1989 Ford Mustang Lx on 2040-cars
Flintstone, Maryland, United States
Please message me with questions at: eldridge.dusatko@openmail.cc . This is your opportunity to own a much desired “Fox Body” Ford Mustang coupe / notchback. This is a rotisserie
restored 1989 Mustang LX coupe built as a “Pro Touring” car and has been featured in issue 5 of Fox Mustang
Magazine. This Mustang had less than 23,000 miles on it when the restoration began, so it started out as a near
perfect body with no rust. Only 300 break-in miles have been logged on this Mustang since the completion of the
restoration.
The paint is a dark metallic gray over a lighter silver, separated by a thin orange stripe. The mirror shine paint
job is flawless, and above the quality that you see on most cars at high end car shows. The metallic in the dark
gray really stands out in the sun and under bright lights.
The engine is a stout 347 stroker engine rated at 519HP with worked Trick Flow heads; Vortech S-Trim Supercharger
with 48-pound Trick Flow injectors fed by an Aeromotive fuel system; MSD ignition; Crane cam and a long list of
other goodies. The transmission is a Tremec T600.
The exhausts starts with a pair of short tube Doug’s headers, a 2.5 inch stainless X-pipe and Flowmaster 40
Series mufflers that gives it an aggressive but subdued exhaust note at idle hinting at the high performance
experience that goes with this vehicle. Suspension is adjustable coil-overs on all 4 corners.
Wheels are FR500 10-spokes with Nitto 235/45ZR17 tires up front and NT555 P275/40R17 Extreme Drag Radial rubber in
the rear. Once rolling the AeroSpace disc brakes on all 4 corners slow things down with the help of drilled and
slotted rotors.
The interior is all brand new as well; it has custom two tone leather seats to mimic the exterior colors of the
car. Water Temp, Boost Press and Air Fuel gauges are tastefully mounted to driver’s side windshield pillar. It
also has a custom fit role bar / cage painted the same dark metallic gray as the top of the outside of the car. A
high end stereo system made up of a Pioneer AM/FM/CD player and a Bazooka sub-woofer complete the total interior
package.
Driving this car is incredible. It is a contradiction of sensations with the mix of raw power that’s available
instantly at any RPM and in any gear, combined with the predictability of the suspension, the right tires,
lightweight wheels and spot-on aftermarket brakes.

For thousands of US auto workers, the downturn is already here
Thu, Jun 22 2017LORDSTOWN, Ohio - Wall Street is fretting that the auto industry is heading for a downturn, but for thousands of workers at General Motors factories in the United States, the hard times are already here. Matt Streb, 36, was one of 1,200 workers laid off on Jan. 20 - inauguration day for President Donald Trump - when GM canceled the third shift at its Lordstown small-car factory here. Sales of the Chevrolet Cruze sedan, the only vehicle the plant makes, have nosedived as consumers switch to SUVs and pickup trucks. Streb is looking for another job, but employers are wary because they assume he will quit whenever GM calls him back. "I get it," said Streb, who has a degree in communications, "but it's frustrating." Layoffs at Lordstown and other auto plants point to a broader challenge for the economy in Midwestern manufacturing states and for the Trump administration. "This is about economics, not what Trump says. Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." The auto industry's boom from 2010 through last year was a major driver for manufacturing job creation. The fading of that boom threatens prospects for US industrial output and job creation that were central to Trump's victory in Ohio and other manufacturing states. "This is about economics, not what Trump says," said Robert Morales, president of United Auto Workers (UAW) union Local 1714, which represents workers at GM's stamping plant at Lordstown. "Even if Trump went out and bought 10,000 Cruzes a month, he wouldn't get the third shift back here." Last week the Federal Reserve said factory output fell 0.4 percent in May, the second decline in three months, due partly to a 2 percent drop in motor vehicles and parts production. Mark Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, has compiled data from government sources that show the auto industry punching higher than its weight in job creation in recent years - accounting for between 60 percent and 80 percent of all US manufacturing jobs added in 2015 and 2016. In the first quarter of this year, the auto industry accounted for less than 2 percent of the 45,000 manufacturing jobs created. "There's no argument with the idea that auto has been pulling the manufacturing sled up the mountain for the last three or four years," Muro said.
How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
Ford unveils Mustang 50th anniversary logo, plans merchandise
Tue, 26 Mar 2013The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise.

Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.
