1988 Ford Mustang LX

Description

Quick, affordable, and an unbeatable red-on-red color combination - this 1988 Ford Mustang LX's 5.0 V8 and ragtop body makes for an irresistible cruiser.

It's hard to go wrong with a red Mustang convertible. This is even the original paint still on the car! The panels are good, and the fit remains excellent, so you know this was well looked after. The headlight and taillight lenses are clean and clear, which is more evidence of a pampered life. The bumper mouldings that wraparound the sides still presents a rich, black luster, and the blue oval badges up front and out back are as vibrant as they were when this Mustang rolled off the assembly line 28 years ago! The final touch is the set of factory-correct alloy wheels that remain nice and shiny today.

When it comes to convertibles, the interior is often as important as the exterior. After all, when you lower the white folding top, you get to share the inside with the world. That's where the red interior really makes an impact. It has a boldness that is shade darker than the exterior to make it distinct while still coordinating. The cloth bucket seats are a welcomed sight in this soft top since they don't get as hot or clingy as vinyl does on sunny days. Everything remains in its stock appearance, including the dual spoke steering wheel and the original speedo and tach. Plus, this one came with amenities such as power convertible top, power windows, power locks, cruise control, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. There are also two boot covers to make this Mustang look show-worthy with the top down. Even the original air conditioning is in place, but it has been converted to modern R-134a to make sure you can keep the roof lowered longer in the warmer seasons.

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, impressive torque, and an aftermarket that could transform it into anything your wallet could afford. There's plenty of evidence of careful maintenance over the years, and the engine bay looks correct and unmolested. This is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, which is combined with power steering and front disc brakes to make a great all-day cruiser.

This Mustang 5.0 is the kind of interesting classic that makes people say, "Man, I haven't seen that in a while!" That's because most of the good ones are gone, but now's your opportunity to grab a great example (that even comes with the owner's manual) at a great price. Call today!!!
