Barely driven, this beautiful, nearly pristine 1989 Mustang is a rare, iconic muscle car of the 1980s. It has received loving care for each of it's only 39,642 miles, equivalent to an average three to four year old vehicle. It has anti-lock breaks, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power locks, power seats, a CD payer, and has had a changer mounted in the trunk with the control located on the center console). There are some small tears in the vinyl top, but there are no scratches or dings, and the interior shows little wear. It’s received the 30k service, everything works great, it handles well, it’s reliable, and its brisk acceleration can be startling.

This cabernet red mustang is a completely stock, blast-to-the-past. Besides it’s classic beauty, the legendary 5.0L engine, paired with its 4-speed automatic transmission provides the smooth shifting you need to stay completely focused when you scream through a corner in a 4-wheel drift. It’s no surprise why these amazing Mustangs were chosen by the California Highway Patrol as interceptors to bring down perps at serious highway speeds. Stock, this reliable, bullet proof engine turns out 225 horsepower at 4000 rpm, and 300 in torque at only 3000 rpm, it accelerates 0-60 in 6.1 seconds, has a top speed of 145 mph, AND it does this on regular gasoline getting 15/23 in city/highway driving. This car does turn heads, especially when the top is down and the babes and dudes see the big smile on your face.

Did I mention its fun to drive?

Because of the low milage and excellent condition this is a collector’s car. However, if you wish to perform sacrilege it’s an incredible base to create your dream performance machine. The ’89 was the first to use a computerized full mass airflow system which automatically compensates for changes in air intake and exhaust output. Thus it's extremely easy to upgrade with a significant increase in torque and horsepower. For instance, an easy, bolt-on, cold air intake will give another 10-15 horsepower, and a high-flow throttle body and EGR spacer provide much more. Then there’s the exhaust overhaul, particularly long tube headers that give a tremendous boost. This should add another 100-150 horsepower to the engine. If you are really serious you can alter your cams/valves, use high compression pistons and so on, and even throw on a supercharger kit. This will push your dream machine up to around 600 hp (and you WILL need a change in suspension components) but don’t expect to be driving it on the street.
