Vehicle Description
Jack Roush and Fords go back a long way, and the Roush signature
series Mustangs have always been special cars. This 2007 Roush 427R
is one of only a handful built that year, packing a supercharged
4.6 liter V8, and since this one was purchased as a future
collectable, it shows a scant 7742 actual miles.
The unusual Vista Blue finish is accentuated by white Roush stripes
that are, not surprisingly, reminiscent of the famous Boss 302.
With such low mileage, you know the physical presentation is
immaculate and the car seems to glow in the showroom. The deeper
Roush chin spoiler isn't mangled and scraped, the special hood
scoop sits proudly atop the hood, and the rear wing fits so well
that it's hard to believe it was installed in three pieces. As
usual, the highest praise we can give a car is that it is like new,
and this car presents very close to the way it would have when the
first owner unwrapped it on a very special day in 2007. It's been
driven, but carefully! Roush was always careful to select upgrades
that were functional, not merely cosmetic, so the body add-ons add
stability at high speeds as well as force-feeding cool air to the
supercharged power plant living under the hood.
The interior is standard Mustang equipment, but in 2007, that was
definitely a good thing. The vintage-themed pony car delivers big
comfort with black bucket seats wrapped in comfortable leather, a
big three-spoke steering wheel, and white-faced gauges that monitor
all the vitals and wear big ROUSH logos on their faces. Everything
was standard equipment, including A/C, power windows, locks, and
mirrors, a tilt wheel, cruise control, and a thumping AM/FM/ CD
stereo system that can still compete with the rumbling exhaust
note. Of note, the Hurst short shifter for the 5-speed manual
gearbox is a joy to row through the gears and Jack put his
signature on various parts of the interior, just to remind you that
you're driving something special built by one of the great names in
Blue Oval motorsports. And this Mustang is also practical, offering
a deep, flat trunk that'll easily accommodate all your gear for a
long road trip. Oh, and one of the coolest things ever: there's a
custom Roush tool kit under the trunk lid, but it's so beautiful, I
bet you'll never use it!
Hardware is what matters on a Roush, and the '427' in its name
refers to the horsepower output of the supercharged, excuse me,
ROUSHcharged, 4.6 liter 3-valve V8. At the time, it was the most
powerful Roush Mustang ever built and even today, it's bloody fast.
But with all that power comes a remarkable amount of
sophistication, making this a car you can easily drive every day. A
few revisions to the engine software and a less restrictive exhaust
system add a few horsepower over the former Stage 3 models, and
it's an absolute blast to drive. Underneath, Roush also adds
stiffer springs and shocks, upgraded sway bars, and a few other
goodies to give the suspension the competence it needs to handle
the power. It's shockingly clean under there, too, because it's
unlikely that this car has ever seen rain, so every factory detail
is still vivid and easy to see. Custom Roush 18-inch alloys are
bathed in chrome and then wrapped with a set of aggressive
performance radials that still have a lot of life left in them.
Fully documented and beautifully, this is a collector-grade tuner
Mustang from one of the great names in motorsports. Call today!
