The latest iteration of the Ford Mustang, particularly the S650 Mustang GT, has made significant advancements in speed, strength, grip, and comfort when compared to its predecessor, the iconic 1993 Ford Mustang. However, there is one area where the retro model still shines: color. The classic 1993 Mustang Cobra was available in a vibrant teal, a shade that many enthusiasts fondly associate with the 1990s. Unfortunately, this bold color option was previously absent from the modern Mustang lineup. Fortunately, the new Mustang FX Package has arrived to rectify this oversight and infuse a dose of nostalgia into the contemporary Mustang experience.
The Mustang FX Package is a tribute to the beloved Fox Body Mustang, which was produced from 1979 to 1993. This third-generation Mustang is remembered for its angular design and distinct style, steering the brand away from the less favorable aesthetics of earlier models. If your memories of 1993 are intertwined with the soundtracks of popular hits—whether it was the soulful ballads from The Bodyguard or rock anthems from Aerosmith—the FX Package is designed with your nostalgic heart in mind.
While the striking teal paint is a notable absence, the FX Package delights in its attention to detail that brings back the essence of the early '90s. The classic Mustang lettering, once found on the rear glass and dashboard of the 1993 model, has made a comeback. This nostalgic emblem is now featured as a rear windshield sticker and a unique dash plaque in the new Mustang.
One of the standout features of the Mustang FX Package is its aesthetic enhancements. The wheels are painted white, with two unique designs available—one paying homage to the original Fox designs. These new wheels measure 19 inches in diameter and are equipped with high-performance tires, offering a significant upgrade from the previous 16-inch wheels paired with 245-wide Goodyear Eagles.
The exterior is dominated by a bright Oxford White finish, including white GT badges, 5.0 badges, and the iconic Mustang Pony logos. For those looking to customize further, Ford Performance offers optional white-accented taillights. Standard models come with a dark grille, while performance variants feature striking white nostrils, adding to the car's aggressive appearance.
Inside the Mustang, the FX Package continues to celebrate its retro roots. Both the standard bucket seats and the performance-oriented Recaro seats are adorned with a plaid fabric reminiscent of the Fox Mustang era. With contrast stitching in silver and a shade called Adriatic Blue, the interior exudes a nostalgic charm. To enhance the retro feel even more, Ford has included a Fox Body gauge cluster design, ensuring the cabin is a perfect blend of modern performance and classic style.
The Mustang FX Package is exclusively available for the GT Premium models, offering options for both coupe and convertible styles, as well as a choice between a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. Enthusiasts will be pleased to know that the Adriatic Blue Metallic paint will be available across all Mustang models, even those not equipped with the FX styling. Additionally, the vibrant Orange Fury returns after a hiatus since 2019, along with new seat belt color options in orange, blue, and black with red stripes.
As the order books for the Mustang FX Package open later this month, enthusiasts should act quickly. This captivating ride is sure to grab attention and turn heads on the road. If you hesitate, you might miss out on this remarkable blend of modern performance and nostalgic design. Don't be left behind—embrace your inner '90s spirit with the new Mustang FX Package and make a statement wherever you go!
