I believe those were the mercury capri's with some special package on em. But I don't think they made em in 88.

1015 ASC McLaren mustangs built in '88, the number you have may include the ASC Capri's. Price is all over on these things as I have seen one in perfect condition go for $7500, but that seemed low to me for what it was, hell I've seen guy's wanting $7500 or more for perfect condition '88 GT's. Here's a site where you can learn some more about them...

from what i've seen, they werent any different than a stock convertible other than in appearances. no performance difference. I might be picking up a wrecked 90 mclaren in a few weeks for cheap, its one of 7 black/black w/ red interior for the total of 68 mclarens made in 90.....

Yeah the main diff. is in the rear end of the car, but I think that it looks ugly. I dont know, I wasnt very impressed with them, of course Im not a very big fan of convertible Fox's at all...

Those mclarens have the 4 window convertible tops also. That's too old mercedes'ish for me.

Default 1988Mclaren Mustang

I have a 1988 that I bought new it has 15000 miles on it. They are great driving cars. Just took mine from Illinois to California on Rte 66. I have done a few modifications which are very easy to do. Mine has a 5 leader block with 351 heads, Vortec supercharger, Headers, Street Strip Torque Converter, Lake Pipes. It a modifyers dream everything fits under the hood. Looks stock except for the rumble. I have a freind that just sold his it had 31000 miles on it, stock engine and trans. yellow in color He got $21000.00 for it. I wouldn't think of selling mine for less that $25,000.00. If you find one in any kind of shape at all with low miles for under $10,000.00 go for it. Theres a small network of collectors out there for this car. I know of 8 of them Mine is numbered 1458 Bright White with blue swade roof and blue interior

yup, i've heard of these cars. they were kinda sharp. i believe they were called ASC Mclaren's. if i remember correctly the convertible top mechanism comes froma cadillac allante. they were cool though, they had the capri tail lights and a mclaren only grill, i think. i haven't seen them in quite a while. they gotta be worth something.
