For Sale: 1998 Ford Mustang in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1998 Mustang GT Convertible

"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!" Excerpted from the 1998 Mustang sales brochure.

For consignment, a 1998 Ford Mustang GT convertible with a title verified 29,023 actual miles. Not only is this a First Place winner in the SN95 division at Carlisle 2017, but it was first owned by a performance shop owner who spared no expense to upgrade this car including the conversion from automatic to a five speed car.

Exterior
This well maintained car has always been garage kept and adult owned and that's first apparent on the outside where the Chrome Yellow paint shines bright; the right shade to highlight the character lines of the car including the midline that feeds into the rear quarter duct and the gentle rise of the hood center. The monochromatic coverage includes the windshield surround, the rear wing, yellow calipers, and the tail light housing. Black is saved for the sport mirrors and the canvas roof and of course, the tires, ZR rated units wrapped around 17-inch Cobra R chrome wheels. That bit of bling is picked up by the straight exhaust pipes that hug the underside with just enough exposure to be intimidating and just enough extension to be heard! Imperfections are few and limited to some inclusions, flex cracks, minor scuffs, and one bit of curb rash.

Interior
Standard GT door panels are designed practically with black molded plastic and they contain minimal buttons and speakers sculpted into the door card, both appearing clean. We turn to the front bucket seats, charcoal cloth with decorative print inside the supports and both front buckets and rear 2+2 are in excellent shape. A running horse is embossed on the leather wrapped steering wheel's airbag center which has thumb buttons for cruise control, leading to the symmetrical gauge cluster and column mounted boost gauge. The center stack is home to basic climate control knobs, an AM/FM/Cassette radio and CD player at a time when America was still making the transition between the two. The short throw shifter is topped by a yellow ball and dressed in a black leather boot. The low pile black carpet, protected by carpeted floor mats with Mustang embroidered in red, is in great shape as is the trunk lined in gray cloth covered panels. This is a practically flawless interior!

Drivetrain
Things get extra interesting under the hood where an Allen Supercharger was mated with the 4.6 SOHC V8, resulting in an estimated 300 horsepower. It's backed by a Tremec 3550 5-speed manual with new McLeod Street Pro clutch, spinning a Ford Motorsports aluminum driveshaft to the 8.8" rear with 2.73 gears and TracLok. There's also a BBK air intake, headers, and Screaming Demon coil packs on board.

Undercarriage
Clean and tidy underneath with some typical surface rust and age induced patina. The dual exhaust enters an X-pipe before the FlowMaster mufflers and exits through straight, polished pipes out back. Power disc brakes are on all four wheels and suspension includes coil springs front and rear with a 4 link in back.

Drive-Ability
Like a ray of sunshine, this pony car cuts through the test loop with the speed of light but unlike the big star in the sky, does so with an exhaust symphony that will cause habitual throttle stomp. There's good power here, a comfortable interior with responsive shifter, and straight tracking. Turn ins are not too shabby either! To top things off, all functions on board operate as they should and it's time to bring some of this light indoors! 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.

Sure, GT's are considered sporty cars, but with a rare Allen supercharger under the hood and a five speed behind it, this one is a bit more sporty than your typical GT of the era. You know what we call that? A sleeper! Of course, the bright exterior and enhanced exhaust note will put an end to that status at every red light!
