I would leave the rad and electric fans, last thing you want to do is go backwards on engine cooling. The 6AL is a huge improvement over the factory. These 2 improvements are what I do with any of my cars I do any performance upgrades on.

[@briangallagher9426]

Exactly my thoughts!! That Mishimoto electric fan is just about tops on the market... so why go back to an outdated, analog style setup!!😅😅😅😅

[@neilmurphy845]

​@@briangallagher9426ya I don't get it

[@ronnsherrill7749]

You got a bang up deal on that car. I would buy it all day long for that price rat poop and all. These cars back in the day were notorious for getting stolen and stripped for parts.

[@legendsofcaraudiobradnewso8424]

You can always tell the power by the fuses. 30 amp = 300 watts etc. That DEI amp is not great, the Polk subs are decent, but the US Acoustics amp is USA MADE by Zed audio. Very cool amp. I was sponsored by US Acoustics and won a world championship with them

[@johnrussell3869]

Prelude seats...very popular in 1990 found in everything but a Honda...mustang seat back twist and ripped

[@johnrussell3869]

Those pedals look like small fire honda

[@MichaelSmith-cn7se]

I love this car. Its beautiful. Not sure how you only paid $2500. I'd pay double that without thinking twice.

[@haskellburks]

Hello Randy. The 1989 Ford Mustang LX is a good looking car. Let's hope that it runs and drives with no problems.

[@arthurlangford5861]

None of the stuff you were pointing out as fake on the car matters to anyone who wants a Fox body. These cars were day two modified to an owners taste. The mechanical upgrades are what's important, and if done correctly, add to the drivability and value of the car. if I had the money right now, you'd have a buyer right here! ❤ 👍🏼

[@Terryhicks]

I've had my 91 5.0 convertible over 30 years now it still runs strong.

[@carlbernard4197]

The 5.0 is one tough cookie 🍪 😊

[@jgill1175]

Man what an absolute sweet Foxbody. Shame it was sitting right here in NC & I had no clue. Glad to see you getting her back into shape. Between this and the Z24 man you take me back to my High School days. Still have my black 90 GT I drove & girl I dated for multiple years had a black Z24. Man the memories🤣💯. Keep ‘em coming Randy. I know you went more personal with the Fox-but if you ever decide to part ways with it, would love to bring her back to NC.

[@trbstang]

Yes, Randy, you got an absolute steal with this one. Running nice, it could be $8-10k for one in good condition. Maybe more. I'd send you my old hatch shade if I still have it, but IDK if I still do. I'll take a look at my parts stash and see if I have anything you could use.

[@cliffheard1970]

I have a red one also if you can’t find one. I have owned 18 Mustangs so I have a few parts laying around. I also have stainless tips all the way up to the mufflers.

[@carlbernard4197]

I would say more than that. I would peg it at $12,500 myself. 😊

[@trbstang]

@@carlbernard4197 it's crazy to me to think it could be worth more than it cost new. My 87 was $11,400 sticker and I paid about $10,600 for it.

[@iufan71]

chassis bars are sub frame connectors...the convertible foxes really needed them they twisted alot

[@justinfahnestock5067]

I like these kind of videos better than going to the auction...

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Ok???

[@justinfahnestock5067]

Just like watching you fix them up.

[@TheBoi87]

Replacing a failing fuel pump on my Chevy Impala JDM when it went out earlier this year was mechanical torture with lots of grime, but it got my engine running healthy again. Great work on the Mustang, Randy!💯👍🏾 ..haha.

[@Terramoto73]

Man, i miss my Fox body. I have an 2017 GT, but the Fox holds a special place in my heart.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Same here man.

[@trbstang]

I really enjoy my 16 GT too, but if I had the new engine installed, I'd probably be driving my 87 5.0 LX hatch just as much!

[@mickeybobbitt5081]

If you want to keep the lower gauge cluster put in gauges that will also help like maybe an AFR gauge,oil temp and fuel pressure gauge maybe...you got a smoking deal on that wish I could find those

[@2003cobramustang]

So looking forward to this one Randy! Love mustangs especially an LX! She looks good! Damn feel so bad for the original owner that’s so sad! And the 2nd owner delivered to you that’s so nice! Awesome news on the Monte Carlo! Sub frame connections

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Hopefully he is enjoying watching the videos.

[@rocketcityclassiccars3969]

Wow!! What a steal!! Definitely one of the cars on my bucket list.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

You and me both!

[@trbstang]

It is a great car! I enjoyed mine for 306k miles since I got it new. It's pretty similar in specs now too, I just have to install the new engine!

[@andyfanshawe]

That Stang is a beauty! And the Grand National! And the SHO!

[@csj9619]

That's a killer deal on a badass car! I actually prefer the LX over the GT.

[@cliffheard1970]

Those are two piece balancers and over time the rubber piece between them tend to let the outer ring spin and become unbalanced. I had one completely separate and spin off on me while I was making a street pull. Sure will put a nasty dent in your hood. Those are subframe connectors. Adjustable upper and lower control arms in the rear. It even has Eibach lowering springs. The red ones are the Eibach Sportline lowering springs.

[@carlbernard4197]

Ooh yikes that is enough to make the sphincter tighten up real quick 😮

[@kellyspeppers]

Wow, so great you got sponsors to help out with new parts for your projects. Looking forward for the build videos.

[@robertf4540]

That's awesome Randy! Once you fix that ride height issue, that car is going to be a lot more fun to drive. You'll make $ on that one!

[@timothykraus7654]

I so much enjoy the older cars like your working in now ! I would rather see 3-5 older cars than a cheap European car like a mbenz or BMW ! Love the content that has you working in your real wheelhouse . things that you know well and educate others on these older cars with character than pill shaped cars with all the big 4-500 hp . Please continue on with the real stylish cars that each have a unique body nd history that were obviously well built because they are still around . not like a rusted out Japanese scrap box !

You had me at foxbody….looking forward to this series.

[@bernardcrane750]

Randy, my wife had a '89 GT convertible. What a fun car to drive. 25 mpg @ 70 mph. The turbine wheels were a pain to clean though. Watching to see how yours turns out.

[@jgill1175]

@bernardcrane750 sheww you ain’t lying about the turbines being a pita to clean. First Christmas I had mine asked my old man for a set of pony’s along with a few other goodies. Woke up to a full set of 5 lug chrome’s, along with all the conversion parts, full exhaust-ect. Still take her out during spring-fall, every time takes me right back to my teenage days.

[@HerbOldenburg]

Thx for sharing Randy - You cut through this stuff like hot butter - thx for the tour and explaining the fuel setup - I had a FoxBody GT Navy Blue over the Silver with a geared rear end. Fun stuff - can't wait to hear it with the new exhaust.

[@williamjones5468]

The giggles in your voice says it all!!

[@NoahClay6]

I would say this is a great deal Randy. Also awesome you got those sponsorships for the Monte Carlo and Grand National! Those seats came from a 90's Prelude. Once you get this Mustang fixed up the way its supposed to be it will be amazing. Love that hood as well with the scoops.

[@pedroadelino100]

Im happy that this car went to someone who loves cars,i hope the last owner be proud and remembers his car. I wouldnt change anything on the car except the wheels,the rest is kinda nostalgic the old tunes. Another great video Randy.

[@apollog8998]

Awesome video Randy, like I I always say “I love your weekend fix it videos” Great Job my brother

[@scottcol23]

That is a great car. Congrats! My senior year in high school (1999-2000) I got myself a 1991 GT. Black on black 5 speed. Had low milage @ 30k. It was cool seeing all those parts again. Many of them I had. Including the hood, and subframe connectors H pipe, and under drive pullies. It really was an addiction back then. I would read every 5.0 mag and Muscle Mustangs issue cover to cover. My plan was to pull the engine and stroke it along with a Vortech Charger kit.

[@just4kicks950]

Nice score Randy 🚘🔥🔥👍. All you need is some Dj magic mike Drop the bass. That car screams Nostalgia ✨️🤘. Salute Randy 😎

[@nunya2814]

They did a cobra brake upgrade, got a hell of a steal on that car. Fuel pressure should be about 38/39 psi under vac and about 43/44 not under vac. Those ignition boxes are always a problem when old, computers also known for 3 of the capcitors leaking and causing MAF and fuel pump issues. All easy fixes just gotta find which are causing problems.

[@skyjammer]

The 89 was the last year for the non airbag tilt wheel....90 and up got the airbag and no tilt. What a score for $2500 delivered! Also, I still remember changing a leaking FPR in a parking lot over 20 years ago....it suuuuuucked!

[@jamessalter676]

Such a cool find Randy. I'm gonna have to watch again after work. My guess the seats are from a 93-96 prelude.

[@AutoAuctionRebuilds]

Bingo

​@@AutoAuctionRebuildsOK I was wrong. I guessed them being out of a Volkswagen Golf GTI 😮

[@drrick8839]

Randy, I’m not a big Fan of Fox Mustangs, but that’s a sharp looking car with some pretty cool upgrades. The paint is remarkably nice, so far as I can tell on my iPad. It seems to fly with the new fuel pump and sounds healthy. Plus, it’s obvious you’re having a blast with it and your joy is infectious. It sure is a lot of car for $2500! Did the guy agree to sell it for that before or after you showed him your gun? LOL! Great content, great video and great presentation by one of the best on KZbin! Peace my friend, DrRick

[@ianrs6310]

Right up my alley! That’s a Cervini hood. Great find Randy!

Had a 89 LX with almost the same amp and sub box setup, except had the EQ and crossovers. Fosgate PUNCH amp wired in MONO with 2 12s, and the 4 channel running the other speakers. Did the 5 lug conversion with parts from a Lincoln, and had the SVO Turbo wheels

Why I dig FORD and always will. She’s a runner.. this ride will keep a perma smile on your face while in her… damn I’m jelly!! Polk audio use to be alright.

@autoauctionrebuilds 5:25 Those look to be 92-96 Honda Prelude seats.

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

What you are looking for is “red tweed”. Very durable seat material. I prefer these white face gauges to the factory black. The original ones were a little harder to read at night.

[@postersm7141]

I have a couple sets of Polk audio speakers in my house. They’re made in Baltimore Maryland USA represent Polk audio, makes some of the best speakers ever. You can get the cheap ones at Best Buy for about $600 or you can get their top-of-the-line speakers for $20,000. And everything in between. I’ve always been impressed with POLK audio

[@Ryan-85]

Unsure if it has been mentioned although those seats are most likely out of a Prelude. Possibly a 5th however maybe 4th gen. I had a 4th they looked similar to those

[@bigmuthrtrukr]

93 to 96 Lude seats I was hoping nobody beat me to the answer yet lol. They look good in the right car just not the Mustang...
