51,020 Miles/2 Owners/4.6L 3V V8/Tremec TR3650 Manual/Newer Front Brakes

2006 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

For consignment, a GT version of the Mustang. This 51,020 title verified actual mile 2 owner car remains highly original with only the addition of performance exhaust, and has had a recent oil change, new front brakes in 2021, and an alignment and speed balance in 2022. This is an S197 chassis GT drop top, and in very nice condition. The designers at Ford gave it just the right amount of retro look, sound, and stance.

Exterior
Factory applied Windveil Blue comes together with a tear free power actuated black canvas convertible top to create the sporty look for this muscle car. We note an excessive amount of dents and dings throughout the body and what appears to be hail damage on the horizontal surfaces of this sure-footed pony. 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 honeycomb 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 tail light configuration. More retro throwback appears with the triangle shaped quarter glass and small pedestal mounted rear spoiler. Blackened and matte finished side view mirrors, some minimalistic but clean badging, and 17” factory premium cast 5 spoke aluminum wheels wrapped with General rubber from the 4th week of 2020 in 235/55ZR17 format are on to 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. As expected for the mileage, both front seats show outer bolster and lower cushion wear and 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, and traction control fill the center swooped down section of the dash. A leather boot wrapped shifter, cup holders, and storage bin with a padded armrest topper all share space in the center console that makes its way past the buckets to the rear 2 plus 2's. Nice charcoal carpet has carpeted factory floor mats which protect the carpet and out back is a clean charcoal gray felt lined trunk.

Drivetrain
A 4.6 Liter 3 valve, V8 with EFI rests under the hood. Attached to the back is a Tremec TR3650 5-speed manual transmission putting power rearward to an 8.8” 3.31 geared rear axle. All clean and green, (blue and black actually), under this hood.

Undercarriage
Typifying thes miles to the car, only minor surface rust has appeared on the usual suspects, and we note a light spattering of road dirt covering the goldish colored solid flooring. An independent coil spring front suspension and 3-link rear suspension keep this pony surefooted. As an add on to help this pony gallop is an axle back dual exhaust system courtesy of Flowmaster. Power disc brakes are noted all around as is power steering and the factory 2-piece 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 and enjoy the way the engineers and designers made them. All was working as it should and the interior has that wonderful aged leather smell.

A well-presented and powerful running GT in Windveil Blue almost exactly the way Ford designed it. A very nice throwback to the Mustangs of yore. A well-kept, sharp looking throwback pony, presented for your enjoyment here at Classic Auto Mall.
