Basic information and history

The Ford Mustang Convertible, model year 2000 , belongs to the so-called New Edge generation that was introduced in 1999. The shape was sharpened with more pronounced lines, the chassis was updated and the convertible model received reinforcements in the undercarriage for increased torsional rigidity. This is a classic American rear-wheel drive experience, with MacPherson struts at the front and a rigid rear axle, which appeals to enthusiasts for its robust mechanics and direct character.

This Mustang came to Sweden as moving goods from the USA in 2004. The car has reportedly had several owners in Sweden and has been parked most winters. The current odometer reading is 175,464 km, and the seller guarantees the odometer reading. Documentation is available from the 2019 inspection at 129,330 km up until today. The car was inspected without any complaints on 2025-05-06, and has since been driven approximately 220 km. Since the last service on 2024-09-26, the car has been driven approximately 450 km.

The seller states that the car is rust-free and that everything works. It has been stored under a canopy in a dry barn during the winter and driven sparingly during the summer. The original instruction manual is still in its original case.
