My just about dead baby I've had friends send me leads on just such a project. I've found one that's got about 100K on it, claims it's in perfect condition, being sold by the original owner's son for $4K. It looks pretty good, but it's not an LSC. I'm flatbedding it over to a mechanic...

R.i.p. It looks like my sweet baby died and I was just getting over it when I saw your pix. Now I'm really depressed. Now I'm wondering if my baby can be resurrected. It was built by Jack Roush with a GT40 motor and a T-5 World Class tranny. Can you see my tears?

Hid I'd sign a petition to get HID lamps outlawed. I am sick and tired of approaching those damn things and getting blinded. They are a danger to all other drivers. If I ever met the designer of those in a dark alley....

If the body's in good shape, BUY THE CAR! My '89's been a wonderful vehicle. I bought it new, shipped it to Jack Roush who put the 5 speed T-5 World Class in it like the 11 others they built for Ford and in '93 they put in a GT40 5.0 L in it. 20 years later, I just replaced the original...

My '89's got a few hundred thou' on the OD and the bags have been replaced once. Not bad as far as I'm concerned....and no other "compatibility" problems to worry about either! I've got a slow leak in the rears somewhere, noticable only when the car sits for a couple of days. But after it...

Chrome Golly...didn't mean nothin' by the comment...just tryin' to be funny. Probably shouldn't try "stand up", eh? I've been investingating a roots type blower that'll fit under the hood with no mods but the nice low, sleek lines of the Mark might not allow it. I've got a guy researching a...

Personally I loved OldSchool's reply: put coils on one side, bags on the other and wait. It'll give new meaning to "ghetto cruiser." When working on cars of this age, a sense of humor is mandatory.

Well....gosh, it sure looks purty but it reminds me of the old sayin': IF IT DON'T GO....CHROME IT!

It could be worse You're lucky it's reading low. My '89 MK VII came to an abrupt stop several hundred miles from home, the gas gague was reading 1/4 full. I had it towed to the local rural Ford dealer, rented a car from him to get home (it was late Thursday), only to have him call me the...

Yeah, its a photoshop deal....I blew up the photo and noticed that although the wheel/tires look cool, they'd never work in the wheel openings of the car in the picture...there's no clearance for jounce or turning. Hope Ford looks at the pix though.

Yeah, but does it come with a six speed stick shift and the GT motor? Now [I]that[I] would be something!

Since I've seen my dew seals get hard and brittle I can sympathize with this thread. Of course Ford no longer has the replacements and before I have problems like 1989 Mark 7, I want to replace the seals. I've somebody rebuilds those assemblies (it's not just a simple rubber replacement I've...

I just went to Helms and a shop manual for my '89 LSC wasn't available so I signed up to get notified when they get one....eBay had one a while ago for $63.

Ignition Stuff I had both the ignition switch and the key switch go out. While I was shopping at the parts place, one of the sales people happened to know someone there with experience in the field. The expert said "It's a bitch, pay someone else to do it." I did, and I'm glad. I bought the...

...and I noticed you even got in one of the shots: the right rear corner shot of teh '55 green Ford. The bumper gotcha! Scott

Hey there Joey: where'd that inlet pipe come from? I've got the GT-40 setup (angled intake tube) and I think its time for a K+N cold air thingy. Any idea what to ask for? The motor is a '93 mass air and Roush did the GT-40 magic on it so now I don't know what fits. But at my age, I...

I'd love to find some new ones....so far, no luck. As you noted, both of mine are brittle and cracked. I had both door lock actuators replaced a year ago. Parts are still available and I noticed what a bitch it would have been to try to do it myself, so friendly Dan's Auto Repair did it for...

Oh, does gears Roush, who did my GT-40 & T-5 work, originally put the 3.73 gears in. The driveline vibration was pretty severe so we went back to 3.55. There's still a vibrattion in the 78-83 MPH slot but its less severe. A new, large OD prop shaft didn't seem to make much difference, but...

I placed an order with Tire Rack on Friday, got a personal call on Monday from a real person who wanted to make sure the load ratings would meet the rating on the door jam label of the car (they did) and UPS delivered them today! (1 day from W. Indiana to SE MI). Pretty damn incredible I'd say...

See my car It's right here, Old School! heh, heh. As soon as I finish with the interior (refurb, couple of holes here and there, etc.) I'll post some pix. It actually doesn't look bad now, but I'd be more proud of it with a perfect interior. I think I'll have to get regular RS wheels and...
