1996 Ford Mustang Crystal White GT Coupe, Detroit

1996 Ford Mustang GT CoupeExteriorBathed in Crystal White this body presents nicely with well mindedgaps and very good paint. A few battle scuffs show on the frontneoprene bumper cover and some chips are here and there especiallyin the seams. A few of the iconic Mustang design cues are stillpresent on this SN-95 Mustang. The first is the hockey stick covewhich starts on the front of the rear quarter panel with a faux airinlet duct and runs to the front of the doors and into the frontfender well. Second are the triple taillights which now wrap aroundto the rear of the quarters. An aerodynamic rear spoiler sits atopof the trunk lid. 17-inch dual 5 spoke aluminum alloy wheels arewrapped 255/45ZR17 rubber in front, and 245/45/ZR17s on backInteriorA swing of the door shows us gray leather front bucket seats thatshow some wear wrinkling on the drivers seat while the passengerseat and rear seats show minimal usage. Another iconic design cueis the dual swooped dash which presents in black and gray and meltsinto a center console with another rounded bottom curved line. Graycarpet covers all the floors. The iconic curves continue on thedoor panels in gray and black, with the swoops housing all thepower toggles for windows, locks and mirrors. All originalinstruments and all clean as well showing the driver all necessaryengine functions. A centrally located HVAC control keeps theoccupants comfortable year round and an aftermarket KenwoodAM/FM/CD player keeps the audiophile in us sated. Also, on thesteering column are two smaller round mounted boost andtransmission temperature gauges.DrivetrainA pop of the hood reveals a slightly aged but well kept 4.6L SOHCV8 wedged between the shock towers. A Vortech V1 Superchargerforces air into the engine and mixes with fuel via EFI. We seepower steering, air conditioning and hydro-boost power brakes. A4R70W 4-speed automatic transmission sends power back to a Ford8.8" rear axle that contains a 3.27 TracLok gear set. Reliabilityand fun all wrapped up in one.UndercarriageSeen underneath, a structurally sound undercarriage withindependent coil springs upfront, and 4 link with coil springs onthe rear. Some surface rust is seen on the usual suspects, but thisis surface variety so is mostly harmless. Power disc brakes are allaround. A clean and rust free dual exhaust system with Cherrybombmufflers puts a throaty sound out the back through chromed tipswhich peek out the bottom of the rear bumper cover.Drive-AbilityA quick starter, smooth runner, and very nice handling automobile.The Crystal White paint is fantastic, and the curvaceous interioris beautiful. The 4.6 Liter V8 provides adequate power, and theVortech V1 Supercharger puts a smile on my face (I love it when Iget to kick in these supercharger cars). The Kenwood gives greatsound quality even with all the glass down and the roar from thedual Cherry-bomb mufflers and exhaust. A plus!
