Who hasn't wanted a Red convertible sportscar sometime during their life? Well here is an opportunity to buy a classic first generation Mustang drop top, in Red, with bold white stripes, that would nicely satisfy that desire. When Ford designed the Mustang, they created a whole new look of a long hood with a short trunk that set the standard for Pony cars. This hood has a scoop in the center and is held down with chrome... hood pins sitting over the iconic galloping Pony in the grill. The Red paint shines brightly and catches the light along the tops of the fenders as it rolls down the road. Bold white stripes start up front on the lower valence, tucking behind the thin chrome bumper and then up and over the hood. A triple white stripe runs along the rocker panel underlining the body crease down the side of the car and connecting the fender wells. The back of the car is classic Mustang with the triple brake light lenses with a Mustang fuel filler cap between them. The bold white lines continue over the trunk and down behind another sharp looking chrome bumper with a couple of exhaust tips peeking out from under it. Open the door and you will find a black interior that is neat and clean with splashes of chrome. The door panel has a shape that mimics the body crease on the side of the car and outlines it in thin chrome piping. There is a polished rocker trim panel and the bucket seat back has its structural bracing exposed and polished to a high shine. There is a deep dish, wood tone steering wheel with a Mustang center button sitting in front of a stock dash panel trimmed in thin chrome with the speedometer in the center flanked by four smaller engine gauges for fuel, water, oil, and voltage. The seats have woven inserts in the center surrounded by smooth vinyl trim, and the T-handle shifter for the automatic transmission is mounted in the center console. There is an AM/FM/Cassette player in the dash with four speakers for your listening pleasure and an armrest with cup holders from Classic Consoles for your comfort and convenience. Under that pinned down hood you will find a very desirable 289 V8. The air topper has a Holley Equipped sticker on it identifying the carburetor handling the fuel mixing duties and chrome Ford Racing valve covers along with a chrome filler neck adding some shine to the engine. Blue spark plug wires are complimented by blue wire harness looming and an engine block painted Ford blue. Stock exhaust manifolds send the gasses back through a dual exhaust system with glass pack style mufflers for a good sound and an aluminum 6-blade fan keeps things running cool. Power is sent back through a 3-speed automatic transmission to the rear axle mounted on leaf springs while the front suspension is a coil spring setup with a sway bar. The rubber meets the road through BFGoodrich Radial T/As mounted on chrome 5-spoke alloy wheels all around. A Red and White convertible Mustang with a 289 V8. What are you waiting for? Come on down and check out this car. You just might drive home in the Red convertible you have always wanted.
