1990 Ford Mustang GT
Hello!You're looking at my listing for a 1990 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L HO V8 with a Manual transmission
This car is rough, it's been described as "junk" - it was used by Roadkill / MotorTrend / Studio TEN for their Youtube show in episode 64 of Roadkill!
https://youtu.be/BYu7irteuOU?t=25m56s
They put new tires on it, did some donuts and drag races in the rain at an airport, broke something on the car, and then sold it to me. I've done nothing but clean out the interior (they did donuts in the rain through puddles with the windows down!) and traded the cobra intake manifold for a stock intake manifold. Now that the episode has aired, I am selling the car. I think it would be fun to put a little bit of work into it and keep it, but unfortunately I am relocating for work in July and already have 3 cars to move with me.
One major thing to note, the car hasn't run since it was delivered to me! In the episode on youtube you can see where the car dies, at one point they kicked the dash a few times and it started again. I think there's an electrical problem, as the engine cranks, it has 40psi of fuel pressure (and someone before I got this car hot-wired the fuel pump to run with key on, so it runs constantly, and the fuel pump relay under the drivers seat is missing), the ECU relay triggers with the key to run, but there is NO spark.
Again, the cobra intake manifold seen on the car during the show is NOT on the engine anymore. It has been replaced with a stock mustang 5.0HO EFI intake manifold, I did this troubleshooting the no spark condition (tried a different coil, different complete distributor w/tfi, different ecu)
Parts of interest-Manual transmission that judging on the episode seems to work fine, though one of the guys complains about the clutch a bit, no idea if it's bad as I haven't driven the carNO SMOG EQUIPMENT - this car will never pass a smog sniffer test as it currently sits.The fuel injectors are a mis-mash of randoms, they all look to be the stock flow rate of 19lbs, but there are some later model ones and earlier model ones, unfortunately I didn't have an extra set of stock injectors to swap on but I don't think this is a major concern until the no-spark condition is resolved.Full aftermarket exhaust - Shorty headers, off-road mid pipe with no cats, flowmaster mufflers without tailpipesAftermarket aluminum radiator (fan shroud isn't installed, but there is one included with car)No air conditioning, and the heater core is bypassedNew tires on 17" 4 lug chrome cobra r style wheelsSaleen style rear wing w/3rd brake lightInterior is missing a few items, the center armrest cover is gone, the panels under steering wheel are missing, the drivers seat is torn at the side bolster and leans all the way back or all the way forward without locking in between so something is wrong with that.The passengers rear taillight is cracked and looks held together with tapeThe aftermarket monster tach on the dash rolls around and I doubt is hooked up to anything, it's pretty brokenThe paintjob looks ok from 50 feet, but up close the clear is peeling and there's lots of areas with scratches and scuffs, and lots of different colors of paint showing through from under the top coat (red on bumper, calypso green it looks like on the rest of the body of the car)Fuse panel not secured under dash, lots of random wires.Car DOES NOT RUN currently
Hopefully anything you need to know about the car, is covered in the roadkill videos on youtube about the car, and what I've described here.
I am selling the car as-is, not running, for parts. It will need to be towed. I am located in zip code 93012
