Has the Mustang always been available with a convertible top?

Question: Has the Mustang always been available with a convertible top?
I can't seem to find much information regarding Mustang convertibles in the late '70s. Were these convertible Mustangs rare?
Answer: Chances are, you haven't seen a late '70s Mustang convertible because Ford discontinued the convertible model in 1973.

Although many people think the Mustang has always been available with a convertible-top option, there was a time when it was not. It wasn't until 1983 that Ford decided to bring it back. These days, Ford touts the Mustang convertible as the number one selling convertible in the United States.
