Vehicle Description
2007 Ford Mustang GT Foose Stallion Edition
Chip Foose is one of the best known names in the automotive design
and specialty field. After working for his father's design company,
he went on to work for Clenet, the maker of neo classical replicas,
then a stint with Boyd Coddington, eventually becoming President of
Hot Rods by Boyd. Years of work and accomplishments, along with the
Overhaulin' television show and his part in inspiring the Chrysler
Prowler, has made Chip a household name, even to non-car
people.
For consignment, a 2007 Mustang Foose Stallion Edition, a
performance and cosmetic treatment that was reserved for under 300
Mustangs, (numbers fluctuate between 222 and 272 depending on
source). This is car #30 coming to our Hallowed Halls with a title
verified 44,712 actual miles, this drop top has plenty of life left
and is rare among the Mustang special editions. It's been modified
forgobs more power and is also signed by the man himself which adds
to the mystique.
Exterior
The base is two stage Satin Silver but the Foose edition includes
Black and Torch Red wide hood stripes that waterfall down the
fenders to house the Foose emblem. The hood itself is a special
version designed by Chip as are the front fascia and grille. The
side molding, rear wing, and side marker are also unique to this
car. The 20-inch wheels are exclusive custom aluminum Foose wheels
and are polished to the nines. The billet gas cap and white and red
rear tail lights were not part of the package and likely added
later. The black canvas top and glass rear window are in good
condition. We note some scraping under the chin, a few chips in the
front bumper cover, and some curb rash on one of the wheels,
otherwise the car's paint is in great condition.
Interior
With the exception of the Foose labeled speaker, the door panels
are standard GT here. As was common with this generation, the
perforated inserts likely came loose at some point, and we note
some extra glue to hold them down. Yes, it even got loose in a
Foose! The seats are custom embroidered with Foose Design on the
headrest and the tuck and roll leather looks great on the front
bucket seats and the rear 2+2's. With the top down, the style bar
gives an extra sporty look and sits between the front and back
seats. The steering wheel is standard but the silver faced 140 MPH
speedometer is Foose branded. The center stack contains the
entertainment screen and heat and AC controls and above the glove
box we find the pre printed autograph topped by an actual autograph
in Sharpie ink with car number. A Hurst shifter is in the center
console in a perforated leather boot. The low pile black carpet is
protected by, yep, you guessed it, Foose branded carpeted floor
mats. The smaller Mustang trunk is lined in gray padded material
and appears to have had some use but is overall clean.
Drivetrain
The 4.6 liter 3-valve V8 is in place and puts out 335 horsepower,
35 more than a normal GT thanks to special cold-air induction and
an ECM with performance tune. We'd venture a guess that the engine
is putting out more ponies than the factory rating as our consignor
states the car has been modified and the rumble of the engine backs
that statement up with ease. Unfortunately our consignor did not
provide a detailed list of the mods. A Tremec TR3650 5-speed manual
transmission sends power to the Ford 8.8-inch rear with 3.55 gears
and TracLoc. Power disc brakes are charged with slowing and
stopping the car and feature Baer Declerators with drilled and
slotted rotors on all four wheels.
Undercarriage
Everything is clean and dry underneath with the typical surface
rust on the driveshaft, rear diff and axle. This is where we find
race inspired suspension that includes MacPherson struts up front
and 3-link, coil springs, and panhard bar, and sway bar in the
back. Ford Racing Performance provides the axle back high flow
exhaust to stock style mufflers and this car has headers added.
Drive-Ability
We've driven our share of 2007 GT's and this one feels just a
little bit different. With the Foose additions and consignor stated
modifications the car's got some extra giddy up and handles notably
better than your standard GT and sounds a little better too.
Braking is on point and happily, all the bells and whistles work.
We give this car an "A" for performance and an "F" for Foose!
You'll never confuse this with another special edition as the brand
Foose is written in 22 places on this car, (move over, Jack Roush).
And why not? He's a well regarded leader and celebrity in the car
hobby and has done quite a bit for the industry. Here's an
opportunity to get into a rare version of a 2007 Mustang GT and
certainly if you collect Mustangs, this is one to have.
