The Ford Mustang has been offered in a variety of unique variants over the years, but undoubtedly, one of the most interesting of the bunch is the 7-Up Edition. This particular treatment was applied to very few Fox Body models – just 4,103 examples, in fact. As such, we don’t see these cars pop up for sale very often, though a higher-mile example hit the auction block back in March 2022, and an incredibly nice, 226-mile 1990 Ford Mustang 7-Up Edition surfaced for sale last October as well. Now, we have another to add to that list – this 18k-mile soda-inspired pony car that’s currently up for grabs at Bring a Trailer.
As is the case with every 1990 Ford Mustang 7-Up Edition, this one sports Deep Emerald Green Metallic paint and a white soft top, all of which was part of a promotion intended to give away these special machines during the 1990 NCAA basketball championship – an idea was ultimately scrapped – though Ford ultimately sold a few matching models to the public. This particular example was delivered new in Binghamton, New York, and is reportedly one of just 1,360 7-Up Edition vehicles fitted with a five-speed manual transmission, however, which makes it a bit more special than most.
Aside from that unique color combo, the 7-Up Mustangs were equipped with the Handling Suspension Package with variable-rate springs and the Quadra-Shock rear setup as standard equipment, along with a white leather interior. There, buyers enjoyed amenities including air conditioning, cruise control, a cassette stereo, and power windows and door locks.
Power for the limited-edition Mustang comes from a familiar place – the naturally-aspirated 302 cubic-inch V8, which in this guise churned out 225 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque when new. It flows to the rear wheels via the aforementioned five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Ultimately, it’s hard to deny the appeal of this Ford Mustang 7-Up Edition, and given the presence of its row-your-own gearbox, we don’t doubt that it will conjure up plenty of interest at auction as a result.
