- Production of the Ford Mustang GTD ramped up in a large way during June.
- 66 percent of all examples made so far were made during June.
- Ford says it’ll ban owners from selling the car for two years after delivery.
Demand is high for the most powerful Mustang ever built, but Ford is setting firm boundaries on who gets one, and perhaps more importantly, what they can do with it. The company is steadily ramping up production of the 2025 Mustang GTD and makes it very clear that owners shouldn’t expect to flip it for a quick profit.
After a slow start earlier this year, production picked up sharply in June, with 31 units completed that month alone. That accounts for 66 percent of the total GTD builds so far, bringing the current tally to 47 vehicles. As customer deliveries begin, Ford has made one condition very clear: owners must hold on to their GTD for at least two years before selling.

Importantly, Ford doesn’t build these pony cars in any of its main production facilities. It outsources the work to the same Canadian manufacturer that did the GT supercar, Multimatic. The company made just two GTD examples in January, none in February, three more in March, just one in April, and ten more in May. That’s what makes the 31 that rolled off the line in June so surprising.
Lessons Learned from the GT Era
To ensure the GTD goes into the hands of true Blue Oval fans, Ford requires buyers to sign a contract stating that they won’t sell the car for two years after delivery. That’s almost the exact same policy it used when it sold the Ford GT as well.
Famously, some folks like celebrity John Cena challenged that contract. We expect more of the same this time around. No doubt, though, Ford will have learned its lesson from the first time around and be better prepared.
This is by far the most powerful and exclusive brand-new Mustang to ever come from Ford itself. It starts at $325,000, but that’s just the base price. As Ford Authority points out, the Carbon Series starts at $428,000, and the Spirit of America version retails for $429,000. These figures are, of course, without options and don’t account for greedy dealer markups either.
