I bought this 1988 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 convertible brand new (it had 6 miles on it) in August 1988 from a Ford dealership in Gilroy, CA.  I am the original and only owner.  The front seats have been reupholstered to match original and the back seat has been refurbished.  Only “jewelry” condition issues exist: needs new roof (no longer water proof), driver side sun visor, and rear FORD emblem.  There are two very minor dents on driver side (pop-out kind) and ashtray holder needs to be replaced/repaired.  Overall, its condition is near-mint/excellent.  The carpets are like new and there are no cracks in the dashboard or anywhere else.  From age, the window moldings are getting very brittle.  The exhaust system has been chromed. 

 

The car runs better than great and sounds awesome.  Of the 186k on the car, only 22k are on brand new engine.  I think the old one blew a head gasket...don’t know for sure.  It was too inconvenient at the time to deal with it so I just bought a new engine.  I will give you the original engine as a bonus (along with the storage case the new one came in).  At 26 years of age, the car is starting to burn a little oil J.  I’ve only used premium gasoline since I bought him.  Below is the history sheet I’ve kept on "Henry" since day one.  His name is Henry because during the week he was Professor Henry Jones but on the weekend he turned into Indiana!  I LOVE this car but must sell it to help with my dad's healthcare...he's a Korean War Veteran with Alzheimer's.

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs

Fri, Dec 6 2019

General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.
