1988 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 0 Sand Beige Coupe 360 V8 2 Speed Power Glide Auto

Description

The third-generation Mustang was produced by Ford from 1979 to 1993. Built on Ford's Fox platform (and is thus commonly referred to as the "Fox" or "Foxbody" Mustang) it evolved through a number of sub-models trim levels and drivetrain combinations during its production life. It underwent updates for 1987 and for a time seemed destined for replacement with a front wheel drive Mazda platform. However company executives were swayed by consumer opinions and the rear wheel drive Mustang stayed whil...e the front wheel drive version became the Ford Probe. Enthusiasts group the generation into two segments: the 1979-1986 cars with their quad headlight arrangement (manufactured in the United States) and the 1987-1993 cars with their aero composite headlamped front fascia styling. Production ended with the introduction of the fourth-generation Mustang (SN-95) for the 1994 model year. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1988 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 for consideration.
