Used 1989 Ford Mustang for Sale near Grand Rapids, MI

I love driving this car in the summer. It handles great, has good acceleration because it is a five speed, and looks good with the top down. It is also surprisingly good on gas. All in all I love this car.

As polished as this 100% stock 5.0L Mustang GT was, I was a little disappointed with it's performance. This particular car was built from factory to be a cruiser with highway gears and not the typical pep that 5.0L Mustangs are known for. It was quicker than your average car, but had trouble even spinning the tires. For a 5.0L Mustang, it was all show and no go. Braking and handling was typical of what you'd expect from a domestic car...not exceptionally great, not terribly bad. The build quality of the car was decent with the exception of some of the interior panels which didn't fit and line up like they were supposed to. This particular Mustang was very well looked after before I owned it and I continued to baby it, as does its current owner so everything on it was like new. The only on going issue I had with it was the idle kept searching despite replacing numerous sensors and checking for vacuum leaks. Nothing I did could pin point the problem and as far as I know the current owner still hasn't been able to fix it either. Appearance-wise, this car was damn sexy! I loved seeing people turn their heads as they saw this car go down the road...even if it was just because it was so shiny and bright! I kept it looking like a million bucks and even added a few tasteful details to the exterior to enhance its appearance. Inside the car was super clean and still even smelled like a new car. It had a light grey cloth interior that was easy on the eyes. Fuel economy was surprisingly good for a V8, but that's because the rear end was geared for highway. Didn't really have too many maintenance issues with it other than replacing the water pump and of course the surging idle problem. I took it upon myself to upgrade the exhaust system to a Dynamax Ultra Flow setup with an X pipe effectively removing two of the four catalytic converters. I had the new 2 and a half inch exhaust pipes ceramic coated to a polished chrome-like finish. Still, the car didn't have the sound I was looking for despite the nearly straight through mufflers. This was the second car I ever owned. However, it was the first really nice car I owned. I had my share of fun in it for the five years I owned it, but I have to admit that I rarely drove it because it was so mint I feared it would get scratched up. I ended up selling to buy my '58 Plymouth Belvedere. It was a difficult decision, but a necessary one so that I could move on to my next dream car.

It was my Uncle's toy that he drove on nice Sundays. Except for a set of Cobra 5 star rims it is bone stock and has under 20,000 miles. Black with a red interior 5spd. It is a fun car to drive.

I loved this car! It was extremely solid, well-built, dependable, reliable, and fast as well as fun! I owned this car for about 6-7 years before I ended up selling it (new baby...bad in winter). It rarely needed any repairs, the body was very sturdy, and gas really wasn't that bad on it. I had a lot of fun with this car, and I still miss it.

I love these cars, they are cheap, easy to find, and you can fit a big block 460 in it. Mine has a 466 Super CobraJet with 12:1 compression, too much to list, C-6 trans with 3000 stall hughs converter and Fairbanks kit. 8.8 rearend 31 spline axles and posi. 8 point roll bar through the floor subframe kit from Autoweld. Like I said, too much to list. Great car, when talking performance, who cares about gas mileage, its purpose built right??
