2007 Ford Mustang

2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT Coupe When Ford redesigned their Mustang a couple of years ago, some criticized the retro styling, saying the automaker didn't employ a fresh, contemporary approach. I applauded the retro themed, ninth generation Mustang for both its styling and its substance. And I'm not the only one fond of the new Mustang. Ford's Mustang has remained popular for more than 40 years. It's the only pony car from the 1960s to have lived on without an interruption of production. Drivechicago.com  For consignment, a 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT couple with a title verified 17,635 actual miles. Only 5,651 Shelby GT's were produced in 2007 with 2,266 of them white and the remaining 3,385 black. Exterior Black paint is accented with almost imperceptible stripes, here in Mineral Gray and like ribbons on a birthday present, these stripes start on the front bumper, run over the Super Snake-like hood, continue over the roof, then down the decklid, spilling on the rear fascia and lower valance to frame the license plate. There are also rocker stripes here appearing and disappearing like a ghost in certain light. No big wing, no extra vents, this one presents with more subtlety than your average Shelby Mustang, lurking just under the radar but whizzing by in a badass black blur. Staggered sized wheels, 19-inch in front and 20-inch in back, carry ZR rated tires and a billet style upper and lower grille change up the fascia a bit. Imperfections are few and include a scratch and crack in the paint on the hood, a few chips on the door, and some typical chin scrapes.  Interior Black leather comes together to make up the upholstery for the front buckets and rear 2 plus 2 seats, with tuck and roll inserts and smooth bolsters adorn the seats and all four are in great shape. The door panels are basic black with some typical waviness to the leather insert on the passenger side. A very simple dash houses another queue from days past in the form of the dual circular embedded instruments and for extra flair, some of the vent housing has been reappropriated for gauges. The center stack includes a touchscreen, AM/FM/6 CD player, AC, and traction control, all standard for your convenience and listening pleasure. Between the twin vents housing is the coveted numbered Shelby plate stamped with the man's signature. A ball handled black shifter sits in a center console over nice black carpeting covering the floors and below the foam backed charcoal headliner in just about pristine condition. The trunk is clean and finished with gray flannel clad panels.  Drivetrain Some snaking air piping highlights a clean engine bay where the 4.6 liter 3 valve V8 lurks, connected to Procharger P-1SC-1 supercharger and packing NSR Stage 1 cams. It's mated to a Tremec 3650 5-speed manual transmission routing power to the Ford 8.8 in back with 3.55 gears and TracLoc. Headers are on board for a few more potential ponies. Undercarriage Clean underneath with some typical component surface rust but dry conditions all around. Here, the dual exhaust meets an X-pipe after the high flow cats and find their way to the original mufflers and big chrome tips. Power disc brakes are at all four corners and suspension consists of Macpherson struts up front with  a 3 link, coil springs, and a panhard bar in back.  Drive-Ability A glorious thundering exhaust is emitted with a touch of the throttle and we roll this very capable GT onto the test loop where it exhibits good power, great road holding abilities, and an all around nice driving experience for the enthusiast in all of us! We note the power mirrors are not working but all other functions operate as they should on this high performer. 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. You can't call this one a sleeper, but it is a stealthy looking beast hunkering
