2000 Ford Mustang GT Coupe (RHD)

The year 1999 is significant in Mustang terms as the 35th anniversary of this legendary model and Ford gave the car a birthday makeover, extensively restyling the bodywork with a harder-edged look resulting in tauter, more sculpted lines. Underneath, the Mustang was reworked with the option of ABS and Traction Control available for the first time while the fuel-injected 4.6-litre V8 now developed substantially more power (260bhp at 5250rpm) thanks to a higher-lift camshaft, coil-on-plug ignition, larger valves and a revised intake manifold. The Limited Edition (of 5,000 cars) Anniversary package boasted numerous cosmetic upgrades, such as a raised hood scoop, rear deck wing, 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels and Midnight Black GT leather upholstery with silver seat inserts plus a range of special colours. The Mustang had, by this time, evolved into a modern, high sports car capable of delivering all the scintillating performance and driver excitement of the original Mustang combined with luxuries and refinement never imagined by the Sixties driver.
