1996 Ford Mustang Convertible


The fourth generation of Ford's pony car only came in two basic flavors: the base Mustang and the performance-oriented Mustang GT. Both could be had in coupe or convertible form. The car in the photo is a base convertible in Opal Frost Clearcoat Metallic riding on the optional 15" cast aluminum wheels.

Unlike the previous generation, where the lower-zoot LX could be ordered with the 5.0L small block and all the performance goodies, the base Mustangs now were all V-6 powered while the V-8 was exclusive to the GT.

The base motor was a 3.8L sequential fuel injected version of Ford's Essex pushrod V-6 engine family which put out 150 net horsepower.

This one was photographed in August of 2023 using a Nikon D3 and an 80-200mm f/2.8D zoom lens.
