This 1988 Ford Mustang ASC McLaren Convertible Limited Edition is more than just a car—it’s a time capsule from an era when automobiles were bold expressions of freedom and style.

This isn’t just any Mustang—it’s a rare gem, crafted for those who appreciate automotive history and craftsmanship.

A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship and Innovation

When this Mustang debuted in 1988, it was hailed as “A Bolt from the Blue.” Combining refined European styling with classic American muscle, the ASC McLaren transformation elevated the Mustang to an entirely new level. Starting as a Mustang LX notchback, the car was sent to the American Sunroof Company (ASC) for a complete overhaul. The top was removed, the windshield raked, and the floor reinforced for strength, making it one of the strongest ASC convertibles of its time.

Key Features:

• Engine: 5.0L High Output (HO) V8 engine producing an exhilarating 225 HP
• Transmission: 5-speed manual with a new clutch and high-output throttle bearings for smooth, engaging shifts
• Brakes: Power disc brakes in the front and drums in the rear, delivering reliable stopping power
• Wheels: Factory custom ASC McLaren 4-stud wheels

Additionally, this Mustang features a custom console, special-edition leather sport seats, and a matte black-painted hood scoop, all emphasizing its unique McLaren identity.
