Prices for all-new Mustang revealed for Kiwi buyers

5 March, 2015

For the first time in its half-century existence, the 2015 Ford Mustang is finally being sold in New Zealand through Ford dealers — and Ford’s global platform means right-hand drive!

Ford have announced the retail price for these new additions to their line-up, and they’re pretty sharp. Prices start at $56,990 for a fastback, equipped with 2.3-litre EcoBoost and automatic transmission. Top of the line is the V8 GT convertible, equipped with six-speed automatic, retailing for $76,990. The popular manual V8 GT is only available as a fastback, and wears a retail price of $71,990.

Though an official release date is yet to be announced, Ford New Zealand’s website says the 2015 Mustang is “coming soon” — exciting news!

One lady owner

Well, at first glimpse, as soon as the lady opened the garage doors, I knew I was going to buy it. Dark metallic blue with two-tone blue vinyl trim, with a cream American-style steering wheel — I just could not believe my eyes! The Falcon was in as new condition as you could expect from a 30-year-old car. The owner was Mrs Iama Dzenis, aged in her late 60s, at a guess. Mrs Dzenis had bought the car new in September of 1965 from the Ford agents of North Canterbury, Palmer and Doak. Their headquarters were in Rangiora, with branches in Kaiapoi and Amberley.
