Notes: Soft top, hard power -- The 1983 Ford mustang convertible - the first such convertible since 1973 - combines the freedom and excitement of a "soft top" with the power and performance of a GT. A hotter four-barrel version of Ford's high-output 5.0-liter engine with a four speed manual transmission - the same powertrain standard on the Mustang GT - is optional on the convertible. The car offers more than most other convertibles - a fully usable rear seat, roll-down quarter windows, a glass window and a complete, factory-installed structural reinforcement package that reduces noise, vibration and harshness, increases corrosion protection and strengthens the body. All 1983 Mustang models have undergone an exterior styling change., featuring a sleek new front-end design and new taillamps.
