2002 Ford Mustang Facts

Overview

• MustangSpecs' detailed body/trim table accounts for 142,747 Mustangs for 2002.
• The U.S. lineup focused on V6 and GT models; no U.S.-market SVT Cobra was offered, though a 100-unit Cobra convertible run was built for the Australian market.
• The 260-hp 4.6L GT remained the mainstream performance model.

Production Breakout

MustangSpecs is internally inconsistent: its overview and production prose report 142,647, describing this figure as sales, while its detailed body/trim table sums to 142,747. The 100-unit difference exactly matches the page's separately documented Australian-export SVT Cobra convertible run, which is consistent with (though not explicitly confirmed by the source as) the reconciling explanation. The table below follows the internally reconciling 142,747 split.

Engines & Power

Specifications

• MustangSpecs' own Dimensions & Weight table reports 183.2-inch length, 73.1-inch width, 53.1-inch height, and a 101.3-inch wheelbase for the 2002 Mustang, unchanged from 2001.
• Reported curb weights by trim: V6 Coupe 3,069 lb; V6 Convertible 3,211 lb; GT Coupe 3,237 lb; GT Convertible 3,400 lb, unchanged from 2001's corresponding trims. No Cobra weight is published since it was not a U.S.-market offering for 2002.

Options & Packages

Counts distinguish verified production records, attributed reports, disputed figures, announced limits, and figures that do not survive in available records.

Buyer Identification

• Use the 17-character VIN, door certification label, buck tag when available, window sticker, and build sheet. For SN95 and New Edge cars, VIN/body codes separate coupe/convertible and engine family, while options and special packages usually require the window sticker or SVT certificate.
• Verify Cobra, Cobra R, Bullitt, Mach 1, 35th/40th Anniversary, Spring Feature, Centennial, and Roush/Saleen/Steeda claims by matching the VIN, model code, engine, brakes, wheels, interior, exterior parts, serialized certificate, and package-specific color or trim.

Special & Tuner Models

Additional Notes

• SN95 and New Edge color verification should combine the door label, window sticker, and special-model records: Mystic and Mystichrome Cobras, Atlantic Blue and Zinc Yellow New Edge cars, Bullitt Dark Highland Green, Mach 1 stripe/interior combinations, and SVT certificates are where rare combinations usually show up.
• 2002 is a calm year before the 2003 Terminator Cobra and Mach 1 dramatically raised New Edge performance interest.
• The U.S. SVT Cobra pause made 2002 a quieter New Edge year while Ford prepared the supercharged 2003 Cobra.
• The 2002 lineup helps shoppers because it separates normal V6 and GT New Edge ownership from the specialty-model excitement on either side.
• Because production breakouts are harder to source for 2002, documented original options and condition often tell a clearer story than headline package names.
