Curious if anyone has any info regarding the 2021MY?? Will there be a second model year for the 500?? If so when might order banks be opening up??

That’s what I’m wondering.... New chassis?? Another facelift?? Or maybe just a new version like the Mach 1.Does new Mustang mean a new version? Mach 1. Boss.
Hopefully that’s the case, I want to order a 2021 GT500 and that’d really suck if they only produced them for 2020.The word is a Mach 1 version is coming for the 2021 model year to replace the Bullitt.
GT500 will not be a one or even two-year run. I expect it will be in production until the next generation Mustang is introduced, I do, however, believe we will not see the GT350/GT350R built concurrently with the GT500 after the 2020 model year.Hopefully that’s the case, I want to order a 2021 GT500 and that’d really suck if they only produced them for 2020.
Sadly that seems like the truth. Sucks that ford is doing away with v8’s in my lifetime:(Grab one of the last great ICE vehicles of all time while you can boys. The electric and hybrid age is upon us.
I bet Ford does a MY21 facelift, and builds a non-Shelby GT350 replacement that's the GT body + GT350 components but with a CPC based motor (possibly 5.2L). I could even see maybe putting the Tremec manual into this flavor - hell, I could see them totally removing manuals from the "generic" GT line, and making the Mach I/Boss/PP3 <whatever> be the only option for a manual V8 mustang.GT500 will not be a one or even two-year run.

That would definitely be cool, lil more spendy but nonetheless I’d still buy.There are rumors of an S550 facelift for the '21MY........and a Mach 1 joining the line up.
However, I believe the GT500 would skip any such facelift, externally at least. The GT500 kept the "old" headlamps as it shared the carbon radiator support from the GT350 and if they chose not to change that for a new GT500 I very much doubt they'll change it for a mild facelift.
However, if S550 face lift brings interior changes, I can see the GT500 adopting those (I'm thinking a 10" screen with Sync 4)
