The launch of the 1994 model year of the Ford Mustang was arguably
the moment that the vehicle propelled itself into the era of
"modern cars". After years of anticipation that had fans eagerly
awaiting the next generation, the fourth generation, internally
known by the code SN95, finally debuted. The 1999 model year
brought about a mid cycle refresh just in time for the new
millennium. The 1999-2004 Mustangs are referred to as "New Edge'',
which was Ford's global design language during that time
period.
For consignment a 2003 Ford Mustang GT convertible with a title
verified 56,476 actual miles. This former show car has been garage
kept and has a newer interior according to our consignor.
Exterior
Can't miss Zinc Yellow paint adorns this pony car with lots of
metallic black accenting that includes rocker stripes, hood
stripes, more stripes over the wing and a black latch panel, the
canvas top, and some very nice 17-inch American Muscle Bullitt
style wheels, here wrapped in 245/45ZR17 tires. The Mustang
stamping on the rear bumper has been accentuated by it being filled
in with black and the side sport mirrors also provide the contrast
with satin black plastic. Scoops abound for cosmetics and include
the one on the hood and intakes on each sail panel. A small splash
of color is provided by the red caliper covers which contain the
Mustang brand. Imperfections include some flex cracks on the bumper
along with scratches and scuffs, chips, overspray, a gash in a
sidewall, chin spoiler scrapes, and some random scuffs.
Interior
Door panels are well designed and monochromatically charcoal and
present in nice condition with the exception of some spilled glue
on the driver's side. Yellow and black leather buckets catch your
attention and flank a center console that has a spacious glove
box/armrest, cup holder, and the simple shifter. These rear seats
wear the same colors and also include the yellow piping, all
showing in very nice shape. Up front, the standard steering wheel
contains thumb controls seen across the Ford line in this era, and
front a simple cluster and an efficient center stack with A/C panel
and AM/FM/6 CD radio. A twin rounded dash harkens back to earlier
generation Mustangs and displays well while charcoal carpeting
floods the floors and is protected by black Mustang branded
carpeted mats. The trunk also remains clean and finished in gray
cloth panels.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the 4.6 liter SOHC V8, fuel injected and rated at
260 horsepower. It's mated to a 4R70W 4-speed automatic
transmission that sends power to the Ford 8.8" rear with 3.27 gears
and TracLoc. The bay contains some yellow accents including the
coil packs, the factory oil fill cap, and the dipstick handle.
Undercarriage
Other than some typical surface rust, the underside shows a
spectacularly clean, with dual exhaust the run through FlowMaster
mufflers after an H-pipe, and then out through robust polished
tips. Four wheel power disc brakes are on board and suspension
consists of coil springs at both ends with a 4 link in the
back.
Drive-Ability
We've come to appreciate the power and toss-ability of the New Edge
generation and this example doesn't disappoint. It has good power
and acceleration, handles well, and stops on demand. We note the
A/C is not working but all other functions operate as intended, and
it's back to the stable for this wild horse. 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.
A nice custom exterior treatment here means you won't be confusing
your car with other Zinc Yellow Mustangs at the next Mustang show.
Here's a car that's fun out of the box with the bonus advantage of
having a soft top. Thanks to the yellow and black leather seats,
you might be riding in open air, but it won't be bare back!
