Vehicle Description
A redesigned SN-95 Mustang came on December 26, 1998, for the 1999
model year with production starting in November 1998.
Characterizing the redesign was Ford's New Edge design language,
which featured sharper contours, larger wheel arches, and creases
in the bodywork, replacing many of the soft lines of the previous
model. The Mustang also received new wheels and hubcaps. However,
the car carried over the same roofline and interior, in addition to
the same basic platform. All 1999 Mustangs (except the Cobra)
received "35th-Anniversary" badges on the front fenders.14 #fn1415

A "35th Anniversary Limited Edition" appearance option package came
on 2,318 GT coupes and 2,310 GT convertibles.16 #fn16 Available
only in black, silver metallic, white, and red, they featured a
body-colored hood scoop, rear spoiler, side scoops and rocker
panels, a blacked-out panel between the taillamps, and 17 by 8-inch
(200 mm) five-spoke aluminum wheels; while the Interiors included
black leather and vinyl seats with silver inserts and pony logo,
aluminum shift knob, a unique instrument cluster with 35th
anniversary script, silver and black floor mats with 35th
anniversary logo, and silver door trim inserts.17 #fn17
The 3.8 L OHV Essex V6 returned as the base engine for 1999. A new
split-port induction system replaced single-port induction, which
increased the base model's output to 190 hp (142 kW; 193 PS) at
5250 rpm and 220 lb�ft (298 N�m) of torque at 2750 rpm.18 #fn18

For 1999, the Mustang also received a change to its taillights,
making them edgier, with sharp corners and straight lines as
opposed to the rounded off style of previous years. The lamps were
still composed of three vertical segments, reminiscent of the
original. Minimal changes occurred from year-to-year, most
noticeable was a redesigned center panel in the dashboard for 2001,
which now allowed double-din stereo head units, including an
in-dash six-CD player. The rear window defroster switch, previously
mounted below the headlamp pull switch, was moved to the lower
center stack below the stereo. When equipped, the fog lamp switch
was relocated to the lower center stack as well, previously, it was
on the center console adjacent to the cup holders. The third button
on the lower switch panel was for the traction control system (on
V8 models). On convertible models, the power roof switch remained
on the center console - on coupe models, that switch was replaced
with a small coin holder.
The GT model continued to use the 4.6 L V8 as before, but now with
260 hp (194 kW; 264 PS) at 5250 rpm and 302 lb�ft (409 N�m) of
torque at 4000 rpm.19 #fn19
In 2001, Ford added Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) to the
V6, increasing the engine's output to 193 hp (144 kW; 196 PS) at
5500 rpm and 225 lb�ft (305 N�m) of torque at 2800 rpm.20 #fn20
During the second half of the 2004 model year, the 3.8 L Essex was
replaced with the 3.9 L OHV Essex V6. The 3.9 L had a slightly
longer stroke but output for the engine remained identical to the
outgoing 3.8 L. The 3.9 L Essex was used in the Mustang for only
half a year before being replaced by the 4.0 L Cologne V6 for the
2005 model year.
The paint is original and has some imperfections on the top part of
the car and drivers quarter panel.
