When you hear the words “Feature Car,” it brings to mind a vehicle that gets a four-page spread in Fast Fords magazine. However, in the case of the Fox body Mustang, it’s actually a limited-edition cosmetic package that offered a small batch of 5.0L-equipped cars in one of two monochromatic paint colors: Vibrant White or Canary Yellow. This 1993 Ford Mustang LX convertible listed here on Facebook Marketplace is obviously the former, and while it does show some wear and tear along with unfortunate aftermarket headlights, it appears to be wholly deserving of restoration.
The seller is asking $6,000 for this limited edition Mustang, which comes to us by way of Barn Finds reader PRA4SNW. It’s been listed for a few weeks now which may seem surprising at first given how popular Fox bodies are as of late, but this isn’t in showroom-mint condition that many special edition muscle cars are. The seller notes it has been driven to car shows for many years, and it shows, with tired paint, scratches, and dented panels, like the rear bumper. The Feature Cars came standard with a rear spoiler, which is still present and accounted for here.
This Mustang obviously left the factory with fuel injection, but someone has converted it back to an old-school carburetor; fortunately, the original parts are included. One of the biggest mistakes you can make with a limited-edition car or collector vehicle of any sort is to modify it, as it has a chilling effect on buyers of those vehicles. A true Mustang collector wants a Feature Edition that has never been messed with and looks like it just rolled out of the dealership. While I’m unsure how much the carburetor setup impacts performance, this Mustang left the factory producing 205 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque, channeled in this instance via a 4-speed automatic transmission.
The white Feature Cars were cheaper than the yellow ones owing to sporting painted alloy wheels versus chrome. The monochromatic tweaks were limited to the mirrors, cowl vent, various moldings, and the trim at the base of the windshield. The interior features white leather, and while we don’t get a dedicated photo of the cabin with this listing, what we can see looks decent. The white top is covered in mildew and suggests an extended period of being left outside. What do you think – is this Feature Edition Mustang project worthy of the asking price?
The Feature Cars were straightforward, trim-change-based packages which resulted in eye-catching cars. Quite a few were saved. I think Jeff is right, most buyers who want one want a nice one. Unfortunately this one looks used and tired and needs lots of work. 200k miles. Maybe someone who wants to just use it as a driver or is content with basic upgrades might be interested.
