Cost No Object
The GTD is easily the most expensive factory Ford Mustang in history. It might take a while before that record is beaten, and at over $300,000, we’re not holding our breath. That said, it’s an entirely different animal compared to the garden-variety GT, and it’s a few rungs higher than the already potent Dark Horse.
Despite the price tag, Ford has shifted a good amount of Mustang GTDs. From a previous report, the Blue Oval managed to shift 231 examples of what’s essentially a street-legal GT3 racer. Not only that, the first batch of models has already been spoken for. Turns out, there is a market for a mega-buck Mustang.

For the Lucky Few
Ford received well over 7,500 applications for the Mustang GTD, and it was initially said that production would only last until 2026. A lucky few have received their GTDs, as mentioned above, and heaps more are ready to be delivered. It’s estimated that fewer than 2,000 will be built.
Okay, it’s not totally rare, but you’re also looking at about 2,000 customers fighting for slots worldwide. Considering that Ford got that many applications, that’s over 5,000 hopefuls who missed their chance. Perhaps due to overwhelming demand, the folks from Dearborn have made an important announcement.

Second Chances
Ford believes in second chances. That’s why the company announced that it’s reopening applications for the GTD yet again. It will be for the 2027 to 2029 model years, and like before, we’re expecting a limited number of slots.
It wasn’t said how many Ford will build for the second batch, but those who missed out the first time shouldn’t let this opportunity pass. Those interested can head on down to the Ford website to, er, register their interest. Mind you, that’s not the application just yet, as that one opens at a later date.
The applications will officially open on April 17, 2026. Those who registered will get a reminder email from the Mustang GTD Concierge team shortly before the application window opens. Those who apply will then receive a status update this summer. So, for those with over $300,000 to spare for one of these, it’s best to let Ford know you’re very keen on purchasing one.
