2000 Ford Mustang
Overview
The 2000 Mustang is essentially carryover
from the 1999 model year. There were no model Since the Mustang
made its debut at the New York Worlds Fair in 1964, Ford has continued
to combine the spirit of the original vehicle with features that
delight current customers.
Mustang has remained the sales leader in its segment for the past
13 years. More than 6.9 million vehicles have been sold since this
American legend first rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn,
Mich.
The 2000 Mustang is offered in both coupe and convertible body
styles, and drivers can enjoy the vehicle in three new colors: Performance
Red, first seen on the 1999 35th anniversary model, as
well as Tropic Green and Sunburst Gold.
New for 2000 is a child safety-seat anchoring system as a standard
item on both the coupe and convertible. The system, which meets
new Federal requirements, features two permanent child safety-seat
tether anchors in the back seat.
Also available for 2000 are new, 16-inch wheels and tires offered
as an option on the V-6 appearance package. In addition to giving
the V-6 a sportier look, the new wheels and tires offer improved
handling. The 2000 Mustang V-6 also features a tri-color-bar emblem
on the sides of the front fenders, while Mustang GT features a "GT"
emblem.
Mustang offers an optional all-speed traction control system designed
to help limit wheel spin and stabilize steering on slippery surfaces.
The system uses ABS sensors to detect excess drive-wheel spin. It
helps reduce wheel slippage by retarding ignition timing, controlling
fuel flow reduction and cylinder cutoff in conjunction with individual
brake application. The driver can de-activate the system with a
console-mounted on/off switch.
The exterior design harkens back to the concept of the original
pony car, with styling cues like the classic long hood with a short
rear deck and the vehicles signature tri-bar taillamps. Mustang
enthusiasts appreciate updated design of the rear spoiler, honeycomb
grille textures, and side character lines.
"Throughout its history, Mustangs distinct design and strong
performance have made driving it fun and exciting," says Jim
OConnor, president of Ford Division and vice president of Ford
Motor Company. "With contemporary styling that builds on the
original concept and continued performance improvements, its no
wonder the vehicle remains a leader in its segment."
Mustang boasted sales of 418,812 its first year on the market,
and the millionth vehicle was produced in Dearborn, Michigan in
1966. Since then, the all-American sports car has become one of
the legendary automotive brands.
Ford did have a few suprises waiting for eager buyers. Two very
interesting offerings was a road race inspired SVT Cobra
R Mustang and a Mustang FR500.
