Default FS: 1989 Mustang 5.0 LX Convertible, Clean Survivor California Car

I had a powerful desire to relive my high school days and purchased this 1989 LX convertible from an ad in Hemmings two years ago. Now I've scratched the itch and it's time to pass it on to someone else who feels nostalgia for these cars. It was a lifelong California car until the third owner (I am fourth) purchased it and drove it back to the Chicago area. It has never seen snow or salt, and based on undercarriage condition it appears to never have been in rain either. Currently shows 65,1XX miles (original)

The Mustang is in excellent survivor condition and is completely stock except for a Hurst shifter. Original air box and exhaust are still on it. I have the top boot and storage bag, all keys, original floor mats, manuals and warranty card, demo cassette tape, etc. I don't believe it has ever been in an accident (Carfax shows none) and all the body panels retain the original VIN tags. I do believe it was repainted at some time from the moldings up, no idea of why this was done. Paint quality is consistent with factory paint jobs of the day.

Runs and drives excellent, I try to use it daily during the summer on clear days.

New in the 2 years I've had it:
-Motor and trans mounts
-A/C converted to R134a (blows ice cold)
-Belt, water pump, all hoses, radiator, overflow tank, PS pump, TB reconditioned, NOS throttle cable, oil pan

Only reason I'm selling it is I have too many toys and am trying to thin the herd.

Asking $9950, which I believe is fair given the scarcity of unmolested Fox bodies, and this is a high option car in nice colors.

Here is a link to 80+ detailed photos that should answer most questions:

Really hard to find one of these with low mileage. Hope to own a notch one day.

It's worth the asking price. I have an unmolested notch, but it's got 170k on it. It's no where near the condition of the OP's car.

I'll add that these cars have excellent mechanicals and parts are everywhere. Easily a 200,000 mile + drivetrain.

Thanks Jeff.

I will miss this car, but I need the room now (bought the split window you saw and also have a 2019 BMW M2 Comp on order), so the Mustang will sell.
