2002 Ford Mustang “The pony”
About the 1999–2004 Ford Mustang
from the generation archive
The 1999 Ford Mustang carried the New Edge restyle, applying sharper character lines and larger wheel openings to the SN95 platform that had launched in 1994. The base engine remained the 3.8L (232 cu in) Essex V6, and the GT used the single-overhead-cam modular 4.6L (281 cu in) V8, revised to 260 hp net for 1999. The 1999 SVT Cobra gained an independent rear suspension, the first Mustang ever fitted with IRS from the factory, with its DOHC 4.6L rated at 320 hp net. The New Edge years produced a run of memorable special models: the 2000 Cobra R with a 5.4L DOHC V8, the 2001 Bullitt GT, and for 2003-2004 the supercharged Terminator SVT Cobra alongside the revived Mach 1. The 2004 model year closed the generation and coincided with Mustang's 40th anniversary. The 2004 Mustang was the last SN95/New Edge year, but it was not the last solid-axle Mustang generation; the 2005-2014 S197 that followed kept a live rear axle.
The story
Bought from a dealer in Daytona about 8 yrs ago. Is a green convertible with tan top and interior. Have been very surprised at the amount of weight that it will carry in the trunk. Have put 6 big bags of feed and other stuff in the trunk as well as loading the back seat, driving over 150 miles loaded then down a 5 mile dirt road to get home. It did not even bog down. Has been a fun car to have. — bluedak
