In regards to the answer to #1. While my research just showed that I was partially wrong, I have never sat in a 89 LX 5.0 that had a 140 speedo

NOT true, the 140mph was introduced mid-year of the '89 production run. I believe it was around december time frame for the switch over.

So, the fact that the TRX suspension option was available from the very first Fox doesn't count as 15" because it was metric? C'mon!

Oh well...6/10 ain't to bad I guess.
The first question needed to be more thorough, I said 93 for the 4 cylinder. Tricky one there Daryl.

I wonder if your car might have been switched over to a 140mph speedo sometime over the years... I have personally seen as late as Nov. '88 built 5.0 w/85mph and have seen late Dec. '88 built 5.0 w/140mph speedo.

I was thinking all 89 GT's had the 140 cluster but the LX was mid year or 90 model that changed over to 140

I have seen '89 GT's with the 85mph speedo. I don't know what the specifics are, but '89 was the year. Some did, some didn't. I'd be interested to know what the deal actually was though...
