Vehicle Description
Fuel-injected V8 power, a five-speed stick, and drop-top appeal
instantly have you attracted to this 1987 Ford Mustang GT
Convertible. And as you look over this value-priced sports car,
you'll really start to appreciate what it means to have such a
survivor-style car in the world of modern classics.
This car is largely a survivor. That's not something you find in
this generation of Mustangs. The market is catching up to these,
and so there's a larger hunt going on for ones like this that have
been preserved and maintained rather than radicalized. It's
important because 1987 was a pivotal year for the Mustang as it
received a host of cool upgrades. This includes the flush-mounted
headlights and the new full GT body kit that really amped up the
sporty intimidation. And important areas like the upper Medium
Scarlet paint show all the right signs of being the factory
application. The right other details are present on this survivor,
like the slotted tail lights, luggage rack, and 16-spoke factory
alloys that became legends for these later GTs.
This Mustang plays the part of a proper classic correctly with a
nicely harmonized color package. So the black convertible top looks
good as it coordinates with the details like the encircling black
rub strip. And then you take it down, the gray interior is a
harmonizing tone with the full lower section of this GTs body.
There's even a gray convertible boot and bright red floor mats for
even more thoughtful color details. More than just organized, this
one is desirable for its level of features. It's loaded with power
locks, power mirrors, a power convertible top, and a premium
factory AM/FM/cassette stereo with a multi-band equalizer. Being a
survivor does not mean that everything is perfect. And so if you
want a cruiser you may take some time to decide to work on details
like restoring the air conditioning or the driver's rear power
window. But the best part of it all is the way this engages the
driver with well-contoured bucket seats, a sport steering wheel on
a tilt column, and the full gauges that have a large tach that goes
well with the stick shift.
We all know why the Five-Oh is a legend. Ford's fuel-injected
5.0-liter V8s are a favorite because they mix overbuilt performance
with serious power right out of the box. It's also why there is a
huge aftermarket for upgrades. But in a survivor-level car like
this, it thankfully looks largely untouched except for good regular
maintenance. And what makes this one even more desirable is the
control you get with the five-speed manual transmission. Add in
power steering, power brakes, front discs, and the GT suspension
setup, and it creates a terrific all-around drop-top driver's
machine.
This is the new class of survivor. So when you can find an example
that's both loaded and well-respected, and all for a terrific
price, you know you've found an irresistible deal. Call
