99.9% sure that they were the same. Except for the switch to the bigger brakes/ 16" Pony wheels in 1991 I believe the styling remained the same.

Limited photo's there Dale, but I have been on YouTube and I see no external body differences...'89 it shall be.

Based on the timeline and text, the body style remained unchanged for base models from 87 through 92 or 93. Just pick the motor, I guess. 89 sounds good.

I have owned a handful of fox mustangs,the only thing I remember is the body side molding is black on an 89 and body colored on my 1990 lx convertable.

This video is where I determined that there are no differences between the '89 and '90 model GT's...

The '90...I can't tell any difference at all. Remove that hideous rear spoiler and it looks identical to the '89.



I have to wait on the repair of the lift in the back shop before doing any major disassembly of the car. I have not received any detailed feedback as of yet on specific parts, but from what I have seen thus far I'm leaning toward the MM full length subframe connectors and 6-point rollbar. I'll fabricate my own driveshaft loop and weld to the subframe connectors instead of the usual bolt-thru the pan variety. I'll need to talk to someone in the know about specifics like upper/lower control arms, springs and reinforcement of control arm mounting points.
