Supercharged Mustang Sitting 15 years - What's It Need? NNKH

This 1989 Ford Mustang 5.0L notch was sitting for around 15 years in a garage. It's a 90's street car build with a Vortech V1 supercharger.
Thanks Karl for getting this on the dyno. Check him out at / kptuning if your interesting in any modern stand alone ecu tuning.

7 day update: Cody C guessed it first! Car sold for 15k on the dot. I had it listed for 17k on Facebook marketplace. Not too many bites at first, but one guy offered 15k and took the trip down from Massachusetts to grab it. He loved the car and was very happy with the price.

[@lakes2land780]

Notch back foxbody cars are fetching crazy money these days. That is a beautiful car and a very fair price.

[@BostonBeata]

I hope I see it around!

[@kevinAuman1]

Mann, id have had no issues giv6up 15k for this because I feel there is still a lot of power left in it with a new Holly dominator and some fine tuning maybe pulley swap, belt change and new plugs properly gapped....

[@stretchwith]

your toolbox and supplies are awesome.

[@DrDrew-mg3ow]

Worth every penny! Great video!

[@ianrs6310]

When I think of the 5.0, this is how I will always remember them. OG.

[@rickybobby5950]

Nothing sounds better than a pushrod 5.0 with a vortec and Flowmasters! ❤

[@markhobby7481]

It's my opinion that this guy should be up there with Vice Grip Garage or Cletus, I mean, maybe not as high as Whistling Diesel but definitely up there!! Thanks for the great content NNKH!

[@billymanilli]

ABsolutely beautiful Fox! Like a time capsule, PERFECT example of a mid 90's, after 1:00am, middle of nowhere type of street racer! I would have LOVED to have something like that to drag race with back then! ...be running with all the "fast" guys. Hell, I'd LOVE to own it right now in '22! lol

[@mavness]

And I would have been the guy in the ls1 fbody with nothing but gears and a stall asking you for spots

[@alexfrederick9019]

My best friend has had a few. One of them his uncle just gave to him had almost $40k into it. The one he kept had about $100k into it. A white 91 GT with a built 331 and a Whipple blower. 582hp and 661 ft/lbs on the dyno. That car was great fun to drive, but it wasn't a race car by any means. Full interior, custom audio and video, etc. For me, the best fox body look was a flat black 93 gt with a 5 lug conversion, a 3" cowl hood, and 18" Chrome Cobra R rims on a slightly lowered stance. Mini tubs are a must if you want any real tire in the back.

[@jeremiahlittlejohn922]

This video hit in all the right places in 89 I was 11 years old and all I wanted was a fox body mustang. Thanks for the content.

[@mustangandfrankenstein]

Amen brother..took me back in all it's glory ...I have a 93 notch I'll never ever sell.still gets me tingly..love my stang .lol

[@johnmilner6505]

Man.. that car was actually really cared for and modded very nicely.. especially for a Pennsylvania car.. very rust free.. just a clean street car.. I'd buy it if you don't..

[@mustangandfrankenstein]

Dam right..a steal at 15 I think .. beautiful

[@Gthere-cs3ow]

Had a notchback in my 20s. Loads of fun. And super light. Long tube Headers used to burn my legs from inside the car as I had no carpet...great times.

[@jayfromtexas6718]

My son had the clone to that car. Warmed over 351W. It was a four cylinder coop. Was so proud of him. Was a tough transformation. He did a great job.

[@ZXDF51]

Damn that's awesome! Simple, raw, and straight to the point. Just love those old 90's builds.

[@mustangandfrankenstein]

Hell yeah ..just the best ..iv saved this video to watch over and over ..I feel a build coming on..lol..god I love mustangs so sexy and badass..lol.wooohoooo

[@josemena9118]

Car sold for 15k. ......thank you for all your good videos you put out

[@VictoriasWildEarth]

Beautiful car great power very rare to see these around

[@rescuehoundemtd]

I had an 86 GT with T-tops. Very fun car.

[@joemalone9380]

15k is insanity for this car. im sure the guy from ma thought all his birthdays came together . thanks for sharing . you're brill.

[@1slow.grandsport628]

That's a beautiful car. Should be capable of mid 11s on a good tire. Looks clean, I probably would've give 15k for it.

[@robertm2172]

Second comment you put a smile on my face! I was a kid at the time with no dl flowmasters on a old fox body is the best sounding car ever I currently own a supercharged camaro ss and the sound out the pipes will never please the my ears

[@brentunderwood7600]

cant go wrong with a 5.0 mustang love that sound!

[@LosDoyerss]

That's a clean fox body, I would have bought that thing. Those Vortech superchargers are bad ass, my buddy ran one in his first gen Lightning.

[@billymanilli]

Yeah they work good! 20 years ago, had an 89 lx with a completely untouched, stock '99 Explorer long block (gt40p heads), E 303 motorsport cam, bbk shorty headers, magnaflow exhaust, Performer rpm efi manifold, 93 Cobra injectors & ecu, and the thing made 396 RWP and around 410 lb ft with 8 psi and 93 octane. That thing ran good for what it was!! Shoulda opened up the exhaust ports, in hindsight, probably woulda made 420ish.. oh well, it was still fun and I was young!

[@em6886]

Two videos back to back, It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

[@killabee623]

I am a chevy man and is impressed with the power that block made. Ford should have never discontinued them.

[@goblin103187]

The coyote block is much better and can take much more power

[@tacticalmattress]

​@@goblin103187twice as expensive

[@jpat99]

Love the sounds of O/R H and 3 chamber Flows.

[@joelgoody3590]

I've had fair amount of mustangs. 88 hatch, 86GT, 88notch, 88 hatch...Presently 97 Cobra, I put intercooled Procharger on it, made pretty much same as this car, 440 to the wheels 7psi boost.

[@gsdfan8455]

Nice collection of mustangs. I’ve had two, an ‘86 SVO and an ‘04 cobra. Someone had done some work on the supercharger and it sat at 475 at the wheels.

[@daryldettmer9160]

thats a nice car .. love mustangs .. i had two 85's one four cylinder and one Gt that we put fuel injection . then i had a 96' gt which had that awesome mach 460 sound system in it ...

[@StrangeDuder]

$12,500. Glad that you were able to get it tuned. Sweet ride.

[@benjaminmurrish2994]

Have to say I really enjoyed this video, even shared it with my dad since it made me feel like a little kid again watching him work on his '91 foxbody. Once I was about 17 or so he let me drive it every once in a while. Not only is that the first car I ever did a powerbrake in, he was in the passenger seat teaching me!! Dad, if you see this when you watch it, I love ya!!

[@anthonypesqueira7540]

The 90s were a very legendary era for cars. Some cool cars came out during that time.

[@ctozzi123]

Love how fast you diagnose and fix things

[@reggiejackson5732]

It didn't surprise me at all that it sold for that price. I'm so glad I bought my coupe when i did. ✔

[@yellowdog2181]

When that car came out I was in high school, I did not come from wealth but the kids that did had these and the 90 convertible. I actually took my drivers license test in a 5 speed 5 liter

[@davidlouiso9650]

Are you kidding me!!… buy one like this everyday of the week! Very clean. Love the notches.

[@FreddyFunderbunz]

Nothing sounds better than a 5 liter running through flowmasters. I also like that u wear a helmet while driving your truck

[@montgomerybillings7033]

The amount of times I've been in a foxbody that was running and then shut off and then didn't fire back up is astounding. NEVER turn off a foxbody lol

[@johnmilner6505]

Gotta love the sound of a Windsor sbf..

[@angelo_giachetti]

1993 to 1998 I built a 5.0 convertible. It went from a 15 sec car to a 10.90 car at 130. In the end I built my only motor. A 347 from an HO block with a SCAT stroker kit, Edelbrock Victor Jr heads and a BlueRacer 1087 cam. Forgot the specs. It had a Vortech S Trim with 2.75" 10 rib pulley. I can see your car has a 3.33 pulley. Mine had a fuel system too. Trans was a Tremec 3550, Centerforce clutch. If you look under your car it probly has a T rex external pump. 2000 I changed hobbys and sold it. If you have issues with that car I can solve them.

[@rynosraceroom66]

Love the trunk model !

[@armandopatane5343]

Love the lx and gt of the time = super simple and super cool

[@ghouliesgarage3922]

I love your will it run and working on older car videos . Your one kewl kat ! Godspeed

[@dannyguerrero4756]

Man!!! In love with them Notch backs!!!

[@SvtAddict1995]

Wish i could have purchased that coupe. Really nice car to play with on the street

[@BobMarley-dk9hn]

You had me at "thank God it's a five speed" lmao. Born the same year too

[@downstateradv]

Awesome video. The intro had me cracking up when you went from the badass cutscenes to you wearing a neon green helmet. Nicely done

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks man! And yeah pretty goofy looking helmet. Lol

[@kurtburkhardt5862]

Great channel! Nice car! Had an 86 5.0 with Nitrous. Bought it new basic no air 5-speed $11,000...had it for 14 years. 160,000 hard miles. Sold it to a guy who made it into a race car. He smoked the tires for 50 feet right after he bought it...miss it.

[@Mors_Atra_]

Had the exact car but silver. This 5.0 is in better condition than the one I had. Really fun to driven

[@joelgoody3590]

Fox notches are rare these days...to get one that clean, with supporting mods on it, I'm guessing it brought in a pretty penny. I'd say 18,250.

[@calebmetzler879]

i did not watch the full vid yet but in my opinion which is my opinion lol. The only stangs that should be bringing in 18-20k are the ones with original good paint with the tags, 50k miles, all stock, and no accidents. I know that's a lot to ask but a lot of these cars have been wrecked and completely rebuilt and people want way too much. I blame barrett jackson. I have a 1990 lx with 90k miles and I would not ask 18 for it but then again I am not selling it because it is worth that much to me haha!

[@wiz7190]

Wow. Very clean. I wish i had this one

[@pavil58yt]

Really like the notch-backs. I've got an all stock 93 hatch. Just needs paint and some headlamps. Fun cars.

[@omarboone1220]

Great price. Great street/strip car! Very similar to my 93 Gt I had in 1999, but I had N20 instead of a Vortech and a built AOD with 4.10s.

[@ronniehaley729]

Don't let the Dyno guy get to close to a ledge somewhere 🤣💪 Love the channel!

[@douglasadams6024]

back in my heavy duty street racing days i had a 55 chevy with a LS7 454 ford top loader 4 speed and a 430 detroit locker, the car was almost untouchable onthe street, I got beat 2 times in as many year, one of those times was by a brand new Mustang GT with a paxton supercharger and a 150 notrous shot he got me out o fthe hole and i couldnt catch him, that little car was fasssst! looked just like that car!

[@JonSmith-mz2rt]

This is a great car I've always wanted 1 myself, my father had a 5.0 coupe when I was about 10yrs old I went on the hunt for 1 back in 2008 and found a notch in silver they only wanted about £3000 gbp for it, over here in the united kingdom there was very few built for this place and they were steering wheel on the right as we drive on the opposite side to you guys 😁👍

[@432b86ed]

Did not know they were produced in right hand drive. Interesting.

[@JonSmith-mz2rt]

@@432b86ed yes right hand drive but extremely rare as the numbers here were very limited and small, there is also a company over here that will actually convert them to right hand too even down to the original style dash and bulk heads wish I had another chance at 1

[@jackieo0929]

RICHIE SCAN 5.0 POSSE a real black 5.0 5 speed notch back is the most wanted foxbody right now . with a bit more resto over 25k these cars are hot now!!!

[@billybobgaming2814]

That is when it was the most fun right there!!!

[@krisyaz1545]

Never much was a fan of those when I was a teen. Now, ohh sh*t these look so nice..

[@huachis]

this Mustang is a Beauty

[@deadbambi]

thats where I had my air filter in my 1996 T-Bird that had 480hp bored .060 4.6L with the same supercharger, but I kept my inner fenders in it to protect it

[@tractormatt4301]

Never a disappointing video. I’m genuinely surprised this channel isn’t bigger. You make me smile and laugh regardless of how bad my day was.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Hey thanks for the kind words man! Yeah making it big on KZbin seems like a tough game to win at! Lol. but I love doing it. Hopefully one day get some more growth. Ever have any video suggestions or feedback I'm all ears. Thanks man

[@mustangandfrankenstein]

Amen brother..what a great channel..no bullshit .honest great dude that knows his shit ...love it

[@theariesexperiment4642]

Those Weld Draglites are my absolute favorite wheels. Spend you about a half a day with some Wenol, steel wool, and a nice new microfiber towel,...?.?... and those babys will look amazing.

[@benniebarrow348]

Love the fox bodies........most people today would answer your "What's it need " question with ........an LS1 I wish Ford had advanced their push rod motors in that direction allowing for a competitive cheap match to a chevy

[@slowpoke96Z28]

Weeeeeeellllllllllllllllll. This is more nostalgic than anything. Over 400 at the tires was stomping it back in the days. Same car with an ls, same centrifugal charger, is gonna be over 500 at the tire. That's just reality.

[@slowpoke96Z28]

@Jason Shenk where are you?

[@badassvette1542]

@Jason Shenk my fox 347 sits in the garage. My ls makes 700+ rwhp at 9 psi. You actually sound real proud of 500, lol

[@deanb949]

Wow, this video is relatable. I've got a Black '88 Lx hatch sitting with a 2004 Inspection tag. Had a fender bender, (was totally drivable) but sat it up because I wasn't driving it like that. Then Live happens... ya'll know the story. Had a 1969 fastback in high school and sold it a few yrs later. Learned not to sell for any reason after that. It's gonna make a comeback....Plan is to turbo the old mule, with what bottom end, is up in the air.

[@ROBIN_SAGE]

Wanna sell it?

[@jeffjibroni5133]

I can’t stop watching all your videos. Another awesome one!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Awesome, I appreciate you checking them out. Thank you

[@mattcox3373]

Someone put a lot of time and money in that car back in the day. Awesome find

[@nerdspike209]

Makes me miss my 86 SSP.

[@kennethparent8544]

Cool video love the mustang my buddy Brian God rest his soul he had a 1982 5.0 he had a cam in it the motor was painted and all chromed-out it was silver with a hood scoop had nice craiger rims on it thanks for posting brings back so many memories❤❤❤

[@306Nation]

That is my attainable Dream car, perfect set up, black notchback, 5 speed, with skinnies up front. It would be a $15,000 - $20,000 in Saskatchewan,Canada

[@dgb56bgd]

Sorry that AWESOME STANG slipped away from you. It was SWEET! I owned 2 ‘65’s and a ‘67’…and loved them. I wish I’d never sold them.😢

[@albertgaspar627]

Funny to see both tach needles moving--never was a big fan of those monster tachs on a car with one from the factory. just seemed silly. Meanwhile, I'm thinking that aftermarket hood had enough gap to get the MSD wet--shielding or grease might help. Its why I usually trailer a buy home and wash it to get rid of the wasp nests etc.

[@ginoleone4241]

I live in Mass and they love those models here. Kid is taking it home I bet $$$$. Got that hard working Mass money bro. Car is great keep up the work love the channel.

[@DankosRacing]

I’m from Wilkes Barre Pa and I have a 1990 mustang GT that has work done just like that one and watching this my guess was 13000.00 cause I would take no less then 12000.00 so good sale on that. They are a blast and so much fun

[@BryanMiller]

That was cool to see and hear!

[@edwardmulder3777]

Enjoy your vids, good variety and fun, tks fer the entertainment

[@davidsnyder2000]

Had a later model body style Mustang soup’d up a little bit, no turbo or blower, but is was a very fun little car. This black Mustang would be as much, if not more, fun👍🙂

[@slowpoke96Z28]

5:12, the sound of my people...

[@christopherwyatt6064]

I've got the 93 model of this car, I gave 15 grand for mine in 2000, the car I got dynos at 550, I love mine if I sold mine I'd have to get 30 grand with all the stuff that's been done to mine.

[@switchgears32]

Incredible video, knowledge and car, I just got my own foxbody and learned alot, just by watching your process, I'd say 15k which is a deal but it seems about right for the build

[@marksd5650]

19,899 is my guess. Fascinating video, lots of fun. Best Regards

[@keepondreaming3870]

Bro, love the video! Several years ago bought identical car for 5k. The guy pulled the new battery and corbue seats, but it was a vortech V2 306. The Great Wall of water 💦 almost did old girl in! Keep on Dreaming 👌 👍👍👍🔔

[@michaud399]

Guy down the street had a tricked out 5.0 with all cobra emblems and the works just sitting with flat tires and I suddenly came into some money and had a garage and tools lined up and when I went to see him he'd sold it for fkn pennies. Like 1500 and it only needed a head gasket. Still think about that 5.0.

Getting nostalgic for my 1990 Seven Up Fox.

Ain't nothing like getting an old car out of hibernation and getting it going again

Man that was a sweet looking and sounding stang

[@richardthomas1743]

That is a nice solid Mustang. I say it is worth around $12,000.00

[@l.greenemachine66]

I hope you bought it. That's a fast little Mustang there.

[@theanxiousone1]

Finally a mechanic that uses latex thank you!!!

[@clittle1559]

mechanics that uses latex glove are 2000 and above its a menstrual cycle type thing

[@monikhushalpuri]

Was thinking the same, my uncle is a mechanic and never used gloves up until recently, doesnt drink doesnt smoke , ended up getting cancer but caught it super early so was able to recover no problem but he always wears gloves now after his diagnosis

[@robertm2172]

A time capsule love it

[@Hero8570]

Great video, sorry I was a year off, my first thought was $14,500 (don’t know what I would have guessed a year ago though).

[@josecasarojo1451]

The stang was sick!

[@khillabolt]

Randomly happened across your channel. Enjoyed seeing this "antique" fox body getting started again... 😃

[@MrDannyk01]

I had an 86 with a 306 roller and t tops. I'm in the process of looking for another one.

[@june8299]

Ha I never heard of you before today. I’m local to that area. There was a guy named Chris (lansdale area) who had one of the baddest 7up mustangs (probably still has). There was a picture in race pages of him dragging a bumper down the track. Awesome guy.

[@brendanlynch2138]

First dyno I saw as a kid scared the shit out of me as I walked by then automatically my dad screamed not to walk by the car as he’s seen more than one crash into a wall.

[@1REspawnPLS]

not sure if you have any more plans to do videos where you bring busted things back to life. I love seeing you taking something someone thinks is "dead" being a brought back to life and flipped. love the channel but just a thought!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah definitely have more plans to do stuff like that. Just haven't found any thing lately that's super interesting. Been looking to find an old beat up cabover semi to mess with. I love those trucks. Shoot me an email if you ever find anything and it's not too far from Pennsylvania. And thanks man I appreciate the input

[@L.A.D.I]

My brother had one same year we built it together it came with a 302 we built a 351 w he went little overboard and bought the steeda steering suspension package man I miss him cancer took him away way too soon 46 years old

[@johnmilner6505]

Very nice car.. being a stock block I wouldn't have paid more than 12k.. some dude in mass has a very fun street car..

[@romankuznesov1921]

A beautiful snag!
