Spotted #295

[Paul C.]

Hi All,

We were just out running around last night and came across a Mustang Mclaren. I saw the label on the dash, it was #295. I'm not familar with the details of 87 & up, but the "ASCMCLAREN" bumper was an easy giveaway. The car had red interior. The seats had the Ascmclaren label on them. The exterior was black with a correct black top. From what I found out, the owner works at a car dealership in Edina, MN. and the car was purchased from California. Hopefully, I'll get another chance to go visit and invite him to log on.

Take care
Paul

Hi Chris,

The next time I'm over that way, I'll try to track down the car again. I think the owner is a sales rep. at a car dealership, but I don't think the car is for sale.

Paul, a quick & easy way to tell if a unit is a 1987/1988 -OR- a 1989/1990 is by the door moulding. If the window is all the way down, and your elbow is out the window.....

If there is a color keyed to car's paint color moulding that begins in the back and comes forward all the way to the side view mirror, she's a 89/90 but it the moulding ends in a point ( > ) right above the exterior door handle, then she's a 87/88. The only way to break it down further - as in 87 OR 88 ...... or 89 OR 90 is when the car is in a specific paint color used only 1 year. Black, White, Silver, & bright red were used every year, and therefore are the most plentiful. Only 1990s had a driver side air bag.
The stitch pattern of the convertible top was altered beginning in 1989, but again, that would not tell one if it was a 89 or a 90.

Ya can't go by wheels as 70% of owners felt the need to change them.
