The Fox Body Mustang became one of Ford's defining performance cars of the 1980s, but this example has a much rarer story. It is a 1987 Mustang ASC McLaren, number 033 of only 479 produced that year, combining Mustang 5.0 power with a coachbuilt two-seat convertible conversion.
The ASC McLaren story began when American Sunroof Corporation teamed with McLaren Engines to create a more exclusive Mustang-based performance car. For the convertible, ASC took a Mustang LX and extensively reworked the body into a purpose-built two-seater. The rear seat disappeared, the windshield area and convertible structure were modified, and distinctive bodywork, interior pieces, and trim separated the finished McLaren Mustang from a standard Mustang convertible.
This car wears Guards Red with a black cloth convertible top and unique Grey leather ASC McLaren bucket seats. ASC McLaren door panels, a rear-seat delete, smoke-tinted exterior lenses, and the distinctive ASC McLaren front fascia preserve much of the conversion's personality. A Blaupunkt digital head unit adds FM/AUX/MP3/Bluetooth capability.
Under the hood sits Ford's 5.0-liter High Output V8, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Power steering, power brakes, and power windows add everyday convenience. Black 17-inch honeycomb wheels with polished lips and McLaren caps complete the stance. The car shows 115,495 original miles.
For anyone searching for a convertible Fox Body Mustang, this is a chance to own a much less common chapter of Mustang history. With only 479 built in 1987, this ASC McLaren offers the familiar 5.0 experience wrapped in one of the era's most distinctive Mustang conversions.
