FS: 1990 LX, 5.0, 5-speed, CLEAN

[somethingclever]

1990 LX, 5.0, 5 speed, 75k miles, all original body panels, paint and OEM headlights, no rust, car is strong, smooth, and shifts great, garage kept, factory sunroof (NO LEAKS). Car does have a few rock chips on the front and a door ding which is to be expected with a 20yr old car with no paintwork. Quarter window moldings are perfectly functional but are showing some age.

Modifications/Improvements:

FRPP shorty headers
MAC prochamber
Flowmaster catback
Underdrive pullies
FRPP E-303 cam
FRPP Cobra clutch
FRPP 3.55 gears with fresh T-loc
Gasket matched upper and lower intake
Chrome strut tower brace
Subframe connectors
FRPP aluminum drive shaft
Mac upper and lower control arms
MSD 6al electronic ignition
BBK adjustable fuel pressure regulator
Autometer fuel pressure gauge
Autometer coolant temperature gauge
Raptor Shift Light
Pro-M mass air and K&N cone filter
04 GT 5-lug conversion, with PBR brakes (powdercoated, not painted)
(4) OEM 2001 Cobra Polished 17x8 with new performance Hankook 245 45 17
Rear mounted Optima red top with 1/0 wire and heavy ground cables
Tinted windows (older job)

Known issues:
A/C condenser has a leak and needs replaced and the a/c recharged (all a/c components intact)
Rearend has some gear whine

This spring I drove the car to Detroit and averaged 25 mpg @ 75-80mph. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive this car anywhere. It’s a nice lower mileage original.



Asking price is $6800

That's an older engine bay pic from a PO.....everything still looks the same just not quite as clean.

[PaceFever79]

wow, thats a pretty car, and tastefully modded.

[03 OW SVT]

I've seen this car and it is damn nice. John takes good care of his sh#t. It also has a good sound and rumble to it.

What you looking to get John, another Terminator?

This is a great little car. I spent about 9,000 miles behind the wheel. Not many out there cleaner than this one. Good luck with the sale John! :goodidea:

[intel]

Nice hatchback!

[somethingclever]

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

I had plans to turn this car into a corner carver but that's going to have to wait for now. I have all the susp. bits already purchased so I may pick up a ratty fox next summer so I don't feel bad about rock chips.....or tire walls. :)

But for now it has to go....

[jaa55]

wow awesome!

[Viper_ed]

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Nice to see that for sale ads keep getting whored up with unrelated posts. I know John's a huge fan of it! :rotflol:

Car was just PA inspected last month
Performance tires are 90%
Original paint/headlights
Obviously taken care of since day one

Plenty of repainted foxes or cars that need repainted out there for less.....this is not one of them. Car is not perfect but definately nicer than most.

[PaceFever79]

Man this car is killing me.

[somethingclever]

thanks for the compliments...still here.....needs to go!

[biminiLX]

Don't give it away, super straight car in person, they are hard to find.
Try listing on corral.net?

[PaxtonShelby]

Yep - she is a nice one! I think the only thing working against you John is that winter is coming. Good luck!

Thanks J....I do have it on the corral and svtp....I tried the autotrader thing and should've bought a "run it till it sells" deal but went the cheaper route and now the ad is expired.

Had the car out today for a 5 mile drive up the road and back...I'm going to regret selling it...really is a nice fox that hasn't been beat.

Ron, winter sounds like modding season to me. :twothumbsup:

[somethingclever]

Ttt!

[somethingclever]

If interested, make an offer...

[somethingclever]

Price lowered to $6800....hogging up my garage space..

[1Badbird]

Man I wish I could buy it from you John! I want a Mustang so bad!!

[somethingclever]

sold.....going to Buffalo

[mr4teth]

Congrats John .... I'm really glad you sold it! If you lowered that price one more time you would have forced me to buy it!

[PaxtonShelby]

Congrats John - I had told several people about it, but I guess it just wasn't a good time for them to buy.

I hope the LX doesn't see the winter weather in Buffalo!!

So what's up with the Mach - you going to be able to get it done this winter?

[somethingclever]

Thanks! I thought it was worth $7k+ but it's a tough market and time of yr right now.

No winter weather Ron...buyer is an enthusiast and this car is a warm weather ride for him.....it will split time with a GN.

The 69 car probably wont' be done until this summer. I close on a house in two weeks and will be doing some updating to it before I move in. When I started this FS ad I didn't care if the LX sold or not...then I bought a house and therefore the price started getting lowered to make sure I had enough cash for home improvements after I close.

Great to hear you found a good home for her - there aren't many around that are that clean.

Congrats on the new house! Is it a 2-room house with a 14 car garage? :rolleyes:

I'm guessing there is No car "on deck next" for awhile,:tearsofjoy: with the purchase of a new house.

Congrats John! Let the remodeling begin!:thumbsup:

[somethingclever]

Well there is always a car on deck.....:)

I have pretty much everything needed to put my 69 car back on the road...just need to find the assembly time.
