1989 Ford Mustang GT - Black 2 door post sedan. (New!)

Once again this is not my actual car, but it looked exactly like these. 

Mustang GT.  In 1989 this was one of the fastest reasonably priced V8 cars made. 

I do not have many fond memories of this car.  Mainly because I bought it on impulse.  I got a big promotion at work and  50% raise.  Yowza!  What is the first thing I do?  I go to my local Ford dealer and buy the first black stick shift V8 Mustang I see.  Well this was not too popular a move at home.  It was an impulse buy.  The dealer made it so easy.  Take it home right now!

This car was so unpopular at home I returned it to the dealer and told them to take it back.  No dice.  It sat on their lot for days.  After a while I realized the car was mine and I had to face the music.  I returned and picked up the car.

Actually it was a great car.  It was much faster than my '86 Mustang GT, but it was not quite as good looking to my eyes.

I cannot remember how long I owned this car, but I do remember I sold it privately.  The new owner was a 17 year old boy who felt like he was the luckiest person alive to be the owner of this fine pony.  But because of the rough start with this car I was very relieved to be rid of it.  I was reminded quite often of the stupidity of this purchase.  Good riddance GT.
