Body Styles (compare years, go back to 1997 summary information)
A larger fan and radiator for better cooling required a bigger grille opening in the 1997 Mustang. The passive anti-theft system (PATS) that was used on the 1996 GT and Cobra was also installed on all models. The automatic transmission had a thicker shifter. The GT had new 17 inch wheels with a gray metallic center. Aztec Gold, Autumn Orange, and Pacific Green replaced Bright Tangerine and Mystic as exterior paint options.

Mustang GT
The 1997 Mustang GT came with 16 inch, star 5-spoke cast aluminum wheels (upgradeable to 17 inch 5-open-spoke aluminum wheels); upgraded axle; and the 215hp 4.6L V8 engine.
SVT Cobra
The 1997 SVT Cobra saw only a couple of changes over the 1996 model. The grille opening was enlarged and a new color, Pacific Green, was offered. Optional equipment continued to be limited to just the Preferred Equipment Package (Mach 460 sound system and leather seats) and the rear decklid spoiler. See our 1997 SVT Cobra Data Explorer for more information.
Saleen Mustang
The 1997 Saleen Mustang continued to come in four flavors. The S-281 SOHC built from the 4.6L Mustang GT, a higher output S-281 DOHC built from the 5.8L Mustang Cobra, a S-351 version with a 5.8L V8, and a few 500hp supercharged 5.8L Saleen SR models. The S-351 model could be ordered with optional wider body panels, a carbon fiber hood, and a double rear decklid spoiler. See our 1997 Saleen Data Explorer for more information.
Roush Mustang
The 1997 Roush Mustang continued its tradition of offering the primarily appearance upgraded Stage 1; the appearance and handling improved Stage 2; and the appearance, handling, and engine upgraded Stage 3. In 1997 Roush Performance started to perform the modifications themselves rather than only dealers and authorized third parties.
