1989 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 5 speed - Family owned (2nd owner)

My father in law purchased this Mustang new on 7/1/1989 at age 51 and owned it until I bought it from him at age 78 in 2016. This car has such low mileage because my Father in law had health issues that prevented him from driving very often. This Mustang has been cared for by 2 car enthusiasts over the life of the car - 2 owners. I drove the car from Louisville Colorado to Austin Texas with no issues. This vehicle has NEVER been in an accident, has NEVER repainted, ALL of the VIN tags are intact on the car, and it DOES NOT HAVE ANY modifications (except for the mud flaps)! The paint and the interior are in excellent condition. Notice all of the headlights, blinkers, brake lights, etc. are very nice, little to no discoloration.

Full disclosure:
The windshield wiper arms are slightly faded black.

The rear original window tint (hatchback) and the quarter panel windows were bubbling so it was removed. The side window tint is ok, but after 29 years the tint needs to be replaced.

The cigarette lighter does not work. Everything else in the car works.

The clear coat on all the wheels shows its age by being slightly discolored and stained in a few spots (brake dust). The wheel pictured is the worst of them.

The windshield is original and has some pitting and two "stars" / "chips" the size of a very small pea on the passenger side.
