Good ones like this are getting more and more difficult to source. We have sold a few in the last year or so and we only offer the best ones we can find. No silly hood scoops. No cockamamie paint scheme. No clapped out interior. Just a very clean GT. This example comes out of a private collection and is ready to go!
1992 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L 5-speed manual. Emerald Green with gray cloth interior. Only 51,800 original miles. Power windows, power locks, cold A/C. Nearly flawless with only a few minor imperfections. Trim and molding are excellent. Interior is nearly perfect. Over $4,000 recently spent on new seats and custom accented door panels.
The driving dynamic is amazing and the engine, suspension, and performance modifications are top-notch. Turn the key and the GT easily rumbles to an idle. The clutch is tight with no issues and the gears shift flawlessly, just the way they should. The shut-lines on the doors line up factory correct and the interior is nearly perfect.

FAQs:
Q: Are you a dealer?
A: Yes. As stated in the "Item Specifics," we are a dealer.
Q: Do I have to pay taxes?
A: Yes, in your home state. If you are in Texas, we will collect the taxes based on the final sales price. By placing a bid, the buyer agrees to pay the remaining balance due (plus applicable fees and taxes) within 7 business days of the close of the auction. All financial transactions must be completed before delivery of the vehicle. Additional fees and taxes are not included and are in addition to the final sales price. Out of state buyers are responsible for all state, county, city taxes and fees, as well as title/registration fees in the state that the vehicle will be registered. If you choose not to register the vehicle, your home state may offer a "title only" where you do not have to register the vehicle. Once we complete the transaction, we will provide the title to out of state residents and it is solely their responsibility to complete the tax transaction in their home state/country.
Q: You mention more photos. Where can I find them?
A: We are Fast Lane Direct and we are located in Texas. The additional photos are hosted on our website. We are easy to find through a web search.
Q: Is the paint original?
A: No. It has had a previous high quality respray. Paint is above average and regional show quality but not national concours quality.
Q: Is there rust present?
A: There are a few small dimples in the paint on the rear hatch at the base of the window. It could possibly be rust/corrosion or it could be a small area of poor prep. Either way, it is very very minor. The paint is not flaking, etc and there is no visible signs of rust other than the dimples. The area is shown in the original listing which can be found on our website.
Q: Is it numbers matching?
A: All classic and collectible cars we sell are assumed "non-matching" unless there is documentation provided to us by the previous owner when we acquired the vehicle. Interested parties are welcome to inspect it in person to verify any stampings, etc.There are no visible signs of the engine being swapped.
Q: Can I get a CarFax?
A: Sure. They’re $39.99. We do not run a CarFax on anything older than 15 years as they are terribly unreliable and nothing beats an in-person inspection. We will gladly provide the VIN if you would like to run one.
Q: Is it standard or automatic?
A: Factory five speed manual.
Q: Is the mileage accurate?
A: Yes. The mileage is believed to be true and authentic with an odometer on its first lap, although under the Federal odometer law, 49 U.S.C. Chapter 327 it is stated as "mileage exempt."
Q: If I bid and win, do I have to buy the car?
A: A growing trend here seems to be bidding, winning, and vanishing. Please review eBay’s terms of service before you bid or buy. As much as we enjoy paying numerous insertion fees, we fully expect the winning bidder to finish the deal.
Q: How much is the reserve?
A: Reasonable, realistic, and a five digit number that starts with a "1." We have offered the car privately and put deals together that fall through for whatever reason. Most of the time it is tire kickers who are looking to sharpen their negotiating skills with no intention of finishing a deal with anyone. Others “forgot” to check with their spouse. It's time to find a buyer and we'll let the bids handle the negotiations.
Q: This is exactly what I have been looking for! Can I buy it now?
A: You can place a bid through eBay which alone will be a barometer of your level of commitment. If we do not find a successful buyer, we will consider the high bid through eBay, whatever it may be, and we will let the bidding speak for itself on this one. We do not want to keep listing and listing and listing and listing and listing until we find a buyer so we have made the reserve fair and market-correct. We are experienced in the sales of Fox body Mustangs.
Q: I have a buyer for my rare tricked out caboose once owned by Harry S. Truman with 24k gold walls, whale foreskin seats, and the same floors that are in Trump Tower I am selling. Can we finish the deal when I get the money next week?
A: No. Don't bid unless you have the funds ready. Before the close of the sale is a good time to ask your husband, wife, girlfriend, parents, parole officer, Miss Cleo, or your Magic 8 Ball before you commit to buy.
Q: Oh, you're just a dealer trying to flip it and make money?
A: Yes, our accountants like for us to show a profit at the end of the year. We are a dealership and we are not running a Mustang charity. Do we need to make a whole grip of cash like the guys on television that hoot and holler a lot? No, that is not our goal nor is that reality. Many exclusive and significant vehicles pass through our possession with no fanfare. That is the way we like it. We are simply trying to bring buyer and seller together in a transparent way.
Q: Can I come look at it?
A: Of course! You are more than welcome to come inspect it or send out a third party inspection service. There is nothing to hide and we encourage inspections. This car is in storage and is not sitting outside on a lot somewhere. Inspections, viewings, and test drives are by appointment only.
Q: Can I buy it and then renegotiate when I come to pick it up?
A: If we have inaccurately represented the vehicle, that is our fault and we will take responsibility. If you have made unrealistic assumptions and are looking to play a "gotcha game," that is not our fault and we will not take responsibility. We are fair and transparent with 100% positive feedback, not only here, but with other platforms we use to market vehicles. Our customers are always satisfied with their purchases and the way our vehicles are represented.
Q: I want to buy it but I just moved to Guam and you are in Texas. Will you knock some off the price because I have to ship it really far away?
A: No, but we will help you arrange shipping at your expense. We ship cars weekly and get awesome rates with pretty prompt pickup times because we always have vehicles coming and going. You are welcome to book your own transportation or pick it up in person.
Q: This is exactly what I have been looking for! I saw this GT on your website. Will you take half of what you were asking?
A: If that is the case, there are plenty of basketcase Mustangs out there in your price range. One of those may be a better fit for your restoration skill set and budget. We have sold a handful of Fox body Mustangs so we are familiar with the market as well as the typical profiles of the buyers.
Q: I thought you were asking too much. Can I contact you to give you my amateur opinion on what it is worth?
A: No. We have listened to the market and set a fair reserve. If you feel the reserve is unfair, there are other examples out there to better fit your budget. This is not the only one so you are welcome to simply pass and focus your bidding/purchasing efforts on another example. We are very pleased that you are passionate about the car, but our goal is to facilitate the sale of this vehicle to the next owner. Because of the nature of what we occasionally sell, we do get our fair-share of trolls who love to tell us how we’ll never be able to sell a vehicle for what we are asking. We’ve heard it all before and we’d love to point out examples in our inventory, but those vehicles have all been sold.
Q: Can I waste a bunch of your time telling you how enriched my life would be I had the money to purchase?
A: Negative, we have done the best we can to be forthcoming and accurate with our photos and descriptions. We’ve already had enough time wasted and don’t have time for additional inaccuracies and unverified assumptions. We love hearing from our customers and getting updates on vehicles we have sold, but what you want to do in your bedroom and with the car before you pony up the cash is your business.
Q: Speaking of cash, my PaPaw used to tell me about all the stellar deals only available to him by paying cash for Granny’s new Ford LTDs which were rare and “limited” to the maximum number of units that the factory could produce. What’s your cash price?
A: Considering we don’t take Bitcoin or bearer bonds, we assume you’re going to pay using cash or a method of payment that is comparable. The price you bid is the price you’ll pay regardless of how you pay. This isn’t the 1970’s; it really doesn’t matter to us if you’re pulling out C-notes, sending funds through a legitimate non-Nigerian bank wire, or if your bank strokes a check. As long as whatever you give us clears the bank, it really doesn’t matter.
Q: How much would my payments be?
A: That would be between you and your bank. We are not a "note lot." Yes, we do have lenders who will loan on the car. You will need very good to excellent credit and roughly 10% down. Before the close of the auction would be the time to begin this process if you are unsure of your credit history.
Q: What’s the lowest you’ll take?
A: What’s the most you will pay?
Q: I see these for sale all the time. There are three of them for sale in front of the local Texaco for really cheap with less miles. Can I buy yours for the price of one of those?
A: No. Go down and buy one of those before they get away.
Q: Wow! I looked it up and book value on the value is really off. Will you sell it to me for book value?
A: You may try to buy one from one of the "book" publishers. They must have a lot of cars in stock.
Q: I saw one exactly like this sell at one of the auctions on television. Will you take half of what that one sold for?
A: It wasn't this one. You should register to bid next time.
Q: This is exactly what I have been looking for! Do you have more photos?
A: Yes. On our website which isn't hard to find. We are Fast Lane Direct and located in Texas.
Q: Didn't you already answer the question before about where to find the photos?
A: Yes. If we mention it 100 times, someone will still ask for more photos. If you need something specific, feel free to ask and we will gladly do whatever we can to accommodate, but a generic message that says "do you have more photos?" has already been answered.
