We are selling our 1989 Mustang GT Convertible with a Factory 5.0 V-8 Engine with only 50K Original Miles on it (the car has a total of 170K miles). New Radiator, Water Pump and Thermostat, New Battery, Heater Core (all within the last 12 Months). The Transmission is a Borg Warner T-5 Five Speed (also with 50K Original Miles as well as the Clutch ) (this Mustang originally had an AOD Automatic Transmission). The Engine and Transmission were taken from a wrecked 1992 Mustang GT with only 45,000 Original Miles on it. The Brakes are New, Front and Rear (less than 100 Miles on them). Since putting the Engine and Transmission in about 10 years ago, we have put about 5,000 Miles on it and that is why we are selling it. We have no reason to keep putting the Insurance on it! We currently have 10 Vehicles and 6 of those are Mustangs!

As far as "Car Fax", they show this Vehicle as Free & Clear but, the "Mileage Exceeds the Vehicles Mechanical Limits". This means that it has "more than 100,000 Miles on it" as disclosed in the 1st. line of the Description. The Car is over 20 Years Old and that would be expected.

 This Mustang started life as an LX but we added the GT Ground Effects and as you can see, it needs to be repainted. A tree branch fell on the left fender and the hood so those have been replaced with used Factory Ford Parts. The damaged caused was minimal but it was more cost effective to just replace the parts.

The Black Interior was taken out of a wrecked 1990 GT Convertible to replace the Original Red Interior. This also includes the ever so RARE  Factory Black Tweed Seats! They have NOT been Painted or Dyed! RARE!

All of the Power Options work except for the Air Conditioning (we just don't use it here in South Dakota).

The 4 or 5 Year Old Convertible Top is in Excellent Condition and should last you quite awhile too.

There is Absolutely NO RUST on this car! We moved to South Dakota 6 Years ago (from California) and have managed to put on about 200 Miles per Year and that is the reason we have decided to sell it.


 Paint it, Charge the A/C and Drive it ANYWHERE! We can drive and meet you for delivery to save the cost of shipping. Just contact us to make arrangements prior to buying. Car must be paid in full first.


 Call 605 673-3198 before 8:00 PM Mountain Time for any other details or to come see it.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.

Consumer Reports: Ford Fusion fun but flawed; Mitsubishi i-MiEV slow, chintzy [w/videos]

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Waiting for a Ford compliment from Consumer Reports these days is like waiting for a low-cost new product from Apple. So we weren't really expecting a glowing review of the 2013 Ford Fusion when CR got its hands on the car. The institute's crew bought three different versions of the Fusion (Hybrid, 1.6-liter EcoBoost and a Titanium with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost) to put through its barrage of tests, and while we aren't too surprised by some of the findings, they're still interesting nonetheless.
CR praises the Fusion for its "eye-catching" design and says that the sportier Titanium trim level is the best-handling midsize sedan they've ever tested, but that's about where the good news ends for Ford. The Fusion Hybrid also posted the best-ever fuel economy CR has recorded in a midsize sedan, but the only problem is that their number was 39 miles per gallon combined - far less than Ford's 47 mpg rating for city, highway and combined. As expected, CR also dinged the Fusion for its MyFord Touch, but some of the other gripes about the car include a cramped cabin and poor fit and finish.
Other Ford products tested this time around include the Focus Electric and C-Max Hybrid. Like the Fusion, CR's observed fuel economy of 37 mpg for the C-Max fell well short of Ford's advertised 47-mpg rating, and both cars were criticized for the use of MyFord Touch. CR notes that the Focus Electric's interior is also cramped, with the battery pack taking up a lot of cargo space.
