1993 Ford Mustang Lx "triple White" 5.0 Limited Edition Convertible on 2040-cars

Okay, for starters, this is a collector's car. It has 40,525 original miles. The car, up until February 2013 (when I got it as a birthday present), was 100% stock. It is about as close to "mint condition" as you can get.

When I got the car in Feb, the first thing I did was add a pretty decent sound-system. I can't give you all the specs, but the head unit was replaced with a top-of-the-line Alpine (bluetooth, mp3, usb, phone, etc) and the speakers in the doors and back seat were replaced. A custom box and 10" (might be a 12") sub & amp were installed in the trunk. Interestingly enough, the geniuses at Best Buy (who had a blank check from me) forgot to put dash speakers in, so the dash speakers are currently disconnected. Anyway, the system sounds great. I can provide receipts for the $1700 I spent at Best Buy.

Then, a few months ago, I dropped off the car at a local specialty performance shop for a tune up, and they ended up replacing the radiator with a large electric 3-core version (I think I remember this correctly), and then I asked them to move on and replace the exhaust, so they added shorty headers, high flow catalytic converter H-pipe, and Flowmaster 2-chamber mufflers. It sounds great. They also added a host of other simple "bolt-ons", like K&N filter & mass air, etc etc, but I don't remember all of this off the top of my head. The total cost was $4200.

They didn't fix the brakes. I ordered a rear disc brake conversion kit, but got tired of waiting after 5 weeks and canceled that part. I would seriously recommend upgrading the brakes on the car when you get it. They work no problem, but just aren't what I would prefer.

A total of 1500 Limited Edition white LX convertibles were manufactured in 1993. I can assure you that there are no more than 1499 of them in existence today, since the one i bought when I was 16 (1996) was stolen and chopped to pieces. Saddest day of my life. This car is 1 of 1056 automatics, and it is in better condition than the car I had in the '90s.

But it does have a few issues that have developed since I got it:

1) the back driver's side slim window does not go up or down automatically. It can be moved up and down, and the motor still works, but I think that it jumped off track and needs to be corrected. I haven't had the time to deal with it, but again, the motor sounds to be working correctly.

2) the passenger's side electronics don't work that well. For example, you can use the switch on the driver's side door to operate the passenger windows, but you cannot operate the passenger window from the passenger seat. Again, the windows on the passenger side go up and down just fine, but not with the buttons on the passenger side.

3) the plastic molding around the driver's side interior door handle is somehow missing half of it. This is probably a few bucks to repair, but you should know about it.

4) the ash tray cover in the center console doesn't close or stay closed. Pretty standard for this car, but again, want you to know.

5) I rubbed up against the front-left bumper with my ATV and left a little rubber scuffing on the bumper. I buffed out most of it, but need a professional to get it back to normal. It's not broken at all, but could use a bit of touching up from someone that knows what they're doing. Chances are good that by the time you come by to see the car, this will be fixed, but it's a SLIGHT mark at the present moment.

Otherwise, the car starts, runs, shifts, etc etc etc in near perfect condition. The top goes up and down automatically without incident, doesn't leak, isn't cracked or falling apart. Everything on this car other than stated above is original, and looks that way too. The car looks and runs like a vehicle with 40,xxx miles on it. It's really amazing to drive...it's such a little car (it was much bigger when I was 16), and it's so sporty. I get compliments on it every time I leave the driveway, and it's really something different on the road today.

I'm not excited to sell it. My kids love it and I'll miss the top-down excitement this spring. But, I'm traveling quite a bit now on business out of the country and it might as well go to a new home where someone can enjoy it more than I am at the moment.

Thanks for reading and safe travels!
