    Progress Thread “Rising from Ashes 6” 89 Saleen #391 build

    Yeah, I don't think cardboard cutouts and heavy applications of hot glue sticks were Saleen approved modifications in 89. Curious if the original heater core is still installed. If so, how's it holding up?

    Cooling system changes

    For what it's worth, I have the Northern 3-Row Brass Radiator (CR138) and can tell you the fit and finish is second to none. Car is a survivor, so maintaining the stock look with improved cooling was critical in my decession making process. Very happy with Northern. Good Luck!

    Overheating Issues - Water Pump?

    Before replacing the thermostat, It's always a good idea to "back-flush" the cooling system. I usually pull the thermostat, disconnect the inlet hose to the radiator, and run a garden hose into the thermostat housing and just flush out the system which will remove any blockages or loose junk...

    Whats the catch to hobby car insurance?

    Nope. It's a Massachusetts thing. Collector car insurance is only available for vehicles 25 years or older in Massachusetts. I've called every collector car insurance company and they all shut me down when I tell them the car is registered in Massachusetts. I call Hagerty and Grundy every...

    Whats the catch to hobby car insurance?

    skunk21 & Mustang5L5 I was I told by Hagerty and Grundy that I could not get collector car insurance in Massachusetts until my 1989 Saleen was 25years old (2014)? Is there a difference between collector car insurance and hobby car insurance. Do either of you guys have hobby/collector car...

    Sears Diehard Platinum Battery

    Mike - Any idea what "group size" your running on the Diehard Gold? Sears doesn't list a Diehard Gold Battery size for the Mustang online.

    Sears Diehard Platinum Battery

    Anyone running the Sears Diehard Platinum Battery in their foxbody Mustang? If so, what "group size" are you running and what are your impressions of the battery? Does it fit in the stock battery tray? The battery specs are very impressive: 880 Cold Cranking with 135 minutes of reserve...

    Price check on an original-owner 1987 LX 5.0

    I'd offer her $3,500 and throw in a free lawn cutting or gutter cleaning. Trust me, you'd be shocked at how well that type of offer is received by "older" folks. :nice:

    need help recharging ac.....

    Even if the system is completely empty, jumping the low pressure switch (harness on top of accumulator) WILL start the compressor on a properly functioning system. Sounds like the clutch may be shot. Here's a great write-up from Putter on A/C recharging. It's geared towards a R134a...

    Buy or not to buy 89 Saleen

    $6,500 is actually a pretty good price since most of the original Saleen pieces are still with the car. The original 5-spoke ARE wheels are worth about $1,500 alone if the tires are in good shape. There's some interior fabric's available that are a close match for the Saleen Fabric. As...

    Exhaust smell is awful!

    +1 If you're running an off road H-Pipe or X-Pipe (ie. no catalytic converters), you're going to have that "raw fuel smell" all the time.
