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. In 2004, Ford
produced a special 40th Anniversary Edition of the Mustang.
Available in both standard and GT trim, it consisted of 40th
Anniversary badging, special Crimson Red Metallic paint, gold
stripes, enhanced interior, and some special collectables for the
owner. It also marked the end of this design and the new for 2005
S197 was brought in as an all-new model.
Most 40th Anniversary package cars came with Parchment, (tan),
leather interiors and Crimson Red Metallic paint; this is one of
them. The last year of this generation of the venerable Mustang,
this low mileage, 14,106 to be exact, convertible presents in great
overall condition. A stout 4.6 liter SOHC EFI V8 to power you down
the highways and byways. Pony up and put the top down and let's
enjoy 40 years of the Mustang.
Exterior
Bathed in Crimson Red Metallic with a tan cloth top similar to that
of the SVT Cobra, and badged in clean chromed 40th anniversary
badges, this car sports a hood scoop, Arizona Beige decals, and the
correct spoiler delete package along with color keyed mirrors, and
lower side stripes in matching Arizona Beige. Side body panels are
reminiscent of the '65 version, as are the updated rear brake
lights. Dual exhaust protrudes below the Mustang labeled bumper and
Arizona Beige accented wheels adorn all 4 corners.
Interior
Lowering the convertible, we are met with nicely kept Parchment
leather and vinyl combination seats, buckets in front and a bench
in the rear. The buckets are embroidered in tan with the galloping
pony logo and the driver's seat shows the brunt of the wear with
minor age wrinkling in the leather along with upper left bolster
wear. Power windows, power mirrors, a power top up and down, and a
driver's side power seat adjustment are seen on this car. The dash
also in tan vinyl has a very clean instrument panel, with analog
gauges and digital odometer readout. A leather wrapped 5-speed
shifter sits within the console and sits within its correct
aluminum shift boot trim ring. A 40th Anniversary badge is on the
console just below the heater controls and the Mach 1000 AM/FM/CD
Changer stereo. Stainless steel pedal covers float above a seat of
tan carpeting which is protected by tan 40th Anniversary floor
mats.
Drivetrain
A 4.6 liter SOHC fuel injected V8 backed by a Tremec TR3650 5-speed
manual transmission can be seen in clean and green shape with the
lift of the hood. On the back is a Ford 8.8" 3.27 TracLoc rear
axle.
Undercarriage
All original, all structurally sound with surface rust on uncoated
steel surfaces, definitely unremarkable. Rockers are pristine, as
are the unibody rails and floor panels. Independent front
suspension and 4 link rear suspension along with dual exhaust with
factory mufflers and 4-wheel power disc brakes.
Drive-Ability
This car started right up and 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.
Not many manufacturers can claim to have lasted 40 years let alone
a single model doing so uninterrupted. Beautiful paint, body lines
and interior gives this last year of the venerable SN-95/New Edge
platform a long lasting look that even to this day gets ooohs and
ahhhs. A pampered garage kept car, never modified in any way, few
miles clocked on it, and now it can be grabbed by you and rode into
the sunset...Pony up and celebrate 40 years of the pony!
