1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

Original Owner • 5-Speed Manual • 8,975 Miles • Cabernet Red / White Leather

This exceptionally preserved, single-owner 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible represents one of the finest, most original Fox-Body GT's available. Showing only 8,975 miles from new, this car has remained in the hands of the same owner since he purchased it in March of 1988 from Wyman Ford Inc. in Maplewood, NJ. He kept the car at his home in New Jersey, where it was carefully stored and sparingly driven for nearly four decades. It currently wears OEM Foxbody Tri-Bar “Pony” Wheels, additionally Original 15" Turbine Wheels & tires are included in the sale. This Foxbody Convertible retains its authentic factory presentation, factory documentation, and the correct mechanical feel expected from a true low-mile survivor.

The original owner purchased this Mustang new in 1988 and maintained it as a cherished part of his garage ever since. The car remained in original condition, was driven minimally, and was kept indoors for the entirety of his ownership. The original window sticker, keys, service records, and additional OEM Turbine wheels accompany the sale. The car’s condition and authenticity are a direct result of his long-term stewardship.

This single-owner, clean Carfax Mustang GT presents as a highly original, investment-grade survivor. The paint, interior, switchgear, engine bay, and trim all reflect minimal use and careful long-term care. The drivetrain feels exactly as a low-mile 5.0/5-speed Fox-Body should — tight, responsive, and unmodified.
Examples with this level of originality, mileage, documentation, and single-owner history are becoming increasingly uncommon. This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a true collector-quality Foxbody Convertible.
