Not only did you NOT buy me the Mercury woody, you used the word CUTE again! Next time you get kidnapped I'm doubling the ransom for them to keep you! I was going to have them fix it up really cute! Frilly curtains...the whole nine yards!
One of the nice things about the black (and all non-metallic paints) on Fords in 89 is that they were not clear coats. What you see is real paint. Only the metallic paints were clear coated at the factory. That's why that paint has the mile deep shine to it. The factory clear coat had a look of being on top of the paint. It looked good, but not as deep a shine as the enamels.
i think the seller missed something....not enough pics! my dad had a '90 LX 5.0 hatch. at the time i thought it was bad a$$! today my wifes milan has more hp! still...awesome car! but i prefer the cleaner look of the LX. the really cool one IMHO is the special edition LX convertible then there are these rare gems http://www.muscularmustangs.com/2005/svtcobramystic.php
It's a classified eBay ad and it ISN'T gone like I thought. Still available last time I looked! No bids....you have to call the seller.
