Description:
This 1983 Ford Mustang GLX convertible is an exceptionally original classic. That\'s quite appealing because it\'s also a unique offering for this year. And when you look at details like the color and transmission, it\'s starting to look like that this V8 drop-top is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This is a pivotal year for the Mustang. 1983 marked the return of the convertible, and at nearly double the price of the base coupe, these are a rare sight today. And the top-tier GLX package was only offered this year in a drop-top. Bittersweet Orange was never a popular color when it was offered for a few years on the early Fox body Mustangs. Don\'t feel bad for it because today it means they are quite collectible. In fact, it\'s believed less than 50 GLX convertibles were finished this way. So you\'re looking at a color that\'s more vibrant than red and has the rarity that would make a Ferrari jealous! That\'s why it\'s even more impressive that this one shows all the right signs of being the factory application. And while there is no proof that the low odometer represents the car\'s full mileage, the glossy finish has the look of an ultra-low mileage car where more issues come from waxing it for 40 years rather than the daily grind. So it\'s not perfect, but it\'s darn impressive. And we like the coordinated black style of the pinstripe, encircling rub strip, full mud flaps, and headlight buckets. Plus, details like the bright white convertible top and wire wheel covers add the right GLX-level elegance. The GLX was about being an upper-class convertible, and this one shows that role inside. The way the white swats and door panels continue to have such a bright style is another reason why we could believe this was a low-mileage cherished car. But we especially like to see higher traffic areas like the carpeting done in black so you never have to worry about dusty shoes. It\'s a terrifically preserved style, right down to details like the under-dash light that greets you and the optional luxury steering wheel. It\'s a loaded car, and it really continues the time capsule feel with all the right features, including the center console, AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, and a power convertible top. And one of our favorite features is the transmission. We have the window sticker to show a credit back on this car for having a four-speed manual (most V8 GLXs came with a four-speed auto or a five-speed stick.) So when we think about the color and transmission, there\'s potential for a one-of-one pony car! Under the hood is the classic Ford 5.0-liter V8. It has the look of proper care and good maintenance and the way this one fires up and runs reaffirms its proper respect. In fact, hitting the road will feel like turning back the clock 40 years. It\'s a confident and comfortable cruiser with power steering, power brakes, front discs, a rear sway bar, and newer touring tires. The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, service manuals, and other vintage paperwork. The attached Marti report shows just exactly how rare this GLX convertible is. But it certainly feels like you\'re looking at one of the best prices you\'ll even find for a well-kept car with exotic-level production figures. Call today!!!
