Vehicle Description
One of the greatest gauges for collectability is rarity combined
with a great story, and this 1990 Ford Mustang LX convertible "7-Up
edition" has exactly that. So when you can find a great V8 drop-top
with true distinction, and it's this affordably priced, then you
know you're looking at a special deal.
The legend of these 7-Up cars was born out of a special promotion
by the soda company. Dark Emerald Green and white roofs were a
special package intended for an NCAA sweepstakes. But the program
was canceled at the last minute, but Ford liked it so much, they
offered it as a special package for 1990. It's believed that only
about 4,100 convertibles were built (around 3% of total Mustang
production that year.) Its rarity makes this one instantly
desirable, but there's much more going here, too. This is a
two-owner car with what looks to be the original factory paint
application. The finish has been treated with care so that this one
still has an emerald-like shine. They also gave them the right
premium features for the time - including the luggage rack on the
trunk. And don't you just love how the 15-inch turbine-style wheels
were upgraded to white to go with the roof and side trim? Also,
don't forget about the history. 1990 was the Mustang's 25th year,
and so these limited edition convertibles are often treated as the
unofficial anniversary edition vehicles.
The power soft top folds down to reveal a white interior. So this
special package has the great green and white combo no matter if
you're buttoned up or open to the world. The Mustang's bucket seats
were some of the most comfortable of the era, and they include leg
bolstering and a driver's power lumbar adjustment for long-haul
comfort. Plus, the overall condition is just another sign of proper
care and respect over the years. If this Mustang LX sounds like a
great luxury grand touring machine, then you'll also appreciate
features like cold-blowing air conditioning, cruise control, power
mirrors, power locks, and the factory premium AM/FM/cassette
stereo. It even has provisions for desirable features like power
windows. While this one comes with the security of a driver's air
bag, the tilt steering column means it doesn't block the view of
the full gauge panel, including the large speedo and tach.
The 5.0-liter electronic fuel-injected V8 under the hood is the
reason the Mustang was the pony car of choice for an entire
generation. Great sound, hardy performance, and impressive torque
made it into a legend. So on a classic like this, we are quite
pleased to have it looking so factory-correct. This is mated to a
stout but smooth four-speed automatic transmission. There's also
power steering, power brakes w/front discs, and sway bars front &
rear. So you've got the perfect total package that combines V8
power, overdrive cruising, and nice all-around driving.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at a great cruising
convertible that has huge future potential. So at a price like
this, the only way you can go wrong is if you miss out on this
deal. Call today!!!
