1986 Ford Mustang LX 5.0

Description

The 5.0 already has a legendary reputation, and now it's beginning to become a valued classic. That's why it's important to take a closer look this 1986 Ford Mustang LX convertible. With a five-speed stick, well-presented colors, and loaded A/C interior, it's a well-cared for classic at an exceptional price.

You're looking at a factory 5.0 Mustang. So it looks quite nice all done in a sinister black. But being an LX car means it has a bit more sophistication to it. And you can see this in everything from the pinstripe to the ultra-clean factory wheels. But the exterior feature we love the most is how there's almost like a second tone of black on this car. The dark rub strip that hugs the entire body is a great distinguishing characteristic when it is as straight and complete as this one. And it coordinates so nicely with features like luggage rack and the trim within the taillights. In fact, when the roof is up, you create a cool, two-tone black scheme.

But as much as we like it with the roof up, convertibles are always meant to be open to the world. That's where the cream interior really makes an impact. Not only do we love how it matches the exterior pinstripe, but also the bright and clean interior color has a boldness that radiates from the black paint to create a total package that's distinct while still coordinating. 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 cruise control, power locks, and the 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, you can even enjoy this droptop in the summertime.

The 5.0 High Output V8 evolved each year, and 1986 is a pivotal year for Mustang fans. This is when they would introduce fuel-injection. With its great sound, bulletproof performance, and impressive torque, this injected V8 made it the pony car of choice for an entire generation. And while there is a huge and affordable aftermarket for these motors, this one remains largely unmolested. Instead, you see plenty of evidence of careful maintenance over the years, including a newer dual exhaust. This gives a throatier sound to the car, which makes us quite happy. After all, the five-speed manual transmission puts complete control of the V8 and its soundtrack in your hands. This is the perfect mix of performance car and highway cruiser. In fact, you'll love driving this drop top all day with its power steering, front disc brakes, and Goodyear Eagle GTII tires.

This Mustang 5.0 convertible comes with its full owner's manual packet and maintenance receipts. It's all part of a package that proves this cool-looking drop top is also a solid buy. So don't miss out, call today!
