30 Years of 'The Eight Nine' - Celebrating My Journey with my 1989 Mustang GT

[@MrBlitzkrieg1987]

I was surprised to see the original two tone! Wow I hope that I will be able to hold on to mine for that long! Happy 30th anniversary 😎🤘

[@89G]

@MrBlitzkrieg1987 thanks Luis! I struggled with keeping the titanium on it when I had it painted. Sometimes I miss it, but most of the time I like the solid Oxford.

[@ashemoski]

This makes me miss my '87. Just realized, though, that I've had my' 95 for almost 20 years, now.

[@89G]

The time goes by fast! What are the details on the 95? I almost traded this one for a yellow 95 GT in 96. The dealer was trying to get the previous model year out the door.

[@ashemoski]

@89G - Lots 'o mods: Vortech V2/SQ @10 psi and supporting mods, 400 RWHP. Stock bottom end, TFS U/L intake, Steeda #19 cam, Cobra brakes, Eibach suspension, Tokico shocks.... Like I said... Lots 'o mods. 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoWZm6uAnd-Ff5o

@@ashemoski LOL... I responded to that without realizing it was you, my friend! My bad. Yeah, you have an animal. Lot's of goodies. In fact, this 89 has bolts that were formerly on your car, doesn't it? (Valve covers)

[@ashemoski]

@89G Ha! I believe so! And a couple of bumper cover rivets. (Or is that Frankie?)

[@89G]

@@ashemoski Ahhhh, yes! Those rivets are holding Frankie's front bumper cover on :)

Very nice video! Heck of a journey Brother! 💯👊🏾

[@89G]

Thank you for watching! I am so glad I've held on to it... I almost traded it in for a 95 GT in 1996. That would have been a tragedy, lol.

[@SleazysGarage]

Hell yeah! 30 years, what a ride!

[@89G]

Yes indeed. Lots of memories along the way!

[@jasonquinn588]

I’m right there with you… I have had mine since April of 1996…28 years. It looks a lot like my car except it was always white. Was never two tone, just looks better all white I think

[@89G]

Right on! What year is yours? I can only see the pic in your avatar, but it looks good from that!

[@jasonquinn588]

@ 1990, but back when parts were plentiful and cheap… I changed it to a non Airbag car by swapping the dash, dash frame, steering column, gauge cluster, havac controls, and front seats to a 1989. The car was repainted in 1999 when I added the cowl hood and original ford cobra bumper that I bought from ford dealership for $300 that was on the shelf that someone ordered and never picked it up

[@jasonquinn588]

@ I seen that they were tearing you up about the taillights on Frankie…lol

[@89G]

@ it was just that one cat fixated on why I wanted the factory LX trim color, but painted it non-factory colors. He's the only dude that wasn't helpful. LOL.

[@jasonquinn588]

@@89G that was me that asked if that was Frankie… lol. You replied sure is😂 I knew it was… I was like I know that car from somewhere

[@Texasknowhow]

Solid Oxford white looks better to me. I do remember the two tone Mustangs of that era. Just looks sharper the way you have it now. 30 years of refinement! Congrats I so wished I still had my ‘67 …

[@89G]

I looked at so many pics before I settled on going solid. That was 14 years ago now, and I still love it :) I also battled with the thoughts of blue on silver/gray, and now I have Frankie scratching that itch, lol.

[@raidersperez1278]

My dad bought an 89 in 2005 and I bought it off him in mid 2024. I am going to try my best to keep it in the family.

[@89G]

@raidersperez1278 that's awesome! They are fun cars to own... but sometimes frustrating too. Lol
