1989 (25th Anniversary Edition) Ford Mustang Lx, 5.0 Liter, No Rust, New Paint on 2040-cars
Wallingford, Connecticut, United States
|
For Sale I have a 1989 (25th Anniversary Edition)
Ford Mustang LX, 5.0 Liter. I purchased
this car in 2007 and have driven it very little. I bought the car from an adult and am one
myself. It was never beat up. I bought the car because it had NO turbo,
nitrous or supercharger. The car was and
still is all naturally aspirated. It
came with GT40 Intake, Headers, beefed up Injectors, MSD, improved air intake
and throttle body. It took me three
years to find a clean example of the car that wasn’t heavy beat on, modified or
rusted. This car is all original with
some tasteful virtually unseen upgrades. The car also has Cobra Rims; Newer Nito tires with 98% tread
left, short shifter, and comfortable racing seats. When I bought it I had an auto body shop cut out what little
rust was there, replace the metal and paint the car including all exterior
moldings. I spent $4,500 on this
project. The paint is 100% but they did
put on too much clear coat. A light wet
sanding may help but isn’t necessary. This is a list of some of the additional fixes / new parts
on the car: Battery Tray, Screw Kit, Distributor Cap, Spark Plug Set, Fuel
Filter, Plugs, Temp Sensor, Heater Core, Door Hinge Set, Prop Rod Clip,
Flashers, Battery Hold Down, Key Ring, Radiator Overflow Tank, Chrome Cap, Fan,
Hose Kit, Radiator Overflow Tank Cap, Ashtray Drink Holder, H-Pipe w/ Cats
2.5" 79/93 5.0L w/ Shorties (BBK), Flow Master Exhaust System, Headlight
Assembly, Silicone, Hatch Hinge, Weather Strip, Hood Pins, Door Hinge Pin and
Bushings, Car Cover, Solenoid, Battery Cables, and New Starter. This car was maintained with an open checkbook. If something broke, I fixed it. The car has one problem I have not had the
time to fix. Something is draining the
battery. I believe it is the driverside
sun visor. It has a light that comes on
when you open the mirror. The fabric has
stretched a bit over the years and I believe in the closed position, the light
is remaining on. I have installed a battery
terminal kill kit to temporarily fix the problem. Other than that everything is in perfect
running order. A couple of things to consider if you want this car. 1.
The title is “True Mileage Unknown”. The odometer reads 60k+ and I have no reason
to believe it’s not accurate. The
odometers in these cars only go to 99,999 and then they reset back to 0. It is possible that the car has 160k but I
don’t believe it to be. If you drive the
car, you’ll feel how tight everything is.
The car idles perfectly and is responsive and very strong. I maybe put a couple of hundred miles a year
on it. I hardly ever drive it and that’s
why I am selling it. 2.
The air conditioner has been removed and the
pulley’s have been changed out to increase horsepower. This is a common cheap power upgrade to those
of you familiar with these cars. It can
be reinstalled but I do not have the parts to do so. That’s it. I can’t
express to you how well this car drives.
It would make the perfect car for any fan of the fox body mustangs. On Nov-12-13 at 20:50:04 PST, seller added the following information:
Please Note: One of the eBay buyers pointed out that the vehicle report clearly states the mileage to be 160,000. I can not and will not argue the report. The title does say "True Mileage Unknown". After reading the report, I can't understand why buts that's what it says. I left the original ad and just added this note instead of changing it to not confuse or mislead anyone.

Camaro chief: 'rock-star' 4-cylinder set for Mustang fight
Wed, Jul 8 2015It was inevitable, the 2016 Chevy Camaro had to have a four-cylinder engine. The archrival Ford Mustang packs a spunky 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-banger, and everyone from BMW to Subaru uses four-cylinders to great effect to power their sports cars. Now it's Chevy's turn. Again. The Camaro ran the infamous Iron Duke four-cylinder with 88 to 92 horsepower in the 1980s. It was a fuel-economy play at a time when performance was not a priority. After the 1970s muscle-car era, output even for the V8s didn't top 200 hp again until the mid-'80s. Thankfully for enthusiasts, things have changed dramatically in the last 30 years. The gen six Camaro will offer a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder with 275 horsepower. It's the standard engine, slotting below the 335-hp V6 and the 455-hp V8. But don't mistake the new I4 for an Iron Duke encore. Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser called it a "rock star" and said cars equipped with it feel lighter than V6 models. The four-cylinder (295 pound-feet at 3,000-4,500 rpm) also summons more torque in quicker fashion than the V6 (284 lb-ft at 5,300 rpm). Chevy expects the Camaro to hit 60 miles per hour in "well under six seconds," according to press materials. The Mustang EcoBoost (310 hp, 320 lb-ft) clocks times in the low to mid five-second range. "We're not doing it just so we have one," Oppenheiser said. "We're not doing it because like in gen three you're forced to do it because of fuel economy. We're doing it because it belongs in the car. It has a distinct character." Speaking with Autoblog recently at the Detroit Grand Prix racecourse on Belle Isle, Oppenheiser said he expects the I4 to attract a younger crowd to the Camaro and will put up stiff competition against the V6 for sales. "I've read blogs where younger folks won't buy a Camaro because it doesn't have a 2.0-liter turbo or a turbocharged four-cylinder," he said. "So we're going to excite them." While we talked a lot about four-cylinder engines, Oppenheiser also elaborated on the V6 (It's pretty damn good, too. We drove it.) and the new Alpha platform that the Camaro borrowed from Cadillac. Here's the rest of our edited conversation. Autoblog: Talk a little bit about the four-cylinder – the first turbo four-cylinder ever for Camaro. Do you have any idea what the take rate's going to be? Al Oppenheiser: I think it's going to surprise a lot of people. It's actually a fun car to drive. It's got a really good balance of turbo noise and exhaust note.
Ford announces recall of 220,000 units in three different actions
Wed, Mar 25 2015Ford has announced three separate recalls affecting 220,000 vehicles built between model years 2011 and 2015. By far the biggest affects just under 213,000 Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility SUVs from MY2011 through 2013. In these vehicles, a spring in the doorway handle could be come unseated, Ford reports, causing the doors to open in a side-impact accident. The affected vehicles were built over a wide range of dates, starting with February 1, 2011 and November 30, 2012. As usual, the majority of the 212,911 vehicles were sold in the US market – 194,484 vehicles, in fact, while Canada and Mexico split the remainder, with 12,392 and 6,035, respectively. The other two recalls focus on specialty vehicles, with Ford recalling 6,500 F-Series Super Duty ambulances and emergency trucks from model years 2011 to 2015. In the case of the 2014 and 2015 F-Series, only trucks with the 6.7-liter turbodiesel are affected. These trucks may have faulty exhaust gas sensors, which according to Ford, could cause the trucks to think they're in a high-temperature situation. The trucks in questions were built at Ford's Kentucky truck plant between February 22, 2010 and February 1, 2015. Finally, the Blue Oval is recalling 1,725 specialty Lincoln MKT crossovers from MY2013 to 2015. These include limos and hearses built between March 6, 2012 and March 4, 2015. Affected MKTs may have a faulty vacuum pump relay that could cause a fire under the hood. In the case of the Explorers, dealers will inspect all four door handles and repair them as needed. The Super Duty's will get software updates, while the MKTs will have the vacuum pump relays replaced outright. A pair of MKT fires has been the only reported incident caused by the recalled components, while the company is unaware of any injuries or deaths.

2016 Chevy Malibu Hybrid, now with 48 mpg city
Wed, Apr 1 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu is already one of the stars of the 2015 New York Auto Show thanks to a huge improvement in styling, lighter weight and new suite of tech. Now, Chevy is shifting the focus to the available hybrid model and detailing some more of its impressive figures. The 2016 Malibu Hybrid's powertrain consists of a 1.8-liter four-cylinder and a two-motor hybrid system with a 1.5-kilowatt hour lithium ion battery. Chevy's engineers are aiming for EPA fuel economy ratings of 48 miles per gallon city, 45 mpg highway and 47 mpg combined. The setup puts out a total of 182 horsepower, and it can accelerate the sedan to 60 miles per hour in a claimed 7.8 seconds. Also, speeds of up to 55 miles per hour can even be reached under fully electric power. Some of this efficient tech is shared with the latest Volt, including the regenerative braking. For reference, the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid carries an EPA rating of 44 mpg city, 41 mpg highway and 42 mpg combined, and its hybrid system puts out a total of 188 hp. There is a wait ahead for buyers looking to park the 2016 Malibu Hybrid in their garage, though. While the standard model should be on sale before the end of the year, the hybrid doesn't arrive in showrooms until the spring of 2016. Malibu Hybrid Estimated to Reach 48 MPG in City Driving New sedan projected to offer segment unsurpassed 47 MPG combined 2015-04-01 NEW YORK –The 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid, which uses technology from the Chevrolet Volt, will offer a General Motors-estimated 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway – and 47 mpg combined, unsurpassed in the segment, GM President Dan Ammann announced today. Ammann made the announcement at an International Motoring Press Association breakfast before the 2016 Malibu was to be unveiled at the New York International Auto Show. "Fuel efficiency is important to our customers, especially in the midsize segment and with an estimated 48 mpg city rating, the Malibu Hybrid delivers," Ammann said. An all-new direct-injection 1.8L 4-cylinder engine mated to a two-motor drive unit slightly modified from the 2016 Chevrolet Volt drive unit powers the Malibu Hybrid. The drive unit provides additional power to assist the engine during acceleration, for 182 horsepower (136 kW) of total system power. An 80-cell, 1.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack provides electric power to the Hybrid system. The advanced lithium-ion based chemistry can power the Malibu hybrid at up to 55 miles per hour on electricity alone.
