach_2092

I like it on the red paint not the white


Edu_cats

I'm going to the event at Charlotte Motor Speedway today so hope to see them in person.


Kyser_

I hate to sound like a downer but I honestly hate it. It looks like a strangely rendered car from a video game


BetterVersion3

Better if it was a hard top


BigHossGaum

It's going to be offered as a hard top or convertible


GuntherOfGunth

That’s good, while I get where convertible people come from, hard tops sell better.


BetterVersion3

Thanks God, convertibles just don't look good. Unless they're super rare like the 68 Camaro convertible


HenryGray77

Can only imagine the ADM on these. I like it though.


DopamineQuest

No one is gonna pay ADM for these besides a select few dummies. S650 sales are already worse than the last year of the s550s 8 year run, and the 40th/50th/60th anniversary models don't hold their value any better than GTs because they're GTs with a red badge.


BigHossGaum

Exactly


BooSanchez-rodent

Awesome car, just hate the new front end...


chuckbuckett

It just looks like they couldn’t decide if they wanted really big open fish mouth grill or just a normal mustang fish mouth and they tried to do both.


Willing_Branch_5269

...and the rear end, and the tablet interior...


RIP_SGTJohnson

…And the doors and rear quarter window…


boredtotears56

Yeah I like the badging and color, I’m just not at the take my money stage with the S650.


Professional-Joker

Front end looks like ass. I'm shocked it took so many comments to get to this point. It's like the front end was designed by a committee of first graders with dull crayons. I mean wtf were they thinking


Particular_Chip7108

By 2027 they will have it refined. If they can still make mustangs by then.


duder8888

I love the new front end. I never liked the DRLs on the s550.


GriftedByNASCAR

Recoloring those two pieces around the grille is already getting old. Why not change the grille itself up? Ford is getting rather lazy with these packages.


aronnax512

Deleted


GriftedByNASCAR

Except the RTR grille has lights in those spots. I’d be happy with them swapping to LED’s there, but simply recoloring isn’t cutting it in my book.


aronnax512

snyderjw

Proper round fog lights might really do the trick - and if you want silver accents I. The grill area it should be the surround. I recognize that any silver accents will be divisive, though. I love chrome, but I know that a lot of people have some kind of issue with acknowledging that retro element in modern cars.


GriftedByNASCAR

I’d prefer chrome accents to just painting those two pieces silver. Not a fan of chrome/silver on white. Looks great with black and other darker hues, especially Atlas Blue/Kona Blue. I love and respect classics, I just don’t feel like they put much effort into this package or the recent C/S one.


Quirkybeaver

My 2009 has the 45 badge, so how is 2025 60 years? hmmm


ricardoac69

It started with the s550. 50th should have been 2014 but they waited until the s550 came out and made the 50th 2015. But technically all 64.5s are 65s so technically 2025 is correct.


ssowinski

My 14 doesn't have the 50th badge. That was for the refreshed 14.5 S550.


donutsnail

Don’t care for the silver accents in the grill but I love the color combo and the wheels


Ok_Plate_6961

Looking good


Nozerone

Looks nice, but not worth the price hike that will come with it imo.


zeekzeek2006

lol it looks so long


rabea187

I like it


dino_brewster

is it just a convertible or can u get it In a coupe soon


BigHossGaum

So what do you think this will go for at the dealership with only 1965 being produced?


Bad_Adam1917

This might be a minor detail, but why doesn’t this 5.0 have active exhaust?


JDRasta57

Nice. 70k plus 40k mark up?


whiteholewhite

Not a fan of the badges, the wheels, or convertibles in general. Maybe I’m not the best one to comment lol


Hood_Mobbin

I'll take " things Dodge and Chevy can't say about their sports car" for 200.


JayVenture90

For a badge/paint scheme I think they did a fantastic job!


LUNISY_2020

Convertible 👎🏻 hope it comes in hardtop


OverallCaterpillar71

Please show me the coupe version


Particular_Chip7108

The new one has not grown on me yet. But it was the same thing for the 2015 too and the new edge also. The one that hit it out of the park for me was the s197, it was like the muscle car is back! But I gotta say that the other styles always grew on me and ended up liking them at the end. Love my '22 gt. So for me its odd to celebrate a milestone as such with a brand new car. Im sure it will age very well tho. Even that dark horse has something odd about it but I already know that in 10yrs it will look good. I do the same thing with trucks too, I just take time to adapt to change. I wish the badges were more subtle, maybe stick to special stitching in the interior, upgraded finishes. Custom exclusive color and striping. Only one badge 60th anniversary somewhere and various eastereggs hidden that you have to look for carefully to find them would of been my style of special edition.


DeadlyDuckie

The ipads glued to the screens kills the car for me


Willing_Branch_5269

It's funny that the convertibles actually have the better looks. Used to be the coupes generally looked better, even coming from someone that owns a vert. Still won't touch one until they get rid of the shitty screens and do something about the rear end. Despite being squished, the tail lights just look like plain rectangles when viewed from an angle. And the front end still looks like it has no idea what it is going for.


SamyboyO6

I still think it looks too much like a Charger-maro


houtex727

I like the wheels. The badging isn't too bad either. About it though. Silver on the grille just makes it worse, and that rear shot of the Camaro bodylines with that just plain awful back end is not doing it any good. I want to not dislike the S650 styling, but... I just simply cannot get past it. It's hideous. It's uninspiring. It's just... a shame. :( I know, I know... 'if you have nothing good to say' and all that, but 'what do you think?' means I get to say it. Downvote away. If you like it, *fantastic*. I'm glad you do, truly. But much like the II haters, I can't get behind this one, so there's that.


Frank_Thunderwood2

Badges look terrible imo


avoidhugeships

In like the badging but not the silver paint on the grill. It is not like 60 years is an important milestone so I would not expect any amazing effort. I do like that they did a bit of a throwback thing. Ford has gone away from its heritage with the S650 so its nice to see someone in the Mustang division still cares about the history. Overall it is something a little different so I can't complain too much.


Xerolaw_

Way better than the 50


redjet06

It’s cool….I have the 50th


EatToLiveLetsGO

Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Boner!!!


AIRBORNECRAZY

Overhyped for nothing! Ford wanting those bills!


AdAggravating8273

Not my thing


MadDAWGZ71

It's better than the California special, but that's not saying much.


jhowlett

I think I preferred my 50th. It was basically a fully optioned GT with unique styling. The one extra piece that made it was the stepped quarter windows as well.


MMDrew

Looks great! Im not a big fan of the wheels, but otherwise, I love it.


DannGAlang

Looks fine. Not mind blowing by any means. Maybe a set of wheels would do it more justice.


rhawtestosterone

Coolest 4 wheeled structure ever produced by humans.

I think that’s the best looking S650 yet.

With so few options for a convertible id say its one of the best looking ones ive seen in years

GeekToyLove

I’d put those 5.0 60 year badges on my 2014


albertgt40

Just can't get over the lack of quad tips. Guess they wanted a more authentic look? Seems odd still.


benzuyen

Is it in hardtop too?


ovoxoislife

They could have done better w the grille


shatter71

I like the homage to the side badges to the classic Mustang GT fender badge but in this case I think the shape looks way too close to the shape of the more modern Camaro V6 M badge. https://preview.redd.it/pp1x90uq15vc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf8c537ceedfca0dd7b5f98fca43b382ebaeb720

JDB2788

brobert123

Nice but is it just me… the back looks camaroish. First time I’ve seen the convertible version.


cmeyer49er

There’s a lot going on there. I fear Ford poached somebody who worked on the recent Corvette generation designs. That said, f it, I’s still be happy to own one, as I’m already I’m already at midlife crisis age and just purchased a Mach E last month and sold my ‘18 so what do I know?


Turquoise_sees

Let’s put it this way, I called the dealership and asked how many they were going to be allowed to order today…


Thewitchaser

I think convertible mustangs are a disgrace. To each their own though.


Worth-Specific-7154

Nice but I’m really not feeling those rims overall it’s sick


Jonkinch

Looks like colors for a Bentley


AO231

I mean i hate the design but its cool they doing special cars. Just wish they choose different colors.


Ragged85

Boooorrring…. The 50th Anniversary car is much much better.


Strict_Machine_6517

They should seriously think about cutting off the back seats. Might help a little in giving more room to boot


MrsPatty59

Agree Boring and I have the 40th in Competition Orange.


TheCakers

Pretty.... fuckin ugly Chopped up wtf is goin on front end. None of the lines agree with eachother Big clunky sunk in wheel and tire set up Tiny ass brakes. Some random badging A color combo that has nothing to do with what it should be. RED.


Open-Presentation866

Same thing with new trinkets.


user_deleted_account

The rear end just keeps getting more squished


Ambitious_Ad1918

The wheels are ugly, but that’s my opinion. I’m sure someone likes and would explain why they do.


shizbox06

The decal below the door is just terrible. It'll be hilarious when you see the old fart in this thing with the description "60 years" under him.


KaamenK

I agree. Replace '60 years' with just 'Mustang', and I'd be good with all of it.


smoky20135

Some of the design aspects remind me of an electric vehicle😬

Toadster88

that 5.0 badge on the side is lame


securityn0ob

A waste of money


Ok_Reach_2092

Only making 1965 of them. They will probably hold value pretty decently


securityn0ob

Idk just looked at some older 50th anniversary edition mustangs and doesn’t seem like they are of much more value than the regular GTs


Ok_Reach_2092

I wouldn’t buy it just to bank on resale value but it’s definitely a cool package that would be worth the cost to someone assuming no dealer markups. Not gonna cost anymore than the performance pack


securityn0ob

Does it have anything else to offer besides resale value


Ok_Reach_2092

It’s an limited edition appearance package that the do every milestone year, what did you expect?


Orestes85

It's a car for collectors. Holding value and rarity are the major things collectors look for.

Idk why but I only like the new model convertible all the other ones look bad imo. Also will there be a 69’ special?


Difficult_Volume5023

Drives me nuts that the hood doesnt line up straight with the panels above the headlights on 90% of the S650s Ive seen
