Exterior

The Oxford White (9L) exterior is in wonderful condition. As one can see in the photos the finish has a terrific gloss, deep shine, and smooth finish. The convertible top is in great condition overall with no holes or rips or frayed edges. Please note the car still has the correct glass rear window, not the cheaper aftermarket replacement. Both doors open and shut well. The original Hurricane wheels are in excellent condition with no curb rash and a good finish. The tires have plenty of life left and are correctly sized 225/60R15. There are no major imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the photos. There may be other tiny blemishes around the car that were too faint to show up in the pictures, but nothing that is really noticeable from a few feet away. This Mustang has NO RUST issues. As one can see in the many photos of the underside of the car, it is clean underneath. We have included specific photos of the rear spring mounts, rockers, lower quarter panels, and the area's most prone to rust to show how nice this car looks.

Interior

The Smoke Gray (PG) interior in this Mustang is in outstanding condition. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are clear. The dash and console are in great condition with no cracks or sun damage. The seats are in great condition with no holes, stains, or split seams. There is one small spot of wear on the lower left corner of the driver seat. The seat is not overly worn in the typical area on the bolster where the driver gets in and out. The original radio works and gets good reception. Most importantly, the dash has never been cut or modified for an aftermarket installation. The carpet is great condition for its age with no major stains, holes, tears. The carpet on the door panels also looks great. The door panels themselves are in excellent shape and the door pulls are solid and intact. The truck is clean and nicely detailed with the original carpet and spare cover. The original space saver spare is still with the car. The jack and jack handle are still with the car. This Mustang has never been smoked in; there are no burn marks and no aroma of cigarettes.

Mustang interiors from this era are not known to wear well, especially for a convertible, and the fantastic condition of this interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention this car has received throughout its life and another great verification of the low original mileage.

Mechanical

This Mustang seems to be in great mechanical condition. The 5.0 engine starts right away every time, runs well, and idles smoothly. The car drives great and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds. In the video in this ad one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight, and going through some curves. Please note that there are no vibrations or strange noises and the car performs quite well overall. The brakes are responsive and do not pull to one side or the other. The transmission is tight and does not pop out of gear. The clutch feels good and doesn't slip. There is no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. The car runs cool and does not overheat. Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and correct as one can see in the photos.

The exterior lights work as do the dash lights, indicators, wipers, power windows, power locks, and remote trunk release. Both power mirrors work in all four directions. The blower for the heater and a/c works on all speeds. Even detailed items like the key buzzer, trunk light, and glove box light all work. There are no "check engine" or other warning lights that stay on. The power convertible top also works well, the complete operation going up and down can be seen in the video. The a/c does not blow cold. The car has a Flowmaster exhaust with a very healthy exhaust note as one can hear in the video. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive this car, especially with the manual transmission and the top down on a beautiful day.

Overall Condition

Overall, this 1988 Mustang GT is in fantastic driver condition. The low miles, the manual transmission, the beautiful original color combination, and the excellent overall condition make this car especially important and hard to duplicate. It is very hard to find a Mustang GT from this era that is still in great original condition with low mileage as most were used and abused. This Mustang always gets a ton of attention driving down the road. It is apparent that the vehicle has been well taken care of by its previous owners. The prices of Fox body Mustangs increased considerably over the past several years. They are secure and wise investments for a collector. One could easily enjoy this vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase price with minimal effort.
