Description
The Atelier des 1000 is pleased to offer for sale this 2005 Ford Mustang V6 in an elegant light-blue configuration paired with a black cloth interior.
Presented in 2005, the fifth-generation Mustang marks Ford’s return to a styling directly inspired by 1960s models.
With its muscular wings, wide grille and distinctive profile, the S197 generation immediately found success and helped revive the image of the legendary American pony car.
The example we offer is an American import that arrived in France in 2014. Having graced French soil for more than ten years, this Mustang benefits today from a well-documented maintenance history and a substantial file of invoices totaling nearly €10, 000, detailing its upkeep over the years.
Under the hood sits the 4. 0-litre Cologne V6 developing 210 horsepower. Also used on several Ford models such as the Ranger and Explorer, this engine has earned a solid reputation for its ruggedness and easy maintenance, cheaper to service than its V8 counterpart.
Flexible at low revs, usable over a wide range and particularly pleasant on long journeys, it fits perfectly with the Grand Tourisme philosophy of this Mustang. Its generous torque allows for relaxed driving while its distinctive exhaust note constantly recalls the model’s American DNA.
Mechanically, the car has benefited from regular maintenance over the years.
Recent works include, notably:
- Replacement of the stabiliser bar end links in 2024
- Replacement of the brake discs
- Replacement of the brake pads
- Replacement of the brake fluid in 2025
The car is also fitted with a Borla exhaust, a well-known reference among Mustang enthusiasts, delivering a more pronounced sound while maintaining excellent daily usability.
The automatic gearbox operates perfectly, delivering smooth, plateau-free gear changes.
The running gear feels healthy and braking benefits from the recent work carried out. All told, it provides a pleasant, comfortable drive, true to the spirit of the American coupés of this generation.
The bodywork presents well in this light-blue finish that perfectly complements the S197’s neo-retro lines. The front bumper currently shows a few cosmetic defects, but its repaint is included in the sale price.
The cabin is generally in good condition. The black cloth seats, trims and instrumentation present well and provide a straightforward, comfortable and functional driving environment.
This V6 Mustang will appeal to American coupe enthusiasts seeking a car with iconic styling, a solid service history and an excellent balance of driving pleasure, reliability and running costs.
Given the condition and specification of this car, we are asking €16, 490. Trade-in and part-exchange considered. MOT: valid. Delivery possible anywhere in Europe. Warranty available up to 36 months. French registration.
