WTT: 1989 Ford Mustang GT conv. 2 owner car with tasteful mods...

I own an e39 bmw 540i6, an 02 Escalade, and this Mustang. Recently my wife has stolen my daily driver e39 from me because of rising gas prices on her Escalade. I have been using this Mustang as a daily driver for about 6 months now but I have decided to get something different...I am open to lots of diff trades so lemme know what cha got!

1989 Ford Mustang GT. The car has 140k miles and runs great. I have spent thousands of dollars on this car since I bought it. This car gets the most attention out of any of the 15+ cars I have owned. I get looks and thumbs up all the time. The fox body is gaining value daily. This is the most sought after bodystyle. I see verts in shape like mine going for 6-10k everytime I look on Mustang forums. This car is almost 20 years old so there is the normal ding or nick here and there for a daily driven car. I drive this car to work every day and wouldn't hesitate to drive it on a long trip. I recently drove to Destin FL in it which is about 6 hours from where I live. I love hopping in and dropping the top and feeling the breeze! This car burns no oil and runs smooth. I have replaced everything that needed replacing to make this car suitable for me to have as a daily driver.

-5.0 V8 302 cu in
-5 spd
-Medium Cabarnet red with porno red interior(what stangbangers call it)
-Ice cold ac(recharged recently)
-New radiator
-New water pump
-New air filter
-New oil filter
-New Motorcraft spark plugs
-New Motorcraft TFI module on distributor
-New Motorcraft dist. cap
-New Motorcraft rotor button
-New Motorcraft plug wires
-New Flowmaster 2 chambered exhaust with x pipe(sounds amazing)
-New OEM 6 pc headlights
-New PIAA xtreme white plus headlight bulbs
-New Ford Racing "C" springs(2-2.5 inch drop)
-New Saleen Stern replica 17x9 wheels
-New Sumitomo 245/45/17 tires
-Has JVC am fm cd player in it from prev owner
-Have OEM radio as well
-New LLUMAR ATR 20% tint on sides and rear glass conv window in the top

*Convertible rear windows aren't rolling up and down right now(I was told there is a gear that needs replacing inside the motors that costs less than 3 dollars per side, and the side panels come off easily, no time to do it) This doesn't affect the top going up and down
*Front fog lights need replacing(5.0 resto sells them for around 60 dollars for a pair just like oem.
*Sometimes going into reverse gets a grind(I just do the old 5th gear, then reverse trick and it never grinds, I know several other people who have done the same for years with no problems)
*There is a small oil leak when parked for a few days(my mechanic told me he thinks it's a seal, said it's no big deal unless I just want to fix it and to just keep an eye on the oil)

That is all I can think of to tell about this wonderful car. I want to keep her but I tend to go through cars quickly. I change my mind often...I am open to hearing what people have to trade... I would like to get a 190 or something else...I am open to alot of choices...PM me if you have any questions or email me at fineagain81@gmail.com
Thanks
Dave
