2007 Ford Roush Mustang 427R

In the drag racing world, he was probably best known for the infamous championship winning “Tijuana Taxi” Pro Stock four-door Maverick. Today of course, he’s a leading NASCAR team owner and Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee. Jack Roush has been intimately tied with Ford as an engineer and racer for decades. Having his concepts, ideas, plus his signature on any car makes it one to have. And this beautiful example has logged just 21,000 miles. The number 427 is also been part of the Ford performance legacy as one of Ford’s most powerful and legendary engines. With the Roush Mustang 427R, the number stands for nothing less than the horsepower — about as down-to-business as you can get. The 4.6L V8 features the intercooled ROUSHcharger system that yields the magic 427 horsepower figure, as well as 391 lb/ft of very usable torque. The impressive power comes via a Roush-engineered ECM calibration, which has been specifically tuned to work in harmony with the Roush exhaust system. As in some of the world’s finest performance machines, the engine builder’s signature appears on a plaque in the engine compartment. The 427R is a comprehensive performance and appearance package. It’s easy to spot with a four-piece aerobody kit including a unique front fascia, front spoiler, hood scoop, and rear wing, Roush 18-inch cast chrome wheels, high-performance tires, and special 427R striping. A 2007 Mustang GT fortified by Roush Performance makes a formidable — and very enjoyable — combination.
