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!

[@rescuehoundemtd]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@em6886]

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

[@ctozzi123]

Love how fast you diagnose and fix things

[@Ibrahimsydney]

Beautiful car great power very rare to see these around

[@brentunderwood7600]

cant go wrong with a 5.0 mustang love that sound!

[@josemena9118]

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

[@jpat99]

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

[@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.

[@ghouliesgarage3922]

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

[@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.

[@dannyguerrero4756]

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

[@jeffjibroni5133]

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

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Awesome, I appreciate you checking them out. Thank you

[@StrangeDuder]

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

[@SamM-qk9xo]

Thanks for sharing this, i really enjoyed watching this. I have a similar setup without the blower on mine.

[@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.

[@SvtAddict1995]

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

[@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!!

[@Mors_Atra_]

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

[@edwardmulder3777]

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

[@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 ...

[@johnmilner6505]

Gotta love the sound of a Windsor sbf..

[@rynosraceroom66]

Love the trunk model !

[@pavil58yt]

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

[@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

[@davidlouiso9650]

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

[@deadbambi7381]

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

[@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❤❤❤

[@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

[@armandopatane5343]

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

[@wiz7190]

Wow. Very clean. I wish i had this one

[@guicohj]

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!

[@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

[@khillabolt]

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

[@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

[@TheAnonymous1one]

That was one heck of a clean find.

[@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

[@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. ✔

[@anthonypesqueira7540]

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

[@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.

[@Im.Richard]

I like the looks of the 86 that you had better but this one is also pretty sweet

[@BryanMiller]

That was cool to see and hear!

[@steventaylor9002]

Great video Chris

[@marksd5650]

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

[@killianbyrne4984]

Another brilliant vid man, u are smashing it

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks bro

[@billybobgaming2814]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@FreddyFunderbunz]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@ronniehaley729]

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

[@deeznuttz9947]

That beautiful beast is Hella clean 🔥🔥

[@joshsway2158]

Just getting in cars as a hobby and I really like your content so I subscribed today👍🏽

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Awesome, it's a great hobby! And thanks

[@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 👌 👍👍👍🔔

[@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.

[@huachis]

this Mustang is a Beauty

[@l.greenemachine66]

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

[@BobMarley-dk9hn]

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

[@josecasarojo1451]

The stang was sick!

[@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

[@davrogrz4542]

New subscriber, the minute you opened that hood I could tell you know your stuff. Makes for an interesting view, good stuff bud! 👍🇨🇦👍

[@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👍🙂

[@crackercasey4556]

Nice car these and 91-96 impala ss and caprice are my favorite cars to drive

[@MrDannyk01]

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

[@flex_007]

Man that was a sweet looking and sounding stang

[@chrissahlstrom8939]

I had a 93 fox hatch that I put a used pro charger on. Just did headers and mufflers and alum rad. No tune stock heads/injectors/cam put down 400wtourque to the wheels

[@kggranviel8230]

First time watching love it definitely going too subscribe

[@aaarauz1]

Getting nostalgic for my 1990 Seven Up Fox.

[@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!

[@thadmachia9873]

Wow that was amazing thank you!

[@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.

[@mattcox3373]

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

[@moofdoggmike]

Interesting vid, really like the variety of vids you post up, that camper build was a hoot. Guess the car went for $10,500.00. Have a good one and take care on the board, them cars is too big to tangle with.

[@Smuckatelli]

This was a great video. Well done 👍🏽

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks man

[@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.😢

[@leitnertrucking661]

Good job on the vidya.. thumbs up from NW OHIO

[@angelolovato6494]

Daammmnnnn I want that Stang. dude that looked like fun

[@robertm2172]

A time capsule love it

[@MinnesotaisRust]

Nice looking Mustang here.

[@spense1609]

Sounds & goes sweet!

[@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

[@romankuznesov1921]

A beautiful snag!

[@toddundy]

Great vid and great car!

[@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).

[@slowpoke96Z28]

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

[@williammullens63]

I love upgrades to increase horsepower and always fun to watch but personally Id definitely do turbos or a supercharger but at minimum boost and low settings. I want long term fun... Not knocking anyone just my preference

[@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
