With an alarmingly high mortality rateand#44; nice Fox-body 5.0 Mustangs are getting harder to find every day. And while they were dirt cheap for many yearsand#44; it appears that theyve turned the corner and cars like this 1990 Ford Mustang GT convertible will be future collectables much the way the earlier cars are. If you grew up in the 80sand#44; you know and love this car. Dark charcoal paint with silver ground effects is the classic GT look and those cheese grater taillights always worked best with darker colors. This is a nicely preserved car with only light modifications and no history of abuseand#44; so if youre looking for a good oneand#44; this is it. Paint quality is pretty good considering that its more than 25 years old and its nice to see a Fox Mustang without a goofy cowl-induction hood and a big wing stuck on the back. The only visible exterior mods include the Cobra-style grille insert and clear parking light lensesand#44; but all that blends in so well most folks wont notice its not stock. The urethane ground effects arent cracked or distortedand#44; the doors still fit welland#44; and while there are a few signs of use and ageand#44; this car is a lot nicer than most of these that you see still cruising around. Just looking at it makes you all nostalgicand#44; doesnt it? The GTs interior is actually a great place to do some serious driving and it has aged quite well. Gray cloth upholstery was pretty cool back in the day and doesnt look as though its been baking in the sun for the past two decades. We suspect that the front seats have been reupholsteredand#44; but whoever did the work was exceptionally good at his job because it looks very OEM in every way. Dynamat throughout the car keeps out the noise and heatand#44; and nice gray carpets and matching door panels are equally well-preservedand#44; and the leather-wrapped airbag wheel is in shockingly good shape. Other options include A/Cand#44; power windowsand#44; locksand#44; and mirrorsand#44; cruise controland#44; and power lumbar support in the seats. A short-throw shifter is pretty much expected in a 5-speed 5.0and#44; and theres a kickin stereo system featuring an Alpine AM/FM/CD w/ Bluetooth head unitand#44; Alpine S series speakers and a JL Audio subwoofer in the trunk. Theres not a lot of trunk spaceand#44; but it is clean and tidyand#44; more proof of a relatively easy life. Theres also a power black convertible top that stows under the original gray boot. The legendary 5.0-liter V8 needs no introductionand#44; and once you slide behind the wheel and fire up this torque factoryand#44; youll understand why these cars continue to be wildly popular today. There are some minor bolt-ons like a BBK cold air induction systemand#44; a polished Edelbrock intakeand#44; MSD ignition systemand#44; and tubular exhaust headersand#44; so it runs well and still feels awfully fast on the street. The engine and transmission were both rebuilt at 88k miles and while they had it open they installed new roller rockers and a Comp Cams E303 cam for a little extra performance boost. Thanks to the giant aluminum radiator up frontand#44; it never complains about the summer heat and the BBK tubular strut tower braces front and rear and subframe connectors make a noticeable difference in chassis rigidity. The underside is shockingly cleanand#44; so you know this cars had it easyand#44; and flashy chrome Cobra R-style wheels are stuffed into the fenders and carry 245/45/17 performance radials. Like the early mustangs before themand#44; the 5.0 has found a new generation of hobbyists who love the effortless torque and easy upgrades available in these cars. Theyre not going to be this affordable for much longerand#44; so if youve been looking for oneand#44; this is your chance. Call today! |
