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.

2018 Ford F-150 Powerstroke vs. 2018 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel: comparing the specs
Mon, Jan 8 2018Now that Ford has finally released specifications for its diesel Ford F-150, we can finally see how it stacks up against its sole competition, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. Naturally, since we haven't driven the new diesel F-150, we can't tell you which is better on the road, but there are interesting things we can glean from the numbers. Compare these and other potential new vehicle purchases using our tool. For one thing, the two trucks are extremely similar from a powertrain perspective. Both trucks use a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 diesel, with the Ford using a 10-speed automatic, and the Ram using an 8-speed automatic. The Powerstroke engine is built in the U.K. but specifically tuned by Ford for American pickup truck duty. It is also is related to the diesel V6 used by Jaguar and Land Rover. The Ram 1500's engine is made by VM Motori. Only 10 horsepower and 20 pound-feet of torque separate the two, with the Ford getting the slight advantage. The Ford also produces its horsepower and torque slightly sooner than the Ram. Peak power in the Ford comes at 3,250 rpm compared to 3,600 rpm in the Ram, and peak torque arrives at 1,750 rpm in the Ford, and 2,000 rpm in the Ram. View 9 Photos More significant differences become apparent in the payload and towing area, both of which put the Ford at an advantage. The F-150 Powerstroke can carry 2,020 pounds of cargo, or tow 11,400 pounds. The Ram EcoDiesel, depending on configuration, can carry 1,100 to 1,600 pounds of cargo, and tow between 7,560 and 9,210 pounds. Fuel economy might go to the Ford if it hits the company's target of 30 mpg highway. That would beat the Ram's 27 mpg highway. We don't know what Ford's target city mpg is, but the Ram manages 20 in town with two-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive drops the city rating to 19 mpg. View 6 Photos The biggest decider between the trucks might be cost. Ford is only offering its diesel engine on higher end trims, which means that the cheapest diesel F-150 starts at $46,315. That's for a two-wheel drive Lariat extended cab with a 6.5-foot bed. Ram on the other hand, offers the diesel in everything from its ultra-bare-bones Tradesman pickup, allowing for a base price of just $28,585, up to the fancy Laramie Longhorn and Limited trims. Ram's diesel is also available with all cab variants, while Ford's is only offered in extended- and double-cab body styles.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year.
