"Look instead at the 2005-2009 model years of the fifth gen S197
Mustang, a "retro styled" car that is now becoming vintage in its
own right. It's a Mustang that looks like an actual Mustang-and it
goes like hell in almost every iteration. Even in today's white hot
market, fifth generation cars strike me as the place where savvy
Mustang buyers should be looking." Hagerty, September 2022
For consignment, a 2008 Ford Mustang GT coupe with a title verified
128,442 actual miles. This now supercharged example has a few
tasteful mods for looks and performance and has its own, individual
flair that make it stand out from the herd.
Exterior
Approaching the car from the front, the first thing you notice is
the cross hatch headlight covers and inboard fog lights. Next, it's
the Cervini cowl hood that catches your eye, black as night like
the rest of the car. In profile, blue calipers peek through the
spokes of the 18-inch argent Bullitt wheels, each wearing ZR rated
tires no older than mid 2019. A faux racing fuel cap would be
invisible if not for the cool rivets that surround it, and smoked
tail lights in black bezels are downright sinister over the black
apron and dual exhaust. Of course, there's a wing which emerges at
the base of the fastback design and deals with the air that flows
over the car. Overall, the body and paint are nice with
imperfections noted include paint chips, scuff on the nose, scuffs
and peeling clear coat on rear bumper cover, scratches on the door
handle, a ding on the roof, and chin scrapes on the big chin
spoiler.
Interior
We take a break from the solid black realm and enter a gray
interior, beginning on the door panels which have the perforated
black inserts and the requisite peeling of it on the driver's side.
Up front, we have gray leather bucket seats and congruent with the
mileage is the wear on the entry points of the driver's chair.
Passenger and rear 2+2 are in good shape. The cockpit combines
gray, silver, and chrome trim and a couple of Cobalt gauges added
to the A-pillar, a Roush emblem between the center vents, and a
Hurst equipped call out on the dash. Indeed, in the center console
is a Hurst short shifter just behind the touchscreen of the
AM/FM/CD radio and A/C dials. Gray carpet covers the floor nicely
protected by GT mats and the foam backed headliner is in good
condition. The trunk shows some use and is covered in gray cloth
mats and side panels.
Drivetrain
Here we have a cleanly presented 4.6 liter 3 valve V8 topped with a
polished Roush M90 supercharger. The Tremec TR3650 5-speed manual
has an Exedy stage 3 clutch and routes power to the Ford 8.8 inch
rear with 4.10 gears and TracLoc.
Undercarriage
Driver quality and dry conditions prevail underneath where headers
send dual exhaust back through a muffler delete system that
terminates at big, chrome tips. Roush suspension is onboard with
Macpherson struts in front and a 3 link, coil springs and a panhard
bar in back. Power disc brakes are distributed to each corner.
Drive-Ability
Upon start up, we notice a check engine light and scanning reveals
about 12 codes, (see photos). The car sounds great but we're
relegated to an in place functional check and all items operate as
they should in the cabin and beyond. The tire pressure sensor fault
is on in addition to the previous codes. 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.
Once this one has been gone through, we're confident it will run
with the horses. That is, it has all the makings of a fast and
powerful thoroughbred on steroids and presents cleanly inside and
out. Grab the reins of this stallion and make it right!
