The 2014 model year
Overview
The send-off for the S197 before the all-new, independent-rear-suspension S550 arrived for 2015. The 2014 lineup carried over: 3.7 V6 (305 hp), 5.0 GT (420 hp), and the 662 hp GT500. It was the last Mustang with a solid rear axle and the last built at Ford's Flat Rock plant under the S197 design.

Year over year
What changed
- Final S197 model year — largely a carryover before the 2015 S550 redesign.
- Last Mustang with a solid (live) rear axle; the 2015 car moved to independent rear suspension.
- Commemorative/appearance packages marked the close of the generation.
Worth knowing
Notable
- Last solid-axle Mustang — a milestone for the model line.
- A one-off U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds Edition coupe (VIN 0001) sold for charity at auction.
Living with it
Reliability & ownership notes
- Mature, well-understood S197 mechanicals by this point — the Coyote 5.0 and 3.7 V6 are both proven.
- GT500's 662 hp 5.8 still needs cooling and traction discipline.
