I gotta chime in here, in 1997 i bought a new GT convertible, 5 speed, it was a real lemon and a dog performance wise, but it had a great a/c, room for 2 little kids in the back, and sounded great. it also sprung a leak in the intake manifold, needed a new gearbox and then alwasy sifted like a truck even with a linkage package, the seat wore out, the window seals and exterior trim broke of fell off each month, and watch out in the rain.
I have always had a soflt spot for mustangs, had a gt convertible , 1989 also. that one was also mechanically junk, but fun. these are fun cars that don't cost much and you can mod them in a million ways, like miatas...they are also inexpensive to buy, new and used and are an american icon...but quality...not. the cobra i drove in 1999 had irs and that helped alot.
