Vehicle Description
The 5.0 already has a legendary reputation, and now it's becoming a
valued classic. That's why it's important to take a closer look
this 1988 Ford Mustang LX convertible. Not only does it have the
legendary fuel-injected V8, but also a five-speed stick, loaded A/C
interior, and true droptop appeal. And it's all offered for a value
price.
You're looking at a well-maintained Mustang convertible. The
factory-correct burgundy paint has the boldness of red with an
added hint of dark sophistication. And that's the right attitude,
because being an LX car means it has a bit more sophistication to
it. You can see this in details like the rear luggage rack and
pinstripe that matches the convertible top. Everything from the
straightness of the panels to the shine of the factory alloys
signal this has been a well-respected modern classic.
Not only does the pinstripe nicely accent the roof color, but also
the interior beige, too. With a color-matched convertible boot,
this one really has a well-coordinated look inside and out.
Everything remains in its stock appearance, including the
dual-spoke steering wheel and the original full gauge panel with
large speedo and tach. Plus, this one came loaded with amenities
such as power locks, and original AM/FM/cassette stereo. But the
features we think you'll love the best are the power windows and a
power convertible top. When used together, it means you don't have
to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a
wind-in-your-hair experience. And because the air conditioning is
blowing cold with modern R134a, you can even enjoy this open-top
experience in the summertime.

The engine bay has a terrific stock look, and the 5.0-liter motor
is believed to be original. With its great sound, bulletproof
reputation, and impressive torque, this fuel-injected V8 made it
the pony car of choice for an entire generation. While there is a
huge and affordable aftermarket for these motors, it's refreshing
to see one looking so well preserved and unaltered (right down to
the factory decals.) And more than just look good, this droptop
Mustang was built to enjoy. After all, the five-speed manual
transmission puts complete control in your hands of the V8's power
and soundtrack. Plus, you'll love driving this convertible all day
with its power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and sway
bars front & rear.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a modern classic of
distinction. So if you love a great deal on a great convertible,
don't miss this one.
