Hello to all the 'watchers' out there! My name is Dennis, and this is my car. Since the time is drawing near for the real fun to begin, here is a clue on price: serious bidders know what these are worth. This one is a great color combination, combined with the right features for a 'funstang'. Many of these convertibles come with fabric interior and the majority are automatic transmission .(for which I cannot understand Ford's reasoning) If paddle shift was a thing back in 1989, that might be a reasonable compromise, but the 5 speed was what set this one apart for me. Now with a great modern, well done, high quality Bluetooth sound system, paired with a reasonably sized sub, it's even more fun! The reserve is fair/reasonable. If you want a great fox body convertible, this is a good one!

@fearhere – Carfax reports possible odometer rollover in 2001. If this was a daily driver it would put the mileage at 176,000. ...
Dear fearhere, Thank you for your comment. This car was NOT a daily driver. Please see my response to delgadoj1616 from 5/8, below. I get the Carfax thing, and it takes into account average miles driven per year, especially in the absence of anything to the contrary. Carfax wasn't even a thing when I bought this car 30 years ago! This was a car we drove on sunny days for leisure. Some summers, less than 500 miles. The pics of my maintenence log on excel, will give you an accurare and factual picture. It's a great car! My knees just aren't up to driving a stickshift any longer. Sadly for me, that single feature is what makes this car so damn fun to drive!

Why not just put up for sale?
@delgadoj1616 – Is the mileage listed accurate? Or is it on the second turn of 100,000? ...
The mileage is accurate. We used this as a nice day driver in Ohio, so mostly April to November. We rarely put the top up. There are pictures of the excel spreadsheet I use to track & prompt maintenance (last 2 pics). With 3 cars to keep track of, I find it helpful. This will give you an overview of the life of this car, so far. This, of course, also comes with the car. I can email it to the new owner, or put it on a flash drive.
