2004 Ford Mustang Facts

Overview

• MustangSpecs lists 142,312 Mustangs for 2004 when V6, GT, Mach 1, and Cobra body/model splits are added together.

Production Breakout

MustangSpecs' page summary reports 141,907 units, while its detailed body/series table reports rows totaling 142,312. The table is internally consistent, so it leads here; both reported totals remain visible pending an underlying Ford production record.

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 2004 Mustang, explicitly stated by the page as unchanged from 2003.
• Reported curb weights by trim, also unchanged from 2003: V6 Coupe 3,069 lb; V6 Convertible 3,208 lb; GT Coupe 3,241 lb; GT Convertible 3,379 lb; Mach 1 3,465 lb; Cobra Coupe 3,655 lb; Cobra Convertible 3,780 lb.

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.
• 2004 was the final year of Mustang production at Dearborn Assembly; the S197 moved Mustang production to Flat Rock.
• The 40th Anniversary package was an option on V6 and GT models, while every 2004 Mustang carried anniversary fender badging.
• Mystichrome Cobras are a major 2004 collector subplot because the color-shifting paint and interior trim were unique to a small Cobra run.
• The 2004 model year closed the New Edge and SN95 chapter before the retro S197 Mustang arrived for 2005.
• Mystichrome Cobras used color-shifting paint and matching interior accents, making them some of the most visually distinctive Terminator-era cars.
• The 40th Anniversary badging gave even ordinary 2004 Mustangs a milestone-year marker, but Cobra, Mach 1, and special paint cars drive most collector attention.
