Hey guys, newbie here. Just bought a 1989 LX 5.0 convertible w/AOD tranny. 38k miles, orig owner, garaged and covered since new. Never seen snow or rain. Been driven 700 miles the last 7 years. Great condition. Only mods previous owner did was 3.73 gears and Dynomax exhaust in ‘07. Looking to wake the car up a bit. Can anyone recommend any other mods? Not looking to race it. I’m 55 and just looking to cruise with it. Thanks for your inputP

Find some police interceptor parts for it
Top that off with the expensive police blue silicone radiator hoses for looks
Not sure what all the differences were inside the engine
Usually camshaft and timing gears
Keep it mostly stock if you want it to last forever

Thanks. Getting sub frame connectors and flowmaster original 40s done later this week. That’s as far as I’ll go for mods. Want to keep it stock. Also want to replace the top with a black one

Very clean and unmolested. Inside like new. Sucks it’s an AOD but can’t have everything. Sub frame connectors and flowmaster 40s getting done this week
