The 1989 Mustang... is the ultimate Mustang. �€" Magazine
advertisement The ad copy went on to explain: The combination of a
5.0-liter V8 engine delivering 225 horsepower at 4,200 RPM,
quick-ratio power steering, unidirectional tires, and Ford's
Quadra-shock suspension make it technically more advanced than its
predecessor. Yet, after 25 years of evolution, it's still youthful,
still vigorous, still Mustang. And a mere touch of the throttle can
still release the magic that is only Mustang. Ford Mustang. An
object of America's affection for 25 years. Offered here is a 1989
Ford Mustang LX Convertible in Scarlet Red (Code 2D) over Oxford
White/Dark Red (Code N) under a power-operated white fabric soft
top. Showing just 30,874 miles on its odometer, the car has
traveled fewer than 1,000 miles per-year on average since new. This
is a survivor Fox-body Mustang drop-top in excellent condition,
fully serviced within the past 12 months. The exterior non-metallic
red paint has been properly maintained through the years. The color
is uniformly bright with excellent luster across the body,
including on the painted impact-absorbing bumpers and lower-body
panels. There are no dings, dents, scrapes, or other damage on any
sheet-metal panel. A single, thin-gray pinstripe accents the body.
(To best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please
be sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the
accompanying gallery.) Black-finished trim-on the window surrounds,
door handles, front-and-rear bumpers, side rub-strips, and
rear-deck luggage carrier-shows virtually no wear. The original
white-fabric top fits properly and is free of rips, tears, or
significant signs of use. Factory badging includes the Ford
blue-oval emblems and Mustang-embossed lower-body identification
front and rear, 5.0 engine emblems on the front fenders, and LX
badge on the rear deck. All cabin glass-including the rear window
in the convertible top-is clear and free of cracks.
Original-equipment, 10-hole, 15-inch alloy wheels with Ford-logo
center caps are mounted with 225/60 General® AltiMax RT43
all-season performance tires. The car's interior color combination
of white and dark-red is a delight. Vertically pleated white
leather upholstery covers the classic-style front buckets and rear,
2-position bench seat. The convertible boot cover is also white;
seat belts are dark red. Door trim marries both white and red in
contrasting horizontal panels with red carpeting on the
kick-panels; power-window and door-lock controls and
factory-mounted audio speakers are located on the doors. Cabin
carpeting is red with Mustang-branded all-weather rubber protective
mats. A 2-spoke black steering wheel with cruise-control
push-buttons and a blue-oval crest frames the comprehensive analog
instrument cluster set in the black-and-dark-red dashboard.
Instrument and switchgear markings are crisp and unfaded. The
factory audio system and HVAC controls are located on the center
stack; the t-bar shift lever for the automatic transmission and
power-outside-mirror controls are located on the red center
console, forward of the handbrake lever and a combination storage
compartment-armrest. (Please view the close-up photography in the
gallery to assess the condition of the Mustang's various interior
surfaces.) The car's trunk is tidy and clean. Under the hood, the
