1990 Ford Mustang GT
VIN 1FACP45E7LF172733
What’s special about this listing
This 1990 Ford Mustang GT Convertible represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic American muscle cars from the revered Fox Body era. The 1987–1993 "Aero" facelift of the legendary third-generation Mustang refined the platform with aerodynamic styling cues, including two-piece headlights, a grill-less front clip, and sculpted bodywork that modernized the Fox platform for its final years before the SN95 redesign. According to the seller, this example is described as a highly original and unmolested specimen, benefitting from the 5.0L V8's legendary reputation as a favorite among enthusiasts—producing 225 horsepower when new through its electronic fuel injection system.
According to the seller, this GT Convertible has been thoughtfully upgraded with performance enhancements that complement rather than compromise its authenticity. The modifications include headers, MSD ignition, and a heat-wrapped intake—tasteful improvements that respect the car's original character while adding contemporary drivability. The deep Titanium Gray exterior paired with a black interior represents a sophisticated and period-correct color combination. Key characteristics include:
- Model: 1990 Ford Mustang GT Convertible—part of the post-facelift 1987-1993 generation
- Powertrain: 5.0L V8 (302ci) with automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive
- Originality: Described as highly original with ""Original & Highly Original"" condition status
- Mileage: Just 25,477 miles—exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age
- Condition: Described as having a clean CarFax with no accidents reported and all functional options
- Enhancements: Headers, MSD ignition, and heat-wrapped intake per seller description
Market research for the 1987-1993 Ford Mustang GT indicates strong collector interest in low-mileage, original examples. Recent comparable sales of similarly equipped and preserved GT convertibles have ranged from approximately $16,500 to over $33,000, with the CLASSIC.COM Market Benchmark for this segment at $21,371. The combination of exceptional preservation, minimal mileage, and tasteful performance upgrades places this vehicle in an elevated tier of the collector market—particularly significant as these third-generation Mustangs represent the final chapter of the rear-wheel-drive, pushrod V8 era before Ford's dramatic 1994 redesign.
