1990 Ford Mustang LX Convertible 7up Edition

Vehicle Description 1990 Ford Mustang $25,000 "1990 Ford Mustang LX Convertible 7up Edition ""The Anniversary 7up convertible was a special edition car for 1990 only. The car was originally developed as a promotional ""give away"" for the 7up brand. The plan was to build 30 cars for the competition, but after only 2 had been built, the whole promotional scheme collapsed in a heap. In the end, Ford went ahead with production, but for an entirely different reason. It became known colloquially as the ""7up Mustang."" Mustangspecs.com For consignment, a 1990 Ford Mustang LX convertible 7up edition showing 69,703 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a Delaware title exemption. The car comes with a Marti report showing this is one of 4,103 limited edition 7up convertibles produced. This one was first sold at Al Bennett Ford in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Exterior There's no mistaking the Deep Emerald Green Metallic and white canvas top and Ford loved the color so much, they wanted to make it non exclusive to the 7-Up venture, causing a rift in the deal and cutting short their plans to build 30,000 examples. Meanwhile, it has all the cues of a five liter LX, one of the best known sleeper performance cars of all time! The color contrast is striking and accented by a white pinstripe on the waistline. It's a fairly pedestrian design, but those in the know will spot those big, straight exhaust pipes out the back and the three part tail lights which provide some street cred. The paint is miles deep and contrasted also by the 15-inch Turbine wheels are wrapped in 225/60R15 tires with a late 2021 date code. Imperfections include some stains on the canvas top, inclusions on the front and rear bumpers, peeling paint and surface rust on wheel arch, chips, scuffs, and an area of rough surface. Interior True to the 7up logo, white is the color of choice on the inside and the smooth door panels with black switchgear would surely find favor with Robert Van Winkle as it does with us as both present cleanly and have gray, pleated map pockets below. All seats, including the front buckets and rear bench, are in great shape and present cleanly, not an easy feat with white leather. Up front, an air bag creates a large center in the black steering wheel, but the thumb button still appears and it fronts a simple, analog dash that takes us right back to 1990. Side pods introduce more switchgear and the center stack has A/C dials and an AM/FM/Cassette player in black that contrasts with the white dashboard. Ford's curve shafted shifter rises from the console and then white plastic takes over to create store indents and house the hand brake, all in very good shape. Gray carpet covers the floor and the trunk is finished in gray cloth panels and houses a special edition duffle bag. Drivetrain Under the hood, a clean rendition of Ford's venerable 5.0 liter V8, capable of 225 horsepower and tied to a T5 5-speed manual transmission that routes power to the Ford 8.8"" in back with 3.08 gears and Trac-Loc. Undercarriage Clean, driver quality conditions are found underneath where factory headers lead to dual exhaust running through FlowMaster mufflers, then exiting with the telltale tips. Power brakes are here as front disc and rear drum and suspension consists of coil springs at both ends with a 4 link in back. Drive-Ability Gotta love the lightweight LX and its ability to plant the power to the tarmac, as this one does, with fun stick on board to liven the experience even more. The green paint glistens in the sun as we make our way around and the little Foxbody does everything well. We note the driver's power mirror does not work but all other functions on this limited edition operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. Instantly recognizable, this 7up version maintains its striking green and white configuration and is a solid performer. The icing on the cake is that the top comes down and now you're practically riding bareback on this pony as you shift through the gears and show off your bright white interior. LX Foxbodies are already collectible; the limited edition of this one makes it more so. 1FACP44E0LF160490 1-USA F-Ford Motor Company A-Passenger Car C-Manual Belts, Driver's Airbag P44-Mustang LX Convertible E-5.0 Liter EFI 225hp V8 0-Check Digit L-1990 F-Dearborn, MI Assy Plant 160490-Sequential Unit Number Classic Auto Mall is home to more than 1,000 classic and collectible vehicles for sale via consignment in a climate controlled 336,000-square foot showroom (that's more than 8 acres!).
