1987 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible

Description

The 1987 Ford Mustang GT sported a major refresh of Ford’s iconic third-generation “Fox Body” muscle car. For the ‘87 model year, it received a redesigned front end with aerodynamic headlights and a smoother nose, replacing the earlier boxy look. Powered by a 5.0L high-output V8 producing 225 horsepower, the GT delivered strong performance and helped revive interest in American performance cars.

This ‘87 Mustang GT Convertible was acquired by the current owner in 2008. Finished in black with a red accent stripe and a black soft top, the car is powered by a 5.0L V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.

Exterior details include GT-specific bodywork, front fog lights, louvered taillight covers, a rear luggage rack, and 15” aluminum wheels. Inside, bolstered front bucket seats are upholstered in Medium Gray leather and complemented by a color-coordinated lower dashboard and door panels.

The GT came equipped with the Handling Suspension Package, while braking is managed by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. Additional amenities include an AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, and power-operated windows, door locks, and side mirrors.

This 1987 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Convertible is offered by the seller on behalf of their parent with a top boot, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Michigan title in the current owner's name.
