So Bill Ford finally got what he wanted. And if a "red convertible Mustang with a throaty V8" is good enough for Bill, it ought to be good enough for us - especially when the 2005 Ford Mustang convertible is virtually identical to the smash hit 2005 coupe.

Identical twins never looked so good. And except for the roof and some changes to the frame, this convertible mimics the style and performance of the coupe. On its own, the Ford Mustang convertible -- coming to dealerships this spring -- has three things going for it: a good-to-great top, a smash hit design, and a price that will make it a popular convertible choice.
