Well guys, I hate to do it, but I absolutely need to get rid of my baby.  I need to buy a work truck.
It is a 1989 Ford Mustang Cobra/GT.  Yes it looks funny, but that is the actual name of the model. 
Anyway here are some of the specifics on it and the good:
5.0 H.O. V8
NEW Getrag racing 5 spd. manual trans.
110K original miles
Has nearly every option available for the year.
All options/accessories work.
Texas car, then when it moved up here to MN, it has only been outside from May to October- the rest of the year it sits. 
ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ANYWHERE ON THIS CAR.
The car absolutely RIPS- I've never driven a car that is as SCARY fast as this one... This car is fast as hell!
My grandpa owned the car before I had it- he was always nice to it- always did the routine maintenance to it, synthetic oil run in it, etc.
Interior is nearly SPOTLESS- I carpet-cleaned the interior, and it is very clean, the carpet is in excellent condition, the seats are in excellent condition, no rips or tears.
My grandpa put in a BRAND NEW $2k Getrag racing 5 speed manual transmission in it before he gave me the car- about 2,000 miles or less on the tranny.
New catback exhaust put in it summer of 2005.
Since I've had the Mustang (May of 2006) I have taken great care of it- I maintain it and go over it with a fine-tooth comb regularly.
I really haven't done much in-town driving with it, but I do know it gets 25 MPG on the highway.  Some people may call BS on this, but hey feel free to check it out for yourself- it pulls it off!

The bad:
I let my dad borrow the Mustang for a day last summer, and he spun it into a ditch- luckily, it was a shallow ditch and only cracked the front and rear bumper covers- it didn't bend or break anything but the bumper COVERS.  As a result, the paint on the front bumper cover has chipped off.  Both covers can be bought for next to nothing- rather inexpensive fix.

Paint- as said above, the paint is chipped off the front bumper cover.

Exterior Cosmetics- it isn't in perfect condition, but it has a couple minor dings and scratches- could probably be fixed very cheaply and easily.

Driver's side interior armrest- no idea what happened to it- previous owner probably did something to it- looks like it was melted by something hot- I've looked it up, and it is $25 for a NEW replacement arm rest.

Other than those minor problems, this car is in AWESOME looking and running shape.  I really hate to get rid of it, but I need to buy a work truck.

Here are the pics of it:
Sorry I took the pics when I was halfway done waxing it so some parts are shinier than others  :icon_redface:








I am asking BEST OFFER for it.  I really need to get rid of it.  All it does is sit here at my house- I've put LESS THAN 100 Miles on it since I got it 14 months ago.  If anyone has any questions or comments, feel free to let me know!

Thanks

i have 1,500.00 lol thats all. i wish i could do more. but i cant not tell spring.

zero32700

sounds like a sweet ride. i know it says best offer but whats your ball park figure? anyone made any offers?

TGP Nick

I started out asking $6,000 for it when it was in mint shape before my dad spun it :icon_rolleyes: .  Up here in MN, these Fox bodies usually go for $8-12K in good condition with close to the same mileage, so I thought $6k would be a fair offer.  Now that it doesn't look so pretty on the outside, I suppose I'd let it go for $4,000.  Other than the bumper covers on the outside, everything on this car is MINT.  It is a southern car, so the underside looks spotless, has a new $2,000 racing transmission in it, and the interior is spotless- has no rips, tears or stains anywhere- looks brand new on the inside.  I can post up pics of the interior if anyone wants.  I have gotten very few, very low offers on it (though I admit I have only advertised it here and on the w-body forum).  I'm thinking of going to the junkyard tomorrow and replacing both of the bumper covers, as there is one there exactly like mine in great shape there.  Ask any questions needed.
Thanks
