2003 Ford Mustang

Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is proud to present this 2003 Ford Mustang Roush Stage 3 Convertible. The model that kicked off the 'pony car' craze, the Ford Mustang is a cherished piece of American automotive history. In spite of the sharp looks, impressive performance, and wonderful exhaust tone with just a smidgen of supercharger whine mixed in, the new Roush 380R comes standard with one major annoyance-people want to look at it and talk about it. The 380R attracts attention and conversation. But heck, that's why we drive Mustangs in the first place. The 380R is hard to miss, especially when it's decked out in Dark Shadow Gray Metallic. The car oozes eyeball appeal, sitting just over the Roush wheels and looking sleek and fast even at idle, Stage 3 front fascia, and rear spoiler. With approximately 20 more horsepower than last year's 360R, the updated '03 Roush Mustang comes close to matching the '03 Cobra in terms of power and torque. The feel from the driver seat is totally different, however, with the 380R's two-valve 4.6-liter engine making the most out of its power at the upper ranges of the rpm band. The plaque in front of the shifter tells the tale: 379 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque, thanks to the Roush-engineered Roots supercharger that sits on top of the 4.6. Also used in Roush's '03 Stage 3 model, the supercharged engine comes with an aluminum flywheel, Roush-certified OBD-II calibration, and a Roush-designed fuel system. Looking much like an old Hurst stick, the Roush Vintage Shifter repositions the handle farther back for more of a road-race feel. If you're accustomed to driving a manual-shift late-model Mustang, the Roush Shifter will feel a bit strange at first. However, if you're used to an old Hurst in a '66 Mustang, the Roush version will feel familiar. Even the knob is vintage-style, with a five-speed pattern instead of four-speed. Options on this 2003 Ford Mustang Roush Stage 3 Convertible include: Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio, Anti-Lock Brakes, Anti-Theft System, CD Player, Power Convertible Top, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Locks Power Mirrors, Power Seats, Power Mirrors, Cruise Control, Custom Wheels, Driver Airbag, Leather Interior, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, and Tilt-Steering Wheel.

For the money, you get a Roush-engineered Mustang with Roush supercharged power. The stares come at no extra charge.
