2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is on its way to dealers now

And the 2021 Mustang lineup as a whole is here with a handful of changes.

Rejoice, pony car fans. The first cars from a limited batch of 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 models is now on its way to dealers, the automaker said on Thursday. The Blue Oval said the first cars left the assembly plant and are en route to dealers as you read this, plus it detailed a few other changes to the 2021 Mustang.

We already know the whole story surrounding the bridge-building Mustang Mach 1, but those shopping other ponies will find some changes. For instance, the latest Mustang Shelby GT500 now features an optional Carbon Fiber Handling Package. As the name implies, it adds, well, carbon fiber and more handling gear. Specifically, the package bundles 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels, adjustable strut top mounts, a Gurney flap and more.

For both the standard Mustang and Shelby, buyers can also choose to coat their cars in new Grabber Yellow, Antimatter Blue and Carbonized Gray Metallic paints. The Mustang Mach 1, meanwhile, introduces its exclusive Fighter Jet Gray hue. These aren't major changes, to be sure, but it's always fun to see Ford updating the color palette to keep the Mustang fresh. Grabber Yellow, in particular, looks quite good.

The official build and price tool is live for all Mustang models as of this morning, so you can click through and build your dream 2021 Mustang, should you so desire.

My son bought a brand new Mustang six speed manual a few years ago. It was pretty awesome. But then he traded it in on a BMW M4. He doesn’t even take the Mustangs seriously any more. The BMW is at a completely different level. I’ve been in both. Truth be told, I don’t even LIKE BMW’s. I think they are overpriced, but holy cow is this thing awesome compared to the old Mustang.

Oh, and he REALLY thinks my FR-S is a toy. :)

” The BMW is at a completely different level.”

At twice the price it should be!

OTOH, my Mustang eats M4’s for dessert!

No thanks. Bought a brand new 2006 Stang and it lived up to the name First On Repair Day. Not buying another.

I rented a 50 anniversary red convertible in Birmingham AL and drove to Mississippi. Very nice car. The light under the side mirrors projected a running horse on the pavement next to the doors. very cool.

Meh.

The Hoonicorn on the other hand — that’s an awesome Mustang! Made of unobtainium, requires a full time crew to keep it running, and you have got to have a neck the size of a large oak tree’s trunk to handle the Gs, but what an incredible machine it is.
