Used 1988 Ford Mustang for sale in Lithia Springs, GA

This 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible looks as if it were teleported in time directly from its late '80s origin to the present. It really looks sharp and remains in period correct configuration, so it's one seriously authentic representative of the Mustang's third generation. On top of that it's running great, so there'll be no need to restrict your enjoyment to brief weekend outings - it's very much up to the challenges of frequent driving. It's simply a great looking vintage ride. Its white paint is original - not just the color but the actual paint - and it presents very well with a nice shine, and the contrasting trim that encircles the body is still sharp. All of the badging it began life with is present and in good form and the black trim framing the windshield, as well as the side mirrors, still has its deep black color. By virtue of its GT status, it wears an aero package to equip it with an enhanced front fascia and stylish yet subtle ground effects with scoops in front of the wheels in both front and back. The exterior alignment looks nice and precise - the body panels blend together well and the doors, hood and deck lid all open and close smoothly. That luggage rack sitting over the deck lid in back reinforces the notion that this Pony is ready to hit the road and provide future memories of open air driving fun. Should the skies darken during that time, there's a power white convertible top standing by underneath its well-fitted boot to levitate into place for protection and it sports a clear glass rear window, so it's resistant to UV exposure and unlikely to fade anytime soon. The white interior has withstood the years well. The tall white bucket seats up front and bench seat in back don't show much wear at all nor the marked discoloration you often see in white upholstery. Just as with the exterior, everything inside has been faithfully kept in its factory configuration and has obviously been carefully sheltered during its lifetime. The dash area is clean and straight, with the factory gauges in its instrument cluster all functioning just as intended and an AM/FM/Cassette ready to provide its era-appropriate technology to your audio experience. This GT came along at a time when air conditioning was becoming a bit more common in convertibles - it's plumbed and equipped and will need just a simple freon charge to get it back online. Additional comfort features include a tilting column and power windows and door locks. That same strict adherence to stock configuration - with just one welcome exception - carries through under the hood, where an electronically fuel injected 5.0 liter V8 resides to power this drop top. The engine starts right up and is running very smoothly and now exhales into a pair of headers to reduce backpressure - a nice upgrade that pays dividends in the form of increased acceleration. The featured 4 speed automatic transmission is also period correct and shifts smoothly, with its overdrive gear coming in very handy to keep RPMs nice and low at highway speeds. Both power steering and power brakes are also on board, so navigating and stopping comes easy when this classic convertible takes to the asphalt on its set of 16" Pony wheels outfitted with Fuzion tires. You don't find many cars of its era sporting such a vital, fresh appearance - and its sheer authenticity and smooth running power make this 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible an even rarer find.
