In 1990, Ford released its 25th anniversary models, claiming that the first Mustang was a 1964 1/2 model year. Good to know that Ford rounds up.
Regardless, there were 2000 Emerald Green GT convertibles with white leather interiors available to celebrate. A rumor that Ford would be bringing back at 351-ci engine proved false, and the Boss would remain part of history.
Other changes for the 1990 Ford Mustang included the bumping of the speedometer from one rated to 85 mph to one listing numbers up to 140 mph. Available engines to achieve these speeds were the base 2.3-liter I4 which produced 88 horsepower, and the ever-popular 5.0-liter V8 H0, producing 225 horsepower.

Many enjoy the strong performance of the 5.0 V8 engine and the fun factor it brings, making it a favorite among muscle car enthusiasts. However, common complaints include its rust issues and high maintenance costs, particularly as the car ages."
One of my favorite cars I have ever owned. Lots of fun to modify. 200,000 + miles. Bolt on heaven the car was lost to a house fire with my 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback 289 Hi-po 4 spd. Replaced it with a 91 hatchback that was once a 4 cylinder but converted to a 331 stroker, 5 spd TKO, 8.8, and Aerospace Engineering 4 wheel disc brakes. Griggs 4 link and Coil over + tubular a-arms. With Sparco blue/black bucket seats. It is a work in progress and will post pictures
March 19, 2009My car is meant to go in a staight line, VERY quickly. 0-60 and 1/4 mile numbers comparible to most supercars....The comparison ends there!!!! Try to take this thing on a road course and you will end up on your lid!!! The car is in excellent shape and very reliable other than typical drag car issues..blown gaskets, worn tires, etc. Gas mileage is absolute crap..but hey, I smoke vette's with the thing so who cares??? If I wanted gas mileage, my fun car would be a Honda. I'd rather eat glass. The car is an absolute blast to drive...If you like speed, loud over- cammed American V-8's. I highly recommend one.
October 6, 2008I owned mine for over 30 years. Only problems were a tendency to overheat on long summer road trips which was fixed with an oversize radiator upgrade and the automatic transmission leaked from the solenoids almost from the day it left the showroom floor.

May 20, 2020Love this car, long live the five oh! Great styling inside and out. Solid performance, very enjoyable to drive. While the car is getting dated in performance it's very upgradeable with strong aftermarket support and it's easy to work on. These cars are getting rare where I live so it's nice to have a Mustang everyone else doesn't have. I will never get rid of this car.
March 17, 2010My Mustang was one of the best cars I have ever drove. Had all kinds of power, got good fuel mileage, and was an absolute blast to drive. Looked great and sounded even better. I hope to have another one some day.
November 28, 2009I have owned 3 other Fox body Mustangs prior to the one I currently own, I have always been a Ford fanatic, and have always been in love with Mustang 5.0's. They are the fastest cars you can buy for the money!! My current Stang is a mint condition Lx Hatch, I bought it 5 months ago. It has great performance/handling, it's rock solid, it's a very hot looking car inside/outside, the insurance rates are decent, the gas mileage is great for a performance V-8, it's a blast to drive.... Faaaassssstttt... I recommend Mustang 5.0's to anyone who is a American Muscle car lover...
November 9, 2008I love my car, it makes me happy every time i get to drive it. It's a ford so its a little more expensive to keep it up, but i would never trade it for anything in the world!!!!!!!!!
July 9, 2008This was an awesome car! Daily driver, It had Stock Heads, Cam and Intake. With bolt ons only (ie. 3.73 gears, full exhaust, intake spacer, fuel pressure regulator, control arms, subframe connectors, pulleys etc...), it went 12.99 @ 105.05mph on M/T ET Streets. It also had very nice gray interior and very nice original black paint.
September 14, 2010Quick acceleration but with the 55/45 F/R it understeered too much for corners and then when the rear shocks went out the handling got even worse. The T5 transmissions are weak, even the World Classes. I've got through 2 of them in just a couple years and I had a stock 5.0 with pulleys, custom (I guess you can call it that) AC delete, Air pump delete, and the only vacuum line left was the one going to the brake booster. Factory suspension is so high it literally looks like it has a lift kit so that was unappealing. I wanted to set the engine back 8-10" with a custom firewall, double wishbone front suspension with a decoupled torque arm rear suspension, Saleen air dam and side skirts with GT rear bumper cover and Cobra wing. And paint it with the Panda Tureno type paint job since the AE86 (Levin) and Foxbody Mustang share a lot in appearance.
December 29, 2009one of the best if not the best i didn't think that i would fall in love at first ride but i did it's my baby my one and only car i worked on it with my best bud so it's not only a car it's a box of good memories
