Hemmings Find of the Day – 1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0

Published by Mike on April 30, 2015

Ford’s third-generation Mustang was built from 1979 through 1993, meaning that used examples remain somewhat plentiful. Low-mileage and relatively unaltered V-8 third-gens are a rare find, however, which is why this 37,000-mile 1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 caught our eye. Yes, we know the wheels are from a 1991 Mustang, and the current owner is clear that a few changes have been made in the name of performance. For the detail-obsessed, none of these bolt-ons are irreversible, and most of the stock parts are included in the sale. It’s not a show-quality car, but as drivers go, this appears to be much better than most. From the seller’s description:

1990 Ford Mustang LX 5.0: This is a 37,000 original mile car that has been kept mostly stock (including the radio) – with the exception of a few things. It’s very clean and in great condition – not perfect, but probably one of the cleaner Foxes I’ve seen.
– 5.0 with pulleys, Ford Racing headers and Ford Racing wires. Newer Motorcraft battery.
– 5-speed transmission with Pro 5.0 short throw shifter.
– Flowmaster stainless exhaust, but also have full original exhaust.
– 4:10 gears
– Interior is in perfect condition, with no rips, tears or stains in the seats or carpet.
– Everything works as it should.
– All parts were on the car already when I bought it.
I have a strut tower brace, stainless headers and other factory original parts that will be included in the sale
