For Sale I have a 1989 (25^th 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.

Ford hybrid sales rebound following MPG controversy

Sun, 31 Aug 2014

Ford hybrid customers apparently have very short memories. With two EPA fuel economy reratings in the last year, sales of the C-Max, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ haven't been too terribly dented, Ward's Auto reports.
All three vehicles saw sales dips following the August 2013 rerating, although sales of the MKZ Hybrid had begun to rebound as early as November of that year. C-Max sales, meanwhile, took slightly longer, with sales on a steadily improving course as early as February of this year.
The second rerating, in June of this year, has had an even smaller effect on the Blue Oval's hybrids. The C-Max has actually been subject to a sales increase, while both the MKZ and Fusion saw minor sales drops (less than 400 units between the two in the month following the rerating).

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Ford Fiesta banned from SCCA autocrossing because of rollover risk

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Autocross can be a great way to break into motorsports, especially at SCCA events that allow run-of-the-mill, street-legal vehicles to be run through the cones in parking lots across the country. But while a wide array of vehicles are eligible, not every one is. And now the Ford Fiesta has been removed from the list of qualifying vehicles in the Sports Car Club of America's Street category for solo events. The removal of the Fiesta was publicized in the latest issue of the SCCA's Fastrack News bulletin, which stated that, due to roll-over risk, Fiestas "do not meet the requirements and are to be removed" from the HS category of eligible vehicles. H Stock (or HS for short) is the lowest category of vehicles certified by the SCCA for use in sanctioned events. The disqualification applies to Fiestas from the 2011 model year onwards, and does not apply to the Fiesta ST, which remains eligible. Of course the Fiesta isn't the only model deemed ineligible for SCCA autocross events. According to Jalopnik, other small hatchbacks and crossovers including the Dodge Caliber, Fiat 500, Scion xB and iQ, Nissan Juke and Mini Countryman are also prohibited from competition. We've reached out to both Ford and the SCCA for clarification on the issue, and will issue an update if and when we receive any substantial information.
