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.

FBI investigating recently fired Ford engineer for espionage

Fri, 25 Jul 2014

Agents of the FBI are investigating a potential case of industrial espionage involving a recently fired Ford employee. The Dearborn, MI-based manufacturer had its world headquarters searched by FBI agents on July 11, and according to The Detroit News, had warrants to seize recording devices handed over to Ford by Sharon Leach, a now-former Ford engineer.
Leach, who had spent 17 years with the Blue Oval, was fired last month, after Ford Security relieved her of eight Sansa listening devices. The FBI got involved shortly after her dismissal, searching her home on June 20 and seizing some two dozen items, including computers, jump drives and financial records, according to warrants obtained by The News.
Ford has remained quiet on the matter, with spokeswoman Susan Krusel confirming that the automaker was working with the FBI as part of a "joint investigation," while declining to provide any additional details.

Chris Harris checks out Ken Block's Hoonicorn '65 Mustang

Thu, Dec 4 2014

Ken Block's Hoonicorn, which stars in Gymkhana Seven, might still bear a passing resemblance to a vintage 1965 Ford Mustang, but underneath the skin, the car is one of the baddest custom machines to ever do a smoky burnout on the road. The ever enthusiastic British auto journalist Chris Harris is now showing what really makes Block's new ride tick on video, and Harris even gets to go for quite a ride. The only Mustang components really left on the Hoonicorn are the A-pillar, B-pillar and roof, according to Harris. Everything else is ditched to create Block's ultimate Gymkhana tool. The 845-horsepower, 6.7-liter Rousch Yates V8 sits behind the front axle, and the grunt is routed to all four wheels through a Sadev gearbox usually found on Dakar Rally vehicles. The whole drivetrain is packed with cool little touches; like that giant handbrake that also disconnects power from the front wheels when in use. The superlatives about the Hoonicorn could go on forever, but settle in and let a very excited Harris tell you about just some of them. He's like a kid in a candy store here, and the look that combines surprise, fear and joy during his ride with Block is the kind that lacks a suitable word in the English language.

Ford Australia reveals updated Territory, Falcon via Twitter

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

Ford may have tied together much of its global lineup under the One Ford campaign, but one market where it still offers unique products is Australia. That will soon draw to a close as well, but before it does, the Blue Oval's Aussie operations are rolling out refreshed versions of its two unique products. For the moment, Ford isn't revealing much in the way of powertrain details, but it has shown off a couple of snaps of the revised products on its in-market Twitter feed.
First up is the new Territory. The SUV is neither based on a front-drive crossover platform nor on a truck frame, but shares its rear-drive underpinnings with the Falcon, taking it a step beyond the Falcon wagon alongside which it sits in Ford's Aussie range. Like the outgoing third-generation SZ Territory, the facelifted version is dominated by a narrow grille and larger front air dam, but further punctuates its big-chinned look with more rugged lower cladding and other metallic inserts that bring its look up to date.
And there's the Falcon, which Ford revealed in XR8 trim just last week and is now presenting in G6E spec. If the XR8 is the performance model, the G6E is the luxury version, swapping in more refined trim like a chrome-slat grille (instead of a black honeycomb), chrome foglamp surrounds, less-aggressive multi-spoke wheels (instead of five-spokes) and a flatter hood (instead of a power bulge). Otherwise, it looks essentially the same as the one we saw last week, its facelift bringing it more in line with the smaller, front-drive Mondeo (which we know here as the Fusion) and other members of the Ford family.
