The 1989 Ford Mustang was one of the model-year entries in the third generation of production for the iconic muscle car, which lasted throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. There were two trims: the LX and the GT. The LX was available as a coupe and hatchback, while the GT was available as a hatchback and convertible.
Engine and Transmission
The LX 5.0L coupe, LX 5.0L hatchback, GT hatchback, LX 5.0L convertible and GT convertible trims of the 1989 Ford Mustang had a 4.9-liter, 225-horsepower V8 engine. The rest of the trims came with a less powerful 2.3-liter, 88-horsepower, in-line four-cylinder engine. A five-speed manual overdrive was the standard transmission, with the four-speed automatic as an option.
Fuel Economy
With a 15-gallon gas tank, the 1989 Mustangs with the four-cylinder engines got around 23 miles per gallon (mpg) for city driving and around 29 mpg for highway driving. Those with V-8 engines got around 17 mpg for city driving and 24 mpg for highway driving.
Interior
Only the LX convertible, LX 5.0L convertible and GT convertible trims of the 1989 Ford Mustang had power windows and door locks. The coupe, hatchback and convertible had cabins big enough to fit in up to four people. They also had roughly the same amount of leg room, as well as front shoulder and front hip room. The coupe and hatchback, though, had a little more rear shoulder and rear hip room than the convertible, while the convertible's front and rear headroom surpassed that of the coupe and hatchback.
Exterior
The 1989 Ford Mustang's curb weight ranged from 2,754 to 3,333 pounds, depending on the trim. The vehicle measured 180 inches long, 69 inches wide and 52 inches high. The LX coupe, LX convertible and LX hatchback had 14-inch steel wheels. The LX 5.0L coupe, LX 5.0L hatchback, LX 5.0L convertible, GT convertible and GT hatchback had 15-inch alloy wheels.
Price
The original manufacturer's suggested retail price of the 1989 Ford Mustang ranged from $9,050 for the LX coupe to $17,512 for the GT convertible. As of 2010, most '89 Ford Mustangs can be purchased within the $4,000 to $8,000 range.
