Vehicle Description
When a listing leads with the word "survivor", it often includes a
few caveats. Usually, the survivor in question is a 1960s or 1970s
classic from the so-called Golden Age of Muscle Cars. Often,
survivor means varying degrees of originality, where said car has
been repainted, modified or selectively repaired. But sometimes,
the term is perfectly delineated to represent a car like this crisp
Mustang GT. Believed to be all-original with the exception of
subtle red pinstriping, this fine Fox Body is an up-and-coming
classic that's perfectly priced for an enthusiast who's looking to
break big in the collector car world. Searching for some choice
analog metal to preserve and enjoy? Check out this awesome
Ford!
PINSTRIPED PARADIGM
Throughout the 1980s Ford worked with a new 'Aero' look that
brought sharp angles, clean profiles and an array of smoother
surfaces to the company's entire passenger car lineup. For the
Mustang, that meant a classic 2+2 shape which rode on a whittled
stance. And, although Dearborn's corporate influence was becoming
more obvious, a mix of chiseled lines and aggressive bolt-ons
allowed the car to keep its unique identity. Sold through Buffalo,
New York's Basil Ford, this low-mileage GT was originally purchased
by a General Motors employee. Apparently that employee wasn't too
happy with the third gen Camaro, so he decided to buy a Mustang and
enjoy it sparingly. Circa 2014, the car was passed to a second
owner who, likewise, was based in New York and, likewise,
fastidiously maintained his new investment. In 2016, the coupe was
passed to its third and present owner who highlighted its rich Ford
Black single-stage with some tasteful red tape stripes. And today,
those stripes are believed to be the only modification this
4,952-mile time capsule has ever received.
5.0
In keeping with vaunted Mustang tradition, 1990's most popular
engine choice was the venerable 5.0 liter Windsor V8. While this
mill made its first appearance in the budget-minded Fairlane, it
eventually became a trusted ally on the highway, drag strip and
road course. Like the rest of this Ford, the storied powerplant is
immaculately preserved, starting easily, idling smoothly and
exhibiting strong acceleration. Under the car, a smooth AOD 4-speed
sends power to a familiar, 8.8-inch axle, which is finished with
mild, 2.73 gears and a posi-traction differential. That pumpkin
pushes a factory suspension that remains completely unaltered.
Factory power steering proves handy in the twisties. Standard power
front disc and rear drum brakes provide competent stops. There's an
original true-dual exhaust system, which stacks small catalytic
converters in front of Ford-branded mufflers. And everything rolls
on attractive turbine alloys, which twist vintage 225/60VR15
Goodyear Eagle VR60s.
COMFORT & CONVENIENCE
Between the doors, a handsome Ebony cloth interior offers a great
balance between daily and high performance needs. Original bucket
seats are firm and supportive, showing minimal overall wear.
Between those seats, a slim console centers a premium Ford tape
deck between recharged air conditioning and a simple shifter. The
car's stylish, monochromatic dash is in great shape and free of
cracks and scratches. In front of the driver, a black, Ford-branded
steering wheel laps convenient Cruise Control. And factory options
include power windows, power door locks and dual electric
mirrors.
While this Ford might not be the rarest Mustang ever produced, time
has greatly increased its exclusivity. This has to be one of the
truest, lowest-mileage Fox Body Stangs in existence. Become a part
of the 5.0 family, don't miss out on this awesome GT!
