The Mustang has become better with each passing year, with the 2026 iteration offering a thrilling, engaging, and extreme drive that enthusiasts in Wilmington, NC, and all over the country have come to know and love over the nameplate's longstanding history.

Car and Driver's verdict is that "the Mustang's tasteful blend of retro and modern touches is the perfect example of advancements not spoiling a timeless recipe."2 J.D. Power gave the 2026 Ford Mustang a "Great" Quality and Reliability score of 85 out of 100,3 and MotorTrend praises the lineup, mentioning that "the Mustang has remained both an automotive icon and relatively affordable."4

With reviews like that, it's clear that the 2026 Ford Mustang for sale is a winner. However, the real test of its virtues can only be conducted by you, so come by Capital Ford of Wilmington, located near Jacksonville, NC, and take the new Mustang out for a heart-pumping test drive.

Which Version of the Mustang Is the Best for You?

The new Ford Mustang for sale can be had in one of several configurations that provide a unique spirit. The lineup of trims is extensive, with each edition being so well packaged to cater to a wide variety of preferences.

The first step is to choose between the Ford Mustang convertible and fastback options. Many drivers find that this is an easy choice, but if it isn't, you could always schedule a Mustang test drive or two and compare the experience.

Perhaps an even simpler decision for some is the engine, of which there are three. Do you want an efficient and affordable EcoBoost that achieves an EPA-estimated 22/33/26 MPG (City/Highway/Combined),5 or are you faithful to V-8s? Here are the output specs of each powertrain to help you select:

  • 2.3-Liter EcoBoost Four-Cylinder: 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque
  • Gen-4 5.0-Liter Coyote V-8: 486 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque
  • Modified Gen-4 5.0-Liter Coyote V-8: 500 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque

If you do go the V-8 route, you'll need to decide if you want a manual transmission or an automatic gearbox. There's no wrong choice, but we do suggest at least experiencing what it's like to put your foot down and hear eight cylinders generate power for the rear wheels.

If you opt for the faster 0-60 times of a V-8, you can then decide between the entry V-8 trim (the GT), a more luxurious model (the GT Premium), or a track package with 500 horsepower (the Dark Horse). There's also a Premium version of the Dark Horse, along with EcoBoost Premium models. The GT Premium can be a convertible, while the GT and Dark Horse trims are only made as fastbacks. However, both the EcoBoost and EcoBoost Premium trims can be configured as convertibles.

New for this year is the FX Package, which celebrates the style of retro Mustang models and can be added to the GT Premium fastback or convertible. Your next Ford Mustang in Wilmington can also include returning 2026 color options like Orange Fury Metallic, but the new Adriatic Blue Metallic hue goes perfectly with the FX Package's Oxford White wheels, badges, and accents.
