For consignment, a 2000 Ford Mustang Roush Stage II convertible with a title verified 46,373 actual miles. This one's beendescribed by our consignor as a "garage queen" but isn't shy about hitting the road, having recently completed a road trip with flying colors!

Exterior
Roush's team took a black GT and added some cosmetic goodies to the outside including a body kit with side skirts and cladding that extends the nose and tail. A bigger wing is balanced by a higher hood scoop and the contoured, side exit exhaust is a stand out design, mounted between the 18-inch wheels with staggered size tires with a late 2020 date code. The black canvas top is in great shape with a glass window and Roush is displayed as a banner on the windshield and a subtle call out on the deck lid. The car presents in excellent condition and the only imperfections we find are some typical chin scrapes, not visible when you're standing next to the car.

Interior
It's essentially standard GT on the inside, awash in charcoal black with the exception of the leather buckets up front which wear a horizontal red stripe and other than some compression on the driver's seat, are in good shape. The rear seats lack the stripe but are in great condition, as are the plastic door panels although we note some separation of the plastic switch panel insert on the driver's side. Steering wheel and instrument cluster are basically factory fresh and a coveted Roush plate is mounted to the right of the column, while in the center cluster, an updated AM/FM/CD player and remote CD switcher are in place just below the A/C knobs. A white knobbed shifter is between the seats and Roush branded GT mats loom over the dark gray carpet below. The trunk includes a Roush tool kit and also houses the CD changer.

Drivetrain
Under the hood is a clean 4.6 liter SOHC V8 with an added BBK throttle body and K&N cold air intake, rated at 260 horsepower. It's fuel injected and mated to a T45 5-speed manual that routes power to the Ford 8.8" in back with 3.27 gears and TracLoc.

Undercarriage
Plenty of surface rust but dry conditions prevail underneath with the Roush stage II suspension kit bolsters the coil springs at all four corners with a 4 link in back. The dual exhaust runs through boxy Spintech mufflers before heading to the sides to exit via chrome squarish tips. Improved brakes are part of the package and are applied to power discs at each corner.

Drive-Ability
We don't have a dyno, but our butt dyno says the 260hp rating might be a little light. This car has fantastic acceleration, a great exhaust note, and nimble handling that clearly exceeds that standard GT. No complaints here as all functions work as they should and this one gets a thumbs up for the showroom. 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.

Just 1,189 Roush Mustangs were produced in 2000 and while a breakdown of stage numbers is not available, the overall production number still makes this a fairly rare car. It's also understated given its exclusivity and one could easily miss the windshield banner while they're gazing at the slightly altered, streamlined exterior and wondering why this one looks a little different. If you own it, there will be no mystery about it, just miles of smiles ahead!
