Low Mileage GT: 1991 Ford Mustang

Another day, another fine Fox body. This time, it’s a silver GT coupe from 1991, wearing the classinc GT bodykit and Pony wheels, and in a sharp color combo of silver and red. While we see an awful lot of clean Fox bodies come through here, the examples that don’t wear red or black always stand out, and the dark gray lower body classing with the silver painted surfaces up top is a great look. The seller reports that it has under 50,000 original miles and is unaltered from stock, all the way down to the factory radio. The Mustang belongs to his father, who bought it for himself as a retirement gift. It’s now available here on eBay with bids to $11,400 and the reserve unmet.

The seller notes that this is, indeed, a desirable color combination, listed as the rare combo of Titanium Frost with a Scarlet Red interior, and that the paint remains original above the lower body cladding. Those lower portions were just recently repainted, as they can often look beaten up after years of close proximity to the road. The level of care and attention given to the Mustang over the years is a testament to the seller’s father, who maintained the GT to a high level until just recently when he bought his dream car: a 1993 Ford Mustang Cobra. The Mustang has lived in Nevada and California and remains in rust-free condition, and the seller does disclose that the trunk lid doesn’t close tightly due to a bad striker.

The interior is in fine shape, with red carpets, upholstery, steering wheel, door panels, and even a matching red protective dash cover. This is a very typical late 80s/early 90s design, and while we may not consider it super attractive today, it was all the rage in 1991. The Mustang’s automatic transmission is a disappointment, but it almost certainly helped to ensure this well-loved survivor never became a beater with tricked-out performance parts bolted on at every corner. The seller notes the air conditioning works but is weak; that there are some mounting holes still visible from a previously installed device; and the speedometer needs a new cable to fix a bouncy needle in the cluster. I wouldn’t change a thing color-wise as the silver-over-red combo looks sharp as-is, and this is totally period correct.

The engine bay is nicely detailed, and it appears to have the blue hoses that came standard on SSP Mustangs, if I recall correctly. This is a rare and sought-after “upgrade”, and it usually means the owner pillaged them from a wrecked police car. Recent maintenance includes spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, cabin filter, new transmission and differential oil, new battery, new rear shocks, and more. All replacement parts came straight from Motorcraft in keeping with the car’s OEM pedigree, and there’s no sign of any aftermarket performance parts under the hood. This GT may be yet another iteration of the popular Fox body platform, but the rare colors and impressive cosmetic condition truly set it apart.
