My way of 'going green'

Well, last weekend was somewhat sad in that I sold my '89 5.0 LX notchback. I had owned it since new, but it was time to let it go to a new owner.


So, in place of the '89 I now have a '90 5.0 LX '7up' 25th Anniversary convertible. Not a bad deal, it sure will make me feel better about selling the '89.
Here are a few pictures taken today. It seems that I now have a thing for green cars, pictures show the '90 alongside my '06 LL Pony.

Hi Ed - Here is some info that I cut-and-pasted from another post on here -

1990 LIMITED EDITION "7-UP" CONVERTIBLE 5.0 MUSTANG
The 7-UP Connection
The 7-UP Bottling Company was to give away thirty of these cars at the 1990 National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball finals in the United States. In an audience participation contest, anyone sinking a basket from center court with one try, was to drive home in one of the cars. At the last minute, the contest was canceled but the cars were already built. They were then sold in very limited numbers to the public.
1990 Limited Edition Mustang Convertible - General Info Production of these cars started in December of 1989, with only two cars being built. Full production began February 2, 1990 with the final car being built May 29, 1990. The convertibles all started out as coupes, and had the hardtop removed prior to shipment to Cars & Concepts of Brighton, MI. The plan was to build 5,000 but only 4,103 were built. The breakdown of the production numbers is as follows:


- Total production: 4,103
- Number of 5-Speeds: 1,360
- Number of Automatics: 2,743
- Number of vehicles exported: 261


The 1990 Limited Edition LX Convertible has some features which differentiate it from other Mustang models. These features include:


- Deep Emerald Green Clearcoat Metallic Paint (code PA)
- Color-keyed body side moldings, fascia moldings and side mirrors
- White Leather Interior
- White Convertible Top
- 15" GT Aluminum Wheels
