We see our share of tidy Fox-Body Mustangs here at Barn Finds, but this 1990 LX is something a bit different. It is an original survivor that appears to need nothing and presents superbly. It has a genuine 30,000 miles on the clock and would suit the most discerning buyer. The LX is located in Hernando, Florida, and listed for sale here on Craigslist. The owner has set the sale price at $9,400 but may entertain offers or a cash + trade deal. I have to say a big thank you to Barn Finder Pat L for spotting this gem for us.

Finished in Oxford White, this Mustang makes a positive first impression. Its overall presentation is extremely good for its age, and it appears to need nothing. The paint holds an excellent shine, with no visible flaws or defects. It cloaks panels that are laser straight and plastic trim that shows no evidence of cracking or UV deterioration. The owner doesn’t mention any issues with rust in this classic, and there is nothing visible in the supplied photos. The glass is in excellent condition, and the owner has made one cosmetic change to the exterior. He removed the original wheels and substituted a reconditioned set of 1991 Mustang GT wheels in their place. These wear tires with less than 100 miles, and the original wheels are included in the sale.

The positive vibes continue when we open the doors and take a look around inside this Mustang. It is a sea of red vinyl and cloth, and presents exceptionally well. There is no visible wear or any problems that are worth noting. The outer edges of the front seats are in excellent condition, as is the carpet. The plastic and dash have not developed any problems due to UV exposure, and the rear seat looks like it has never been used. There have been no modifications to this interior, with the original radio/cassette remaining intact. The owner says that this works perfectly, which is a bit of a rarity today. Other optional equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, and cruise control. As with the cassette player, everything works as it should.

Unfortunately, the owner doesn’t supply any engine photos. This is also when we may lose a few of our readers. Don’t expect to lift the hood and find a V8 in this classic. The engine bay is occupied by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 88hp. That power finds its way to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission, giving this Mustang potential of covering the ¼ mile in 19.4 seconds. The seller emphasizes that while this isn’t a high-performance classic, it can easily achieve 30mpg. The car has a genuine 30,000 miles on the clock, although the owner doesn’t indicate whether he holds verifying evidence. He says it runs and drives well and is a turnkey proposition for its next owner.

This 1990 Mustang LX is unlikely to generate excitement at the Traffic Light Grand Prix. However, it should still attract admiring glances wherever it goes due to its presentation. The owner describes its overall condition as close to as-new, and the supplied photos seem to support this. If a buyer is not solely focused on performance, it should provide a relaxed driving experience. The lack of a V8 will impact its ultimate value, but I won’t be surprised if this Mustang heads to a new home very soon.
