Ford Mustang LX - 5.0L V8 - 3rd Gen (1987 to 1993)

The Ford Mustang LX 5.0L V8 (1987-1993) represents the sweet spot of the Fox Body era—lightweight, simple, and powered by Ford's legendary 5.0 HO V8. This LX model delivered 225 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque through either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic, offering serious performance in an unassuming package. What makes the LX 5.0 special is its "sleeper" status—without the contemporary Mustang GT's body cladding and spoilers, these cars were lighter and often quicker, making them favorites among enthusiasts and drag racers. During the 1987-1993 production run, over 2.6 million Fox Body Mustangs were built across all trims, with the LX 5.0 representing a significant portion of performance-oriented sales.

Notes: 7-UP, Summer, and Feature Editions have their own market. The Mustang LX with a 2.3L I4 is tracked separately. Vehicles with engine swaps and significant modifications are tracked in the Custom market.
