• The first production Ford Mustang Dark Horse is heading back to auction again.
  • The pony car was originally auctioned off last year where it raised $375,000 for charity.
  • Despite not being fresh off the factory, the 500 hp coupe is still wrapped in the original plastic.

Last year, Ford auctioned the first 2024 Mustang Dark Horse at a Barrett-Jackson event in Scottsdale, Arizona. The high-powered pony car fetched $375,000 and all proceeds were donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Fast forward to today and the performance-packed Mustang is back on the auction block. This time it’s being offered at Barrett-Jackson’s Palm Beach auction and will benefit the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

So what’s changed in the past year? Not much, as the Dark Horse looks brand new and is still wrapped in factory plastic. The listing doesn’t mention mileage, but it’s safe to assume this car has very few and was hardly ever driven.

This Dark Horse is finished in Blue Ember Metallic and features 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli Trofeo RS tires. It also sports a Brembo braking system, a MagneRide suspension, a K-brace, and a limited-slip differential.

Other highlights include a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, a 13.2-inch infotainment system, and Recaro seats. This particular model has also been equipped with the Handling and Appearance packages.

Under the hood, there’s a 5.0-liter V8 pumping out 500 hp (373 kW / 507 PS) and 418 lb-ft (566 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to a six-speed manual transmission, which sends power to the rear wheels.

The Mustang is being offered without reserve and there’s little doubt it will sell for far more than the Dark Horse’s starting price of $60,635. How much more is the million-dollar question, but the Dark Horse might not be king of the stable for much longer (excluding the $325k, 815 hp Mustang GTD that is), as a purported UAW document suggested Ford could be working on a new Shelby GT500 for 2026.
