2007 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
Continued from Page 1
New for 2007
Not much changes for 2007 following the new-generation Mustang's highly successful debut. GT Premium models purchased anywhere in the country can add the new GT California Special Package, which includes 18-inch wheels, unique front and rear fascias and tape stripes on the doors, rolled bright exhaust tips, Cal Special exclusive Dove or Camel leather seat inserts and "Mustang" brushed aluminum plated floormats, side scoops, and a chin spoiler 1.5 inches lower than GT-only spoilers. A new GT Appearance Package includes rolled exhaust tips, hood scoop and an engine cover with a Pony emblem. GT Premium buyers can order both packages combined for maximum Mustang expression.


Mustangs are available in coupe or convertible body styles, with your choice of four trim levels: V6 Deluxe, V6 Premium, GT Deluxe and GT Premium. New for 2007, all Mustang models come with a standard feature auxiliary audio input jack, optional DVD-based navigation system (available after December 2006), available SIRIUS satellite radio, and a new comfort package featuring electrochromic mirror with compass, driver and front-passenger heated seats, and a 6-way power front-passenger seat (available with leather trimmed seating and power driver seat).

Inside Edition
The large, roomy cabin is easily the best ever in a Mustang. "This is a $30,000 interior in a $20,000 car," Mustang Chief Designer Larry Erickson asserts. "The functional, contemporary look—and its precise execution set a new standard." The three-spoke steering wheel's black center hub proudly flaunts the running horse on a tri-color bar logo, echoing the '67 Mustang. Chromed-ring air vents align with the gauges across the dash. The available Interior Color Accent Package—charcoal with red leather-trimmed seats, red door inserts and red floor mats—is a real jaw-dropper, available authentic aluminum accents are especially eye-catching and available color-configurable instrument lighting is an innovative industry first. At the touch of a button, you can choose one of 125 different color backgrounds to suit your mood or outfit.

2007 Ford Mustang GT Interior

Thanks to efficient packaging, larger overall size and width and a substantial six-inch wheelbase gain over the previous generation, all four occupants enjoy more room, especially taller drivers. There are more standard features than ever before, including one-touch up/down power windows, power mirrors, keyless entry and power locks, a heated rear window and interval wipers. Audio systems range from a standard CD player to a 1,000-watt, 10-speaker Audiophile system.

Sweet V-8 Power
The new standard 4.0-liter SOHC V-6 generates a very respectable 210 hp and 240 lb.-ft. of torque, 17 more horses and 15 more lb.-ft. than the pushrod 3.8-liter it replaced. It's smoother and more compact and incorporates many of the V-8's advanced technologies, including low-profile heads and a composite intake manifold. The GT's 300-hp 4.6-liter V-8 provides the ultimate in instant gratification. Tickle the right pedal, and it leaps into action, sounding every bit as sweet as those emissions-unrestricted V-8s of old, especially in the delightfully decadent top-down convertible.
