Five Ways the 2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Is Unusual and Awesome

2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - It’s a 2-door Coupe
The first way the Mustang GT is rare is that Ford makes it in a 2-door coupe body style. Many manufacturers, particularly those from Europe, now call anything a coupe, regardless of the number of doors. Ford builds an actual coupe. 

2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - It’s Rear Wheel Drive
Rear wheel drive is old-school awesome when it comes to performance cars. This is because the front wheels are left to steer and unburdened when power is put down. RWD is the best way for a fun car to be laid out, and Ford stayed true to this. 

2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - It Has a Soft Top
Sadly, convertibles are going away. This has been happening for over a decade. Ford knows that the best fun cars all have removable tops, and the Mustang is the last remaining muscle car of its type with a soft top. The top is made of material supplied by Acton Massachusetts-based Haartz Corp from premium Twillfast RPC. Haartz also supplies the door upper and instrument panel surfaces, made of Soft-Tek. 

2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - It Has a V8 Gas Engine
The time will come when the last V8 is delivered to a buyer. It may well be a Ford when that happens. We hope it is a long time coming, but with most manufacturers killing off their V8s, it’s nice to see Ford keeping its. 

2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - It Has a Stick Shift Transmission
If you want an automatic Mustang GT, Ford will sell you one. But the standard transmission in the GT is a stick. Row it with joy.

As you can see, the 2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is the last of the great convertible fun cars. Don't miss your chance to own one. Prices of Mustang GT Convertibles like the red one in our image start at $58,065, including the Ford Destination Charges & Acquisition Fee, but not including dealer Doc fees, markups, and added content.
