Project Black Beauty: Reviving a Forgotten Mustang GT

The Forgotten Mustangs

New Edge Mustang GTs, produced from 1999 to 2004, are often overlooked as potential project cars and modification candidates. Despite being abundant and affordable, they are frequently passed over in favor of more exotic or desirable models. However, the New Edge Mustang GT is a capable and powerful car that deserves attention and respect.

The New Edge Mustang GT was introduced in 1999 and was available in both coupe and convertible body styles. It featured a number of updates, including a new front fascia, improved performance cylinder heads, and a number of aftermarket performance parts. Despite these updates, the car never gained the same level of popularity as its predecessors, the Fox-body Mustangs.

One of the main reasons for the New Edge Mustang GT’s lack of popularity is the introduction of the S197 platform in 2005. The S197 platform brought a number of changes, including a new engine, transmission, and suspension system. The S197 Mustangs were also more powerful and had improved handling, which made them more desirable to many enthusiasts.

However, the New Edge Mustang GT still has its fans and is often praised for its handling and performance. It is also relatively affordable, making it an attractive option for those looking to purchase a high-performance car.

The Car in Question

Project Black Beauty is a 2002 Ford Mustang GT that has been sitting in a garage for over a decade. The car was purchased by KJ Jones’ wife, Crystal, in 2002 and was driven regularly for a few years before being parked and used very little. The car had a number of modifications, including a ProCharger P-1SC supercharger and a number of aftermarket performance parts.

The car’s original engine was a 4.6-liter Two-Valve engine that produced 383 horsepower. The engine was supercharged with a ProCharger P-1SC, which increased the horsepower to 383. The car also featured a number of other modifications, including a Trick Flow top-halfed engine and a Ford Racing Aluminator 4.6-liter Two-Valve engine.

The car was also equipped with a number of other performance parts, including a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission, a dual-disc clutch, and a Maximum Motorsports/QA1 suspension hybrid.

The Plan

The plan for Project Black Beauty is to revitalize the car and use it as a true sports cruiser. The car will be set up to handle both on-road and off-road driving, and will be equipped with a number of performance parts to improve its handling and acceleration.

The car will be equipped with a number of new components, including a new engine, transmission, and suspension system. The engine will be a 4.6-liter Two-Valve engine that has been upgraded with a number of performance parts, including a Trick Flow top-halfed engine and a Ford Racing Aluminator 4.6-liter Two-Valve engine.

The transmission will be a Tremec T-56 six-speed manual transmission, and the suspension system will be a Maximum Motorsports/QA1 suspension hybrid. The car will also be equipped with a number of other performance parts, including a dual-disc clutch and a number of aftermarket performance parts.

The Goal

The goal for Project Black Beauty is to have the car ready for the HOT ROD Power Tour West in 2025. The car will be driven regularly and will be used as a true sports cruiser. The plan is to revitalize the car and use it as a daily driver, rather than just a show car.
