Sydney Sweeney’s car collection: From 1965 Mustang to 1969 Ford Bronco, the Euphoria star's old-school obsession

Sydney Sweeney, best known for her role in Euphoria, has been dominating headlines recently, not just for her acting, but for a cheeky new ad with denim brand American Eagle. The ad sparked backlash after she made a playful pun, saying she has great "jeans", cleverly twisting the word to imply "genes". While the internet debates whether the joke crossed a line or was all in good humour, fans have also turned their attention to another standout aspect of Sweeney’s life, her impressive car collection.

The 26-year-old actress, also known as an auto enthusiast, owns several classic vehicles, including a restored vintage Ford Bronco and a cherry-red Ford Mustang, both of which she proudly shows off on social media. Whether it’s fashion, wordplay, or horsepower, Sweeney certainly knows how to make a statement.


While Sydney Sweeney is widely recognised for her glamorous presence in high-profile fashion campaigns for brands like Miu Miu, Armani Beauty, and Guess, there’s a lesser-known side to the Euphoria star that might surprise fans. Beyond the red carpets and designer runways, Sweeney is a genuine car enthusiast with a deep love for classic automobiles.

According to the South China Post, the White Lotus actress doesn’t just admire vintage cars, but she actively restores them. Among her most prized possessions are:

A 1969 Ford Bronco

A 1965 Mustang, both of which she has proudly shared with her followers on social media.

This unexpected passion adds a refreshing twist to her public image, blending Hollywood elegance with garage-floor grit.



As per Vanity Fair, after the actress secured her driving licence, Sweeney first drove a 1994 Land Cruiser, followed by a 1990 Volvo Sedan handed down from her grandparents. After the success of Euphoria, she got herself a 2019 Range Rover Sport.

In 2024, Sweeney chose to purchase a bright blue 1965 Mustang, which she named 'Britney'. Sweeney's vintage car collection:

• 1969 Ford Bronco

• 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible ("Britney")

• 1956 Ford F100

• Fiat 500 Jolly

• 1994 Land Cruiser & 1990 Volvo Sedan

• Custom 2024 Ford Mustang GT

According to an old interview with the SCP, Sweeney revealed that she comes from a family of mechanics; hence, it is in her blood. She also has a personal connection to one of the most respected names in the vintage automotive world.

Her best friend’s father is none other than Rod Emory, the renowned builder behind Emory Motorsports, a company he founded in 1996, specialising in the restoration and customisation of classic Porsche 356s.

Sweeney refers to Emory as a “second dad”, and his influence has clearly fueled her love for restoring vintage vehicles. Surrounded by craftsmanship and car culture from a young age, it’s no wonder she’s developed such a hands-on appreciation for classic automobiles.
