Today we're back after a brief hiatus. We haven't had a Mustang in this spot in a while, so we're featuring a 1998 Ford Mustang GT convertible on this fine Friday.

It has V8-power, an automatic transmission, and just 20,000 miles on the clock.

It's red with a white leather interior. The car has a CD player, Mach 460 audio, and new tires.

The ask here is $14,000 and the car is based in Florida.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The slowest Mustang GT since '82, but an outstanding weekend cruiser if you just want to drop the top and blast some Journey on the beach road. The 2-valve 4.6 is the same engine in thousands of Police Interceptor Crown Vics, it's reliable as the sun, tough as a 50-cent steak and makes a little V8 burble. Much faster Mustangs are available for more money. And by the way the "Theft" light illuminates if the keys in the ignition and door is opened, which is likely why it's illuminated in the picture. IT has zero to do with the odometer.

  Exactly. It's dirt cheap to run and fast enough without trying to kill you.

Drop a good, high-strung German engine in this and you'd have American flair with German repair costs!

Wolfwagen How about some standardization of wiper controls? I have 5 different cars in my family's fleet and have driven a ton of rentals for work. Holy F*cking Sh*t Balls! Left side, right side, push the lever up to turn on, push the lever down to turn on, push the lever forward to turn on, pull the lever back to turn, slide indicator to the left to decrease intermittent wipe time, slide indicator to the right to decrease intermittent wiper time.
Redapple2 Someone else said it. Looks like a 4/5 size ford edge (front and back)
Rochester Tim, where was your head at in 1984 when it became a law to wear your seatbelt? Personally I thought it was none of the Gubmint's bizniss to force me to belt up. Today, I feel exposed and unsafe without it. My point is, give it time, both the tech and your values will evolve.
Theflyersfan After looking it over, Honda, I want royalties for this one: The Honda Yawn.
V8fairy Not scared, but I would be reluctant to put my trust in it. The technology is just not quite there yet
