For Sale: 1998 Ford Mustang GT Convertible (Rio Red, 4.6L V8, 5-speed, 85K miles)
This Rio Red 1998 Ford Mustang GT convertible is offered for sale on ClassicCars.com by a private seller in Weatherford, Texas, the Mustang shows fewer than 85,000 miles on the odometer.
When the fourth-generation Ford Mustang debuted at the end of 1993 as a 1994 model, it took styling in a new direction compared with the previous Fox-body generation, leveraging a more-rounded design. The project had been codenamed “SN-95” internally at Ford, and the body style endured through 2004, experiencing a refresh about mid-way through 1999.
This Mustang convertible arrived just before the refresh and is described by the seller as largely original in configuration, right down to the AM/FM/CD player with cassette tape deck. The car’s odometer shows only 84,803 miles, relatively low mileage for its 23 years.
“I have owned it since 2003 and have put 47,000 miles on it,” the seller states.
The drivetrain of a GT-spec 1998 Mustang pairs a 4.6-liter V8 and 5-speed manual transmission, with output of 225 horsepower and 290 pound-feet of torque.
