Description
The year 1999 is significant in Mustang terms as the 35th anniversary of this legendary model and Ford gave the Fox platform 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 (260 bhp at 5250 rpm) thanks to a higher-lift camshaft, coil-on-plug ignition, larger valves and a revised intake manifold. Little change was made for 2000 aside from the removal of the 35th Anniversary badges. 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.
