2002 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe

2002 Ford Mustang GT Convertible With 260 wild horses under the hood, it's almost cruel to keep Mustang GT confined to the parking deck. So today you hit the road hard. You've got the wind in your hair. The sun on your face. Mustang. It demands the freedom to flex its mighty muscles. But you're happy to oblige. From the 2002 sales brochure. For consignment, a 2002 Ford Mustang GT convertible showing 74,101 miles, but due to exemption this cannot be verified however, VINDATA does concur. This pampered pony has FlowMaster stainless exhaust and a brand new set of Michelin Pilot tires. Yes, only the best for this thoroughbred! Exterior More than 138,000 Mustang GT's were built in 2002 and this one left the factory in Satin Silver Pearl paint, a fantastic neutral color offset by the black features of the car which includes the canvas soft top. Flush headlights give the car a slightly aggressive grin augmented by the fog light integrated into the chin spoiler and the scoop on the hood. 17-inch Bullitt wheels in argent with a polished rim also look great and are wrapped in 245/45ZR17 tires with a mid 2024 date code. The tidy tail of the car carries flush mounted tail lights with their heritage three sections over a smooth bumper cover and some wind splitting slits in the valance along with cut outs for the dual exhaust tips. Overall, the paint is in good shape with imperfection notes as rock chips and scratches on the lower and rocker panels, touches up chips, random scratches, a scuff in the lower cladding, blemishes on the hood, and a crack in the cowl panel. Interior There's contrast on the inside as well with Ford's Medium Graphite combining with black plastic on the door panels replete with swooping ovals and a carpeted lower insert. Gray leather covers the seats with perforated and tuck and roll inserts, showing some patina on the driver's side, a bit less on the passenger side, and almost none on the rear 2+2's. A two tone steering wheel leads to an instrument cluster inset in a cove, a symmetrical arrangement of gauges, clean and easy to read. The center stack is also unassuming and efficient, housing the A/C knobs, an AM/FM/6 CD radio, and various switchgear. Things get serious in the center console where the tall shifter rises from a clean black leather boot and the plastic construction of the console includes a pair of cupholders and padded armrest. Nice gray carpet covers the floor, the soft top's headliner is in nice shape, and the trunk is lined in gray cloth covered panels and is spotless. Drivetrain The clean engine sits under a less than perfect insulator pad, and the rather busy bay houses the 4.6 liter SOHC V8, fuel injected and rated at 260 horsepower. Behind it, a Tremec 3650 5=speed manual that routes power to the Ford 8.8 in back with 3.27 gears and TracLoc. Undercarriage Well, there's plenty of typical surface rust underneath on an otherwise clean and dry undercarriage. Power disc brakes are supplied to all four wheels and the FlowMaster cat back system includes mufflers and polished exhaust tips. Suspension consists of coil springs front and rear with a 4 link included in back. Drive-Ability Other than driving in the snow, Mustang GT's of this era do everything well. They have great power, nimble handling, and a comfortable, analog interior. This one checks all of those boxes, providing the ability for a spirited run on a whim while being completely happy as a daily driver. This well maintained Mustang has all its bells and whistles working with nothing out of place. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Clean, simple, fast. What's not to love about this 2002 Mustang GT? Still not convinced? How about the brand new tires and the ability to drop the top at a moment's notice and feel the full effect of the 260 horsepower V8? If you've re
