Exterior
Coming at you, it is that fascia that sets this, and most special edition Mustangs, apart. It's the first thing that registers in your brain about being different from your typical GT. A little lower, a bit more aggressive, and all well executed. In profile, the ghost decal is characteristic and so are the 19-inch wheels, here wrapped in ZR rated 45 series meats. The four post wing also provides a subtle hint to the specialness and those close enough will see it spelled out on the faux gas cap in back. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the black canvas top, however, just having a soft top is noteworthy enough and it remains in good condition. With that top down, the windshield takes on its steeply raked profile. Imperfections include some bubbles at hood edge and on the underside that also includes some filler, corrected chips, blotches on the side decals, a few rock chips on the windshield, and random scratches and scuffs.

Interior
Charcoal door panels feature carbon design inserts and geometric shapes that are ergonomic and purposeful and both doors present cleanly. The carbon pattern continues on the band style tuck and roll that serves as the inserts for the black leather buckets and 2+2 rear and other than some compression on the driver's seat, all have held up very well. GT/CS is embossed in the front seat backs for a subtle cue. The robust steering wheel fronts white faced gauges in more carbon trim and textured gray plastic, and this pattern continues across the dash. An information screen and push button controls for screen, AM/FM/CD radio, and A/C are fully integrated neatly into the center stack while a meaty T-shaped shifter resides in the console with both black and polished trim and it's obvious this car has been pampered as it all appears in great shape. Low pile charcoal carpet below and a fully finished trunk complete our tour of this car's thoughtful interior.

Drivetrain
A strut brace bridges the impressive engine in the bay, a clean 5.0 liter Coyote V8, fuel injected and cranking out 415 horsepower. It's mated to a 6R80 6-speed transmission that sends power spinning back to the Ford 8.8" rear with 3.15 gears and TracLoc.

Undercarriage
Other than the typical surface rust, the underside is clean and dry and belies the mileage counter on the car. Naturally, power disc brakes are at all four wheels and the dual exhaust still travels through the original system all the way back to the tips. Suspension consists of Macpherson struts in front and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar in back.

Drive-Ability
Once again the car defies what you would expect from a 94,000 mile example, a testament to care and modern technology! She starts, runs, idles and gallops around the test loop without a hiccup and still provides an exhilarating experience, felt more viscerally if you put the top down to feel the wind and hear the exhaust. All functional items on board work as intended and into the showroom she goes! 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.

Right color, right body style, legendary drivetrain, and not just any GT, a California Special! Like they would say on SNL's "The Californians," it's time you get in your car, get on the 76, and keep going! Whether Ventnor or Ventura or somewhere in between is your destination, this one provides two tickets and five liters to paradise!
