1990 Ford Mustang LX Description

1990 Ford Mustang LX Convertible 7up Limited Edition.

This is a rare Mustang. It is a 2 owner California car with 63,801 original documented miles. It has a clean Californiatitle and auto check shows no accidents and no airbag deployment. I purchased this vehicle from a larger dealership in California that took it in on trade. I have enjoyed it this summer but I am out of space to store it and need to sell it. It appears to all be original. The air conditioner, power windows and top, radio, lights, cruise control, horn and power mirrors all work. Factory radio works but you can only see the screen at certainangles. The power door locks do not work, but in a two door I haven't missed them. The interior is in really nice shape. The white leather seats are soft and comfortable. There are a couple of light stains on the carpet that are hardly noticeable. There are no tears or holes anywhere in the interior. The original tonneau cover still fits nicely. The exterior of the car is nice as well. The paint is nice and shines great. It has the normal light scratches that are to be expected on a vehicle this age. There are no major dents or dings. The tires have about 65% tread.The car runs and drives great! I would drive this car anywhere. There is a car show poster and stand that come with the car. (see pics)

This car is sold through a dealership, however you will not pay any additional fees over the final price that is bid. Unless you live in the state of Utah, then sales tax of 7% of the final sales price will also need to be paid. This mustang is sold as is, where is. Buyer is responsible for all transportation costs and arrangements. The title is free and clear and in my possession. If you have any questions please email me.

The story behind the 7 Up Mustang is one of the more bizarre bits of Mustang history, which is saying something given the wide range of characters who have been involved in the nameplate's development over the years. Initially, only 30 7-Up Mustangs were meant to be produced — the namesake soft drink company had planned to give them away at the 1990 NCAA basketball finals. The pitch was simple: sink a ball from center court, and you could drive home one of the extremely limited-edition cars that night.

For reasons unknown, the 7 Up contest was canceled at the last minute. Although only two of the planned 30 cars had been produced, Ford decided to rebrand the cars, bump up production to 5,000 units and offer them as a special edition and unofficial commemoration the car's 25th anniversary.

The 7 Up Mustangs were LX convertibles equipped with the famousFox body era 5.0L V8 engine, delivering around 255 horsepower. All cars were painted with Ford's distinctive Deep Emerald Green clear coat metallic paint and featured a white leather interior and a white convertible top. Front fascia, outside mirrors and body side moldings were painted to match the green exterior. Every 7 Up edition Mustang also got the GT's 15-inch aluminum rims and a special-value package consisting of cruise control, A/C and a premium sound system with AM/FM radio and a cassette player.

Of the 4,103 that ended up being manufactured, 2,743 were equipped with automatic transmission and 1,360 had a stick. While hardly a bestseller, there's a lot to like about the 7 Up — besides being fast and stylish, it's a unique piece of Mustang memorabilia from an era when the iconic Ford brand finally found its footing again.

This mustang is being offered at no reserve, so bid to win. I am not interested in ending the auction early, so please do not ask.
