 1989 FORD MUSTANG GT 5.0 Liter High Output V8
Only option this car does not have is rear window defogger, probably due to it being an Arizona car!
I'm the 2nd owner bought from a used car dealer here in Phoenix AZ, I bought it in '94 and drove it daily till 2008. I parked it and had the title marked as "STORED", this way there would be no problems registering it when I was ready to do some repairs or turn it into a street rod as I had planned to do when I parked it. It was covered most of the 5 years it has been stored and had regular starts and runs until the battery went dead. I put in a new battery and some fresh gas and it fired right up! No leaks even after 5 years when I moved it away from the spot I saw not 1 drop of anything on the concrete! I always had repairs done at a Ford Dealership directly across the street from my job. I think I have all the receipts. I have the original car stereo and amp but I didn't bother to reinstall it since I'm sure that the new buyer will not bother to use it. The car was used in car stereo competition here locally and won a trophy. There are some upgrades to the door panels making it possible to mount 2 - 6'5" speakers plus a tweeter in the front door area, with the mounting at an angle to point the speakers upward towards the listeners ears making a dramatic improvement in sound staging. The car has a very straight body and decent interior always had sheepskin covers on the seats and never had any cigarettes smoked in it. The pictures will show any closer details of any imperfections in the body including a crack in the passenger side taillight cover, a crack in the windshield, cracks in the center counsel plastic.
 It does need a few repairs to make before it will be in perfect driving order. One of them is a worn lower control arm bushing on the drivers side, the heat and sand grit tends to wear on these things, I have replaced the passenger side and have the part for the drivers side waiting to be installed. The reason I didn't install the drivers side is because the transmission developed a problem with 5th gear, when you shift into 5th gear it just freewheels, it spins but is not transferring power through the drive train. I'm not sure if the pin that holds the gears in place sheared or if there is something else wrong. It doesn't make any noises or grind it just doesn't engage the drive. Those are the only problems that exist as far as need to be fixed issues. Of course there are things that could be upgraded as with any car with higher mileage, but that's purely up to the buyer 's preferences and not really causing any real problems.
  The car is all stock and has not been raced around or driven hard, I never even got 1 speeding ticket with this car, it was always washed and had the oil changed regularly at 3000 miles. It was used mainly for a car stereo installation which lead to an upgraded alternator and custom panels. The stereo weighed about 300 Lbs with all the extra wires boxes speakers and batteries, which made the car much slower than others. I knew this and drove it as such. I have also replaced the clutch & throw out bearing, radiator, both the MAP & MAF sensors (costly little items), the fuel pump & fuel filter, the drivers side door handle was upgraded to an all metal handle, both door lock motors (pins), Mirror switch in the center counsel, rotors, brakes, smog pump, water pump, fuel injectors, the Top Engine intake was cleaned, new wires plugs and rotor, good belt, new struts, tires are a little bit larger than they should be but they are in decent shape. BF Goodrich 15" 50 series "L" sized, rub on frame in front when the wheel is turned all the way. I have a few spare tires that will go along with, also I have the original Cold Air Intake Box and K&N Filter, it now has an upgraded K&N round filter on it due to not wanting to deal with the stock box.
  It would make an excellent candidate for anyone who has a dream of building up a Fox Body Mustang
all of the parts are there and the body is straight & rust free
Most of the parts that are worn are the same parts that would be replaced in a build anyway, (springs, suspension, bushings, transmission, motor build up)
That's why I held onto it for so long, recently I was laid off from my job of 6 years and found myself faced with making a choice. The Home Owners Association here has already caused a big problem with it and I have been left with no choice since I have no cash to start the build now, I have decided to let it go!
The title has been marked as "STORED" so there will be no problem with the buyer when they decide to register it, no fines or any extra cost. This car has never failed an emissions test ever, not even close!

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat

Sat, Apr 18 2015

Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.

Fiat boss Elkann being mentored by... Bill Ford?

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Fiat Chairman John Elkann has been turning to an unusual source for advice on the car business. While speaking during an interview with The Detroit News, Elkann said he often asks Bill Ford Jr. for advice on how to proceed with the turnaround at Chrysler. "It's great to have the opportunity to share this with someone like Bill, who has experienced many things and gone through many things ... especially linked to Detroit." Elkann said.
As the Agnelli family heir, Elkann has inherited a long and fruitful friendship with the Ford family. While Giovanni Agnelli built his first Fiat four years before Henry Ford created his first vehicle, it was Ford that showed Agnelli the benefits of mass production and helped pave the way for what would become the Fiat empire.
Giovanni's grandson, Gianni, helped mentor Bill Ford when he was elected chairman of Ford Motor Company. Now, Ford is returning the favor by helping Elkann navigate the automotive industry's tumultuous waters.

Watch the Hennessey Ford GT makes its record run at Texas Mile

Wed, 27 Mar 2013

We said they'd probably be out with an official video, we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
There's not much in the video you haven't already seen, this just makes it official. That said, who doesn't want to see a twin-turbo Ford GT set an incredible speed record? You can watch it below.
