Hooray for 89? :scratch::hide:

I fail to see why 89 is much better than the other years. Why again are they any better than the 88' Cali 5.0 that I have? Or the 25th year 1990 Mustang that got a badge & MAF? Your first post gave MAF and anniversary as the reasons 89 is "more" special than other years. I'll give you tilt steering w/ no airbag.

Also, the 25th "anniversary" by Ford for the Mustang was no better than the husband that forgot it's his 25th wedding anniversary until at the 11th hour and bought his Wife some Dorito Locos Tacos. It was a FAIL.
I am laughing so hard at this analogy!

Price list difference for new 2015 Mustang, $10,895 more for the 50th Anniv. edition. That's an expensive pin they stuck on the dash this time huh? Or maybe they're getting it right this time.

  • Mustang GT Premium Fastback - $36,100
  • Mustang GT 50th Anniversary - $46,995

Mines an early 89, no dash plaque. Mine had a dealer installed XXV stripe kit, that I have seen 3-4 other times. All were white/red 5.0 hatches and I believe all had AODs and every option besides power seats, leather and sunroof.

Need a 25 Year plaque? I have one if you want it. Or I could be a poseur and put it on my dash and tell everyone I have the coolest year Fox ever built! :rlaugh:

89OEM, that's close but not exact. It had three small stripes, a thick on in the middle and a pin stripe above and below. Just behind the door the middle stripe ended and it had an XXV then continued again. It ran aling the rear 1/4 as well.

I actually incorporated an XXV into my current red pinstripe, as a little throw back to what the car used to be.
 
It's loud. I like it, but it might not be for everyone. I took a video of when I first fired it up but it won't seem to load into photobucket. The tailpipes are a little goofy looking as well, but I was tired of the dumped mufflers.

I want to make a suggestion to you, the paint looks OK but what really detracts is the trims. Get some of the black trim paint, tape off carefully and you can paint the trim around the door glass, then for the back and front windshield you can pull the trim off and paint it, and for the back side windows you can get some stuff that should replenish the black look, temporarily but it will help. Overall the car will improve alot with very little investment. Having a fox with original paint is awesome.
