1997 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

Description

A distinct color combo, desirable V8 power, an overdrive transmission, a loaded A/C interior, and overall drop-top appeal make this 1997 Ford Mustang GT Convertible quite an attractive young classic.

The factory-correct Autumn Orange is also the factory original application. It has the right look of a car that has been driven responsibly for the last quarter-century (this one averaging less than 2,300 miles annually.) There's a value price on this one for those who are looking to upgrade it back to perfection, but it's nice to have the option of originality because the factory color is quite important here. The fourth generation car was developed to get the Mustang closer back to its roots, and we can't help but see a resemblance to the famous Emberglo that was only available in the early years of the Mustang. And now this drop-top has crossed the 25-year threshold, it's now eligible for vintage car plates/benefits in many states. So as you look over the clean and well-respected body of this highly stock and original GT convertible, you can really start to see how it makes for a great way to own and drive a very original young classic.

While the black convertible top goes well with the orange, we especially like the look of this one with the roof stowed. The interior tan and the exterior's orange just seem to have the kind of harmonious blend that you would get on a sophisticated luxury car. It also works well for a loaded pony car. It has all the best features like a power convertible top, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual airbags, electric rear defogger, cruise control, and the factory premium AM/FM/cassette stereo with CD player. Plus, cold-blowing R134a air conditioning is ideal for top-down driving on a sunny day. The interior reflects that age and mileage, but the good care means it's also clean and comfortable. You'll slip into the leather bucket seat, grip the sports steering wheel, and the tilt steering column means you get a good view of this GT's full gauge package.

One of the reasons why the Mustang is a legend is the proper V8 power. So it's nice to have a later 4th gen model that benefits from the upgrade to the 4.6-liter SOHC modular V8. It ushered in a new era of performance while still delivering the same hardy reputation. Proper care means this fuel-injected motor fires up nicely, and it makes a great sound out of the dual exhaust. And because this one still loves to be a driver, it has the right features to be great for journeys near or far. This includes the GT's upgraded suspension, power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes w/ABS, and a four-speed automatic transmission w/overdrive.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and service manuals. This is a terrifically stock presentation of a significant pony car drop-top. So don't let it slip away, call today!
