Ford
Mustang
The original pony car, from turbo four to supercharged V8.
The Mustang is still the most fun you can have in a Ford. It comes as a fastback or convertible, with a turbocharged four, a 5.0L V8, or the track-focused Dark Horse.
Northern Arizona has some of the best driving roads in the state, from Highway 89A over Mingus Mountain to the run down to Sedona. A Mustang makes the most of them.
I sell new and used Mustangs in Dewey, near Prescott, to buyers from all over Arizona. Don’t see the exact one you want? Text me anyway. I’ll tell you what’s available and what your options are.
