Now, when first attempting to jump start it, the solenoid would open/close but not start when the Negative cable was attached to the car ground.
But! When I put the Negative cable onto the Stang's battery terminal, it starts up with EASE.(circuit completed)
Well then, obviously a bad ground. Did you remove, clean and replace the ground strap? Are there any other ground straps on this car (I got no idea)?

I found just the one which is located near the coolant overflow tank, seemed secure, but couldn't get my eye on the connection itself
