1997 Ford Mustang Woodward Dream Cruise Edition

The Woodward Dream Cruise has become one of the most important celebrations of American car culture. In 1997, Ford Motor Company and ASC created a very special Mustang to commemorate the event. Only 58 SVO Woodward Dream Cruise Edition Mustangs were produced, making them among the rarest special-edition SN95 Mustangs of the era. This example is one of those 58 cars and has just 2,848 original miles since new, preserving an important piece of modern Mustang and Detroit automotive history.

Built specifically for the 1997 Woodward Dream Cruise, the package began with a Mustang GT and received a distinctive group of ASC and SVO upgrades. The car is finished in Crystal White with Razor Blue Shelby-style racing stripes and features special commemorative badging, unique exterior details, and a numbered dash plaque indicating its limited-edition number and date.

Power comes from Ford's 4.6-liter SOHC V8 paired with a five-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential, providing an enthusiast-focused driving experience. A specially tuned BORLA stainless steel side exhaust system gives the car a more aggressive sound and appearance compared to a standard Mustang GT.

The exterior features Crystal White paint accented by Razor Blue racing stripes, Shelby-style quarter-panel air intakes, chrome hood pins, commemorative Woodward Dream Cruise fender badges, and white powder-coated 17-inch aluminum wheels. The original Goodyear Eagle ZR45 tires are still installed, which is impressive considering the low mileage, though they should be replaced before serious road use due to age.

Inside, the Gray leather cabin is equipped with Preferred Equipment Group 249A and features the Mach 460 premium sound system, AM/FM cassette stereo, CD player, air conditioning, power steering, power windows, power door locks, remote keyless entry, cruise control, anti-theft system, and fog lamps. The limited-edition dash plaque remains in place, adding to its collector appeal.

The car benefits from power four-wheel disc brakes, independent front suspension, and Ford's four-link rear suspension, offering the familiar road manners of a Mustang GT with the distinctive personality of the ASC/SVO modifications. It was sold new at Village Ford in Dearborn, Michigan, further connecting it to the Detroit area and the Woodward Dream Cruise.

With only 58 units produced, this Mustang is highly significant and rare. Its combination of ASC/SVO upgrades, commemorative styling, five-speed manual transmission, original tires, and low mileage makes it especially desirable.

This 1997 Ford Mustang GT SVO Woodward Dream Cruise Edition is a rare modern collectible, offering authentic Mustang provenance, unique styling, and production rarity. It is an excellent addition to any Ford or performance-car collection.
