Ford Mustang (1994-2004) for Sale near Santa Clarita, CA

Love it, sounds great and runs amazing. Best car I’ve ever bought.

I purchased this Dark Shadow Gray Mach 1, based on the limited availability of the model, coupled with the fact that it had the same DOHC 4.6 litre engine as the Cobra, without the supercharger, but had ram air with the functional shaker hood scoop. Of course, the ram air is only partly true, as most of the intake still comes from the fender well as in all other Mustangs, and the shaker hood scoop, while functional, just brings in part of the air. In any case, the engine is a high winder, as found in overhead cam, versus overhead valve engines. It winds freely but the torque doesn't seem to kick in until you hit about 5,000 rpm, which left me feeling rather cold about the power. I was used to the pushrod Mustangs and the low RPM power curves, so maybe I was just disappointed in the lack of low end power, that would have been better satisfied by the Cobra with the supercharger, since that does produce gobs more low end power. I also noted many of the Mach 1 enthusiasts were retrofitting superchargers to their cars and thus were ending up with the proverbial "poor man's Cobra". Fit and finish were good, the paint job was about as fine as I have ever seen on a Ford product. Glass like and flawless. The black leather interior was nicely done and the bucket seats were comfortable. As always, the back seats are fine for a short trip for kids and small adults but not for any long hauls for anyone else. The five speed manual gearbox was relatively smooth, although a six speed would have been a lot better. All in all, a nice vehicle, but it should have had more power, more low end torque and maybe a longer production run. The two year run of the car proved it perhaps wasn't as popular as it should be, as many sat on dealer lots, and sold for many thousands off the MSRP as dealers deep discounted them to move them out.

I love everything about this car. It wouldn't be for sale if I could afford to keep both vehicles. I purchased it for my daughters graduation gift (due to the fact it was a one owner) from a local female who sold it due to the fact she needed more room. My daughter is now a new mother, and this vehicle is not infant friendly.

One of the cleaner designs of the late model Mustangs. No gingerbread or unnecessary wings, spoilers, or the hideous "running boards" found on the other models. I added a Cobra IRS and 2001 Cobra 4 cam engine, so it runs and handles a bit better than it did stock. Very enjoyable car to drive on a daily basis.

performance is good, handles like its on rails, which surprised me considering the aging live rear axle. 0-60 in around 5 flat ran the 1/4 mile in 13.7 at 101 when it was stock. Great subtle looks, Breaks are amazing because of the upgraded cobra brakes that come standard with the bullitt. I own number 2735
