'5.0' Fender Badge Returns for the 2011 Ford Mustang GT

The "5.0" fender badge was first introduced on the 1979 Ford Mustang and it was used to designate the vehicles 5-liter 302 cubic-inch Ford small block V-8.  From 1979 - 1993 many refinements were made to the 5-liter V-8 but one thing which stayed constant was the "5.0" fender badge.

According to a forum member over at TheMustangSource forums the"5.0" fender badge will make it's return for the 2011 Ford Mustang GT.  The forum member came by way of this news doing a little detective work in the Ford parts database finding a part number for the 2011 "5.0" badge.

The "5.0" badge with it's black trim and two chrome numbers with a red dot in the middle was probably one of the most recognizable fender badges of the 70's, 80's and 90's.  Will the "5.0" fender badge return in past form or will it be modernized to fit the times, until then your guess is as good as mine.  I am just glad the badge will return for the 2011 Ford Mustang GT.

More digging from the forum member in the parts database also turned up part numbers for the 3.7-liter V-6 4V auto and standard transmission, 5.0-liter 4V standard and auto transmission and a 5.4-liter 4V supercharged motor.
