1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible �€" Supercharged 5.0 V8, 5-Speed
Manual, Saddle Leather Interior Why This Car Is Special The 1995
Ford Mustang GT Convertible occupies an interesting place in
Mustang history. It was the second model year of the SN95
generation, a platform Ford built around a substantially redesigned
body and improved chassis compared to the outgoing Fox-body. The
5.0-liter V8 was in its final year for the GT in 1995 �€" Ford
replaced it with the 4.6-liter modular engine for 1996 �€" which
makes this a closing chapter on the pushrod small-block era that
Mustang enthusiasts associate with decades of aftermarket
development, tuning knowledge, and proven performance. That history
is exactly what makes the 5.0 such a popular platform for forced
induction. This particular 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible goes
well beyond the factory configuration. Someone invested serious
money in the engine bay. A Kenne Bell twin-screw supercharger sits
on top of the 302, which is a meaningful distinction from the more
common centrifugal supercharger setups. Twin-screw blowers build
boost at lower RPM, which means the power comes on early in the rev
range rather than at the top end. The result is a very different
character than a Vortech or Paxton �€" stronger, more immediate
torque from around town speeds. Paired with an MSD ignition system,
cold air intake, and sequential fuel injection, the engine package
was built to support that added cylinder pressure correctly. This
is not a bolt-on-and-hope setup; it is a coordinated combination of
components. Beyond the engine, the car received chassis and
suspension work that shows someone understood where the stock SN95
needed help. Sub-frame connectors address the inherent flex in the
unibody convertible structure �€" a known weakness on this platform
that makes a measurable difference in how the car feels and handles
under hard acceleration. Add Edelbrock rear shocks and Cobra disc
brakes at all four corners, and this 1995 Ford Mustang GT
Convertible is equipped to use its power without immediately
running out of chassis underneath it. Features List - Kenne Bell

heart of this 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is the 5.0-liter
pushrod V8 �€" the 302 cubic inch engine that Ford put in the GT
from 1982 through 1995. In stock form it produced 215 horsepower.
This one has had the Kenne Bell twin-screw supercharger installed,
which uses a positive-displacement design to compress air
mechanically using two intermeshing rotors. Unlike a centrifugal
supercharger that spins up with engine RPM, the twin-screw design
moves a fixed volume of air per revolution, which translates to
boost that is available low in the powerband. It is the same
operating principle used in the factory supercharger on the Mustang
SVT Cobra R of that era and later production blower Mustangs.
Supporting the forced induction are an MSD ignition system �€"
which improves spark energy and timing accuracy under boost �€" and
a cold air intake that draws from outside the engine compartment
rather than recirculating hot underhood air. The sequential fuel
injection system manages fueling per-cylinder, which ma
