GREAT FOX BODY 'VERT W/ 1600 MILES ON REBUILT/MODIFIED 5.0; AOD TRANS, COLD A/C!

1991 Ford Mustang LX Convertible 2-Door Description

With an alarmingly high mortality rate, nice Fox-body 5.0 Mustangs are getting harder to find every day. And while they were dirt cheap for many years, it appears that they've turned the corner and cars like this 1991 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 convertible will be future collectables much the way the earlier cars are.If you grew up in the '80s, you know and love this car. White paint with the simple LX bumpers make this car look clean compared to its GT siblings, and the hardware underneath is just as potent. This is a nicely preserved car with the usual upgrades, including a stout 5.0, so if you're looking for a good one, this is it. Paint quality is quite good considering that most of it is 25 years old (there are a few touch-ups here and there) and it's nice to see a Fox Mustang without a goofy cowl-induction hood and a big wing stuck on the back. Instead, they left it as the factory intended and as it turns out, the design is aging pretty well. The bumpers are in excellent condition, the headlights aren't cloudy, and the convertibles used a trunk rack to disguise the high-mounted center stop lamp, which looks great and has not faded. Just looking at it makes you all nostalgic, doesn't it?The LX's 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 doesn't look as though it's been baking in the sun for the past two decades. Nice gray carpets and matching vinyl door panels are equally nice, and even though the driver's seat lean back has a little bit of a tilt, the Mustang's chairs featured inflatable lumbar support, making them some of the most comfortable seats in the business. Other options include A/C, power windows, locks, and mirrors, cruise control, and a stout AOD 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. The upholstery remains in excellent shape, perhaps having been freshened not too long ago, and there's an aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo to replace what was surely an original cassette unit. A black power convertible top offers great contrast to the white bodywork and stows neatly under a black boot. There's not a lot of trunk space, but it is clean and tidy, more proof of a relatively easy life.The legendary 5.0-liter V8 needs no introduction, and once you slide behind the wheel and fire up this torque factory, you'll understand why these cars continue to be wildly popular today. But be warned, this one is not quite stock anymore. Rebuilt just about 1,600 miles ago, it's been bored out to 306 cubic inches, it features all the upgrades you'd want. The top end is an SVE kit that includes a custom intake, aluminum cylinder heads, and a Trick Flow Stage 1 camshaft. Supporting components include forged flat-top pistons, steel I-beam rods, a 70mm throttle body, and equal length shorty headers that feed a Flowmaster exhaust system. A custom BAMA chip makes it run like a stocker, and if you're familiar with Mustangs, you already know that this is a bulletproof combination. The AOD transmission is a great partner, with quick downshifts just a stab of the throttle away and the 8.8-inch rear end is equally stout. The underside is shockingly clean, so you know this car's had it easy, and flashy Weld Pro-Star wheels are stuffed into the fenders and carry 215/60/15 front and 225/60/15 rear performance radials.Like the early mustangs before them, the 5.0 has found a new generation of hobbyists who love the effortless torque and easy upgrades available in these cars. Why buy one and build it when this one is already done just the way you'd do it? Call today!
