Description OFFERED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IS THIS BEAUTIFUL MINT ORIGINAL 1983 MUSTANG GLX 5.0 CONVERTIBLE. 1983 WAS A SPECIAL YEAR FOR THE MUSTANG AND THE MUSTANG BUYER. THE YEAR THAT BROUGHT BACK PERFORMANCE AND THE CONVERTIBLE TO THE PONY CAR. THE 1983 MUSTANG STARTED THE FACTORY PERFORMANCE WARS OF THE 80'S. 1983 WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THE HOLLEY 4 BARREL CARBURETOR, T-5 TRANSMISSION AND THE CONVERTIBLE FOX BODY MUSTANG. THIS IS THE CAR THAT CHANGED THE WORLD OF PERFORMANCE CARS FOR YEARS TO COME. BACK IN THE LATE 70'S AND EARLY 80'S CAR WERE SLUGS THAT COULD NOT GET OUT OF THEIR OWN WAY. POOR PERFORMANCE, POOR HANDLING, NO STYLE. IN 1979 FORD TURNED THE WORLD ON THEIR HEADS BY INTRODUCING THE NEW FOX BODY MUSTANG. IT WAS CUTTING EDGE AND WAS FAR AHEAD OF WHAT FORD HAD BEEN PRODUCING. IT WAS SO GOOD THAT IT WAS CHOSEN TO BE THE PACE CAR FOR THE INDY 500 . FORD KNEW THEY HAD A GREAT PLATFORM AND WANTED TO MAKE IT BETTER. BY 1983 THEY HAD WORKED OUT ALL THE BUGS AND HAD A CAR THEY COULD BE PROUD OF. ONLY ONE THING WAS MISSING TO THE LONG TIME MUSTANG ENTHUSIAST. A CONVERTIBLE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS FORD WOULD PRODUCE A MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE. IN EARLY 1983 PRODUCTION THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD GET A CONVERTIBLE WAS IN THE LUXURY GLX TRIM. A small area of the big Dearborn plant was set aside for turning notchbacks into convertibles. this involved removing the roof; reinforcing the windshield pillars and cowl/dashboard area; substituting stiffer rear-quarter panels; and adding side members (just above the rockers), a thicker taillight panel, and a stiffening crossmember between the rear wheel arches. The Mustang was engineered in-house and mostly built at the factory. Only top installation was farmed out to Cars & Concepts of Brighton, Michigan NO MUSTANG COLLECTION WOULD BE COMPLETE WITHOUT AN '83 CONVERTIBLE. THE CAR THAT WOULD EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE END OF T-TOPS AND CAPTURE A LARGE PART OF THE MARKET FOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THIS BEAUTIFUL MINT ORIGINAL 1983 MUSTANG GLX 5.0 HAS BEEN LOVED SINCE DAY ONE AND IT SHOWS. I WORKED FOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY WHEN THESE CARS WERE NEW, I WAS AMAZED WHEN MY FRIEND BOUGHT THIS CAR A FEW YEARS AGO AT THE CONDITION AND ORIGINALITY. NOT MANY 27 YEAR OLD MUSTANGS CAN SAY THEY ARE CLEAN AND ORIGINAL AS THIS CAR IS. THIS LOW MILE CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL PAINT, TOP AND INTERIOR FROM WHAT I AM TOLD. YOU CAN STILL SEE THE PAINT INSPECTORS NAME STAMP IN THE DOOR JAMBS AND UNDER THE HOOD. BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL WHITE LEATHER INTERIOR WITH RED CARPET AND MINT CRACK FREE DASH. MINT STEERING WHEEL AND DOOR PANELS. CAR IS VERY WELL EQUIPPED WITH THE FAMOUS 5.0 LITER HIGH OUTPUT ENGINE WITH THE FIRST YEAR HOLLEY 4 BARREL CARBURETOR AND 5 SPEED T-5 TRANSMISSION, PREMIUM SOUND, AIR CONDITIONING,POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING, POWER WINDOWS, POWER DOOR LOCKS,TRX WHEELS AND MICHELIN TRX TIRES. A MUSTANG LIKE THIS BELONGS IN A COLLECTION LIKE THE ONE IT IS COMING OUT OF.
