1987 Ford Mustang LX

The eighties saw a big resurgence in performance by the American auto manufacturers. By 1987 things had really heated up between the Ford Mustang and the Buick Grand National. In the Ford camp, the Mustang 5.0 LX established itself as the weapon of choice. With its no-nonsense looks and light weight, the notchback was the one sought after by serious gearheads. This 1987 Ford Mustang LX notchback sports its original 5.0 electronically fuel injected V8 engine, and its original black exterior paint. The stealth look goes a step further with the addition of black TSW wheels. As one of the most popular modern hot rods, this LX doesn’t disappoint. The top of the motor has a polished Pro Comp intake that looks fierce with the BBK cold air induction set up. Inside is a B330 cam and Scorpion roller rockers. Chrome BBK headers are plumbed into a trick exhaust system with a BBK off-road X-pipe and Flowmaster Original 40 Series mufflers. A very authoritative exhaust tone bellows from the dual chrome outlets. You control the pitch with a T56 six-speed manual transmission.
The chassis is tuned for action and brings the hardware plus style points for appearance. Red powdercoated Sportline lowering springs aid handling and give the car its killer stance. Strange shocks help plant the rear tires, and a neat LPW differential cover adds to the sturdiness and appearance. It’s an 8.8 Ford rear with 3.73 gears and Traction Lok. Strange twin tube struts do the job up front. The whole shebang is tied together with black steel welded in subframe connectors. Big Toyo Extensa HP2 tires wrap the wheels front and back with 245/45R17 and 255/45R17 staggered sizes. The body is nice enough to show off its original black paint, which contrasts beautifully with the Sand Beige or saddle tan interior. You really get a nice feeling of control with the thick rimmed Grant steering wheel. It goes nicely with the black accents on the dash, center console, and black leather shifter. A Pioneer AM/FM/CD system plays through a Kicker equalizer that looks as cool in the center stack as it sounds. On the A-pillar is a trick trio of Auto Meter gauges to augment the factory gauge package including the factory tach. You’ll find quality hardware professionally installed throughout the car. It’s a sunshine car with origins in California then Alabama, and has accumulated only 60,062 miles in its well-cared-for 33 years of life. It comes with its Marti Report, a helpful stack of receipts, and a complete AutoCheck History Report in which the car rates an off-the-scale score of 60. Maxmotive is pleased to offer a very desirable Fox-body Mustang at an attractive price. This 1987 Ford Mustang LX Notchback is ready for you to jump in and go.
