This 1997 Ford Mustang GT shows the exact reason why young classics are awesome. It has custom paint, a race-inspired interior, and some nice upgrades to the fuel-injected V8. But what this never loses along the way is the feeling of a solid new-era classic that delivers all the best features you would even want in a brand-new car.
The red and purple two-tone lets people instantly know this is a custom car. It was done in 2021, and so you'll only find minimal imperfections from driving and washing. And the golden pinstripe is a nice touch to add some distinction and coordinate with the golden pony up front. There are nice GT pieces seen on the hood, rockers, and spoiler. But this one really turns the sporty style up a few notches with the large polished exhaust tips and 18-inch American Muscle black wheels. Plus, the clear headlights and front lip put a more aggressive face forward. It all makes for a unique creation that you'll be surprised is eligible for vintage plates in many states.
The custom feeling continues inside, and now it comes with a speedy twist. The back seat has been eliminated and a race cage put in its place that properly extends into the trunk. There are even Crow racing harnesses. But don't think of this as a pure track day machine (the regular shoulder seatbelts are even still in place and usable.) After all, this also has nice regular driving features like cold-blowing air conditioning, dual airbags, tinted glass, well-bolstered bucket seats done in a cool ostrich pattern, and an AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth. And you'll enjoy the feeling of a proper GT that gives you a sports steering wheel on a tilt column, full factory gauges, and an upgraded Hurst shifter.
One of the reasons a Mustang GT like this stays in demand is because the later 4th gen model benefits from the upgrade to the 4.6-liter SOHC modular V8. It created a new performance era for the pony car that also likes upgrades. And you can see that on this one with the cold air intake, Accufab throttle body, and long tube headers feeding a sweet-sounding dual exhaust. This pony car runs strong, and you get to take full advantage of it thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. The handling is superior with power steering, ZR-rated performance tires, sway bars front & rear, adjustable camber plates, and four-wheel disc brakes that include ABS.
The sale comes with build photos and about $15k in build receipts. With a sleek look, the right upgrades, and a strong fuel-injected V8 heart... this Mustang delivers everything you want, including the value price. Call today!!!
