When it comes to Fox bodies, you can sometimes grow weary of seeing low mileage Cobras pop up time and again. It’s actually refreshing to see a standard GT like this 1993 model appear with next to no miles and in spectacular condition. I would wager an example like this, with just 6,200 miles on the clock, is even rarer than the “typical” low mileage Cobra. It also helps that it has a spectacular color combination, the preferred 5-speed manual, and no modifications. The seller has listed it here on craigslist for $45,000 and claims to have all documentation and associated paperwork to go along with it.
The Mustang GT in the early 1990s was the epitome of a Radwood-era enthusiast car. 5-spoke wheels, strakes across the taillights, a factory body kit with aggressive cladding all the way around, and extremely basic materials throughout the cabin (we hadn’t yet graduated to the era of needing soft-touch surfaces everywhere you looked.) In short, the Fox body GT was the poster child of the 1990s, a performance car we could all reasonably attain, even while the walls of our bedroom had a picture of the Lamborghini Countach. As someone who graduated high school around the year 2000, I can tell you they were still quite popular at that point in time.
The interior of this Mustang is in spectacular condition, as you’d expect for this sort of mileage. The gray cloth seats show next to no wear and tear, and the same goes for every other touchable surface. The seller reports that equipment includes a sunroof, air conditioning, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a Traction-Lok limited-slip differential. And just to convince you that it was no accident that this ‘Stang was left new in the wrapper, the original date-coded tires from 1993 are included with the sale mounted on a spare set of 5-spoke alloy wheels. Yes, someone was slightly obsessive about preserving originality.
Ah, not a cold air intake or aftermarket exhaust in sight. This is one of the harder cars to resist modifying, as aftermarket components are cheap and plentiful. The 1993 Mustang GT was rated at a healthy 205 horsepower at 4,200 rpm and 275 lb-ft of torque, and it will likely stay forever at that number given how little sense it makes to modify a car like this. The seller is firm on his price (as he should be), and I doubt he’ll have much trouble meeting his sale requirements. The color combo, the condition, and the preferred 5-speed make this a home run all the way around. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Tony Primo for the find.
Very nice. Who would have thought that thirty years ago, when they were simply “everyman” 90’s performance cars, that this generation of Mustangs would become highly collectible. Which helps explain why few remain in low-mileage, unmolested condition.
The seller definitely knows what he/she has… “don’t waste my time.” I guess I understand that (to a point), I’m sure someone will think they can get this car on the cheap.
Thanks Jeff.
Those “Fox bodies” may look like the south end of a north-bound mule, but at least this one’s in such nice shape I wouldn’t be ashamed to keep it in my driveway. I have to agree with others here. Who’d a thunk these cars would be so collectible, considering the Mustang returned to its roots in 2005.
“South bound end of a north bound mule?” To each his own, I guess. I thought the four eyed Fox’s were the best looking. But the new aero ‘Stangs were definitely not ugly.
The 3rd generation’s early Stangs were ok but the blunt nose ones are hard to look at IMHO. They really only changed the front ends of them from about ’79 when they first came out.
I have a 91 Fox Body, 5.0, cam, coal black with black wheels. Little bigger tires on the back, Buckets, 5 speed, sunroof ( I believe factory from the information provided). She will really set you back in the seat….been offered major dollars for the car….too fun to sale…the market continues to climb regarding these car
