Ford's latest-gen Mustang is mostly getting nothing but love from enthusiasts, and for a very good reason: it's the only muscle car still in production. Dodge dropped the Challenger in December, about the same time as the Chevy Camaro went away, thus leaving the Blue Oval to dominate this class.
Interested parties must cough out more than 30k to drive home in the new Mustang. With its 2.3L four-pot, the base EcoBoost starts at $30,920, excluding destination and dealer fees. The most affordable V8-powered model, the GT, has an MSRP of $42,710, and the current range-topper, the Dark Horse, with its 500 hp V8, commands at least $60k.
Mind you, one does not have to pay that much to enjoy a nice V8-powered ‘Stang, so long as they can live with an older model. Case in point, meet one special 2000 Ford Mustang GT. Well, it started life as a GT, as it now hides an LS3 V8 under the hood, with forced induction, which can run on E85. When it does, it is said to have 440 hp at the wheels and 425 lb-ft (576 Nm) of torque on ten psi of boost, delivered to the rear axle through an auto 'box.
This muscle car was repainted blue. It has a black interior upgraded with a high-end stereo system, complete with a subwoofer, and it is very fresh no matter where you look. The shininess is visible on the outside, in the cockpit, and under the hood. The 24-year-old Ford Mustang GT in question is said to have only 521 miles (838 km) on the clock, and it looks just as good as it did back in the day, if not even better, thanks to the mods.
Do you feel like you've seen it before? Well, you are certainly not wrong, as we wrote about it right before the Winter Holidays in 2023. Back then, the vendor was asking $27,900 for it. Nevertheless, since the vehicle failed to change hands for the sum mentioned above, it has become even more affordable. The Garage Kept Motors listing, which you can access here, reveals that you can drive it home if you're willing to pay $24,900, or $3,000 less than before.
We don't know about you, but an LS-powered ‘Stang that looks this good and has plenty of oomph probably won't stay on the used car market that long, especially since it costs less than a new Ford Bronco Sport. The crossover has an MSRP of $31,320, and realistically speaking, a nice copy will set you back for anywhere between $35k and $40k. So, if you had to choose, would this Mustang win your heart, or would you rather get something else instead?
