Ford Mustang FX Package Revives Fox Body Cool
The Fox Body Mustang is one of the most successful generations of the American pony car. Why the Fox Body Mustang Still Defines an Era of Cool The Fox Body Mustang is the most successful generation of the pony car nameplate, spanning 14 years in production from 1979 to 1993. It's also the second-best-selling generation, and with its numerous TV and movie appearances, it's undoubtedly a pop culture hero, making it one of the most popular Mustangs ever produced. Fueled by the current resurgence of '80s nostalgia, Ford wants to celebrate the legacy of the Fox Body Mustang and introduced the FX Package for the 2026 model year. Beyond just new seats and car covers, the package revives the cool factor that came with the Fox Body generation, fused with modern muscle and vehicle technology. New Adriatic Blue Paint and Retro Wheels Set the FX Apart The Ford Mustang FX Package stands out with the new Adriatic Blue Metallic paint color, inspired by the Teal paint from the '80s. This paint color will be available outside the FX Package, alongside another revived color, the Orange Fury Metallic Tricoat. To match the fun hue, the FX Package comes standard with a mid-gloss Oxford White set of 19-inch wheels, with color-matched center caps and a new Mustang GT wordmark font. Upgrade to Performance Pack, and you get a classic rim design inspired by the Fox Body wheels. The Performance Pack also goes with Oxford White accents on the grille, matching the white 5.0-liter, GT, and Mustang Pony badges. There's also a retro-style wordmark (inspired by 1987-1993 models) for coupes, while white taillights are available through the Ford Performance Parts catalog.

Interior Design Inspired by Iconic '80s Mustang Styling Inside, the Mustang FX Package also calls back to the Fox Body with seat inserts mimicking the popular plaid pattern of the era. This style is available for both standard bucket seats and optional Recaro sport seats. A Mustang GT IP badge in FX-specific font proudly sits on the dashboard, too. Other cabin accents include dual-contrast stitching in City Silver and Adriatic Blue on seats, dash, door panels, steering wheel, and center console. Ford hasn't disclosed the pricing for the Mustang FX Package, but says that the order bank will open later this month. Apart from the new and returning paint colors, seatbelt options – in International Orange, Prime Blue, and Black with red stripe – will be available across the S650 Mustang range, including the EcoBoost, the 5.0-liter GT, and the mighty Dark Horse.
