Vehicle Description
This 1983 Ford Mustang GT convertible is sleek, stylish, powerful,
and a whole lot of fun. After all, who doesn't love a 5.0 pony car
drop-top with a five-speed? And this clean classic is even offered
at a value price.
This Mustang is on an actual miles title, and so it has only
averaged about 1,800 miles annually. The reason why someone would
give this less use, good care, excellent paperwork, and the right
upgrades is because it's a special year. The 1983 car broke the
decade-long convertible drought. These were quite expensive (nearly
doubling the base model's price,) and so it's believed only about
1000 GT convertibles were produced in 1983. So now that you
understand the rarity and significance, you can see why this one
has such a nice fit and finish. The white paint is bright and
glossy, and it serves as a great backdrop for all the dark elements
like the distinctive GT hood stripe, factory hood scoop trim (only
available for a few years,) black rub strip that encircles the
entire body, and a snug-fitting back roof. This is quite a stylish
car, but don't think of it as a museum piece. It has a special
driver-ready impression where it loves to keep its vintage style,
right down to classic upgrades, like the Ansen Sprint slotted mag
wheels.
As much as we like it with the roof up, convertibles are always
meant to be open to the world. So we love that this has such a
distinct and preserved red interior. It's both clean and
comfortable including amenities such as cruise control, power
windows, and a power convertible top. It's a terrific driver's car
with nicely bolstered front bucket seats, an armrest center
console, a tilt column, and full gauges with a handy tach. There
are some nice investments in well-integrated upgrades, like the
retro-style AM/FM digital tuner and the Hurst shifter. It makes for
a much better driving experience. There was even a more recent
investment in the air conditioning system, but it will need
additional servicing to blow cold again. It's quite a complete and
vintage setup that you'll appreciate the little things, like the
distinct early Foxbody steering wheel and the color-matched
convertible boot.
The 5.0 High Output V8 is a legend in American performance for
delivering plenty of power in a stout package. This is one of the
last years for the four-barrel carb, which makes it great for
modification. So this one is currently inhaling deeply with a
Holley unit. It also exhales with added power and authority as
headers feed the X-pipe dual exhaust. Best of all, the five-speed
manual transmission gives you full control over this V8 and its
soundtrack. Plus, this classic has great anytime driving features
like power steering, power brakes, front discs, upgraded rear arms,
and sway bars front & rear.
The sale comes complete with a signboard that includes nice
paperwork like the original warranty card and dealer invoice. This
is the significant drop-top pony car that has the right mix of
style and driver-ready substance. So don't miss this Mustang. Call
