You’re asking about the 2026 Ford Mustang FX Package, which has been officially unveiled by Ford! This is a brand-new appearance package designed to pay homage to the iconic third-generation “Fox Body” Mustang from the 1980s and 1990s.

New for 2026: Ford Mustang FX Package Brings Back Iconic Fox Body Flair

Ford is set to unleash a wave of nostalgia with the official announcement of the 2026 Ford Mustang FX Package. This isn’t just a new color; it’s a comprehensive appearance package that seamlessly blends retro styling cues from the beloved “Fox Body” era with the modern performance and design of the current S650 generation Mustang.

Key Details of the 2026 Ford Mustang FX Package:

1. Direct Fox Body Inspiration:

   • The entire package is a direct and intentional tribute to the third-generation Mustang (1979-1993), fondly known as the “Fox Body” by enthusiasts. It aims to capture the bold and often high-contrast aesthetic of that era.

2. Exclusive to GT Premium Trim:

   • The FX Package is an exclusive option for the 2026 Mustang GT Premium models. This means it will always come paired with the potent 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine, delivering over 480 horsepower.
   • It’s available on both the fastback (coupe) and convertible body styles.
   • Buyers will have the choice of either the six-speed manual transmission or the 10-speed automatic transmission.

3. Distinctive Exterior Styling:

   • Signature Adriatic Blue Metallic Paint: This is the headline color for the FX Package – a vibrant, teal-tinted metallic blue that directly recalls the iconic teal hues popular on original Fox Body Mustangs. While this color will be available across other 2026 Mustang trims, it truly shines with the FX Package.
   • High-Contrast Oxford White Accents: A defining feature, Oxford White is heavily used for striking contrast:
     • White Wheels: Two unique 19-inch wheel designs are offered, both finished in a mid-gloss Oxford White. The standard FX Package gets a redesigned five-spoke wheel, while opting for the GT Performance Package unlocks a more intricate 10-spoke design with a secondary ring around the bolt pattern, explicitly inspired by classic Fox Body wheels. Both feature color-matched center caps with an exclusive “Mustang GT” wordmark font.
     • White Badging: The “5.0” fender badges, “GT” emblems on the rear, and even the iconic front grille pony emblem will feature white surrounds or be rendered in white.
     • White Grille “Nostrils”: On models equipped with the GT Performance Package, the distinctive “nostril” elements on the sides of the front grille will be painted Oxford White, providing a stark contrast to the dark grille. Standard FX Package models will feature Dark Carbonized Gray nostrils.
     • White Taillights: A set of new white-accented taillights contributes significantly to the retro look. Good news for current S650 owners: these white taillights will also be available separately through the Ford Performance Parts catalog.
     • Retro Rear Window Wordmark: Coupe models with the FX Package will feature a gloss-white “MUSTANG” wordmark on the rear glass, paying direct homage to the rear window decals found on late 80s and early 90s Fox Bodies.

4. Nostalgic Interior Touches:

   • Plaid-Inspired Seat Inserts: The seats feature perforated black and white leather elements that cleverly mimic the classic plaid fabric inserts popular in 1980s Mustang interiors. This design is available on both the standard bucket seats and the optional Recaro sport seats (Recaros are coupe-only).
   • Contrasting Stitching: Dual-contrast stitching in City Silver and Adriatic Blue threads can be found meticulously applied across the dashboard, door panels, seats, steering wheel, and center console, tying the interior to the exterior theme.
   • FX-Specific Dash Badge: A unique “Mustang GT” badge on the passenger side of the dashboard uses a custom typeface directly inspired by classic 80s Mustang branding, subtly reinforcing the package’s theme.
   • Digital Gauge Theme (Existing Feature, Perfect Fit): While not exclusive to the FX Package, the S650 Mustang already offers a “Fox Body” themed digital gauge cluster layout within its infotainment system. This layout replicates the look of the 1987–1993 Mustang’s gauges, with white daytime lettering that glows green at night, creating the ultimate immersive retro experience when paired with the FX Package.

5. New Cross-Model Color Additions for 2026:

   • In addition to Adriatic Blue Metallic, Ford is also bringing back Orange Fury Metallic Tricoat (last seen in 2019) for the 2026 model year. Both these vibrant colors will be available across the wider Mustang lineup (EcoBoost, GT, and Dark Horse), even without the FX Package.
   • New seatbelt color options, including International Orange, Prime Blue, and Black with a red stripe, also expand personalization for all 2026 Mustang buyers.

Availability and Pricing:

Ford has confirmed that the order books for the 2026 Mustang lineup, including the FX Package, will open later this month (June 2025). Official pricing for the 2026 models and the specific cost of the FX Package will be revealed closer to the order opening date.

The 2026 Ford Mustang with the new FX Package is a bold, stylish, and deeply nostalgic offering that beautifully bridges the gap between Mustang’s storied past and its exhilarating present. It’s poised to be a highly sought-after option for enthusiasts and those looking to make a unique statement.
