This one wears a shade of greenish gray paint and a GT stripe that reads GT 300 which likely indicates horsepower.  Exterior Our consignor had this car painted a unique gray tone and when coupled with some other cosmetic modifications, makes for a Mustang no one else likely has. The enhancements begin with the high performance hood with dual intakes up front and dual vents closer to the cowl, and hood pins holding the fiberglass piece down. Right up front are inboard rally lights close together in the center of the grille, replacing the galloping horse. In profile, the 17-inch Torque Thrust wheels, gray with silver rims, look great and wear spinners, while a white rocker stripe might confuse a few people with its GT 300 display. Intake ducts are in place on the rear quarter panel and over the rear window, Shelby style, while a subtle, integrated rear wing is built into the decklid. Imperfections on the clean exterior includes a spider crack on the front fender, scuff on the hood, delamination on a wheel, and random chips and paint runs.  Interior We'll start on the door panels because this generation was plagued with perforated inserts that would come loose with a good bit of consistency and despite clean black plastic door panels, that is the case here as well. It is pronounced on the lower edge on the driver's side and on the top on the passengers but we've seen much worse. Black leather bucket seats with white stitching are in good shape and the rear 2+2 barely looks used. A cover with some woodgrain accenting surrounds our steering wheel rim and the simple, analog instrument cluster is in view of the driver and the center stack goes more electronic with a generous screen over A/C dials leading seamlessly to the center console. Slight patina is evident on the plastic and houses a robust T-shifter, cupholders, and storage. Black carpet is in good shape on the floor and a fitted mat in the trunk presents cleanly.  Drive-train Under the hood is a bay that belies the mileage, housing a 4.6 liter 3 valve V8 boasting 300 horsepower and mated to a 5R55N 5-speed automatic transmission. Power is delivered via pony express to the Mustang's 8.8 rear with 3.31 gears and TracLoc.  Undercarriage Some typical metal corrosion exists and some surface rust, but generally clean underneath. A trailer hitch has been added and is mounted between the chrome exhaust tips that connect to Street Flow mufflers as the pipes slide in tandem back to the engine, hitting an H-pipe just before heading up to the bay. Power disc brakes are employed on all four wheels and suspension consists of McPherson struts in front and a 3 link with coil springs and a panhard bar in back. Drive-Ability This pony's obviously been pampered because it remains in good shape despite turning 20 years old. No runs, no drips, no errors, as they say and the car still delivers good power, living up to the rocker stripes on the sides. All functions, including the AM/FM/CD unit, operate as intended and it's back to the okay corral for this one! 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. This is a great looking fifth generation Mustang GT in a color not many, if any, have. It runs well and presents cleanly and is going to be 300 horses of fun for the next owner. The hood, wheels, and scoops all add to the outward brawn of this beast so don't be surprised if th
