In a sea of black, white, and red Fox Body Mustangs, it’s so refreshing to see one that wears a different shade of paint. In this case, it’s a 1992 model that sports Deep Emerald Green over silver bumpers and side skirts, and looks quite sharp despite the true mileage being unknown. The seller notes that the Mustang came in as a trade from the granddaughter of the original owner, who I’m sure is sad to see his cherished Mustang leave the family. Regardless, it’s listed here on eBay with bidding over $8K and no reserve.
I know not everyone gets into the color scheme of cars as much as I do, but this paint code completely transforms the impression of a 90s muscle car like this. I’m not sure if it’s because I associate dark green paint with staid family sedans and mid-90s SUVs, but it really does make the Mustang look downright handsome. The pictures don’t show the paint in excruciating detail, but what we can see looks quite clean and matches well down the sides, with the silver two-tone paint on the lower panels also showing no tell-tale signs of a mismatch.
Sadly, the one feature not working in this GT’s favor is the automatic transmission. It seems like in the last few Mustang GTs we’ve listed, all of them have had the preferred manual gearbox. Fortunately, the slushbox may have played a role in this example surviving in seemingly untouched condition as it negated the temptation to modify it. The seller believes the actual mileage is likely over 100,000, which makes the condition of vulnerable cosmetic surfaces like the light gray upholstery even more impressive. While it is equipped with A/C, the seller doesn’t mention if it works.
The seller does offer that his dealership typically sells vehicles as-is, but that the Mustang was serviced by his shop. He doesn’t elaborate as to what this inspection and servicing included, but one would hope the usual assortment of fluid changes, belt replacement, and plugs and wires was included in their deferred maintenance checklist. While the clean condition should reassure buyers, it always helps to see a stack of invoices. Given how rarely Mustangs show up in non-traditional colors, I’m sure this GT will find a new home with ease.
8k seems like an insane amount of money to me for a 124k mile Fox body, with automatic to boot. But good for sellers. Good luck!
It’s a nice car. Most fox body Mustangs are 30+ years old, they were one of the cars that led the way for the rebirth of the factory muscle car. Performance enthusiasts flocked towards them when they were new, it’s not surprising they are increasing in value now. The strong following they had when new is starting to be reflected in today’s market. Prices will only continue to rise for clean examples.

You should write for barn finds.
How pricy would a manual conversion be? How much real value would it add?
“…How much real value would it add?” for those who put vehicles into better shape to earn on our labor – a good bit.
These R one of the models ‘to get on’ now as the market has opened over the last several yrs. Soon none will B affordable for that purpose.
I seek the wagon models (’78 -Granada, Fairmont, LTD- ’86).
Sharp looking Mustang. That color looks awesome on the GT convertibles also.
Decent looking Mustang, most want the five speed but those got chewed up…by folks like myself. For the Starbucks people out there be forewarned these don’t have cup holders.
Yeah, but the space between the passenger seat and brake handle will hold a 20 oz. coffee or bottle of soda tightly :)
Never tried that on mine. I would be afraid of it spilling.
To me, green cars are great. This is a great color scheme and in good shape.
It seems that even though a lot(most?) of these and 5.0 LX’s were dogged out there’s a decent number of them cared for available for sale at any given time.
Jeff, interesting you would comment on the green paint. Just yesterday I happened to be looking at some car brochures, mostly from the late 1990’s. I was curious about the paint colors, so I checked several to gauge the availability of the now-ubiquitous white/silver/gray/black. To my surprise, on most models, you could get two or three of them, but never all four. Can you imagine today not having black available? On the other hand I remember one vehicle (might have been Windstar, don’t remember) available in three greens and three blues and odd colors like rose.
I like this Fox in green. Even the worn but not abused examples (like this one) are bringing higher values.
There was a color called strawberry available on these. There was also a bright blue, and this dark green. There was also teal in 1993. There was a brief in the early 1990s when bright colors were back in vogue.
Wild Strawberry, Ultra Blue Clearcoat, and Deep Emerald Green.
I had a 1991 Emerald green GT just like this with leather for a few years. I received more compliments on that car than my other 5 or 6 fox Mustangs.
I don’t care about your Camaro and it’s blah blah.. nothing absolutely nothing beats the sound and torque of those old 5.0’s.. even Vanilla Ice knew that.
Just an observation.
The headlight, at least on the left side, looks pushed back farther from the facia.
A check on Google shows it shouldn’t be that far back.
Whoever goes for this car should check for previous front end damage
