I had one of these 20th Anniversary models way back in the day, although it wasn't a convertible. I've had 4 different 5.0 foxbody cars and of all of them, the only 1 I really miss is my 89' 5.0 LX convertible that was blue with a darker blue convertible top.

That red interior!LOL That definitely brings back some memories:) Mine was a manual car. I do like the convertible body style better than the hatchback. I'd say go for it if you like it.

I think '89 was really the sweet spot for Fox Mustangs. No airbags and it had the forged pistons.

The four eyes were good looking, but not quite as good for hot rodding.

I owned so many Fox Mustangs! In order (I think) I had an '89, an '85, '83, another '89 and an '87 through the years. After I sold the '87 a few years ago I told myself I was done with them. They used to be cheap and easy to find, but prices are starting to go up.

I had an 85 GT first, then the 84 20th anniversary, then the 89 LX vert, and lastly a 90 LX Hatch. The 90 was the most modified one I had. I tried buying a 93 LX hatch, but the dealer at the time wouldn't budge on the price so I said screw him.LOL After the 90, I ended up buying a 95 Pontiac Firehawk. I had the Firehawk for about 8 years.

I remember seeing one of those when I was a kid in the mid 90’s.

I also remember when Fox Body cars ruled the street. I probably looked at 10-12 of them easy and they were all A; too expensive because they were already built, or B; would be too expensive because they were already falling apart.

Came really close on one, went to go make an offer and it was gone. It was an ex SSP car with some light engine work. Sounded like pure hell, was the fastest thing my 16 year old self had driven... however it had no brakes, interior was shit and it was clear it had some front end damage. I looked at the car a few years later when it came back up for sale and just couldn’t bring myself to do it. The owner hadn’t done anything but let it sit.
