Ford Motor Co. announced it will begin selling the Mustang in Europe, CNN reports.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe," said Stephen Odell, Ford of Europe Chairman and CEO.
The automaker did not say when it would make the Mustang available in European dealers, only that it would be available there "in the near term." That leaves open the possibility that the Mustang to be sold in Europe will be a future, redesigned model, not the one currently sold in the United States.
The Mustang has never been sold through Ford dealers in Europe before. Some Mustangs have been purchased there through "gray market" channels outside the official dealer network, Ford spokesman Mark Schirmer said.
