2003 Ford Mustang

Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer This Excellent 2003 Ford Mustang Roush Boyd Coddington California Roadster, a highly documented and exceptionally rare collaboration that blends the craftsmanship of Roush Performance with the unmistakable styling influence of street rod legend Boyd Coddington. Finished in a striking two-tone Black and Silver color scheme over a matching Black and Silver leather interior, this California Roadster is car #12 of just 58 Boyd Coddington California Roadsters built, making it one of the most exclusive New Edge Mustangs produced in 2003. Showing just 43,000 original miles, this example remains clean, stock, and beautifully preserved. According to the original documentation included with the car, the base 2003 Mustang GT Convertible carried an MSRP of $29,255.30, while the Roush Boyd Coddington California Roadster Package added $11,942.00. With optional equipment including Roush aluminum pedals, Roush short throw shifter, and the Magna Pac exhaust system, plus transportation, total Roush MSRP brought the combined sticker to $42,812.00-an enormous premium over a standard GT and clear proof of its specialty status when new. Each car was serialized, and this example carries Roush serial number 8571, further supporting its authenticity and collectibility. Powering this limited-production Mustang is the factory 4.6-liter SOHC V8 backed by a 5-speed manual transmission equipped with the Roush-installed short throw shifter. This is a naturally aspirated, non-supercharged example, which appeals strongly to collectors seeking originality and factory-correct configuration. The engine and transmission perform exactly as they should, delivering a responsive, analog driving experience that defines the era. The Magna Pac exhaust system provides a deep, authoritative V8 tone that perfectly complements the car's sporty character without overpowering the refined presentation. Visually, the Boyd Coddington California Roadster package transformed the Mustang with unique cosmetic and performance upgrades. The two-tone custom paint is complemented by a Roush front fascia with fog lamps, Roush rear wing, Roush emblems, Boyd Coddington decals, and factory Boyd Coddington California Roadster 18-inch wheels wrapped in high-performance tires. The black vinyl convertible top presents in excellent condition and operates as intended. Inside, the custom-stitched two-tone Black and Silver leather interior continues the theme with a serialized dash plaque featuring Boyd's signature, a Roush convertible styling bar, and a Roush electroluminescent gauge package. The presence of both Boyd Coddington's signed Serialized plaque and Jack Roush's signature on the dash highlights the authenticity and pedigree of this special-edition Mustang. The cabin remains in excellent condition with only very minor wear noted, consistent with mileage. Beyond styling, Roush upgraded the chassis with a comprehensive suspension package that includes front and rear valved shocks, front and rear springs, rear lower control arms, front sway bar, and pinion snubber, giving the car sharper handling and improved road feel over a standard Mustang GT. Factory equipment includes power steering, power disc brakes with ABS and traction control, remote keyless entry, air conditioning, power convertible top with rear defrost, tinted glass, intermittent wipers, MACH AM/FM/CD stereo, power windows, power door locks, dual power mirrors, tilt steering, power driver seat, cruise control, Roush aluminum pedals, Roush floor mats, and the factory Roush trunk-mounted tool kit. This seldom-seen California Roadster is nicely documented with its original Ford window sticker, original Roush window sticker, interactive Mustang Owner Experience CD, original warranty guide, and owner's manual-an important factor in long-term value and collector confidence. As early-2000s specialty Mustangs continue to gain recognition, limited-production Roush collaborations-esp
