1990 Ford Mustang LX 7-UP Edition

Description

One of the greatest gauges for collect-ability 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 droptop 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.) Its rarity makes this one instantly desirable, but there's much more going here, too. It has been given a professional respray over its lifetime, which adds more luster back to this sunshine-friendly droptop. And this one has all the right premium features for the time – from the luggage rack on the trunk, to the 15-inch turbine-style GT wheels. 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 for long-haul comfort. Not only are these excellent seats covered in white leather in this special edition car, but also yours power adjusts to the perfect driving position. If this Mustang LX sounds like a great luxury grand touring machine, then you'll also appreciate features like 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, 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, bulletproof 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, and in fact, we believe it to be original to the car. This is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, which is also believed to be original. So you've got the perfect total package that combines great power, overdrive cruising, and nice driving features like front disc brakes.

Complete with plenty of 7-Up memorabilia to go with the legend, you're looking at 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.
