2025 Ford Mustang GTD Order Applications Open—Are You Worthy?

• Applications to order the upcoming 2025 Ford Mustang GTD have opened, with Ford increasing the estimated starting price to $325,000.

• North American production is expected to start in late 2024 or early 2025.

• You can apply to purchase the GTD between now and May 20, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. EST when the application window will close.

Haven't you heard the old adage "It's not what you know, it's who you know"? That statement certainly rings true if you're interested in buying Ford's new Mustang GTD.

Even if you can afford the estimated $325,000 starting price, Ford won't just let you walk into your local dealership and pick one up off the lot. You'll need to properly supplicate through an application process, with each order individually vetted before approval.

This isn't a new practice for Ford—the manufacturer used a similar process for the rebirth of the GT supercar in 2016. The Mustang GTD's application starts out as you might expect, with Ford collecting your name, address, and contact information. After that, things get a little more interesting, with the automaker inquiring about your relationship with the brand. Do you own a Ford? How about a Lincoln? Are you involved in the motorsports world? Would you consider yourself a car collector?
