I'll be 60 this July - and have my third Mustang, all convertibles.
First was a 1965 triple black convertible that I bought in college. Had the 289, 4 barrel, and 3 speed stick. Had to tow it home and do a rebuild on the upper part of the engine, new clutch, fix the wiring screw up the prior owner did (had the #5 plug firing for example rather than the #8 type of screw up so it backfired like mad). Paid only $50 for the car and drove it all through college - then sold it 3 years after graduating for $550.
Second was my 2006 triple black Pony convertible with white shelby superstripes. Put the Xcharger Xtreme on that and took it to the mid 12's at the track. Sold it in June with 203,000 miles on it after my wife convinced me it was time for a new project.
Now have the 2013 race red convertible MCA edition that CDC did a make over on as a promotion. This one will get a turbo eventually, but have to take my wife to Ireland first. I may throw a 100 shot on it this summer though and see what it does.

I just might be the oldest ONE here! So much fun not owning a Grandpa car. We have had 3 Mustang Convertibles and we love our new, 2013, FGB Premium V6. It has all the goodies I wanted to put on the 2009 V6 we had. Oh yes I am over 73 years old!
