I traded-in my 1990 LX 5.0 Mustang fastback and got 4500 for it in 1997. I had just been hired to fly for Airborne Express and I needed a reliable snow car QUICK. My Mustang had been lowered by Advanced Autosport in Oakland and they installed a Kenne Bell lower chassis brace, subframe connectors, strut tower brace, adjustable upper strut mounts (to cure Ford's annoying toe-out issues in those days), Eibach 1.5" lowering springs, and Koni shocks. With the mods I had already performed--stainless SSC headers, Hurst shifter, K&N filter, three-chamber Flowmasters, Comp T/As--it was better than a 911 and went around freeway cloverleafs like a raped ape and stayed flat as a pancake and the body had NO twist. I had bought the car new in 1990 and babied it and it only had 45,000 miles on it by the time I traded it in in 1997. Black/black too--a full black interior. It was a real looker. SO, in my haste to get hold of a good snow car for December in Ohio (at Airborne's training center) I had to trade it in on a new '98 Accord V6. They gave me 4500 and I took it with sadness in my heart. The Honda was great in the snow--still is--and it now has 180,000 miles and going strong. It is the perfect airport car. That Honda dealer probably flipped my car to a broker and someone, hopefully, wound up with it and is enjoying it today.
