6,750 Pampered Miles/1 Owner/Never In Rain or Snow/4.6 Liter 3V V8/5-Speed

2006 Ford Mustang GT

The Mustang created the "pony car" class of American cars, distinguished as affordable sporty coupes with long hoods and short rear decks, and gave rise to competitors such as the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, AMC Javelin, Chrysler's revamped Plymouth Barracuda, and the second-generation Dodge Challenger. The Mustang is also credited for inspiring the designs of coupés such as the Toyota Celica and Ford Capri, which were imported to the United States. As of August 2018, over 10 million Mustangs have been produced in the U.S.

For consignment, a GT version of the Mustang. This car has painted on blue stripes, never been in rain or snow, has its window sticker, is a one owner car and has only logged a mere 6,570 miles. This is an S197 chassis GT, and in very nice condition with just a few performance add-ons to give it the right look, sound, and stance.

Exterior
Performance White with blue painted stripes come together to create the menacing look for this muscle car. Ford went all out for the design, reminiscent of the early models it just looks beefier, and more refined on the line aspect. The front of the car is more “aero” designed, and has an integrated body matching bumper, blackened grille with fog lights, and the ubiquitous galloping pony. All these styling cues can be seen from way back in 1965 with its grille shape, and rear taillight configuration. A long smooth hood fronts backed out trim around beautiful glass. Blackened and matte sprayed side view mirrors, some minimalistic but clean badging, and 18” factory upgrade wheels wrapped with BF Goodrich G-Force T/A's, complete the look.

Interior
Dark Charcoal leather and vinyl come together to make up the upholstery for the front buckets and rear 2 plus 2 seats which are like new. The driver's bucket is powered, as are the windows and locks. A very simple dash houses another cue, more from 1967/1968 than 1965, in the form of the dual circular embedded instruments behind the steering wheel, although the 65 version utilized a horizontal speedometer. An AM/FM/CD Shaker 500 stereo system, A/C, traction control fill the center swooped down section of the dash. A leather wrapped shift knob tops the leather booted Steeda shifter which sits in a center console that makes its way past the buckets to the rear 2+2's. Nice black carpet has black factory floor mats which protect the carpet and a clean black felt headliner hangs above

Drivetrain
A 4.6 Liter, 3 Valve, V8 with EFI, attached to a TR3650 5-speed manual transmission, puts power rearward to an 8.8” 3.55 geared TracLok rear axle. All clean and green under this hood and Ford Racing cold air intake helps with the breathing.

Undercarriage
Typifying a 6,570 mile car, no rust at all and looking just like it did coming down the assembly line at Flat Rock. An independent coil spring front suspension and 3-link rear suspension have the added benefit of lowering springs. As an add on to help this pony gallop is a cat back dual exhaust system courtesy of Ford Racing. Power disc brakes are noted all around as is power steering and a 1-piece aluminum driveshaft.

Drive-Ability
Our muscle car crack decoder took this baby out to the track and he had an absolute ball. I did not think he was going to return, but alas he did and reported with a grin it performed great and is all buttoned up on the drive-ability front. Sometimes it's nice to get behind the wheel of an almost stock car, especially one with such low miles. All was working as it should and the interior still has that new car smell.

A well presenting and powerful running GT in white with painted blue stripes, a nice homage to the first Shelby GT-350's of yore. A low mileage, pampered, one owner car, presented for your enjoyment here at Classic Auto Mall.
