Inspiration for a Dream Come True

From the first glitter of gold in the crystal clear rivers tumbling out of the Sierra Nevada, California has held the promise of Utopia, and that hope hasn’t faltered for the last 150 years. For millions of Midwesterners forced underground through the winter, for those looking for a new, richly textured, sun-lit life, California is still the dream—a place where you can carve your niche, find kindred spirits, where, when reality gets a little too harsh, you can head for the beach, the mountains or the desert, and recharge your mental battery.

The original 1964 Ford Mustang defined the promise of a generation and that image was renewed with the introduction of the 2005 Mustang. For millions of young drivers, the Mustang was the first car, the first leap into adulthood, the wheels that carried millions to adventures in life. The Mustang is still the dream, an accessible ticket to sheer joy. You spin the ignition, the motor sings, you’re alive, life is good, all things are possible and your own battery is recharged.

There’s nothing like driving an agile convertible, slipping into a fast stream of traffic, dancing through an intricate freeway interchange with perfect balance and finesse or the slalom of a mountain road with unimaginable vistas exposed with each sweeping curve of granite. We all know a good drive creates a state of mind, creates a reality of what we really are in our dreams, sets the rhythm of what we want our lives to be.

Where Dreams Become Reality

Close your eyes and dream of the perfect look for a California convertible that will turn heads from Malibu up through Big Sur and into the redwoods. Red, not just plain Red, but a rich Stallion Red Metallic.

Taking on the aspect of a sports roadster, the California Dream features a dramatic tonneau cover that converts the Mustang into the perfect two seater. Our dream only has room for one other person; our dreamer travels light; the journey is intimate.

Dramatic 20 inch alloy wheels, with their low-profile, directional tires complement the modern styling, and empower the Mustang with an aggressive stance. Inside, the cockpit of the Mustang California Dream greets the driver and passenger with the sensual smell and feel of glove soft leather, accented with the vibrant colors and brushed aluminum textures that mirror the theme established on the exterior.

This dream couldn’t be complete without an audio upgrade to provide a soundtrack as compelling as the choreography of the Mustang’s performance. Built into the tonneau behind the headrests, the speakers provide the perfect complement to the other components that are installed throughout the Mustang.

Experience The Thrill of Ford Total Performance

Our 2005 Mustang convertible is powered by a vibrant 4.6-liter V-8 coupled to a five-speed manual transmission, a dream in itself. But for a California Dream, the Mustang has the extra boost of a supercharger and intercooler for the ultimate surge onto the maze of freeways or the ascent though mountain passes. The horsepower and torque are amplified, literately and figuratively, by a low-restriction cat-back system with dual exhausts that emit a riveting, throaty tone.

Enhancing the driving experience is a precise shifter that provides the thrill of smooth transmission shifts. The highlight of this dream is winding the powerful engine to its redline, shifting to the next gear and preparing for the gear change with anticipation. Who says the sensation of the falling dream is the height of adrenaline rush? Obviously someone who hasn’t experienced a drive in the Mustang California Dream.

The Mustang California Dream features a fully race ready suspension that creates an organic, unshakable feel for the road. The suspension is designed to make short work of the twists and turns of the 18 Mile Drive near Carmel, or on the track at Laguna Seca. Providing the whoa for our chrome pony is a big brake upgrade that features 8 piston calipers matched with slotted rotors, while the large 20 inch alloy wheels mounted on low profile tires insure plenty of contact patch with the pavement.

Dreaming of a Name

Living life under warm, sunny skies and balmy, crystal clear nights is a dream that many have. The Mustang California Dream was designed for those who live the dream, and those who dream about living it. What better name for the Mustang GT Convertible, the affordable, eminently attainable sports car that actually enables people of all ages to make the dream come true.




Living the Dream

The concept behind the Mustang California Dream is a vehicle that is both accessible and exotic, all at the same time. Designed to cruise Rodeo Drive or Pacific Coast Highway with the same grace and aplomb that it conquers the Sierra and Cascade mountains, to hurtle up I-5 with the same sure handling and power required by the curves of Big Sur, to crest the steep grades of San Francisco or the Laurel Grade with equal ease. This dream is shared by men and women, by the young and the not-as-young; it’s universal but made unique by everyone who has ever had the desire of driving a vehicle that can provide the ultimate dream. That vehicle is the Mustang California Dream.
