No Reserve: 1994 Ford Mustang GT Convertible

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

Finding an affordable classic Convertible to make the most of sunny days can be challenging, but this 1994 Ford Mustang GT could be the ideal answer. Not only is it extremely tidy for its age, but it also features a very low odometer reading. If these thoughts are tempting you, the seller’s decision to part with this drop-top in a No Reserve auction might make it irresistible. They have listed the Mustang here on eBay in New London, Wisconsin. Thirty-one bids have pushed the price to $7,500 with plenty of time remaining on their listing.

Ford’s Fourth Generation Mustang marked a change in design philosophy for the company. Unlike the Fox-Body that it replaced, the latest model carried a few design cues dating back to the original Mustang that took the world by storm. The seller is sparing with their information regarding the car’s history, but it carries the hallmarks of a vehicle that has been treated respectfully. Its Rio Red paint shines nicely, with only a few very minor chips and marks. The panels are as straight as an arrow, and the underside shots confirm that this gem is as solid as the day it left the factory. The Saddle soft-top is free from rips, fitting as tight as a drum. It does have a few marks, and it would be interesting to see if attention with a high-quality cleaner would remove them. The wheels show no evidence of physical damage, and the plastic seems to be crack-free.

The GT variant joined the Mustang range in January 1994, with Ford carrying over the fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8 from its predecessor. The package brought suspension upgrades, while this car’s first owner chose to forego the standard five-speed manual transmission in favor of the four-speed automatic. They rounded out the mechanical specifications with a Traction-Lok rear end, while power assistance for the steering and four-wheel disc brakes was standard equipment. The seller claims that this GT has a genuine 39,225 miles showing on its odometer, although the failure to mention verifying evidence means it must be taken on face value. However, they do include a recent Inspection Certificate in their listing images, confirming that this Mustang is in excellent health. One item the winning bidder will need to add is new tires, because those on the car have reached the end of their life. The seller also includes a link to this YouTube video in their listing. It provides an excellent walkaround and also proves that this GT runs and drives very nicely.

The first owner decided to blend performance with comfort when ordering this GT. They ticked the boxes beside air conditioning, remote keyless entry, a rear defroster, Saddle leather trim, cruise control, and a stereo system with a CD player. That list may not seem long, but it is worth remembering that standard equipment on the Mustang included power windows, a power driver’s seat, power mirrors, power lumbar support, and a tilt wheel. The overall presentation is extremely tidy, with the leather carrying the typical age creases, but no evidence of significant wear or physical damage. The plastic is in good condition, and the carpet looks extremely nice when you consider how prone such a pale shade is to marks and stains.

This 1994 Mustang GT Convertible is a tidy survivor, and if the odometer reading is verifiable, its bulletproof drivetrain should provide years of reliable classic motoring. The current high bid figure keeps it within what most people would agree is affordable territory, although the amount of interest that this classic has generated suggests that there might be more auction action in the final hours. That begs the question of what you might be willing to pay to take this turnkey drop-top home.

    This looks like a nice car than should be a fun affordable cruiser.

    Sometimes people complain about the lack of affordable enthusiast cars, here is a prime example they exist. Ever since I graduated from high school in the early-1980’s me and my friends were faced with the reality we couldn’t afford the cars we really wanted, our dream cars, we quickly learned it was better to go after the best car we could afford based on our budgets. That hasn’t changed, if you can’t afford a 1969 Camaro or 1968 Charger R/T find a later model performance car, manufacturers domestic and foreign have been producing large numbers of stylish fun to drive performance cars since the 1980’s. It’s not hard to find something if you have an open mind and are willing to put in the work of finding one.

      “Autotragic?” Really? I guess folks who can’t physically drive standard shift just shouldn’t drive at all, huh?

    I was in high school when these came out, and it was exciting to have a new Mustang after so many years of the Fox Body (which was still a cool car). But I know I wasn’t alone in being disappointed that Ford basically carried over the powertrain when the Camaro had the much more powerful LT1. Who knows why Ford didn’t soup up a 351 to put in there as an option; they installed one in the ’95 Cobra R.

      Blame a more conservative engineering philosophy at Ford. The 1997 Mustang Cobra had the then new 4.6 liter overhead cam engine. Lots of aluminum, light and high revving and more horsepower. This one with six more days left to bid is not going to be a bargain for long. BTW, if any readers happen to be in Cleveland or happen to visit, there’s still a week left to check out the Mustang exhibit at the a Western Reserve Historical society. A truly awesome Shelby GT350 and a Supercharged 2017 Cobra.
