2004 Mustang Overview
The Mustang underwent minor changes for 2004. 2004 was the Mustang's 40th anniversary, and as such, all models recieved a "40th Anniversary" badge on the fenders. The base model recieved a new 3.9L V6 midway through the year which offered no increase in power, weight, or fuel economy. Two new colors, Competition Orange and Screaming Yellow, were added to the Mustang lineup.
The GT went unchanged for 2004, but a new package called the 40th Anniversary Edition was offered on the base and GT models. A new color, Crimson Red, was offered only on the 40th Anniversary Edition. The only other colors offered were Black and Oxford White. 40th Anniversary Edition models also came with premium wheels, body-color fold in mirrors, "40th Anniversary" floormats, and beige stripes on the trunk, hood, and sides. They also came with an interior upgrade package which included larger headrests and silver-colored interior trim. Only 5700 of the 40th Anniversary Edition Mustangs were made.
The Mach 1 was offered unaltered in 2004. Even fewer were made than in 2003. The Cobra was also offered again in 2004 with no significant changes. The lone exception was the addition of a new color to the Cobra's options list called MystiChrome. This color-changing paint was similar to the Mystic paint offered on Cobras in 1996. MysticChrome offered even better color distinction than the original, and shifted from green to blue to purple to black. The MystiChrome Cobras also featured color-changing leather seats and steering wheels. Only 1010 MysticChrome Cobras were ever produced, and the color was a $3650 option.
