Vehicle Description
2001 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
The 1999 model year saw Ford working within their 'New Edge' design
theme. For the Mustang, it meant a visual return to muscle. The
first-generation influence is obvious from all sides, but the mix
of chiseled lines and sharply curved angles allowed the car to
maintain its modern identity.
For consignment, a GT version of the iconic Mustang, and a
convertible for some extra fun. Hop in and run like the wild horses
it is named for. Purchased new by our consignor in September 2001
from Keyser-Miller Ford after some influence by his friendin
thebody shop, our consignor traded in his 1990 Mustang GT and the
rest as they say is history. With only having seen rain 3 times in
itslife (the 1st time was during the initial test drive), and only
having been washed 4 times in its life, this 11,516 original mile
example is a shining star in our Hallowed Halls. Our consignorhas
been fanatical with its care, with the car always garage kept and
even going so far as to place his children in the car instead of
allowing them to enter and exit on their own. I could use all caps
for the description, but I'll allow you to visit personally or
through the fantastic quality photos online and let it scream at
you itself.
Exterior
Nice straight rust-free steel panels with their gaps very
consistent, all bathed in Mineral Gray Metallic This smoothed over
designed New Edge bodied version has body matching integrated
bumpers, a hood scoop, the throwback to the choicely stick cove in
the sides. A black canvas convertible roof with a glass rear window
melts into the small rear deck with a rear spoiler. The only
trimmings present on this car are all black and only around the
glass which is factory tinted. Up front we note the iconic
gallopinghorse in its corral floating in the grille and below are
fog lights set into the neoprene bumper. On back the trio cluster
of tail lights still persists and dual exhaust now protrudes from
the bottom of the rear roll pan. GT badging adrons the fenders and
makes another appearance on the beside the left tail light. 17-inch
anthracite Bullitt wheels are on all 4 corners and the galloping
horse also appears on the center caps. All nearly factory fresh,
just the way Ford intended.
Interior
Articulated sport dark charcoal leather bucket seats, embroidered
with prancing horse, flank a center console that has a spacious
glovebox/armrest, cup holder, and the shifter for the 5-speed
manual transmission. In back is a well cared for 2 plus 2 bench
setup. Conveniences include power windows, power mirrors, power
locks, a leather wrapped steering wheel with remote controls for
feet free cruise control. Speaking of feet, you can take off your
shoes and curl your toes in the thick black pristine carpeting in
this pony car's floors. Factory air, premium sound (Mach 460 Sound
System) and an AM/FM/ 6-CD changer stereo will make it that you'll
never want to get out! And actually I have not, I'm literally
writing from this car...now that's a first!
Drivetrain
The 4.6Liter SOHC EFI V8 engine with a 5-speed Tremec 3650 manual
transmission is seen within the near perfect engine bay. On the
back is a Ford 8.8-inch rear pumpkin, and a 3.27 Trac-Loc rear
axle.
Undercarriage
It never ceases to amaze me observing the care these cars get by
their obsessive owners, I'm moving into his garage! No rust unibody
with the factory overspray still on, some surface rust on the usual
suspects, but very clean overall with no runs drips or errors seen
underneath. What I do see is independent coil sprung suspension for
the front, and a 4 link with more coil-springs for the back. An
original exhaust is on, and shiny brightly as are power disc brakes
on all 4 corners.
Drive-Ability
This was a dual test driver car and my cohort crack decoder and
mechanical confidant took it out for a spin. Here we experienced
all working functions, smooth acceleration, quick bias free
stopping, and overall low mileage feel and look for this drop
topper. We thoroughlyenjoyed our tenure behind the wheel,
especially with the roar of the engine when we got goosey with our
boots!
Low 11,516 miles on this 'stang which is an aero look, but still
harkening back to its roots with the triple tail lights, inset
round interior gauges, and hockey stick coves on the doors. Well
maintained and painstakingly cared for by the original owner, with
every service record, the original window sticker and the factory
builsheet, this car looks and runs like it's new...because it
almost is!'
