1999
marked Mustang's 35th anniversary, and Mustang got a fresh new look.
Though still based on the Fox platform, the smooth lines from 1994-1998
were replaced with an edgier design. The grille corral reappeared for the
first time since 1973. Both V-6 and GT Mustangs wore "35th Anniversary"
fender badges.
Although every Standard and GT had the 35th Anniversary
fender badges, only 4,628 GTs were 35th Anniversary Limited Edition
models. There were 2318 coupes and 2310 convertibles. There were 515 that
came in white, 1259 in silver, 1299 in black, and 1555 in Performance Red,
which was only available on this limited edition. These Limited Edition
GTs had a raised hood scoop with a black stripe which ran from the scoop
down the front of the hood, extended side scoops, a wing-like spoiler, and
a black honeycomb insert in the decklid. Visit

The 1999 SVT Cobras had round foglamps and a small
rear-facing hood scoop near the front of the hood. They were otherwise
identical to 1999 Mustang GTs, even with "MUSTANG" in the rear bumper and
GT seats. The '99 snakes did not have the corral around the grille pony.
Though Ford advertised 320-hp for the '99 Cobras, they really only made
305. All of the cars received a new intake manifold, catback exhaust, and
computer calibration to produce the as-advertised 320 hp.
