I bought this 1988 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 convertible brand new (it had 6 miles on it) in August 1988 from a Ford dealership in Gilroy, CA. I am the original and only owner. The front seats have been reupholstered to match original and the back seat has been refurbished. Only “jewelry” condition issues exist: needs new roof (no longer water proof), driver side sun visor, and rear FORD emblem. There are two very minor dents on driver side (pop-out kind) and ashtray holder needs to be replaced/repaired. Overall, its condition is near-mint/excellent. The carpets are like new and there are no cracks in the dashboard or anywhere else. From age, the window moldings are getting very brittle. The exhaust system has been chromed. The car runs better than great and sounds awesome. Of the 186k on the car, only 22k are on brand new engine. I think the old one blew a head gasket...don’t know for sure. It was too inconvenient at the time to deal with it so I just bought a new engine. I will give you the original engine as a bonus (along with the storage case the new one came in). At 26 years of age, the car is starting to burn a little oil J. I’ve only used premium gasoline since I bought him. Below is the history sheet I’ve kept on "Henry" since day one. His name is Henry because during the week he was Professor Henry Jones but on the weekend he turned into Indiana! I LOVE this car but must sell it to help with my dad's healthcare...he's a Korean War Veteran with Alzheimer's.
