Built in April of 1989 and delivered just in time for spring, this Mustang is a true representation of an era when these cars were in incredibly high demand. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Ford simply could not keep them on showroom floors. Today, with many examples heavily modified or worn, finding a well-preserved survivor like this has become increasingly rare.
What sets this Mustang apart is its originality. This is an untouched survivor, presented much as it would have been when new in 1989. Finished in a rich burgundy exterior over Ford’s iconic red plaid interior, it captures one of the most recognizable and desirable combinations of the time, now highly sought after by collectors.
Under the hood is the legendary 5.0 litre 302 V8, an engine that helped define the Mustang’s reputation for accessible performance. Paired with the desirable 5-speed manual transmission, this drivetrain delivers an authentic and engaging driving experience. The engine compartment remains highly original, free from modifications that often diminish collector value, and the car performs just as it would have when new.
The interior is equally impressive, retaining its original character with the distinctive red plaid upholstery. It remains in excellent condition and is equipped with period features such as power lumbar support, adjustable headrests, and factory leg extensions for added comfort. A modern sound system has been discreetly incorporated, and a new set of 5.0 branded floor mats has been added to help preserve the near new-looking original carpeting.
The exterior paint and body are in exceptional survivor condition, showing beautifully with minimal imperfections. The power convertible top is equally well-preserved and functions as intended. Overall, this is a remarkably clean and honest example that would be difficult to replicate today.
Underneath, the car presents with a clean, well-maintained appearance, showing light, appropriate patina consistent with careful ownership and low wear. There are no signs of rust, further reinforcing the quality of preservation.
For anyone seeking a fun, affordable entry into the collector car world, this Mustang convertible offers originality, style, and driving enjoyment in one compelling package.
