According to Thule, the OutWay # TH45JV is indeed a fit for your 1996 Mustang Convertible.

You'll be struck by how easy the OutWay is to install and remove, especially if you've ever had to struggle with a strap mounted carrier before. Instead of the hard to use 4- 6 buckle and strap arrangement used by other racks, the OutWay uses only 2 retractable cables that spool in and out with the twist of a knob. This allows the rack to be installed or removed with ease.

If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
