Do you know how to drive stick? If so, you may be able to appreciate how it can make an even less-sporty V6 car 'feel' like more of a sports car, just cause you get to row your own gears and do some hard launches if you're in the mood. I drive a compact 4-cylinder hatchback, but because it's a manual, it's actually a lot of fun.

I'm not sure if the Mustang V6 convertible was even available with a manual tranny. As far as old ladies, you're probably right there, but even a model that has been well-cared for is OK, just not one that's been heavily modified or tuned up.

Keep posting though, I'm interested to hear what you end up getting and how you like it.
