2006 Ford Mustang

2006 Ford Mustang GT Coupe When the S197 platform was released in 2005, the performance aftermarket latched on to the car in a way it had never done in the past. New and exciting go fast components were being released on a seemingly daily basis. This was an extremely exciting time to be a Mustang enthusiast, but the performance world was evolving right before our eyes. MotorTrend, July 2019 For consignment, a 2006 Ford Mustang GT coupe with a title verified 7,941 actual miles. Unlike the car MotorTrend featured in 2019, this car has a single modification and is presented in its new like stock configuration. If you missed on buying a 2006 GT new, you just got a second chance! Exterior Ford went all out for the design, reminiscent of the early models with beefier proportions and a more refined line aspect. The front of the car is more aero designed, and has an integrated body matching bumper, blackened honeycomb grille with inboard 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. Black is used generously here covering everything from the door handles to the rear spoiler to the side mirrors which take on a matte plastic finish. 17-inch wheels retain their original tires and offer the only contrast to the black other than the GT emblem on the side. There are several scuffs and a small dent over the passenger's rear wheel opening which are the only exterior imperfections we find. Interior Black plastic and vinyl come together to cleanly cover the tidy door panels and the often troublesome inserts are in perfect condition here. Charcoal cloth makes up the upholstery for the front buckets and rear 2 plus 2 seats with patterned inserts and showing no wear as expected for the mileage. A very simple dash houses another cue, more 60's influence, in the form of the dual circular embedded instruments behind the leather wrapped steering wheel. An AM/FM/CD stereo system, A/C, and various switchgear are smoothly integrated into the center stack, uniformly backed by black plastic. 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 black carpet has carpeted factory floor mats which protect the carpet and out back is a clean charcoal gray felt lined trunk. Up above, the foam backed headliner is just about pristine. Drivetrain Under the hood sits the spotless 4.6 liter 3 valve V8 rated at a healthy 300 horsepower and backed by a Tremec 3650 5-speed manual transmission. Power is routed to the Ford 8.8 rear with 3.55 gears and TracLoc. This modern pony car has four wheel power disc brakes for bringing sprints down to a trot. Undercarriage Other than some typical oxidation on untreated metal components, this underside looks as though it left the assembly plant yesterday. Simply clean with parts labels and wax pencil marks still in place. The dual exhaust finds an H-pipe and continues on to FlowMaster mufflers which give way to chrome tips that fit into the rear valance like butter. Suspension here is made up of coil springs up front and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar out back. Drive-Ability No surprises here as the 2006 time capsule starts, runs, handles, and tracks like a new car. Comfortable, quick, and responsive, this is one you could live with on a daily basis. Naturally, all functional items on board operate as expected.

Clean, reliable, fast, and modern. This Mustang GT represents Ford's legacy of one of the most popular cars in world history. It's ideal for
