1989 Ford Mustang

The 1989 Ford Mustang, part of the third generation produced from 1979 to 1993, showcases a blend of performance and versatility. It offers two main engine options: a 2.3L Inline-4 producing 90 HP and 122 lb-ft of torque, and the more favored 5.0L V8 EFI, which generates 225 HP and 300 lb-ft of torque, with over half of the models sold featuring this powerhouse. Transmission choices include a 5-speed manual (T-5) for the V8 and a 4-speed automatic (AOD). The Mustang was available in three body styles: 2-door Coupe (Notchback) with 50,560 units sold, 3-door Hatchback at 116,965 units, and 2-door Convertible with 42,244 units. Notably, 1989 marked the 25th anniversary of the Mustang, although no significant design changes were made. The 5.0L V8 could accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 6.4 seconds and complete a quarter mile in 14.9 seconds.
