Ford launched the Mustang 50 years ago last week at the New York World’s Fair. To celebrate the iconic pony car’s birthday, the company has revealed a 2015 Mustang 50 Year Limited Edition, just 1,964 examples of which will be built. The limited edition model, scheduled to go on sale this fall, premiered at the New York auto show, which runs through April 27.
The 50th Anniversary Edition will be based on the 2015 Mustang GT fastback with the performance pack, and it will only be available in two colors: Kona blue or Wimbledon white, like the car above, as a nod to the first-ever Mustang with Serial No. 0001 that was sold to Capt. Stanley Tucker in April of 1964. The 50th Anniversary Mustang will be powered by the upgraded 5.0-liter V8 making 420-hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, and as part of the Mustang GT performance pack, it will feature large six-piston Brembo front brakes and 19-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Y-speed-rated Pirelli P-Zero summer tires.
