Overview of 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible For Sale by Owner

The Fox-body Mustang has become one of the defining American performance cars of the 1980s, and the GT Convertible remains one of the most recognizable versions of the formula. This 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible shows approximately 100,336 miles and is finished in Black over a Scarlet Red cloth interior with a black convertible soft top. Its specification includes the 5.0L High-Output V8, 4-speed AOD automatic, Traction-Lok limited-slip differential, GT lower body aero package, front air dam with integrated fog lights, rear decklid spoiler, and 15-inch turbine-style aluminum wheels. The red bodyside accent stripe ties directly into the vivid interior, while a JVC audio head unit adds a small modern update. It is a classic late-1980s Mustang configuration with plenty of visual attitude and the V8 character enthusiasts expect from a Fox-body GT.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is finished in Black and carries the aggressive GT lower body aero package that visually separates it from a standard Mustang. A red bodyside accent stripe adds strong contrast along the lower body, while the front air dam integrates the GT’s signature fog lights. The rear decklid spoiler and 15-inch turbine-style aluminum wheels complete the period-correct performance look, and the black convertible soft top keeps the overall color scheme cohesive. The combination of black paint, red striping, and GT-specific bodywork gives this Mustang the unmistakable late-1980s presence that made the Fox-body such an icon. The interior of this 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is finished in Scarlet Red cloth and features sport bucket seats, creating one of the most distinctive cabin color combinations of the era. The red dashboard, carpeting, door panels, and upholstery contrast sharply with the black exterior and reinforce the car’s bold period character. A JVC audio head unit replaces the original stereo, while the rest of the cabin retains the simple driver-focused layout that made these cars so approachable. With the top down, the vivid Scarlet Red interior becomes one of the most defining visual elements of the entire car.

Engine

Powering this 1988 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is Ford’s 5.0L naturally aspirated High-Output V8 with sequential electronic fuel injection, paired with a 4-speed AOD automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The drivetrain is backed by a Traction-Lok limited-slip rear differential, helping the car put its V8 power to the pavement with the straightforward mechanical character that made the 5.0 Mustang famous. Dual exhaust adds to the traditional small-block soundtrack, while the Fox-body’s relatively light platform keeps the overall driving experience engaging even decades later. The combination of the 5.0L V8, rear-wheel drive, limited-slip differential, and GT chassis package remains the core reason these cars continue to have such a strong enthusiast following.

Current Ask
$36,500

This 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop is the kind of early pony car that gets straight to the point: a compact coupe, a small-block Ford V8, a four-speed manual, and rear-wheel drive. Showing approximately 17,433 miles, this example is finished in Caspian Blue over a black reupholstered interior and keeps the classic Mustang recipe intact while adding just enough personalization to make it feel more driver-focused. The 289ci V8, Hurst shifter, manual gearbox, and clean first-generation styling give it the sort of analog character that makes these cars so enjoyable even decades later.

1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

Current Ask
$55,000

With just 1,025 miles showing, this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an extraordinary low-mileage example of one of the most important American performance cars of its era. The first-year ZR-1 paired the C4 Corvette’s unmistakable shape with the sophisticated 5.7-liter LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, a ZF 6-speed manual transmission, and unique wide-body hardware developed to handle its increased performance. Finished in Black over a Black leather interior, this example retains hallmark ZR-1 equipment including the dual-mode engine power system with its Full-Power key, Selective Ride Control, staggered 17-inch directional aluminum wheels, and removable targa roof panel. The approximately 1,025 miles displayed are the defining feature here, making this a particularly compelling example for the collector or enthusiast seeking a first-year ZR-1 with remarkably limited indicated use.

1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo

Current Ask
$27,000

The 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo represents one of the most ambitious Japanese-American performance collaborations of the early 1990s, combining dramatic grand-touring styling with a sophisticated twin-turbocharged powertrain and an unusually advanced collection of chassis technology for its era. This example shows approximately 31,533 miles and is finished in Mistic Blue Metallic over a Black interior. Beyond its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 and Getrag 5-speed manual transmission, the R/T Turbo specification brings period performance features such as active aerodynamics, electronically controlled suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes with ABS, and pop-up headlights. With relatively low indicated mileage and unmistakably early-'90s styling, this Stealth delivers the technology-heavy character that made the flagship R/T Turbo such a distinctive performance car.
