I do not need help selling this car. If the car is listed it is still available - do not contact me asking if it's still on the market.

This ad is for Stanger, my 1988 Mustang LX convertible. I'm the second owner and we've owned him for nearly 30 years. Not driven in snow/salt, no rust though there are places under the car that could use detailing. He's a great though not perfect car.

Engine: 1996 5.8 liter, Edelbrock Performer heads, Comp Extreme Energy cam, FMPP roller rockers, TrickFlow intake, ProM throttle body, etc, etc. New dual pass radiator, new AC compressor w/professional recharge, new high flow water pump - too much to list. I have the cam card and a pile of receipts that go with the car. The car makes just under 300 HP on the dyno with the present conservative tune and there's plenty more with a more aggressive tune. Shown in the pics is a Superchips tuner. Our local dyno shop no longer tunes Mustangs with this chip but if you can find a tuner there's more HP in the chip which is included.

Transmission: Lentec AOD. It's controlled by a B&M ratchet shifter, not my favorite but the only one available that fit the console. Driveshaft is a FMPP aluminum w/safety loop.

Rear axle assembly is from a 1986 SVO which yields rear disc brakes and a 3:55 gear ratio. Parking brake works properly. Outer axle bearings/seals have less than 5,000 miles.

Exhaust: DynoMax and gives a nice tone w/o too much volume.

Tires and rims: New about 3 years ago and the car is almost always stored inside so no sun deterioration.

Stanger has a powder coated Maximum Motorsports 6 point roll bar w/removable side bars which were removed in the pics. The bar was converted to an 8 point as I picked up the original upper seat belt mounts for extra structure. Note the safety harnesses. Also fitted is the complete Maximum Motorsports rear suspension including lower control arms and Panhard bar to locate the rear axle side to side. Handing is excellent though the suspension does make a rattle from time to time.

The car as shown has not been detailed as I sometimes drive him. It shows well but the paint is about 29 years old.. Interior is in good condition - no rips, tears, or stains. The top is new (7/25) and at that time we replaced the top frame due to a broken side bow. The top tonneau cover is original and included.
