To the unpracticed eye, it was getting nearly impossible to tell one year’s GT from another with only minor changes from 1987-1990. Ford changed that for 1991 with the addition of attractive new 5-spoke 16x7 inch aluminum wheels sporting the classic tri-bar running horse logo. Even with the addition of new wheels, production and sales of the Mustang GT fell significantly again in 1991 - as a matter of fact, it fell to an amount below the introductory 1982 GT sales level of 24,799 (the first time in nine years).
http://www.mustanggt.org/189intak.jpg (http://www.mustanggt.org/89intake.jpg)In spite of this, the Mustang GT was still heralded by the press as one of the best “bang-for-the-buck” performance cars sold in the USA. At the heart of the ‘91 GT was that old friend - the 5.0L HO - complete with all the bells and whistles from the prior year: a mass airflow sensor, 60mm throttle body, tuned length aluminum intake plenum, 19 lb-hr injectors, E7TE truck heads, roller lifter cam, remote low-restriction air cleaner, and EEC-IV electronics system. Also found as standard equipment once again were the GT’s stainless steel exhausts teamed up with stainless steel tubular headers, 10.84-inch front brakes and the GT handling suspension consisting of progressive rate springs, 1.3 inch front anti-sway bar, 0.83 inch rear anti-sway bar and gas pressurized struts with rear quadra-shocks .
http://www.mustanggt.org/5spoke.jpgTo complement the new 16 inch wheel, P225/55ZR Goodyear uni-directional Gatorbacks were standard with P225/55ZR16 all-season performance tires becoming an option. In addition, different front fenders were installed to accomodate the bigger wheel/tire combo. Also new for ‘91 was a lower convertible top stack height which smoothed out the convertible’s top-down profile. Externally, nothing else changed for the ‘91 GT and it retained its flush-fitting headlamps, aerodynamic nose, rear wing, round fog lights, louvered taillights, flush rear quarter window and ground effects package. Four new paint colors for ‘91 GTs were introduced: Medium Titanium Clearcoat Metallic, Titanium Frost Clearcoat Metallic, Deep Emerald Green Clearcoat Metallic (all 3 with Titanium lower accent treatment) and Medium Red. The following paint colors carried over from ‘90: Wild Strawberry Metallic, Twilight Blue Metallic, Ultra Blue Metallic (all of these available with the Titanium lower accent treatment), Black Clearcoat, Oxford White and Bright Red.
