Will Ford Show Off Convertible Mustang GT350 in Chicago?
How is it that even though we’ve already seen both the GT350 and GT350R, there are still rumors flying around the automotive universe about more versions coming soon? Like those folks wondering why Ford lacked a convertible version in the first place?
First off, those people are idiots. Making a convertible GT350 is perhaps the dumbest thing on the planet. Ford went to all the trouble of building the most track-capable Mustang ever. Why in the heck would they saddle it with more weight and a less-rigid chassis?
It’s just pure insanity. And it’s insanity that seems to be getting traction for the dumbest reason.
According to the upcoming Chicago Auto Show website, the Ford GT350 Mustang comes up as one of the tags under the “Convertibles” section of the “Vehicles on Display.” This could either be a typo, or as many conspiracy theorists are led to believe, a sign of a convertible version of the new GT350 coming to the show.
Here’s my problem with this: we watched closely as Ford tested the new GT350 and GT350R. Not once did we see a single convertible version. Sure, Ford kept the Ford GT under wraps without anyone knowing about it, but that’s the GT, not a Mustang.
What do you think? Would you buy one if this car actually turns out to be true? Do you think a convertible GT350 is a good idea?
