1990 Limited Edition Mustang "7-Up" 5.0

Description for Ford Mustang 1990

The car has been immaculately maintained and cared for over its entire lifespan. It is a limited edition 7up promotional car that became the 25th anniversary mustang when 7up backed out of the deal. This is only one of 1360 factory manual transmissions manufactured. It has some performance modifications listed below and all the original parts (wheels included) come with the car. I am the second owner (my father was the first). I have enjoyed this car for the last 28 years and due to some life changes, it is time to pass the baton to someone else to enjoy. I am open to fair and reasonable offers.

In listing the car, I found out that the dealer entered the incorrect mileage when they serviced it back in 2013. At that time the mileage was 38k, not 138k. I am working to get this resolved.

• - 2 Owner (1st was my father)

Overview

In 1990, Ford desired to increase the sales and visibility of the Mustang convertible, now 4 years since the last major update. They introduced the Deep Emerald Jewel Green 5.0 LX convertible. This car became the basis on which the later limited edition convertibles were created.

All of these limited editions started life out as LX coupes (as all productions convertibles were) and were sent to Car & Concepts to have the roofs removed and special white tops installed. All the cars had Preferred Equipment Package (245A) and the Special Edition Package (562) installed. The 562 package consisted of Deep Emerald Jewel Green metallic paint, color keyed body side moldings and mirrors, white leather Mustang GT style seats, white interior trim (dash, door panels, armrests, rear seat), and the Mustang GT's 15" turbine wheels (instead of the 10 hole LX wheels). The only other options were Automatic Transmission, rear axle ratio, and an engine block heater.

These limited edition Mustangs are sometimes called the "7-UP" cars. The color and option package originally came about for a co-promotion with 7-UP. As part of a planned $20 Million in prizes, 30 of these cars were to be given away following the NCAA Final Four championship in April, 1990. A heavy amount of promotional and advertising displays featuring the car were to be displayed nationwide. Unfortunately, the whole deal fell through and 7-UP never ended up promoting the cars, for what reason is still unknown. The 30 cars ended up going to 7-UP employees in an internal contest.

The most reputable estimate on how many of these cars were produced is 4103 with 261 of them built for export. Of those, 2743 came with automatic transmissions. This car is one of 1360 original factory manuals.
