Bought another one

[TTA89]

I have been looking for a convertible for the summer to help save miles off my daily work commute in the 2012 Mustang. I wasn't really looking for a Mustang but this came together last night and like most people I always wanted a fox body.

This one is a 1990 LX 5.0 5-speed stick convertible and it's also a 7-Up promo car which makes it green with a white top and the awful white interior, haha. The car came from Texas and the floor pans and suspension don't even have surface rust on them. The car is bone stock to the airbox except it has a flowmaster catback (which I'm starting to think is a factory option). It was repainted 7-8 years ago and looks pretty decent. It has 117k on it so it's been driven but still feels pretty good other than the flexible noodle chassis flex when you turn the wheel or drive over a bump.

I picked it up last night so the pictures are dark. It came with Pony 5 stars and I also got the original Turbines with decent tires on them. I'm planning to install subframe connectors and strut tower brace and then just drive it around and have some fun with it.

Pictures are from last night loading it on the trailer.

Congrats! Nice find. Looks to be in pretty good shape as far as can tell in the dark. Good luck with it. Hope to see you around Hudson with it!

ugh.....soooooooooo jealous.......I want a fox vert!!!

anyways, if you dont mind, what did you pay for the car?

congrats and hope to see it around this summer

I paid $5250, couple of shots in the light. It's an amazing difference getting out of a 2012 and into a 1990. These cars have come a long long way!

looks to be in decent shape, that a pretty good price for a TX car.

Best of luck with it, can't wait to see it at one of the shows this summer

The 7-up is one of my favorite Fox Body cars.

NICE!!, Now the driveway is full.

I put 80 miles on it today driving to work and out to lunch. Runs pretty good for a 22 year old car and sounds awesome with the flowmaster catback on it. It idles high around 1200-1400 when it's warm. I'll clean the IAC and TB this weekend and do the idle relearn and see if that fixes it. Other than that, I plan to put the top down and drive it work every sunny day this summer. :)

Love the 7-Up cars. That green is one of my favorite colors on any Mustang.
