Is is possible one was made? I have a guy looking to sell me one of course with fire damage but if it's real I think I'll buy and fix it Razz

There was one I think. It was the brochure car. I think it stayed at asc and then maybe got sold off somewhere, but no idea.

Sandy knows it I think.

I would not hold my breath that that guy knows what he's got. It's probably not an asc or not a 1991 car.

Thanks that's kinda what I thought. I will still investigate best case it's a 90 worst case it is a regular Mustang.

I have the last car. It's Azura Blue (the sole Azura Blue 1990) ~
It has the Light & Dark Crystal Blue Interior, with the dark blue cloth roof.
It's an automatic tranny with the remote lock / unlock key fob, the illuminated entry, the Whistler radar as installed by asc/McLaren and the 360-degree bumper-body-bumper tape stripe (silver metallic) inset into the recess of the front & rear bumper fascia. It's mileage is 2,332 miles.
I bought new and it was shipped to my local Lincoln-Mercury dealer, that is about 9 miles from my house, where it was serviced, and went through the "proper" channels of a new car delivery service.

However..

There were other companies, that made copy-cats that looked VERY MUCH the same, at a glance, to our cars, but they are NOT asc/McLarens and were NOT specially prepaired BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY, for asc/McLaren's conversion process, and have never been AT the Autry Street location, that asc/McLarens all were shiped to.

Shelbycarb, When I said "Copy-Cats" -- I meant Mustangs taken of new Ford Dealers lots and turned into 2 seaters. From 500 feet awqy, a blind man could see that they were NOT McLarens....

HERE YA GO....

http://www.ascmclaren.org/phpBB/album_pic.php?pic_id=172

This is a
1990
but it was "treated" to the ALTERATIONS that were PROPOSED for the 1991 asc/McLaren program. Note the rear spoiler. It wears 1989/1990 wheels (asc/McLaren) - - but, it was to get a NEW wheel design, which had NOT YET been approved !!! Also, many new colors, but fewer interior color selections.

No asc/McLarern bears a 1991 code VIN

NO MUSTANG WITH A 1991 VIN WAS EVER MADE INTO AN ASC/mc LAREN 2-SEAT CONVERTIBLE! NO... NEVER....

THE RED EXAMPLE WAS A STYLING EXERCISE TO ILLASTRATE THE NEW STYLE REAR SPOILER. THE NEW WHEELS WERE YET TO BE CHOSEN !!

NOW THEN..... THERE WAS A SECOND CAR, TOO. A 1990 ASC/MC LAREN IN WHITE, WITH A WHITE VINYL ROOF. IT WAS ON DISPLAY AT A MICHIGAN INDOOR SHOW. IT WEARS THE 1991 SPOILER, AS PER THE RED ONE PICTURED AND SHOWING THE ACCEPTED NEW WHEELS !!!

BUT I CANNOT FIND IT !!! DAMN. IT HAS WHILE LEARTHER (I THINK)
