Introduction
The convertible finally returned for
1983.
All Mustangs also received a redesigned
grille and taillights. In addition, engine choices
were shuffled up, mainly for the better.
The 3.3 L6 was dropped, and replaced with a
new 3.8 litre V6 rated at 112 bhp.
The 2.3 litre L4
turbocharged engine returned,
completely reworked and more reliable due to the use
of electronic fuel injection, and was rated at 145
bhp.
The big news was the replacement of
the old two-barrel carb on the 5.0 litre V8 with a
new four barrel
Holley carb which resulted in 175 bhp.
To handle this power, GT models used 205/70R14 tyres
in place of the previous 185/75R14s.
