We’re taking it back to the old days with this update for all current Mustangs.

When Ford launched the fifth-generation, S197 Mustang back in 2005, the automaker offered a modern take on the old-school Mustangs that roamed America’s streets back in 1965. The subsequent S550 and now S650 generations evolved into a different kind of pony car, but the latest seventh-generation model has a distinct feature that takes you back to the older days. Not only can you change your digital gauge cluster to represent the Fox body Mustangs from the early ’90s, but Ford also now offers a 1965-style cluster appearance to all S650 owners thanks to an over-the-air update.

This announcement follows up the 60th Anniversary Package for the 2025 model year Mustang. That package is a limited-run option for just 1,965 GT Premium models (another throwback to the original pony car), and includes special decals and badging to celebrate the car’s continuous six-decade production run.

The gauge cluster update will roll out to every seventh-generation Mustang owner, regardless of which version they own.
