It is worth mentioning that this is a type of license plate with a yellow background and black letters, often for business and service vehicles.
This special license plate was auctioned on April 8, 2025, with a winning price of only 160 million VND, a fairly "soft" number compared to the uniqueness of the five-digit series. However, it is not yet clear whether the owner is using this Mustang to run real services or simply wants to create a highlight by installing a yellow background sign for the eye.
In Vietnam, Ford Mustang costs from 1.2 billion to 1.9 billion VND depending on the year of manufacture, vehicle status and the number of kilometers traveled. In particular, versions using a 5.0L V8 engine can cost up to VND2.6 billion to VND3.1 billion.
This Mustang is likely to be a version using a 2.3L, 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine, producing 310 horsepower and 474 Nm of torque, with a new 10-speed automatic transmission to replace the old 6-speed version. The car is also equipped with 6 driving modes, including special modes such as Drag Strip and My Mode, in addition to familiar modes such as normal, Slippery, Snow/Wet and Sport.
The appearance of a Mustang with a service license plate has attracted many controversies in the car enthusiast community. Some opinions say that installing a gold-backed license plate is a unique way of playing to create a highlight for an American sports car, while others question the actual purpose of use of this vehicle. Because, with a sporty appearance, powerful explosive sound and high value, the Ford Mustang is not a popular choice for service cars.
In addition, the use of auction license plates also shows an increasingly popular trend among car enthusiasts in Vietnam - where beautiful license plates not only have phong thuy and aesthetic elements but also demonstrate the class and personality of the car owner.
