At $5,900, Would You Buy This 1999 Ford Mustang GT for Summer Cruising?

A 1999 Ford Mustang GT convertible with 134,000 miles is listed on Craigslist for $5,900, and the seller claims it’s a 35th Anniversary model—though it lacks the official trim and badging. The car sports Laser Red paint, a biscuit leather-and-vinyl interior, and a matching soft top.

Under the hood, it’s powered by the GT’s 4.6-liter SOHC Modular V8, rated at 260 horsepower and 302 pound-feet of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a live rear axle.

The seller says the Mustang has received regular maintenance, including oil changes every 3,000 miles, a recent clutch replacement, new tires, brakes, and wipers, and claims the air conditioning still works. The ad notes a clean title, adult ownership, and no history of abuse.

Cosmetically, the car shows minor wear on the seats, steering wheel, and shift knob, along with some front bumper scrapes and a dealer decal on the trunk lid. An aftermarket stereo is installed, but the speakers remain stock.

While the New Edge styling of the SN99 Mustang isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, the car’s condition and price point make it a tempting proposition for summer cruising or even a Fourth of July parade entrant.

The question remains: Is $5,900 a fair ask for this Fox-body Mustang, or does it fall short of expectations for a car of this pedigree?
