2004 FORD MUSTANG GT CONVERTIBLE CONCEPT

**THIS VEHICLE HAS NO RESERVE AND WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER**

The Mustang GT convertible concept car, which debuted at the North American Auto Show in January 2003, signaled a new direction for the 2005 Mustang. After its debut, this car travelled to more than 50 auto shows around the world. The Redline Red Metallic car features a distinct "showbar" with a rim of billet-aluminum trim picking up where the instrument panel and console trim leave off. This car started out with a significantly modified Ford Thunderbird rear-wheel-drive architecture. The platform was sectioned to achieve the proper proportion. The front-end geometry is all original. It is powered by a 3.9-liter V8 engine mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The 20-inch wheels and 13.8-inch vented and cross-drilled Brembo disc brakes are pushed out to the corners and anchor the design to the road. A sharp accent line runs the length of the body just above the rocker panel and culminates in a "C-scoop" design behind the door cutline to create an intentional visual link with the C-pillar design. The Mustang GT convertible's interior is awash in supple red and charcoal leather, accented with billet-aluminum hardware that gives an appearance that is robust and highly technical. The modern interior design pays homage to another era in Mustang history, while the use of high-quality materials, precision craftsmanship and technical innovations point to Mustangs to come. Upon opening the door, both driver and passenger will see the Ford logo proudly displayed on a billet-aluminum sill panels. The interior includes perforated red leather surfaces on the seat backs and steering wheel, as well as a billet-aluminum shifter, 4-point racing-style seat belts and unique instrument gauges that look like a fine watch with its face removed. Four-point harnesses brace the occupants for what they see next. The cluster instrumentation is unique, but features a familiar, round optical look. Rather than using needle pointers, the gauges feature a small, gear-driven, trolley scored with indicator lines that rides around the inside of the bezel matching rpm and groundspeed. **NOT STREET LEGAL, SOLD ON BILL OF SALE ONLY** **PLEASE NOTE THIS LOT WILL NEED TO BE COLLECTED FROM SCOTTSDALE, AZ**
