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.

Top Gear season 25 opens with a V8 roadtrip through America

Mon, Feb 26 2018

Great news for fans of BBC Top Gear: the first episode of season 25 is here. Viewers of BBC America will catch the season opener on March 3, and for the American audience this episode is definitely suitable watching. The episode has been dedicated to V8 sportscars almost in its entirety, as it's been wrapped around a Western roadtrip with a motorsport bias. The three hosts get to choose three V8 sports cars, with the basic idea of finding the best all-rounder. Matt LeBlanc goes for a Hennessey-tuned GT350R, Rory Reid chooses a Jaguar F-Type SVR, and Chris Harris shakes up the pack by selecting a McLaren 570GT. It's a nicely varied trio, with V8 power still showing what it's good for. There are various challenges along the way, just like there should be on a Top Gear roadtrip episode – even if the road surface itself isn't always ideal. But things smoothen out, all the way to a NASCAR oval and an airport runway; the flooded Bonneville salt flats aren't suitable for shenanigans, so substitutes have to be found. The trio also hit dirt roads, and have to evade a buggy-driving Ken Block during a "moonshine run to the border." Fans of Sabine Schmitz will be pleased to find her piloting a chain car racer, which consists of two American junk cars with a Honda CRX chained in the middle. It must make sense to someone. The Star In A Reasonably Priced Car segment has been retained for this season. This time it's the British actor Rob Brydon driving the Toyota GT86, on a very wet lap around the show's Dunsfold Aerodrome track that must be a cult classic by now. All in all, the season 25 opener is exactly what it says on the tin. There's nothing out of the ordinary, but it still has excellent cinematography, V8 roar and some nice landscapes. Classic Top Gear. Cowboy duels, Sabine Schmitz chain car racing, @RobBrydon, a @kblock43 car chase and #TheStig The latest episode of #TopGear is available on @BBCiPlayer now. Outside the UK?

Ford taken to task by gov't for Chicken Tax end-around

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Ford is in a bit of a pickle for importing and selling Turkey-built Transit Connect cargo vans as passenger vehicles in the US, then converting them to commercial-vehicle specification stateside in an effort to bypass a 25-percent tax imposed on vehicles imported for commercial use. Automakers are required to pay a 2.5-percent tax on imported passenger vehicles.
The Blue Oval got into trouble for this in a January ruling in which U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials asked Ford to stop the practice of importing the Transit Connect vehicles with passenger seats, then removing and shredding them. Now Automotive News reports that Ford is appealing the ruling. The 25-percent "Chicken Tax," as the tariff is often called, is 50 years old and was enacted as a response to a German tariff on chickens. Like Ford, Chrysler bypasses the higher tariff, but it does so in a different manner. It partially disassembles Sprinter cargo vans before shipping them to the US, then rebuilds them at a plant in South Carolina.
But the ruling against Ford's strategy states that it "serves no manufacturing or commercial purpose" and is there to "manipulate the tariff schedule," Automotive News reports. As Ford's appeal goes through, it is importing the Transit Connect and paying the higher tax, hoping for a favorable outcome and planning to build the next-generation Transit Connect, which it plans to launch before the end of the year, in Spain.

Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
