Sold 1989 Mustang LX Convertible Spring Feature

[SupremeDeluxe]

Might be awhile before it's on BAT, but I finally took decent pictures that reflect the actual condition of the car, which is excellent for an unrestored Fox. There will be almost 300 pictures on the auction.

Oil just changed with Mobil 1 and a Motorcraft filter. I've fixed every minor issue I could find, and I am daily driving it until the auction. Only thing I would do is replace the generic China-brand tires someone installed. I just had the rear seat and side panel out to fix the pass rear window motor and there is absolutely no rust in the rockers or quarters. Good car to keep and possibly repaint later, as you'll never be chasing rust issues on this one. It's also very compete and original. Anyone that messes with these knows that the vast majority of repro parts are "functional replacements" and don't match the OEM form and fit. And many NOS parts are hard to come by.

I somehow ended up living about 5 minutes from where I grew up, and driving this around town is a time warp back to high school. I would keep it for a summer daily if I didn't have so many cars already.

The way BAT auctions are trending these days, it might not sell for much more than that.

Now live on Bring a Trailer...

Auction ends today. Very modest reserve, which I believe will be met.

Well.... Bring a Trailer was totally unproductive, so it's still available. Price is $19K.

I'm not going to complain about BAT because they've been good to me over the years, but something doesn't add up. I didn't receive any inquiries, and there were nearly no comments (despite 6000+ views and 500+ watchers). Several times during the listing, even my own comments were not showing up in the feed. I should have raised it with BAT, but I didn't. So I own that.

Nick, as you know, I had a very poor first experience with my 1979 Trans Am on BAT with it not meeting reserve at $27,500 due to their poor photographer session. I gave it to North Shore Classics in Mundelein Illinois back in July and it just sold yesterday for $31,500.00. That might be an option for you. Great people to deal with. PM me and I'll give you the information if your interested on going that route. Bill
