Get in-depth info on the 2024 Ford Mustang including prices, specs, reviews, options, safety and reliability ratings.
With the introduction of the new Fox-platform Mustang for the 1979 model year, the Pinto-derived Mustang II was shown the door and a new era of Mustang performance began. Mustangs with ever-more-powerful V8s and turbocharged four-bangers hit the streets, rappers sang their praises and hot-rodded Ford ponies took over the drag strips.
The base engine in the 1987 Mustang LX was the 2.3-liter"Pinto" four-cylinder, rated at 90 horsepower and 130 pound-feet, and that's what we have here. The LX hatchback cost a bit more than the trunk-equipped '87 Mustang, with an MSRP of $8,474 . But this car has some costly options that pushed the price quite a bit higher, as we'll see.
This car also has the nice cast aluminum wheels, which came with the V8 engine package and don't seem to have been a factory option for 2.3-equipped cars. We can assume that these were swapped on after purchase.It's in reasonably good condition for a 37-year-old car, much better than the majority of Fox Mustangs I find during my junkyard travels.
