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.

Vile Gossip | Adventures in tire testing
Fri, Oct 13 2017Jean Jennings has been writing about cars for more than 30 years, after stints as a taxicab driver and as a mechanic in the Chrysler Proving Grounds Impact Lab. She was a staff writer at Car and Driver magazine, the first executive editor and former president and editor-in-chief of Automobile Magazine , the founder of the blog Jean Knows Cars and former automotive correspondent for Good Morning America . She has lifetime awards from both the Motor Press Guild and the New England Motor Press Association. This is her first column for Autoblog — look for more Vile Gossip in the future. I began writing at Car and Driver magazine back in its golden age in the 1970s, before I'd actually read it. I knew very little about cars. The only magazine I read religiously was Four Wheeler because I owned big trucks and liked to go off-roading with my Chrysler Proving Grounds friends. My vast 10 years of driving experience up to that point (high-speed dirt-road idiot, taxicab driver, Chrysler Proving Grounds test driver) had less bearing on my being hired at Car and Driver than the fact that the editor just wanted to rile up the all-male staff. He didn't need me for that. They were already in full dudgeon when I arrived. They'd just spent a chunk of time testing a stack of tires for their big tire-test issue, and the editor-in-chief was toe-to-toe with the technical editor over the rankings of the top 10 tires. It was loud, and it was angry. I had no idea that car magazines tested tires. Cab driving had led me to believe that airing up a tire and changing a flat was all you needed to know. I changed so many flats on that cab, I eventually wound up in front of a live audience on the " Oprah Winfrey Show" demonstrating my brilliance with a jack and a tire iron. My point, of course, is that tires are more controversial, and also more essential, than you'd think. My other point is that it's good to get worked up about the subject, but not quite so good to let yourself be seen, as I did, on my hands and knees with my ass up in the air on national TV. This is how I prefer to test a tire: First, pick a top brand. Then accept their invitation to try and beat the crap out of their tire. I chose Yokohama, celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The big news for them was the GEOLANDER M/T G003!
Ford Recalls '13 Escape For 11th Time
Fri, Aug 15 2014Only in dealer showrooms for two years now, the 2013 Ford Escape has already been recalled for safety hazards 11 times. The most recent recall for the beleaguered vehicle came Friday, when the company announced it was recalling almost 160,000 Escapes and Focus ST hatchbacks from the '13 and '14 model years because of a wiring problem that could cause the engine to stall. Caused by a faulty wiring harness, Ford said the defect could result in reduced power, hesitation or outright stalling. The company said it knew of no crashes or injuries caused by the flaw. Customers affected will be notified by mail. It was the latest problem for a vehicle beset by recalls from the moment it started rolling off the assembly lines. Starting on July 6, 2012, the '13 Escapes have been recalled for an assortment of problems, including multiple hazards with fuel lines that could result in engine fires, fluid leaks in the engine that could also result in fires, problems with engines overheating, delays in airbags deploying and more.

Ford pits The Stig against Gran Turismo 6 in Focus ST Goodwood run
Thu, 03 Jul 2014The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the world great automotive gatherings. So, it was the perfect event for Ford to give the refreshed 2015 Focus ST its world debut in front of a loving public. It even surprised us with a new diesel-powered version, as well.
The Blue Oval really put its focus on making the ST a better driver for this refresh. It left its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder alone to still pump out a respectable 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. The changes like a retuned front suspension, electric power steering and improved interior made the hot hatch an even better place to spend time behind the wheel.
To prove that the Focus ST is still as potent as ever, Ford set up a one-on-one race up the Goodwood Hill. But instead of putting the two cars side-by-side, former Stig from Top Gear UK, Ben Collins, piloted the real model up the course, and his rival drove the virtual version in Gran Turismo 6. The two hot hatches set off at the same time to see whether reality could beat the virtual world, and the finish was actually extremely close. Scroll down to watch the video and find out the winner of this battle at Goodwood.
