I just picked up an 89 fox body to use for occasional daily driving and weekend cruising. Thought I would share. It is and original one owner car complete with original window sticker and 10 hole wheels. (still has the factory radio in place) oh and did I mention there are only 25,000 miles on the clock!

Engine: Under drive pulleys,1.7 ratio Cobra rockers arms,PerformanceDistributors distributor,MSD ignition box,Cobra intake manifold,70 MM throttle body,New calibrated mass air flow censor,stainless shorty headers,H-pipe and stainless exhaust.Aluminum racing radiator,light weight racing fan( direct drive,not the clutch type) New computer( race flashed and tuned) Drive train and misc.: Aluminum drive shaft,new rear gears ( 3:55 ratio),new close ratio shifter.New Cobra R rims and new Nitto Extreme tires

Very nice! 89' is a good year as they added mass air and the better seats plus a 140 speedo. I am currently on the hunt for a clean 89-93 LX vert. myself.

I knew some models had the 85mph speedo but I wasn't sure when they changed it. Nice to know! Thanks!
