1988 Ford Mustang GT Additional Info:

THIS IS A NICE CAR. NO SMOKE OR FUNNY NOISES. RUNS AND DRIVES AS NEW. HANDLES LIKE ITS ON RAILS. HAS HANDLING PACKAGE BUT THIS SUSPENSION IS SPECIAL, I BELIEVE THE SUSPENSION WAS ALSO UPGRADED AT THE FACTORY. THIS WAS BUILT TO GO AROUND THE TRACK AT WATKINS GLEN. IT WAS A PROMOTIONAL CAR AT THE TRACK DURING THE BUD AT THE GLEN FESTIVAL AND FOR THE NASCAR RACE ON 8/14/1988. WHERE IT CIRCLED THE TRACK BEFORE THE RACE. FROM THE FACTORY, THE 20 OR SO MUSTANGS AND A LOT OF THUNDERBIRD TURBO COUPES CONVOYED TO CLUTE MOTORS IN ELMIRA NY TO BE PREPARED FOR THE FESTIVAL, WHERE THE STICKERS WERE ADDED.THE CAR ALSO HAS A FORD STICKER WITH THE VIN# ON IT, PLACED ON EVERY BODYPART. DOORS, FENDERS, HOOD, HATCH AND 2 ON THE MAIN BODY. I COUNTED 9 TOTAL.OBVIOUSLY SO PARTS WOULD NOT BE SWAPPED OUT.(I PICTURED 1) SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE 1988 WATKINS GLEN SECIAL EDITION MUSTANG I HAVE FOUND 2 OTHERS THAT ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE, STICKERS AND ALL. 1 NICE ONE SOLD IN 2014, THE OTHER ONE WAS TURNED INTO A DRAG CAR. SO OBVIOUSLY THEY NEVER HANDED STICKERS OUT AT THE TRACK OR THERE WOULD BE STICKERS ON DIFFERENT CARS.AN ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY A REPORTER FOR THE INTERNATIONAL THUNDERBIRD CLUB SCRIPT MAGAZINE, WHO THEN POSTED AN ARTICLE ONLINE WHICH EXPLAINS HOW THIS CAR GOT TO WATKINS GLENS RACE TRACK AND HOW RARE IT IS. MY ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER PROVES EVERTHING IN THE ARTICLE IS CORRECT. ALSO SHOWS THAT HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS WRITING ABOUT READ THE ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN 2004 ON THE NATO (NORTH AMERICAN TURBO COUPE ORGANIZATION) SIGHT. (ALSO PICTURED HERE). THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER SHOWS THAT THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO LEAST FORD IN GENESEO NY YET SHIPPED BY CONVOY TO CLUTE MOTORS IN ELMIRA NY TO BE MODIFIED AT CLUTE MOTORS.THE ARTICLE WAS WRITEN BY THE TRUCK MANAGER AT CLUTE MOTORS.HE WAS A THUNDERBIRD CLUB MEMBER.READ THE ARTICLE THEN CHECK ALONG THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDOW STICKER. EACH PIECE VALIDATES THE OTHER.THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CARS. UP UNTIL NOW IT'S BEEN A MYTH. I SAW ON THE INTERNET SOMEONE SAID YOU COULD DRIVE A MUSTANG AROUND THE TRACK FOR 25 DOLLARS DURING THE FESTIVAL? COULD BE, 11 MONTHS LATER THIS CAR SOLD AS A NEW CAR AT TOWNE FORD IN ORCHARD PARK NY WITH 487 MILES ON IT. WHO KNOWS WHERE IT WAS. BUCK TAG IS PICTURED ALONG WITH ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PAPERS. I HAD TO TURN IN THE ORIGINAL TITLE TO GET A NEW ONE. PICTURED IS A COPY. I HAVE THE NEW ONE.I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNERS IN SEPT. FOUND OUT IT WAS SUPER RARE. I HAVE A 70 MUSTANG THAT I CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE IT'S SO NICE, I DON'T WANT 2. THIS WAS THE WIFES SUMMER DRIVER FROM NEW. THEY BOTH LOVED THIS CAR AND IT SHOWS. IT HAS ALMOST 106000 MILES YET MY MECHANIC THOUGHT IT SHOWED 5700 ORIGINAL MILES. HE DIDN'T LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PAINT. SEVERAL CHIPS WERE BRUSH TOUCHED AND REAR BUMPER WAS PAINTED ON THE WHITE PART. PLUS SMALL AREA ABOVE THE QUARTER WINDOW. SHINES NICE, NO CLEAR COTE PEELING. INTERIOR IS BEAUTIFUL WITH DAMAGE TO THE SEAT BELT HOLDERS NEXT TO THE CONSOLE. DRIVES AS NEW. ANY BLACK SHADOWS ON THE INTERIOR PHOTOS ARE NOT STAINS. EVERTHING WORKS, A/C NEEDS CHARGE. NEW TIRES.RUSTPROOFED WHEN NEW.THIS CAR NEVER SAW SALT. STOREQUESTD CORRECTLYIN HEATED GARAGE EVERY YEAR SINCE NEW. ALWAYS RUST FREE. NO LEAKS. NOT ORIGINAL RADIO. CARGO COVER DOESN'T WORK.WINDOW STICKER SHOWS EVERTHING. MUFFLERS ARE NEWER.
