There comes a time in every young Ford boy’s life where he must transition into a Ford man; after all, his daddy drove a Ford, and his Daddy’s daddy drove a Ford and come hell or high water, he’s buying a Ford. And while many will choose a path of civility via a tried and true Ford pickup truck, others will find the idea of being behind the wheel of something with such a vocational pedigree to be far too pedestrian and opt for everyone’s favorite pedestrian plow, the Ford Mustang.

Yes, with a four hundred and thirty five horsepower Coyote five liter V8 under the command of your right foot and transmitted through six Chinese sourced gears, America’s original pony car is the running riot even the most hedonistic among us could appreciate. From the outside the Mustang’s svelte long hood and short deck profile screams performance while scalloped sides and tattletale turn signals in the hood scoops hearken back to the good old days and are sure to inspire long winded stories from your baby boomer dad about Mustangs of yore. Of course, it’s 2019 and the only history your into is the history you’ll be making with your five point oh, and whether or not your IG handle, MustangLover69 will fit on the quarter window.

Truly nothing supplies a dopamine hit quite like Instagram likes and a sick nasty exit from your local Cars & Coffee, and what better instrument to accomplish both with than a Mustang? From the moment you take the keys, your online modification journey begins, taking your Mustang from stock to not before the world’s eyes, attracting literally dozens of loyal followers before convincing yourself you deserve that supercharger sponsorship enough to drop a DM in Whipple’s inbox and eagerly await them to leave you on read.

Of course, good things come to those who wait, and given enough time, you might find yourself the proud owner of a cammed and boosted screamer rolling on bigs and littles with E85 coursing through its veins that will do the quarter in “it’s all stalk bruh, wait and find out” as you proudly talk mustang chassis codes and get triggered by those ecoboost pheasants. Or maybe you’ll slam it and kiss speed bumps with enough camber to have the contact patch of bicycle tires, but hey, at least that “ruined” decal looks sick on the bottom of the windshield as you find yourself roasted alive on LMM. The point, Ford Boy? Mustangs are the Ford Man’s lego, a blank canvas to be built with your tasteful or tasteless vision. Which is which? You’re on IG, figure it out.

To do that though, you’ll need a Mustang, and what better one to buy than this fine 2016 GT in fiery torch red with a gloss black painted roof? As an added bonus you’ll find this GT already has a few mods to get you started to the tune of custom 20-inch wheels and an aftermarket exhaust that offers just enough growl to add a bit more fun without ruining your relationship with your neighbors - yet. With only 21,300 miles and a stock powertrain, this pony is nearly new and ready to gallop for $27k. Send us message and start your journey down the Mustang owner rabbit hole, which often ends in a Corvette Z06, or a crowd. Whichever comes first.
