Vehicle Description
2004 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
The fourth generation Ford Mustang was an automobile produced by
Ford for the 1994 through 2004 model years. For 1994 the Ford
Mustang underwent its first major redesign in fifteen years, being
introduced in November 1993 and launching on December 9, 1993. The
design, code named "SN-95" by Ford, was based on an updated version
of the Fox platform, the final Ford vehicle underpinned with this
platform. It featured styling by Bud Magaldi that incorporated some
stylistic elements from the classic Mustangs.
The last year of this generation of the venerable Mustang, this 2
owner Flowmaster exhaust added, yellow with a black canvas
convertible presents in good overall condition. Charcoal black
leather for the interior, and a stout 4.6 liter SOHC EFI V8 to
power you down the highways and byways. Pony up and put the top
down we are going anything but mellow yellow.
Exterior
In keeping with tradition, Mustang designers carry over several
design cues on every generation they produce, and this one is no
exception. With a more rounded design, shades of the ones that came
before them with recognizable headlights now smoothed into the
front end, and the central grille with the galloping horse badge in
the center. Do you know why the horse is facing to the onlookers
left? Because the designer of it was left handed and it was easier
to draw! A long hood, bathed in body Screaming Yellow, sports a
central scoop and melts into the body matching front glass swept
back support and it's clear glass. Noted is the Screaming Yellow
has paint cracking on most horizontal surfaces. From this rear hood
point, the canvas top takes over and presents in nice black, no
tears or blemishes and a clear glass rear window. Being power
activated, it is an easy up and down. Doors with well minded gaps
have another earlier cue in the hockey stick cove which is in the
beginnings of the rear quarter on this model. On the back is a
small but effective spoiler, and a now integrated curved trio of
rear taillights (think 1964-1/2!) with a large rear neoprene bumper
dual exhaust and a large MUSTANG badge finishes off the
exterior.
Interior
Nicely curved molded door panels house the power window, power lock
and power mirror toggles and controls and have a built-in speaker
to boot. Beautifully aged charcoal black bucket seats have just the
right amount of slight creases and folds like easily aged leather
tends to do. These have high backs and rounded headrests for extra
protection, as well as an embroidered black galloping pony. The 2
plus 2 rear seat is in back and has a surprising amount of room,
making the climb back there worthwhile for the ride. Black carpet
floods the floors and is nicely cleaned, and in the center a
console runs up to the dash. At their meeting point is a curvaceous
panel which houses the AM/FM/CD radio with equalizer temp controls
and A/C venting, rises gracefully to form dual eyebrows for the
instruments and glove box/airbag dash. The instruments are a single
panel with analog gauges which reside nicely under half of that
curved dash top. Also, a shout out to the trunk which is very clean
and covered with its original felting.
Drivetrain
Under that scooped hood is an original 4.6 liter Single Overhead
Cam V8. This mill has EFI on top and a 4R70W 4-speed automatic on
back. Rear wheels are driven by a Ford 8.8 inch 3.27 Trac-Loc rear
axle. Engine condition is showing patina and some corrosion on
various surfaces and bolt ons.
Undercarriage
A coating of heavier surface rust is seen on some suspects like the
rear axle drive shaft, and front part of the pumpkin. Also, the
forward part of the exhaust has this rust but remains solid.
Floorpans and unibody remain rust free and even have a bit of shine
to them. The aluminum pan for the bottom end of the V8 is slightly
corroded. Mostly typical for an aged Ford product, all structurally
sound. Power disc brakes are on all 4 corners, and a note to that
Flowmaster exhaust.
Drive-Ability
This car started right up I flipped the top down, and it was off to
the sunny test track. Here it had nice acceleration, a throaty
sound, and good handling and braking. It is a comfortable car to
drive, and with all functions working, it could handle a long
cruise with ease and comfort. I did notice the motor for the
driver's rear window was inoperable.
If you've been looking for an entry level classic take a close look
at this 2004 version. Screaming Yellow, 4.6 liter, automatic and
convertible. Insert key, turn, go! Enjoy this Screaming Yellow
Zonker...I know I watched too much TV when I was younger, but it
does make for an interesting description!
