Hi my name is Chuck I'm 74 and I've owned Mustangs and Fairlanes since the begining. My first Fairlane was a new 66 GTA and my first mustang was a new 64 1/2 K code coupe
I moved from West Tennessee to North Carolina in August. Before moving I sold my 93 Cobra and my 84 anniversary car. Two months without a Mustang was long enough I got this 89 coupe about a month ago
.Been looking long before I moved and couldn't find one that was stock with no mods.
This one is a one owner with about 70,000 miles. I believe the only thing changed was an aftermarket radio. A few items I want to change is lowering car about 1', changing wheels to the LMR 93 Chrome Cobra wheels, paint the black side and bumper moldings to the body color, and replace radio with a oem one . I also need to spiff up the engine compartment some. here is a few pics.

It looks perfect! I love the way the 93 cobra wheels look on a notch.

thanks for all the compliments, the car will be nicer after I do the little detail work. Clean coupes are getting harder to fine.

That is spectacular! I see vin stickers on both fenders and the front fascia. Original vin stickers are a very good sign, especially up front because of the weak fox brakes.

the orig vin stickers are present on both doors and quarters and the trunk lid.
It has a couple of door dings in each door not bad but I'll get fixed.

The moldings staying black.Car is so original I don't think I'll change anything except the wheels and put oem radio back in.
I'll store the stock wheels.
