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.

Bill Ford augments his power by nearly doubling stake of supervoting shares

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

Bill Ford Jr. has more sway than ever over the automaker that bears his surname, as the great-grandson of Ford's founder has reportedly doubled is holdings of Class B Ford stock. According to a report from Reuters (which cites a newly discovered securities filing), he acquired some 3.7 million Class B shares from an unnamed family member.
Class B shares of Ford stock are held by descendants of Henry Ford and offer expanded voting power to their holders - Bill Ford Jr. now controls roughly 11.5 percent of the total Class B pool. Ford Jr. is also a one of five trustees that manage a voting trust that oversees the majority of these "supervoting" shares. In total, Reuters reports there are 71 million Class B shares that account for 40 percent of the voting power in the company, despite making up just 2 percent of the total volume of all Ford stock.
Ford Jr. served as Ford's CEO until 2006, when he stepped down to hire and make space for current CEO, Alan Mulally. The move to consolidate Ford family voting power, at least somewhat, is seen by many as a comforting sign with Mulally's departure from the company likely to happen in the next several years.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit can haul on the track

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

Line up any two comparable vehicles, and eople are going to want to race them. Need proof? In its latest track battle, Auto Express wants to know which commercial vehicle can lap a circuit faster - a Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Let's face it, neither of these European vans were ever meant to be near the track unless they are delivering a racecar and a ton of parts for a fun weekend, but it's massively fun to watch them give it a go anyway.
The one thing that Auto Express really illustrates here is the modern marvel that is stability control. The driver hops curves, and these big vans lean in the corners like your friend walking home from a long night at the bar. However, because of the amazing stability systems, the vans mostly keep all of their wheels planted and never seem close to getting sloppy, despite their behemoth size.
Unfortunately, the two vans aren't exactly fairly paired. The Ford has a dual rear axle and a few other advantages over the Mercedes, but it's still hilarious to watch them go. Even better, the host breaks down everything happening behind the wheel like these commercial vehicles were two Porsches. Enjoy watching this very unorthodox battle between Ford and Mercedes.

2015 Ford Shelby GT350, GT350R Mustang option pricing leaked [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 28 2015

UPDATE: Ford wasn't willing to elaborate on Mustang6G's pricing report, with spokesperson Said Deep simply saying, "We haven't announced pricing at this time." The limited availability of the new 2015 GT350 and GT350R isn't the only Ford Mustang news today, as a leaked report by Mustang6G has shined a light on the cost of the optional equipment we first reported on way back in January. First, we have the standard GT350. As we reported earlier, only 50 cars will get the $7,500-Tech Package, which includes magnetic ride control, navigation with Sync 3, dual-zone climate control, and heated, air-conditioned, leather-upholstered, and powered seats. The other 50 standard models will get the $6,500-Track Package. You'll still get magnetic ride control, selectable driving modes and enhanced cooling systems for the engine oil, trans and diff. Stand-alone navigation is $795, a black roof is $695, stripes are $475, and as with the standard Mustang, Triple Yellow Clearcoat paint is $495. Fancy one of the just 37 GT350Rs? You'll pony up (pun intended) an extra $3,500 on top of the price of a GT350. From there, Mustang6G cites a $3,000-SVT Touring Package, which we think references the Electronics Package (navigation, Sync 3, and dual-zone climate control). Outside of those two items, the GT350R's only additional options include a black roof, stand-alone nav, and stripes, all of which carry the same price as the standard car. Like our report earlier today, these prices appear to only be for the 2015 model. While production outputs for the 2016 will probably increase, we can't be sure whether these prices be carried over, as well. Mustang6G claims it will have a starting price "very soon," which we'll naturally bring you as soon as it's published. We've also reached out to Ford to confirm this report as well as get any info on the GT350's starting price. Stay tuned. Related Video:
