Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Charlotte is proud to digitally present
this 1989 Ford Mustang LX Convertible. The 1989 model year marked
the 25th anniversary of the Ford Mustang with less fanfare than its
20th anniversary by launching a special edition that applied to all
models. As a result, the 1989 Mustang entered the market with few
significant changes to show enthusiasts. Fortunately, the word had
gotten around about the newfound performance of the 5.0 liter V8,
and they were getting snapped up by a still eager public, which
helped keep sales over 200,000 for the second year in a row.Mustang
and upgraded engine air sensors (speed density computer system was
replaced with a mass air system) for all models were the only other
"significant" updates for 1989. This made Mustangs much easier to
modify. In addition, with the mass air system, changes made to the
intake, engine, and exhaust system would be recognized and
compensated for by the ECU, resulting in a correct air/fuel ratio
and optimum power.The interior again remained the same, save for
one change. Gone was the old federally mandated 85 mph speedometer
from the GT, replaced with a fitting 140 mph speedo. Among the few
changes for 1989 was that power windows were made standard on
convertibles, and adjustable front seats were added for the LX
model.This example has a clean and tidy gray cloth interior with
that oh-so-rad pattern that transports you back to the days of
cassette tapes, the first episode of the Simpsons, not to mention
the release of the original Nintendo Gameboy! The Oxford White
paint has been refreshed and looks great; the black convertible top
is also new and ready to be let down to enjoy the open-air driving
experience while you blast the latest single from Prince,
"Batdance," from that awesome new Batman movie!Contact us today to
get rollin' in your 5.0 with the ragtop down so your hair can blow!
