New Ford Mustang: 2000 Australian Deposits, Performance Pack Standard

Ford confirms 2000 orders for new Mustang
Performance Pack will be standard kit for local Mustang range

Ford Australia is again beating the drum for its incoming $44,990 Mustang, boasting of a huge order haul well ahead of a local debut set for later this year.

The company has today revealed that it is now holding “more than” 2000 deposits for the new coupe and convertible twins.

And, with Holden now confirmed to have no access to Chevrolet’s new Camaro, interest in the Mustang is likely to grow significantly over the months ahead.

Ford had already revealed last year that it had received some 13,000 ‘expressions of interest’, and if many of those had been waiting for word on a local Camaro launch, there may be more than a few Holden fans swinging Ford’s way.

There appears to be no shortage of excitement among existing fans: Ford says one customer has six orders to his name (likely one of each variant coming to Australia), and a rental company has ordered 20 examples.

‘Race Red’ is the “overwhelming” favourite for buyers so far, followed by Absolute Black and Magnetic (a dark metallic grey).
