In the late ’80s, the muscle car most people wanted was the Ford Mustang. One of the prime examples of the Mustang from that era is this 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. The car has the legendary 5.0-liter V8 engine under the hood that was known by many as the 5.0.
The example in the images here is a very clean white with a maroon stripe on the outside, and maroon interior inside the convertible. It has a white top, different from the mostly black top we see today. The car appears to be mostly stock, and the seller says that the car has 45,000 original miles on the clock.
The 1988 Ford Mustang GT doesn’t have the desirable manual transmission having a factory automatic instead. The white convertible top is new, so it is in perfect condition. Other factory features include power windows and locks, factory AC, AM/FM stereo and the factory turbine-style aluminum wheels.
The 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible will cross the auction block with GAA Classic Cars on November 19, 2019, which is a Thursday. The car has no reserve and will go home with a new owner. The only thing on this car that doesn’t appear to be stock is the rear whale tail spoiler that appears to be a Saleen-style unit.
We are big Fox body fans around here and always liked the plaid cloth interior these cars had when new. Most of the convertibles we have seen of late have leather inside; it’s nice to see a cloth seat car that still looks like new. Our favorite Fox would be a 87 and up LX 5.0 notch with a 5-speed manual. What about you? Check out this Fox convertible with the heart of a 2003 Cobra.
