Default man, my 5.0 is a dog *pics last pg*
Its really kinda slow. the 4.10's woke it up quite a bit, but man its a pig still. No wonder they call them 5.slows.

the 302 H.O. started in 1982

anyway check this out OP

Only 1001 1983 GT convertibles were produced (993 for USA and 8 for Canada) according to the “1983 Mustang GT Convertible Registry” thus making them a rare find!
