Ford Australia has called it quits on taking any further orders for the Mustang for 2016, with the supply-dictated order bank of 4000 cars all sold and 80 per cent of buyers placing paid deposits.

Even before the first production right-hand drive Mustang for our market rolled off the ship at Melbourne’s Appleton Dock this week, orders had already amounted to two-thirds of total Ford Falcon sales last year.

The coupe bodystyle has secured 86 per cent of the order bank compared with the convertible (auto-only for a $9K premium).

The Ford Mustang was pegged for a December launch to the local media, however that has been pushed back until January.
