This week, Ford released the order guides for its 2014 Mustang. With an mid-cycle refresh given for the 2013 Mustang, and a completely new Mustang coming for 2015, it's little shock that there would be few changes for the 2014 model year.
For the 2014 Mustang, Ford will offer two new colors that will replace existing colors. No big earth shaking moves here. Oxford White will replace High Performance White. Additionally, Red Candy Metallic will go away and be replaced with Ruby Red Metallic.
The new colors will be available on both the Mustang models and Shelby GT-500. The 662 horsepower GT-500 continues on for the 2014 model year now standard with heated seats, except with the Recaro chairs. This will be the last year for the fire breathing 5.8 liter supercharged V8.

For 2014 the BOSS 302 sunsets. Ford had said it would be a two year run to coincide with the original, which was offered only in 1969 and 1970. Get yours while the getting is good. And if you liked the School Bus Yellow paint, it too goes away for 2014 as it was a BOSS 302 exclusive shade.
New black out appearance packages will be available for 2014. Package FP6 (for the V6) and FP8 (for the GT) will include black painted mirror “skull caps”, black side louvers, black deck lid spoiler and black accented wheels, 18” for the V6 and 19” for the GT.
It is expected the 2014 model year will be short as Ford will likely stop production for major retooling to start the 2015 Mustang in early 2014. No news has come as to whether Ford will adorn the 2014 Mustang with 50th Anniversary emblems or create a special edition.
Historically, the Anniversary models have always been model years ending with “4” or “9”. This was in 1984 when the 20th Anniversary “GT-350” was offered, 1999 when all cars bore the 35th Anniversary emblem, 2004 when they had 40th anniversary badges and the same in 2009.
The 2014 Ford Mustang will be available at local Phoenix dealerships in April of next year.
