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.

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.

Autoblog Video: Looking back on the 1965 Shelby GT350

Mon, Aug 17 2015

The first Shelby GT350 Mustang came out a year after the first Ford Mustang, a collaboration between the carmaker and Carroll Shelby bent on making the Mustang a race winner. Perhaps even better than the car is Shelby's story behind its creation, when Ford chairman Lee Iaccoca gave him the "impossible job" of turning "a secretary's car... into a sports car." Shelby and his cohorts got that job done immediately, taking three SCCA B-Class national championships. The latest Ford Shelby GT350 is coming a year after the latest Mustang's debut, and it's certainly got the specs on paper to look like a track monster, especially in GT350R form. This year the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Shelby GT350 Mustang, and the Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance featured the car in a special category. We took the opportunity to look at what makes the old GT350 so special, and why the new one stays true to the legendary name. Check it out in the video above. Related Video:

2017 Ford Fusion facelift comes into focus

Sun, Apr 12 2015

The latest generation Ford Fusion has been one of the better-looking members of the mainstream midsize sedan ranks since its introduction for the 2013 model year. In the automotive world, though, even the most attractive designs don't stay fresh for long. These new spy shots shed some light on what to expect when the model is refreshed, possibly for 2017. With only a modicum of camouflage here, it's not exactly hard to see where the Fusion is getting design tweaks. Up front, the wide grille remains, but the lower air dam appears to have restyled recesses for the fog lights. Also, while it's difficult to get an exact look, the headlights seem a little rounder through the concealment. Moving to the rear, the lower bumper shows some tweaks, but those circular pipes are obviously just there for testing. With a light on, you can a good glimpse of the redesigned taillights too. Based on these photos, Ford's stylists know a good thing when they have it, and it doesn't look like the Fusion's general look will have any monumental changes. Still, it's worth a minute to click through the gallery for a preview of the refreshed design. Related Video:
