The Fox Body Mustang became one of Ford's defining performance cars
of the 1980s, but this example has a much rarer story. It is a 1987
Mustang ASC McLaren, number 033 of only 479 produced that year,
combining Mustang 5.0 power with a coachbuilt two-seat convertible
conversion.
The ASC McLaren story began when American Sunroof Corporation
teamed with McLaren Engines to create a more exclusive
Mustang-based performance car. For the convertible, ASC took a
Mustang LX and extensively reworked the body into a purpose-built
two-seater. The rear seat disappeared, the windshield area and
convertible structure were modified, and distinctive bodywork,
interior pieces, and trim separated the finished McLaren Mustang
from a standard Mustang convertible.
This car wears Guards Red with a black cloth convertible top and
unique Grey leather ASC McLaren bucket seats. ASC McLaren door
panels, a rear-seat delete, smoke-tinted exterior lenses, and the
distinctive ASC McLaren front fascia preserve much of the
conversion's personality. A Blaupunkt digital head unit adds
FM/AUX/MP3/Bluetooth capability.
Under the hood sits Ford's 5.0-liter High Output V8, paired with a
4-speed automatic transmission. Power steering, power brakes, and
power windows add everyday convenience. Black 17-inch honeycomb
wheels with polished lips and McLaren caps complete the stance. The
car shows 115,495 original miles.
For anyone searching for a convertible Fox Body Mustang, this is a
chance to own a much less common chapter of Mustang history. With
only 479 built in 1987, this ASC McLaren offers the familiar 5.0
experience wrapped in one of the era's most distinctive Mustang
conversions.
