Vehicle Description
With just 42,897 actual miles in its rear view mirror, this 1993
Ford Mustang LX 5.0 looks and drives great - which should come as
no surprise. The rock-solid mechanical components on this sharp
looking drop top have not only powered legions of Mustangs over the
years but have also served as the foundation for countless
aftermarket projects due to their consistent dependability.
This '93 closed out the third generation of Mustangs, which had the
considerable responsibility of redirecting the model back toward
its driver-centric roots. It's a great looking ride - distinct
enough to offer the vibe of a classic yet modern enough that its
mere appearance confers the promise of some seriously enjoyable
driving. The teal paint covering its exterior is still its original
and, some 25 years later, presents exceptionally well, showing a
nice shine and no glaring blemishes. Take a look from up front and
you'll notice not only the absence of the normally encountered
chips and other mementos from the road, but also how the hood lines
up with the fenders to each side - the body alignment on this Ford
is actually strong throughout. The contrasting black trim
surrounding the cabin, as well as that of the luggage rack on the
deck lid, also looks absolutely great, sporting a deep black color
to indicate exposure to the elements has been kept to a minimum.
For those occasions when the weather puts an end to your open-air
driving, there's a power white convertible top standing by neatly
folded to raise up to protect you.
Inside the doors, the white leather interior looks just vintage
enough to set it apart from the present day, but still sports those
welcome touches that make for a comfortable driving experience. The
seating in both front and remain very sharp and the contoured shape
of the buckets provides a nice balance of comfort and support. The
carpeting is in good shape, and the addition of a pair of
contrasting Mustang floor mats up front is a nice touch. From the
center console on up to the dash area, you'll likely be impressed
with the consistently strong condition inside - there's no sign of
abuse anywhere, the white-faced gauges in the cluster look great
and function just as intended and the dash pad running across the
top is supple and shiny. Having a touch of modernity has its
benefits, too - there's a welcome collection of comfort and
convenience features on hand, including power door locks and
windows, air conditioning, and an AM/FM/CD stereo. The trunk area
in back looks as if it has seen no activity at all.
This Mustang is powered by a 5.0 H.O. electronically fuel-injected
V8 - a powerplant that's well known to both Mustang aficionados and
aftermarket modification enthusiasts. Its reputation for anvil-like
durability has been thoroughly reinforced over the years, so it
holds the promise of plenty of fun-filled future driving as it
teams with a 4-speed automatic transmission whose overdrive gear
really comes in handy to bring down RPMs at highway speeds. This LX
is a strong performer in all respects - it offers smile-inducing
acceleration and plenty of agility around corners and its power
brakes, featuring discs up front, bring it to prompt stops. It
rolls on a set of very sharp aftermarket mag wheels outfitted with
Sumitomo tires.
With its combination of classic charm and modern conveniences, this
1993 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 is a keeper. Call today!
