tugboat95 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 So my Dad found this picture of the original 89 Jeep Comanche he had. This was taken in either 1989 or early 1990. Judging by the Grand National in the back ground its either summer or Christmas break as that was my now current Brother in law's and he was dating my sister so she had to be home from college. Please note thats also an 89 Mustang LX with the 5.0L. It was actually faster than the GT model as it didn't have the ground effects and spoiler and was lighter. Man that thing would fly. The Comanche was all stock. 4.0L 5 speed, not sure which tranny was in it. Had the bucket seats and just check out those rims! No AC but it did have AM/FM Cassette. It did not come with a roll bar. Dad obtained that from a friend. It was the only piece recovered off of his stolen F150. It it was cut in half to fit and bolted to the floor and the wheel wells. We couldn't shorten it to fit perfectly on top of the wheel wells, so the hieght was left. It was tall and didn't look quite right, but it let them lights shine over everything. For $50 dollars a month, my Dad allowed me to drive it from Friday night after he got home from work til Sunday night. He gave me a tank of gas and I had to leave it full for him. I was 17 years old doing 17 year old stuff in this truck. I had a LOT of fun with this truck!!! After I left for the Air Force, Dad drove this thing for over 300k miles. House is on stilts for a reason. A Hurricane got it, flooded up to the headrests. It was a sad day when the tow truck hauled it off. Up til now we've been going on memory. But now we have a good photo. I have a good base to start with but this is what its going to be. PDF file is a large version of the photo Scan20200121114145(1).pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
