 Mustang GT

The 1996 Mustang GT was available as a 2-door coupe or convertible. The 1996 Mustang GT received a single wing spoiler, fog lamps in the lower front valance and the new 215hp, 4.6L, single-overhead cam, V8 engine.

The 1996 SVT Cobra came with an all new engine. The hand built 4.6L 32-valve double overhead cam V8. A new, Cobra exclusive, color called Mystic was offered which color shifted from blue to purple to green and black. It was an $815 option. Other exterior colors continued to be limited to red, black, and white. See our 1996 SVT Cobra Data Explorer for more information.

 Saleen Mustang

The 1996 Saleen Mustang came in four flavors. The S-281 SOHC built from the 4.6L Mustang GT provided most of the conversions. A higher output S-281 DOHC built from the 5.8L Mustang Cobra was available. An S-351 version with a large 5.8L V8. And finally a couple of 500hp supercharged 5.8L Saleen SR models were built for racing. See our 1996 Saleen Data Explorer for more information.

The 1996 Roush Mustang came in three levels: the appearance modified Stage 1, the handling improved Stage 2, and the engine upgraded Stage 3. The 1996 Roush Mustang parts came from Roush Performance but installed by qualified dealers and third parties. There was also an optional Ford GT40 header upgrade available for the Stage 3.

 Boss Shinoda
|
The 1996 Boss Shinoda was built by Shinoda Performance Vehicles (SPV). They were placed on the GT and Cobras and came in two levels. Level 1 (Gen I) was a graphics package, Budnick wheels, and a body package (front spoiler, wheel flares and rear "super" spoiler.) The Level 2 (Gen II) added some performance upgrades such as the Shinoda wheels and suspension modifications. As with other companies making modifications to cars right from the Ford factory, all the SPV items could be ordered and placed on any Mustang. SPV Factory modifications included a dash plaque and Shinoda serial number. These were generally built 1994-98, but I have seen SPV dash plaques on later cars as well.
