For Sale: 1998 Ford Mustang in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1998 Ford Mustang GT Coupe

"Everyone should own a Mustang, at least once, and it doesn't matter at all whether you're young or young at heart. Because in a car as timeless as the Ford Mustang, you're ageless. It's your time. So go ahead and get that Mustang and have the time of your life! From the 1998 Mustang sales brochure.

For consignment, a 1998 Ford Mustang GT coupe with a title verified 129,721 actual miles. When a standard GT won't do, you take it to the next level and prepare it for the track. This example has some race inspired modifications including a new bottle of laughing gas in the trunk.

Due to modifications of the emissions control devices installed by the manufacturer, please check your local, state, and federal laws to determine if this vehicle is applicable for use on public highways in your area.*

Exterior
Repainted its original color seven years ago, the Pacific Green Metallic appears in two stage coverage with lots of exterior customizations that set the car apart. Let's start with a cowled hood, headlight covers, wider side vents, quarter window ducts, and rear window louvers. Plenty of black on board contrasts the green including the fuel door, the stamped Mustang on the rear valance, tail light bezels, fender stripes, and the tall side walls of the cowl. Widely staggered tires create a dramatic rake, mounted on 17-inch American Muscle chrome Bullitt wheels. Hood pins hint at what lurks below and a rear wing helps keep the tail planted. The paint is very nice on the car and we could not find any exterior imperfections.

Interior
Standard Mustang door panels in medium graphic constructed of grained plastic and a carpeted lower insert along with storage and typical switchgear. In place of the normal buckets are Corbeau racing seats in black with racing harnesses tied to the roll cage and the driver's seat has a tear at the ingress point. The black cloth seats are still in the back and in good condition. A standard steering wheel now wears billet cruise control buttons and provides a view to the standard dashboard enhanced with AEM gauges for fuel ratio and boost while a Ford Racing tachometer looms large to the right. The center stack is fairly standard although billet replaces plastic knobs to control the A/C and an AM/FM/Cassette radio with CD player fills the rest of the space. A Hurst shifter fronts the nitrous control panels. Gray carpet covers the floor and the passenger side shows remnants of a previous mount, while the headliner is in very nice condition. In the trunk, a Mustang branded mat provides clean coverage and a big 'ol bottle of Nitrous Express is tucked on the side. We should note that the doors have Lambo hinges and can be opened both Lambo style and traditional.

Drivetrain
The modified engine starts with the 4.6 liter SOHC V8 and includes a 70mm turbocharger and NX nitrous system piped in. Extra bracing and stainless piping dress up this racing engine and headers begin the exhaust process. Behind the motor sits a Tremec T45 5-speed manual transmission with a newer clutch sending power to the Ford 8.8" in back with newer 3.73 gears and TracLoc.

Undercarriage
Driver quality but clean underneath, the star of the show might be the stainless steel exhaust which features an electric cut out with a wide dump under the transmission. From there it splits into two and enters FlowMaster mufflers before finding polished tips in back. There is no catalytic converter onboard. Conditions are mostly dry underneath and we note some sling from the rear U-joint. Power disc brakes occupy front and rear and suspension consists of coil springs at both ends with a 4 linkin back.

Drive-Ability
The 4.6 starts with a mighty roar and we're going through both pipes! Hit the cut out and we'd probably violate Morgantown's sound ordinance. The car rows through the gears with obvious power and potential underfoot and tracks straight and true with the big meats in back. All the gauges work to let us know what's happening under that 4" cowl and braking is on point. We find the A/C is not working but all other functions work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

This takes your pedestrian 4.6 GT and makes it beastly. It looks intimidating, sounds intimidating, and yet provides a streetable driving experience. If you wanted a Mustang but also wanted to stand out from the crowd, strap yourself into this racing version of a '98 GT!
