Mustang LX (I4)
The most affordable 1993 Mustang, this notchback coupe offered the classic Fox Body styling with an economical four-cylinder engine. It served as a popular, lightweight base model for daily driving and was a blank canvas for extensive customization by enthusiasts.
Mustang LX (I4)
Combining utility with sporty looks, the four-cylinder hatchback was a practical and efficient option. It offered more cargo space than the coupe while sharing the same reliable and economical powertrain, making it a versatile choice in the Mustang lineup.
Mustang LX (I4)
This model provided the fun of a drop-top Mustang at the most accessible price point. It paired the fuel-efficient 2.3L engine with the open-air experience, making it a stylish and economical choice for cruising during the final year of the Fox Body.
Mustang LX 5.0L
Known as the ultimate “sleeper,” this model combined the lightweight, unassuming notchback body with the powerful 5.0L V8 engine. Its superior power-to-weight ratio made it faster in a straight line than the heavier GT, and it remains a legend among drag racers.
Mustang LX 5.0L
This version offered the practicality of the hatchback body style with the potent 5.0L V8 engine, but without the GT’s aggressive body kit. It was a well-balanced performance car that appealed to buyers who wanted V8 power with more subtle styling.
Mustang LX 5.0L
Offering V8 power with classic convertible styling, the LX 5.0L was the foundation for the year’s popular special editions. It provided the performance of the GT in a more traditional, chrome-trimmed package that appealed to many buyers seeking a drop-top muscle car.
Mustang GT
The flagship performance model for the masses, the GT featured the iconic 5.0L V8, a full aerodynamic body kit with fog lights, “Turbine” wheels, and an upgraded suspension. It was the quintessential ’90s Mustang, blending aggressive looks with proven V8 power.
Mustang GT
The GT Convertible mixed top-down fun with the model’s signature aggressive styling and performance. It featured the full ground effects package, a throaty dual exhaust, and V8 power, making it a bold and popular statement piece for the final Fox Body year.
Mustang LX 5.0L Limited Edition Convertible
A special feature car celebrating the end of the Fox Body era. Available in Vibrant White or Canary Yellow, these cars had a unique spoiler and color-keyed interiors. With only 1,503 yellow and 1,500 white models produced, they are highly sought-after collectibles.
Mustang SVT Cobra
The stunning debut from Ford’s new Special Vehicle Team (SVT). The Cobra featured a more powerful, factory-modified V8, unique styling, upgraded brakes, and a refined suspension. It was a limited-production, balanced performer that instantly became a modern classic.
Mustang SVT Cobra R
The ultimate, track-focused 1993 Mustang. Ford stripped the Cobra of its radio, A/C, and rear seat to save weight and added larger brakes and an engine oil cooler. With only 107 built exclusively for licensed racers, it is the rarest and most valuable Fox Body ever made.
Saleen SC Mustang
A tuner masterpiece from Steve Saleen, the SC was a high-performance variant featuring a supercharger for massive power gains. Combined with its signature Racecraft suspension and aggressive aerodynamics, it was one of the fastest and best-handling Mustangs money could buy.
Saleen Mustang
Sold through select Ford dealers, the Saleen convertible offered a blend of open-air style and track-inspired performance. It featured Saleen’s renowned suspension upgrades, body kit, and interior touches, making it a rare and desirable tuner car for cruising.
