The 1993 Mustang was the final year of the third generation Fox Body - much to the woe of many enthusiasts who fell in love with its light frame. As in the previous year, Ford continued to offer the LX and GT trim options. With the LX available in either a 2.3L inline four-cylinder or a 5.0L Windsor V8. The GT, of course, retained the 5.0 Windsor V8.

This year, Ford used new cast hyper-eutectic pistons on the V8 and and re-rated 5.0L at lower power rating of 205 horsepower, but it is unknown what prompted the change, as the engine was little different from the previous year. It is assumed that may have been nothing more than the result of revised rating methods.

All models included a higher wattage radio with an easy-to-read display. The convertible had a new headliner. There were seven new exterior colors. New options included a compact disc player and an electronic premium cassette radio. The GT and LX 5.0 utilized the cast aluminum 16-inch wheels and performance tires introduced in 1991.

Regardless, in this last year of Fox Body, production was strong, with 114,228 Mustangs produced, of which 43,887 were GTs and LX 5.0s. (Production numbers below).
