Welcome to the auction of this pristinely preserved, low mileage, low production ASC Mcclaren Mustang. This is without a doubt one of the best examples in existence and a rare opportunity to own a rare fox body Mustang. I will be available throughout the auction to answer questions and provide additional information as requested. I will try to get a driving video uploaded this weekend. There are little to no imperfections in the paint or around the vehicle but I will also try to get close ups. Thanks and happy bidding.
Description: the full story
There are Low Miles No Miles Fox Bodies…and then there are the ones most people have never even seen in person. This 1988 Ford Mustang ASC McLaren Convertible falls firmly into that category, showing just 1,253 miles and standing as what is believed to be one of the lowest-mile ASC McLaren Mustangs in existence.
Vehicle Overview
Finished in Sterling Silver over a gray ASC McLaren interior, this 1988 Mustang ASC McLaren is powered by its original 5.0L Windsor V8 paired with a Borg Warner T5 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The odometer currently shows just 1,253 miles, and the car remains remarkably original throughout.
This particular example is ASC McLaren #1559 and is one of only 1,806 ASC McLaren Mustangs produced between 1987 and 1990. According to the seller, it is also one of just 68 produced in Sterling Silver over gray.
Far more than a simple appearance package, ASC McLaren conversions involved substantial chassis and body modifications performed by American Sunroof Company under McLaren licensing. These cars began life as black Mustang LX models before being transformed with GT front clips, reinforced chassis components, custom interiors, revised convertible engineering, unique bodywork, and ASC-specific trim throughout.
Additional structural reinforcement included boxed chassis sections, reinforced doors, windshield frames, cowl structures, and re-engineered A-pillars featuring a more aggressive 20-degree rake. The cars also received custom McLaren wheels, revised suspension lowering the stance approximately 1.5 inches, specialized interiors, custom tonneau covers, and rear seat deletes to accommodate the unique top mechanism.
This example remains highly original, with the seller noting the only changes from original specification are replacement BFGoodrich tires in place of the factory Goodyears.
Story
This ASC McLaren has spent most of its life as part of private collections, a major reason it survives today in such preserved condition.
Originally sold new through a dealership in Tennessee, the car later became part of a collection in Georgia where it remained climate-controlled from 1988 through 2020. It was then relocated to California before eventually making its way to Nebraska and later to its current owner in 2026.
Throughout that time, the car accumulated remarkably few miles, with the current owner adding just 11 miles during ownership.
Cars like this were specialty vehicles from the beginning, and unlike typical Fox Bodies, many ASC McLarens were recognized early as collectible pieces worth preserving.
Condition
As expected for an ultra-low-mile collector example, the car presents exceptionally well throughout. The exterior retains its original paint with no reported history of bodywork, while the ASC McLaren-specific interior remains highly preserved and original.
The vehicle is reported to be completely rust-free and mechanically stock. Recent servicing includes an oil change completed in May 2026.
The only noted issue is that the air conditioning system is operational but currently does not blow cold and is believed to require a recharge.
Overall, this is an exceptionally original and highly preserved ASC McLaren Mustang that represents one of the rarest and most specialized variations of the Fox Body platform.

Letter From The LMNM Team
This is one of those cars where people either instantly understand it… or have absolutely no idea what they’re looking at.
And honestly, that’s part of what makes these ASC McLarens so cool.
Fox Body people already know how special notchbacks, SSPs, Saleens, and rare option cars have become, but the ASC McLaren cars live in an entirely different category. These weren’t just appearance packages or dealer add-ons. They were heavily re-engineered specialty cars built during one of the wildest periods of Mustang history.
The details on these are incredible once you start looking closely. The top mechanism, the reinforced chassis, the unique interiors, the bodywork, it’s all so much more involved than most people realize.
And then there’s the mileage.
Finding any ASC McLaren is difficult. Finding one this original, this preserved, and with this kind of mileage is something else entirely.
This feels less like a normal Fox Body and more like a forgotten specialty car from another era, which is exactly what it is.
As pristine an example you will find!
As we approach the final hour, please reach out via contact seller with any specific questions. Do not miss this opportunity to own the best, lowest mileage ASC Mcclaren Mustang left. Rarity, condition, and mileage puts this at the very top!

@Davern here are some close ups of the paint. This car is in exceptional condition there aren’t many to speak of. The paint shows brilliant throughout. There is one small rock chip on the edge of the right front hood, a scuff on the bottom side of the spoiler, an old paint touch up on the left fender and a small wear or rub mark on the tip on the right side.
@motorcraft123 Thank you for your interest and inquiry. Unfortunately I did not receive the paperwork for the car when I purchased the vehicle. The previous owner (2nd owner) misplaced the paperwork when he moved from California to Nebraska in 2021. An attempt to acquire the paperwork was made and I was told it was in boxes somewhere. I will continue to try to track it down and at the very least pass along contact info. It did include the original sales paperwork, ASC Mcclaren brochures and original documentation/service work.
Twolf76- Just following up about my earlier request on what documentation that you have for the car. Would you kindly share the info. Interested in Window sticker, owner manual, purchase paperwork, McLaren brochure etc? Any service records etc. Thanks for your time.
