The year 1989 marked the 25th anniversary of the Mustang, but the official anniversary model was delayed until 1990. However, starting from April 1989, special badges commemorating the 25th anniversary were added above the glove box. The engine options were unchanged from the previous year, except for the V8, which received a SEFI mass airflow system. A new standard options package was also introduced, featuring a sporty 5.0L LX with GT adjustable front seats. This LX 5.0L package was so popular that the 1989 Mustang model year extended until September of 1989.

LX 5.0L Sport
1989 LX 5.0L Sport offered much of the performance of the Mustang GT but in the LX body style for the 2-door coupe, hatchback, and convertible. 1989 was the first year of this special model which was offered on the base level Mustang up to 1993. The 1989 LX 5.0L Sport included the 225hp 5.0L V8 engine, GT suspension (pressurized front struts and rear Quadra-shock), 14.7:1 constant ratio power rack-and-pinion steering, traction-lok axle, 5-speed manual transmission, 15x7 inch 10-hole cast aluminum wheels, performance radial tires, and the hatchback/convertible received articulated front bucket seats.

Mustang GT
The 1989 Mustang GT continued to look like the last several years of Mustang GT's back to 1987 with its aerodynamic front, side, and rear skirts; solid grille with center Ford emblem, 10 spoke turbine wheels, and 225hp, 5.0L, high output, V8 engine.

25th Anniversary Mustang
Starting in mid-April and running through the late 1990 model year, Ford placed 25th anniversary, tri-bar pony badges on the passenger side dash of all LX and GT Mustangs. It certainly was not a limited edition run of cars, but we feel it does deserve mentioning in the special model section of the 1989 Mustang.

Saleen Mustang
The 1989 Saleen Mustang received a new new rocker panel striping design and a new SSC hatchback model. Standard equipment included a top-shelf Pioneer KEH 6050 AM/FM cassette & BP 850 graphic equalizer audio system, 225/50VR-16 General XP-200V tires, Monroe stocks, Saleen style aerodynamic body kit, 170mph speedometer, Hurst shifter, articulated FloFit sport seats, and a special Momo steering wheel. For the new SSC, a tweaked version of the E-code 5.0L was installed. It put out 292hp with a 65mm throttle body, new intake plenum, larger cylinder head ports, wider rocker arm ratios, HD cooling system stainless tubular headers, and Walker Dynomax mufflers. All the SSCs were painted white with gray/white interiors. See our 1989 Saleen Data Explorer for more information.

ACS McLaren
The 1989 ACS McLaren offered conversions of coupes into into 2-seat convertibles with aerodynamic body panels, custom wheels, custom leather interior, tinted rear lights, and an emblem-less front grille. 247 ASC McLaren Mustang convertibles were built in 1989.
