Used Car of the Day: 1998 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
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.
Drop a good, high-strung German engine in this and you'd have American flair with German repair costs!
