Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas
1250 Mustang Drive
Grapevine, TX 76051
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to offer this 1989 Ford Mustang GT Coupe, a sharp Fox Body Mustang finished in Medium Scarlet and Silver with a gray interior. Combining the unmistakable styling of the late-1980s Mustang GT with a substantial list of performance and handling upgrades, this Mustang offers the kind of character and enthusiast-focused equipment that has helped make the Fox Body generation an American performance icon.
Under the hood is the legendary 5.0-liter V8, which produced 225 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque in stock form. This example has been extensively upgraded with a MicroSquirt engine management system, SVE 202/160 aluminum cylinder heads, a Ford B camshaft, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold, polished and powder-coated upper intake, BBK 75mm throttle body, upgraded fuel pump and injectors, BBK full-length headers, and a BBK catted X-pipe. Exhaust gases continue through a Flowmaster Force II cat-back system, giving this Fox Body an aggressive performance-oriented personality. While these modifications may increase output beyond factory specifications, no dyno sheet is available to verify current horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through the desirable 5-speed manual transmission and 3.73 rear gearing. An aluminum driveshaft helps complement the drivetrain upgrades, while welded subframe connectors add rigidity to the Fox Body chassis. Bilstein shocks and struts further enhance the suspension and driving experience.
The exterior has also received a number of carefully selected upgrades inspired by the highly sought-after 1993 Mustang Cobra. The car wears 17-inch Cobra-sourced wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot tires, along with 1993 Cobra taillights, rear wing, and rear valance. Additional exterior upgrades include a Makers Garage chin spoiler and rear license plate backing. LED headlights and fog lights provide a modern lighting upgrade while retaining the classic Fox Body appearance. The seller states that the front bumper, rear valance, rear wing, and trunk lid were repainted following installation of the Cobra-sourced components. The Mustang has also received two-stage paint correction and ceramic coating, along with 360-degree ceramic window tint including the windshield.
Inside, this Mustang retains its classic Fox Body character with gray cloth upholstery and a driver-focused layout. Equipment includes power windows, air conditioning, cruise control, and a cassette player. Keyless entry is provided through Fox Locks, and the seller reports that the air conditioning has been serviced.
Additional mechanical and electrical upgrades include an upgraded alternator, electric cooling fan conversion, and a recently replaced water pump. The Carfax history report documents a coolant flush/change and water pump and water pump gasket replacement in July 2025 at a reported 29,358 miles.
The sale includes one set of keys, two key fobs, and a car cover. With its classic 5.0-liter V8, 5-speed manual transmission, 3.73 gears, upgraded engine management and induction components, suspension upgrades, Cobra-inspired styling, and extensive list of supporting modifications, this 1989 Mustang GT is an enthusiast-built Fox Body with plenty to offer.
The Fox Body Mustang has earned legendary status among American performance enthusiasts. Introduced in 1979 as a replacement for the Pinto-based Mustang II, the Fox platform brought the Mustang back toward its performance roots. The 1987 facelift gave the Mustang a more aerodynamic appearance, an upgraded interior, and a more powerful V8, helping establish the late Fox Body GT as one of the defining performance cars of its era.
