1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible — Supercharged 5.0 V8, 5-Speed Manual, Saddle Leather Interior

The 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible occupies an interesting place in Mustang history. It was the second model year of the SN95 generation, a platform Ford built around a substantially redesigned body and improved chassis compared to the outgoing Fox-body. The 5.0-liter V8 was in its final year for the GT in 1995 — Ford replaced it with the 4.6-liter modular engine for 1996 — which makes this a closing chapter on the pushrod small-block era that Mustang enthusiasts associate with decades of aftermarket development, tuning knowledge, and proven performance. That history is exactly what makes the 5.0 such a popular platform for forced induction.

This particular 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible goes well beyond the factory configuration. Someone invested serious money in the engine bay. A Kenne Bell twin-screw supercharger sits on top of the 302, which is a meaningful distinction from the more common centrifugal supercharger setups. Twin-screw blowers build boost at lower RPM, which means the power comes on early in the rev range rather than at the top end. The result is a very different character than a Vortech or Paxton — stronger, more immediate torque from around town speeds. Paired with an MSD ignition system, cold air intake, and sequential fuel injection, the engine package was built to support that added cylinder pressure correctly. This is not a bolt-on-and-hope setup; it is a coordinated combination of components.

Beyond the engine, the car received chassis and suspension work that shows someone understood where the stock SN95 needed help. Sub-frame connectors address the inherent flex in the unibody convertible structure — a known weakness on this platform that makes a measurable difference in how the car feels and handles under hard acceleration. Add Edelbrock rear shocks and Cobra disc brakes at all four corners, and this 1995 Ford Mustang GT Convertible is equipped to use its power without immediately running out of chassis underneath it.
