PHOENIX RISING - 1999 MUSTANG GT

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

1999 BEING THE LAST TIME CHROME YELLOW EVER APPEARED.

This is my 1999 Mustang GT Convertible. Ford Paint code BZ, Chrome Yellow. Some interesting facts about this color. Ford used Chrome Yellow on 98 and 99 Mustangs only. 1999 being the last time Chrome Yellow ever appeared. It also was the last year for the original SN95 body style and the first year for the New Edge design. 6,811 total Mustangs were painted Chrome Yellow in 1999 with 1,464 of those being a GT convertible like mine. Ford also used the paint Code BZ on Canary Yellow 1993 to 1995 which is a different shade. The 1999 model was the first year to feature the new PI manifold cylinder heads, adding 35 horsepower to the 32 Valve 4.6 V8. Stock performance numbers of 260 H.P. @ 5,025 RPM with 302 Ft LB of torque. Mine has an automatic transmission with 308 rear end gears. I believe it is all stock with 127,000 miles. My plan is to do some upgrades soon which include a K&N cold air intake, larger throttle body, and computer performances tune. I also want to tint the glass. I just recently purchased this car so it’s still a work in progress.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

anniversary. The New Edge would be the last body style Mustang to be built in Ford’s legendary River Rouge Complex where it began in 1964 ½. I enjoy cruising and showing my Mustang with my wife Sheila, who has her own New Edge Convertible. We have many friends and other Pony Car enthusiasts in our car clubs.

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!

Although 1999 was still a 4th Generation Mustang, Ford Code was SN95. In 99 the smooth lines of the previse 5 years were replaced with a “new edgier” design. The term New Edge was created. Just in time for the Mustangs 35th
