Although many folks call these 7-Up Mustangsand#44; including us simply because thats how theyre identifiedand#44; the truth isand#44; the 7-Up thing never happened. They proposed itand#44; but cancelled at the last minuteand#44; leaving Ford with a few Emerald Green LX 5.0 convertibles laying around. On went the Special Edition badges and a legend was born. Whatever you want to call itand#44; an LX 5.0 ragtop is an awesome carand#44; and this one is not only very cleanand#44; but its almost totally unmodifiedand#44; making it very rare in the world of 5.0 Mustangs. The Emerald Green paint is its most distinctive featureand#44; and while it wasnt unique to these carsand#44; the combination of parts that make these cars what they are really stands out. Hard to believe that this car is 26 years old nowand#44; and it has a few signs of ageand#44; but were pretty sure the day will come when these are highly prized like some of the other special edition Mustangs Ford has createdand#44; so it pays to keep it original. It has obviously been nicely maintained its entire life and with so few milesand#44; you know it wasnt a daily driverand#44; even when it was new. The flanks are refreshingly free of door dings and the urethane bumpers are still in very good condition. Heckand#44; even the headlights are bright and clear and all the emblems are still in place. The bright white leather interior was the other part of the Special Edition Mustangand#44; and it reflects its low-mileage status quite nicely. The seat covers and carpets are newand#44; but the rest is original and in very good condition. The center console was painted white to help it blend inand#44; but the top of the dash and steering wheel are black to keep things easy on your eyes. These cars came loaded with just about every available optionand#44; including A/Cand#44; power windowsand#44; locksand#44; and mirrorsand#44; cruise controland#44; and a good-sounding AM/FM/cassette stereo. Must of the weather stripping has been replacedand#44; so it seals up well and theres a new white power convertible top that stows under a matching white vinyl boot that gives the green car a rather high-contrast look. Mustang logo floor mats are a nice touch and the reasonably-sized trunk looks almost new. Does the mighty 5.0 really need any introduction? The favorite of performance fans of all agesand#44; it launched an entire industry of aftermarket performance that would build on its already impressive 225 horsepower and 300 pounds of torque. Or notand#44; because this one is totally stock and still feels plenty frisky. The engine bay is nicely maintained and still wears almost all its original equipmentand#44; including the rubber boot on the distributor. It appears that the belt tensioner has been replaced and theres been some maintenance work like a new water pumpand#44; timing chainand#44; radiatorand#44; hosesand#44; oil pumpand#44; and the power steering pumpand#44; so its ready to drive. The only transmission available in these Special Edition convertibles was an AOD 4-speed automaticand#44; but its quick-witted and provides a towering overdrive so its relaxed on the highway. The LX 5.0 also received all the GTs suspension goodiesand#44; so its a competent corner-carver that rides well. Theres also an awesome V8 bark from the fresh dual exhaust system and all Special Edition LX convertibles wore GT-spec 15-inchturbine wheels and 225/60/15 rubber. While you wait for these cars to appreciateand#44; youll discover that theyre just a blast to drive. With lots of new parts and no questionable upgradesand#44; this is the one to own no matter what you choose to do with it. Call now! |
