2026 Ford
Mustang
America's Last V8 Pony Car. And It's Right Here in Hopkinsville.
Built for Hopkinsville Roads -- and Beyond
The Camaro is gone. The Challenger has moved on. That leaves exactly one V8-powered American pony car standing -- the 2026 Ford Mustang -- and Pennyrile Ford has them in stock right here in Hopkinsville. That is not a sales pitch. It is just the state of things, and it matters if you have ever wanted to own a piece of this particular piece of American history.
Whether you are running Fort Campbell Boulevard on a Tuesday morning or pointing it toward Land Between the Lakes for a weekend run up US-68, the Mustang lineup has an engine for how you actually drive. The turbocharged EcoBoost does 33 MPG on the highway and gets out of its own way in traffic. The 5.0-liter V8 GT sounds exactly like you remember it sounding -- because it still is what it has always been. And the Dark Horse is something else entirely.
The 2026 model adds two new exterior colors, a Fox Body-inspired FX Package for GT Premium buyers, and bespoke seatbelt color choices that let you put a little personality in the cabin. The bones are proven; the updates are thoughtful. It is a good year to buy a Mustang.

Built to Turn Heads on 6th Street and the Pennyrile Parkway
