The 1990 Ford Mustang GT (Gen. 3) is a hatchback pony car based on the Fox platform.

The third-generation Mustang was in production for 14 years, starting in 1979 and ending in 1993.

From 1987 to 1993, the Foxbody Mustang received a facelift and was made available with a '5.0' branded V8 engine.

The GT was the highest specification level available and retained the fog light position of the pre-facelift model.
