I'm picking this one up on Monday. It's a 1989 LX Notchback, original 5.0L, 5 speed, mint black interior car with 82k original miles. It's Dark Grey Metallic (1D paint code) and still wears the original paint. I was told it's one of 405 made in this color that year, but I've come to distrust Mustang production numbers. If anyone can verify, that would be nice. It came from Virginia, originally. It's pretty damn clean, but needs some things here and there. I'll be changing a lot on this car. First, I'll be cleaning the living hell out of it.

Mods:
3G 130A alternator
1.6 roller rockers
Steeda short throw shifter
Centerforce dual friction clutch
Steeda adjustable firewall clutch quadrant
FRPP aluminum driveshaft
3.55 gears w/new axle seals and hardened axles
BBK headers
BBK H-pipe
New KYB shocks and struts
BBK lowering springs
all polyurethane suspension bushings
weld-on subframe connectors
Taurus fan

Check out the pics and let me know what you think! I'll have better ones soon.

Sweet! My buddie's 88 Coupe was originally that color. I like it!

Part of me wishes that I could buy/sell cars as often as you do, because all the different experiences you get from driving all those different cars. But I just get too attached. All my cars I have now are good cars and I don't really want to let any go because they've treated me well and are a lot of fun. I'm kind of sentimental.

Thanks man! It looks like I buy/sell/trade a lot, but those cars listed in my sig are all of the cars I've owned from 2002 to present. Nine years is a long time when you're 25 and have the attention span of a goldfish Some cars have meant more to me than others, but the current lot are staying forever I think. The Barracuda means a whole lot to me and I have big plans for this notch too. Thanks for the compliments man, much appreciated!

Haha, yeah I guess you and I are the same that way. It looks to me like your wallet is a liiiiiitle bit bigger than mine at 25, but more power to you man. You must work your ass off for it.

Thanks! Oh it's black alright, and in great shape. Like said, it just looks grey in the sun.

+1

The interior is not original to the car, but for a swap, it was done well with a clean donor

Absolutely right. The interior is from a 93 donor car. That's pretty well evidenced by the fact that black interior wasn't available in 1989 as an option. I should have worded that differently in the original post.

Well, I'm picking it up Monday. I plan on keeping it until at least Tuesday afternoon.

How about your thoughts on the car, or something productive?

No hate at all dude! Sorry, I just get a little tired of the "how long until you sell it" thing sometimes haha. I guess I deserve it though! No harm done, thanks for the compliments!

Adams91LX · May 15, 2011

Looks like a great coupe... Well done.

Thank you! I'm on the fence about the wheels. Right now I'm thinking silver 93 cobras or 5 lug swap and 18" black saleens. Depends on the budget I guess. The ponies are going byebye regardless, though.

Well, that didn't last too long...
