Up for Sale is a 1989 Ford Mustang GT. 5.0L Automatic. A little over 89,000 miles. 25th Anniversary Edition. Always garage kept, mostly stock. Very good condition, fun and fast.

I did a lot of work on the car right after I got it. Roughly 9 years ago.

Aftermarket Konig Rims (4 lug) with Kumho Tires. Tires are in good shape, but not new. Original rims will come with the vehicle. 

Added long headers and a full Dynomax Cat-back Exhaust.

AOD Transmission was replaced with a brand new AOD transmission with Shift Kit and additional clutch plates.

Re-Painted the original color, the old paint was really dull.

Sony Explode CD player w/ 2 MTX 10" Subs.

Top goes up and down easily.

New water pump last year.

Again, this car is 25 years old now.

A few items I want to point out. The front seats are a little worn, but can be re-covered, they are easily available on-line.

The top will need to be replaced at some point. The stitching below the rear window is giving out (SEE PIC) and there is a small pucture hole in the top from parking lot vandalism. The last time I drove it in the rain, it did not leak.

There is also a small spot coming through above the rear wheel. The shop that painted the car was supposed to repair this when painting it, but did not. (SEE PIC)

The rear main seal has started to leak, probably from sitting and not being driven. Can be driven as is, just need to keep an eye on the oil level and top off once in a while. 

Again, this car is in very good condition overall. These are just minor items, but I wanted to point them out.

I have only driven this car like a 100 miles in the last 6 years. It needs to get driven, that's the only reason I want to sell it. Let someone else it enjoy it now.

I require a $500 non-refundable deposit. Full payment within 7 days by certified check or cash.

The car will not leave until paid in full and clear.

The buyer is reponsible for all shipping.

There is no warranty implied or expressed. Car is sold 'as is'.

Please contact me if you would like to come inspect the vehicle.

Detroit Three's lucrative pickup war intensifies as Ram makes big gains

Thu, Jan 3 2019

DETROIT — The battle for profits from sales of large pickup trucks is intensifying among the Detroit Three automakers as sales of small cars in the United States shrivel. For decades Ford has had the single best-selling truck brand in its F-Series trucks. General Motors' Chevrolet brand was a solid No. 2, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram was a distant third. Now, that hierarchy may be in flux. Sales figures for December and the fourth quarter released on Thursday show Ram tied with GM's Chevy for the No. 2 spot, as sales of the redesigned Ram pickup surged, fueled in part by demand for an optional 12-inch (30.48 cm) dashboard screen. Chevy not long ago held second place to Ford by a wide margin. GM executives said on Thursday they are bullish on their new GMC and Chevy trucks for 2019.Related: How the Detroit Three's pickups compare on paper 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie review 2019 Chevy Silverado 2.7L four-cylinder review 2019 Ford F-150 2.7L EcoBoost review "There's no doubt this segment (pickup trucks) is one of the epicenters of the auto wars," said Sandor Piszar, director of marketing for Chevrolet at GM. "It's been that way forever, and we wouldn't have it any other way." On Wall Street, investors give electric car leader Tesla a higher valuation than any of the Detroit automakers. But in the nation's heartland, big pickups remain far more popular and profitable than any electric car — and most other consumer vehicles of any kind. Large pickups generate at least $17,000 a vehicle in pretax profit for GM, the company has indicated in disclosures to investors. By contrast, many Detroit Three sedans are so unprofitable, their manufacturers have decided not to build them anymore. 'Hotly contested' Sustaining sales and pricing in the large-pickup segment will be critical in a year when most forecasters expect overall U.S. car and light truck sales to fall. Ford's U.S. sales chief, Mark LaNeve, on Thursday called the F Series "the backbone of our franchise" during a conference call, and added the "segment will continue to be strong, but hotly contested" in 2019. Automakers are banking on pickup truck sales to stay strong even if U.S. interest rates continue to rise. Rising interest rates translate into higher monthly car payments and are expected to deter some buyers in 2019. GM has said 27 percent of Chevrolet and GMC trucks — which can haul trailers by day and substitute for a luxury sedan by night — sell for more than $55,000.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Ford shareholders happy as the Blue Oval stays in the black

Fri, May 15 2015

Ford posted slightly falling global sales and revenue in its first-quarter financial announcement, but pre-tax profits and operating margins were up. Apparently, that was plenty to keep shareholders happy, though. The Blue Oval's recent investor meeting in Delaware lasted less than an hour, and a vote on the approval of the board passed by over 93 percent. Ford CEO Mark Fields continued to predict a strong year financially and increasing profits, according to the Detroit Free Press. The growth comes thanks in large part to the company's 24 global vehicle launches last year and 15 more this year. The likelihood of significant profits from the strong-selling 2015 F-150 should be especially lucrative, too. In the Q1 announcement, the Blue Oval forecast pre-tax profits between $8.5 billion and $9.5 billion for 2015. During the meeting, Fields said that the next 15 years of changes in the industry represent the "ultimate opportunity as a company. As big as when Henry Ford put the world on wheels more than 100 years ago," according to the Free Press. Investments like the expanded technology center in Silicon Valley should push that work along.
