Vehicle Description
Supercharged 5.0 with Ford Motorsports supercharger installed and
tuned by Hutter Performance. No winters, adult owned, everything
works. Chrome Cobra R style wheels, 3.73 gears, subframe
connectors, upgraded exhaust, and more. Potent yet very
affordable.'Potent yet affordable' has always been the Mustang's
motto. By the time this 1995 Ford Mustang GT was built, the 5.0 was
a legend and building more power without sacrificing reliability
was second nature. The all-new styling that hit the market in 1994
was little changed for 1995, but it was a much-needed facelift that
gave the Mustang a new look without losing its iconic status. Today
these cars are still instantly recognizable on the street and
command respect with their '5.0' emblems on the front fenders.
Dressed in black, this super clean GT has been a grown-up's
summertime toy since it was new, never a teenager's beater. As a
result, it wears original paint and bodywork and has never been
wrecked or rusty. Aside from the faux hood scoop, it is entirely as
the factory intended: clean but with an aggressive edge. We like
that aspect, as it makes this car a bit of a sleeper-nobody will
see it coming until it's too late. Build quality was considerably
better on these cars than the earlier Fox bodies and the structure
is far more rigid, making for a more substantial-feeling car. It's
still light enough to be tossable, but the way it fits together is
still impressive nearly 30 years later. A few traditional design
cues remain, from the running pony in the front grille to the
three-element taillights, but it's not like this car will go
unrecognized. A 5.0 Mustang GT is still a force to be reconned
with.One of the best parts of the SN-95 upgrade was the interior,
which went from being kind of basic to downright luxurious. This
car still carries its original cloth upholstery, which any serious
racer will tell you is more desirable than slippery leather, and
the buckets are all-day comfortable. The twin-cockpit design is a
bit sportier and puts all the controls within easy reach. And as a
GT, this car is loaded with options, including A/C, power windows,
locks, and mirrors, cruise control, rear defrost, and a decent
AM/FM/cassette stereo. A full array of gauges was standard
equipment, all easily visible through the spokes of the
leather-wrapped wheel, which finally tilts (something Fox body
Mustang owners would have loved to have). The only notable
modifications here are the A-pillar gauges monitoring air-fuel
ratios and fuel pressure-critical for any forced-induction setup.
There's also a decent back seat and a spacious trunk, both of which
look like they've been hardly used-even the original spare still
lives underneath.The 5.0 liter V8 is legendary, so we won't spend a
lot of time extolling its virtues here other than to say it's
virtually indestructible. Thanks to a Ford Motorsports supercharger
installed and tuned by the experts at Hutter Performance, this one
is considerably more muscular than it was in 1995-figure 400 or so
horsepower on tap today. Other upgrades include a Cobra intake
manifold (quite desirable and rare today), MSD ignition system,
custom headers, and a high-flow H-pipe with catalytic converters
(so it's street legal). All together they make for a car that
starts, idles, and drives like a stocker but with a lot more power
on tap. Crack the throttle and this car lunges forward at any speed
in any gear, and with the Motorsports supercharger, it's stealthy
with no gear whine. Like I said, nobody will see this one coming
until it's too late. The 4-speed automatic transmission snaps
through the gears when you need it but makes for a relaxed
travelling partner when you're just cruising and the tall overdrive
makes the 3.73 gears out back feel civilized on the highway. The
suspension and brakes are standard GT fare, so it sits right on
those 16-inch Cobra R-style wheels and staggered 225/55/16 front
and 255/50/16 rear performance radials.Documentation includes the
original owner's manuals and books. Still fast, still fun, still
affordable, the 5.0 Mustang will always be on enthusiasts' short
lists. With professional upgrades and zero quirks, this handsome
black GT drives great and asks for very little in return for some
pretty astounding performance. Look at the hardware, the condition
of the car, and the price, and then give us a call. There just
aren't many bigger bangs for the buck anywhere.Harwood Motors
