Ford Mustang GLX Convertible 3.8 Liter V6 1983

General description : Description
This 1983 Ford Mustang GLX convertible is an exceptionally original one-family owned convertible. It represents a low-mileage survivor drop-top that's not only a loaded A/C machine, but also it's quite significant in the Mustang's history. So it's amazing you can get a classic like this for such an affordable price.
This is a pivotal year for the Mustang. 1983 marked the return of the convertible, and at nearly double the price of the base coupe, these are a rare sight today. We're told this is a one-family owned vehicle that was purchased only about an hour from our dealership. In fact, it still has the Ford dealer tag on the rear. That's the kind of original details you get on a cherished survivor. The Medium Red paint even shows the right signs that it's the original applied at the Michigan factory. The application is complete, and the white pinstripe even coordinates with the white convertible top. The presentation is no longer perfect. Instead, it wears its age with pride, and that's what helps tell this car's unique story.
The GLX was about being an upper-class convertible, and this one shows that role inside. The bright red has a distinct look against the exterior's deeper tones. And it has nice features like plush velour seats (always handy on a convertible) and wood-like trim. It's a loaded car, and it really continues the time capsule feel with all the right features, including the center console, AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, power locks, and the tilt wheel that gives you a good view of the original speedo and tach. Plus, power windows and a power convertible top make it easy to open this one up to the world without leaving the driver's seat. And you can enjoy this feeling even in the summer thanks to cold-blowing factory air conditioning.
The engine bay has a crisp, clean, and preserved look to show off the 3.8-liter V6. We already know potent V8 power fits under the hood nicely here, but that's not the attitude this one has. It's a great classic cruiser with a story to tell, and so the V6 makes that even more distinctive. Especially since this looks crisp and clean from a life that has averaged under 1,200 miles annually. But we also know you're going to add to the odometer on this one. After all, they made it easy to enjoy this one with features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes with front discs.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a true survivor that's also a loaded pony car. So if you want a cool cruiser that also lets you talk about your car when you arrive, you know this deal is irresistible. Call now!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
