2001 Ford Mustang GT Convertible — Dual Exhaust, 5-Speed, White over Tan Leather Why This Car Is Special The 2001 Ford Mustang GT Convertible sits near the end of the New Edge generation, a body style that debuted in 1999 and represented a significant visual departure from the Fox-body and SN95 cars that preceded it. The sharper creases, pronounced hood scoop, and more aggressive front fascia gave the Mustang GT a look that held up well throughout its production run — and still reads as distinctly Mustang today. For the 2001 model year, Ford continued refining the package, and the GT convertible with a five-speed manual is one of the more engaging configurations available from this era. What makes this particular 2001 Ford Mustang GT Convertible worth paying attention to is the combination of low mileage, manual transmission, the correct GT engine, and a color pairing — Oxford White over tan leather — that ages well and suits the open-air body style. The VIN confirms this car was built as a GT convertible with the 4.6-liter V8, not a V6 with a GT appearance package, which matters when you're buying a used Mustang. That distinction is worth verifying, and here it checks out. Features List - 4.6L 2-Valve V8 engine - 5-Speed manual transmission - Convertible with power-operated soft top - Cold air intake - Dual exhaust - GT alloy wheels - Hood scoop - Leather bucket seats - Center console - Tachometer - Power windows - Power door locks - Power steering - Power disc brakes - Air conditioning - Cruise control - Tilt steering column - Low miles Mechanical The heart of this 2001 Ford Mustang GT is the 4.6-liter two-valve modular V8, which Ford rated at 260 horsepower for the 2001 model year. This engine replaced the 5.0-liter pushrod V8 that Mustang fans had known for decades, and it was not universally loved at first. Over time, the 4.6 two-valve earned a solid reputation for durability and a broad powerband that made the car genuinely usable on a daily basis. It also became a strong platform for modification, with a well-developed aftermarket behind it. This car has a cold air intake already fitted, visible in the engine bay photos. The polished intake tube with blue couplers is characteristic of a quality aftermarket unit, and it gives the 4.6 a noticeably improved induction sound under throttle while improving airflow over the stock airbox. The dual exhaust has also been upgraded, and from the underside photos you can see the system exits with a pair of larger round tips tucked just outside the rear bumper — a clean, period-correct modification that adds exhaust note without going overboard. The five-speed manual transmission is the T-45 unit Ford paired with the 4.6 GT during this era. It is the correct gearbox for drivers who want to be involved in the experience rather than just pointed at a destination. Combined with low mileage, this drivetrain should have a significant amount of life remaining. Power steering and four-wheel disc brakes round out the mechanicals. Interior Step inside this 2001 Ford Mustang GT Convertible and the tan leather interior is in notably clean condition throughout. The bucket seats show the characteristic New Edge Mustang GT seat design, with good lateral support and the kind of low seating position that makes the car feel planted without feeling cramped. The tan leather holds up well in this configuration — it neither shows dirt as readily as lighter colors nor absorbs heat the way dark interiors do in a Florida convertible, which is a practical consideration worth noting. The center console runs between the seats and houses the shifter in the correct position for a manual car. Gauges include a tachometer, which is standard on the GT and keeps engine information in front of the driver where it belongs. The door panels are clean, with the power window switches mounted in the armrest cutout, and the sculpted design of the panel itself is one of the better interior details
