The 1984 Mustang was a year of significant changes and improvements. The Fox body underwent a continual evolution, and the engine performance options were expanded. The 20th-anniversary models were introduced, and Saleen's modification of Mustangs was also notable. The yellow color was discontinued until 1988. The base L model remained, but the GL was combined with the GLX to form the LX model. The GT remained, but with a new front air dam that had optional road lamps.

The 20th Anniversary Edition Mustangs were all convertible GTs in Oxford White with red interiors, powered by the 302ci V8 or turbocharged 4-cylinder engines. They featured G.T.350 lettering and stripes (which Ford got in trouble with Shelby for not licensing), original 1965-type front fender emblems, and two 20th-anniversary dash badges.

The newly developed Ford Special Vehicle Operations department put together a performance model offering its upgraded 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, body trim, and handling options. Red dash instrument lighting and split-folding rear seats were new to the interior on all cars.

1984 marked the first year of an increase in cars sold since 1978, which continued until 1990.
