Basic Information and History

With the S197, the Ford Mustang took a step back to its roots. The design language drew clear inspiration from the fastback models of the late sixties, while the platform was entirely new and significantly stiffer than its predecessor's. Under the hood of the GT sits the 4.6-litre V8 from the Modular family with three valves per cylinder, a refined naturally aspirated engine that delivers its torque low and broad, which gave the model a substantial shift in reputation with the press when it was released.

This example is a 2006 Ford Mustang GT Coupé that is imported from the USA and thus not originally sold in Sweden. The odometer reading is 59,950 km, and the seller states that it can be warranted. The car has had four owners in total. The vehicle has no loans against it and no deductible VAT applies.

The car is in drivable condition as it stands and has passed inspection, most recently carried out on 2025-07-17. The seller emphasizes that there has been no remark on the inspection during the years the car has been in their ownership.

The car was brought into Sweden from the USA in 2010 with a so-called salvage title. The current owner has had the car checked at Dekra in Borlänge by a specialist in American cars, who states that there are no traces of repairs in the chassis.

The car is in original condition except for the 20-inch Shelby split-spoke wheels and a replaced stereo system. The car also comes with a base box intended for installation in the trunk, the original radio for those who wish to restore the interior to factory specification, as well as a rear muffler from Pypes Performance Exhaust that gives the V8 engine a deeper sound.

Service History

The car is fully serviced, but there are no receipts or other documentation to substantiate the service history. The seller states that they have personally carried out oil and filter changes at intervals of about 2,000 km during their period of ownership. The most recent inspection was carried out on 2025-07-17, and the car passed without remarks during the years the seller has owned it.

Summary

A Ford Mustang GT from the first S197 model year, imported from the USA with a salvage title, having covered 60,050 km with a guaranteed odometer reading. The car is consistently described as well-maintained, with the drivetrain and brakes receiving the highest ratings from the seller, and it passed inspection in July 2025.

The modifications are limited to wheels and audio system, and since both the original radio and a deeper-sounding muffler are included, there is room to steer the character towards either a more original feel or a louder one. An accessible option for anyone seeking an American V8 coupé with a clear connection to the Mustang's classic design language.
