I'm not quite sure what they are trying to sell there. To me all it is, is a V6 coupe with a plaque on the console.

What the heck is a COLT 305?

Dang, not even a stick car!! LOL


cheers

I'm assuming its a way to market the 305hp 3.7L V6 the car has but other than the stripes it doesn't seem to have anything else done to it.

That's kind of like the 05-09 GT's I see with GT300 on them in the same spot as this car, no offense to anyone who has one but that's just not my cup of tea.

Yep, looks mostly like a styling exercise, but I'd like to hear the custom exhaust they mention. This is quoted from Berge Ford's Autostyling link:

What is the COLT 305? It is a Limited Edition Mustang that is ONLY available to be sold at Berge Ford! This COLT 305 is based on Ford’s V6 performance package, which comes with 305hp, GT suspension, 3.31 gears, unique 19” wheels, and upgraded brakes. The COLT 305 package also includes an appearance package and custom exhaust. All for around $28,500 (manual), or $1,000 more for the new 6-speed auto with select shift. Oh, and it gets 31mpg too!

Why the COLT 305? We wanted to offer our customers a vehicle with a great value, good performance (305hp), and unique styling – - – all for under $30,000! With well-equipped GT’s pushing $40k, we felt that there was a void in the line up for budget minded buyers who want an affordable custom Mustang. The COLT 305 fills this void.

Who are the targeted buyers? Buyers who like to have a unique vehicle that stands out above the crowd, with good performance, looks, and is easy on the wallet!

Any discounts available? Unlike other Limited Edition Mustangs, all manufacturer’s rebates and incentives apply with this vehicle. A/Z/X and D Plan buyers are still eligible to purchase the COLT 305 at their Plan incentive pricing, plus the cost of the COLT 305 package. Currently, Ford Motor Credit has a $500 bonus cash rebate on this vehicle.

Can the COLT 305 package be applied to any vehicle? Any Mustang, new or used, sold at Berge Ford can be accessorized by our Auto Styling Department.

just a poor gimmick in my drug induced mind

Terrible ... Just terrible.

They'll sucker someone in!

Oh yeah but it's a "limited edition" and it's "exclusive" and "only available at".....I can see some sucker(s) coming and buying it, and then leaving thinking they have something real special......What a joke!
