Sydney Sweeney's love for cars is deeply rooted in her family background and personal experiences. Growing up in a small town near Spokane, Washington, surrounded by mechanics, she developed a genuine passion for classic vehicles early on. This passion was not just a phase, it is a family legacy. While the world knows her for powerful performances on screen, off-screen, she is just as comfortable under the hood, restoring classic cars and proudly sharing her projects. One vehicle in particular has been generating buzz, a certain Mustang. But is it the iconic GT350?

Could the Euphoria star really be behind the wheel of a Mustang GT350? Here is the truth.

Sydney Sweeney does not own a Mustang GT350. While she is prominently featured driving a GT350 in the recent American Eagle ad campaign, her actual Mustang ownership is different. Sweeney’s love for cars and vintage models does come from her bloodline. In a small town near Spokane, Washington, she first learned to drive on her grandfather’s F-100 farm truck, a vehicle she still owns today. During the pandemic, she purchased an original 1969 Bronco that required extensive restoration.

While the GT350 is not a part of Sydney Sweeney's car collection, she does own a Mustang. But which one?

Sydney Sweeney owns a classic 1965 Ford Mustang, which she has lovingly nicknamed Britney. This vintage Mustang is bright blue and has been the subject of her restoration projects shared on social media. Sweeney’s hands-on work and deep personal connection to her 1965 Mustang have inspired some of her automotive collaborations, including the custom 2024 Mustang GT she co-designed with Ford, but the only Mustang she personally owns and cherishes is her 1965 model.

To celebrate the Mustang’s 60th anniversary, Ford is building two custom Mustangs inspired by Sydney Sweeney’s Brittany Blue 1965 model—one for Sweeney, one for a contest winner. These cars feature a Robin’s Egg Blue exterior with a crushed glass clear coat, 20-inch chrome rims, Sweeney’s signature on the engine, and the Ford x Sydney Sweeney heart bolt emblem throughout the design.

Sydney Sweeney’s hands-on work and deep personal connection to her 1965 Mustang have inspired some of her automotive collaborations. While she owns the 1965 Ford Mustang, the entire confusion about the GT350 stemmed from her recent American Eagle ad campaign.

Yes, Sydney Sweeney did drive a Mustang GT350 in the American Eagle ad campaign. Multiple press reports and social media commentary confirm she is seen in the ad working on and driving the GT350, which aligns with her car enthusiast image and brings added authenticity to the campaign. 

The car-obsessed girl, that Sweeney is, drove the car in the advertisement, but the primary focus of the American Eagle campaign featuring her was on denim and promoting the Sydney Jean line, as this was for promotional purposes and was not a reflection of her personal garage. Sweeney’s genuine passion for classic cars shines through both her personal Mustang ownership and her automotive collaborations.
