1989 Mustang LX Roller - $1,500

Clear Title

This was an original 2.3 auto car. Paint will clean up better than the pics show, I just didn’t wash it well after it sat for a while. There is one dent behind the passenger fender, the rest of the body is great.

The stud for drivers seat needs to be welded back in. The heater core is bad, but I have one to go with the car. Driveline is removed, but included. The driver seat has been removed. Engine harness & ECU have been removed. A/C system is complete, and not disconnected (can’t vouch for charge though).

2.3 Fuel lines are intact, up to the engine.

Clear headlights in front, and good LX lights in the back. All lights worked when parked.

Has an aftermarket fan controller that worked great. It is a simple on/off, with sensor switch through the radiator; Derale, I think?

Brakes were good. Tires have less than 200 miles on them (195’s). The car drove straight and smooth. Ashtray door works!

Car was complete and running until a couple weeks ago, when the transmission died.

This would make a great v8 conversion car.

Good luck selling it
It looks mostly rust free and the white paint looks pretty good overall
Have you tried selling it local?
It may have brought more money if you left it intact and just fixed the transmission

Thanks
I listed it a while back complete, all interest was as a v8 car to convert.
I will list it local…

Ya, no mentionable rust…

As painful as fakebook can be, list it in their marketplace you'll get allot more traffic. Of course with more traffic comes more questions and tire kickers though

Listing on ksl.com/classifieds is free
It is a Salt Lake City news site
Long ways from Seattle but you never know
There are quite a few mustangs on there and there is a section for non running cars
I check weekly / daily for Camaros Cobras and 911's

I put it on marketplace for now. I hate FB, but can’t deny that the world seems to revolve around it now…
I’ll try to update here if it sells, as a point of reference…

I wasn’t sure on the ac…. Is the pump likely to bolt on to a 5.0/5.8?

But the car has it
