What year was the first Ford Mustang GT?

I’m a huge fan of the Ford Mustang, but I always want to learn more about this iconic vehicle. One of my first cars was the Mustang GT, so I’m trying to gather more information about its history. What year did the first Ford Mustang GT come out?

A great question! The original Ford Mustang debuted with the 1964½ model. However, the year of the first
Ford Mustang GT
was 1965.
Unlike the Ford Mustang GT of today, which is one of several trims, the 1965 Mustang GT was an add-on package that was available for $165. It didn’t come with any upgrade to the engine, providing improved exterior aesthetics and some interior features instead. Some of the highlights of this model include:
  • Rocker panel racing stripes
  • GT badging
  • Driving lights located inside the grille
  • Dual exhaust
  • Disc brakes
  • A full gauge instrument cluster
