This 2005 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe is far more than just a modern classic-it's a purpose-built, street-ready muscle car with serious hardware under the hood. Featuring a freshly built engine pushing 465 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque, this Mustang brings performance far beyond factory spec, backed by a list of high-quality upgrades focused on power, reliability, and driving engagement.
At its core is a fully forged 4.6L V8, assembled with premium internals including billet timing components, Ford Racing cylinder heads, Stage 3 cams, and a Ford Racing intake. Long tube headers help the engine breathe and deliver a thunderous exhaust note, while a heavy-duty 3-core aluminum radiator ensures reliable cooling-even under aggressive driving.
Power is channeled through a Spec 2+ clutch and 3.73 rear gears, giving the car sharp response and relentless pull. The stance and handling are enhanced with Steeda lowering springs-drawing from the company's respected legacy in Ford performance tuning. Founded in 1988, Steeda was at the forefront of Mustang aftermarket development during the early S197 era, and their parts were known for balancing street usability with track-ready capability. Their involvement gives this build credibility, quality, and purpose.
Finished with the first-year S197's iconic retro-modern styling and the refined touches of the Deluxe trim, this Mustang offers the perfect blend of heritage, innovation, and power. For the enthusiast who wants more than just nostalgia-who wants something truly engaging to drive-this Mustang delivers on every front.
