goood luck! they are rare and super hard to find, wait thats the same thing said twice. hehe. they are expensive. mustang parts specialties may have them. I checked with them last year and they had one, and it was for sale for $250! the only year that they came with 140 mph that will fit 87-88 cars was 89. the 90 up won't fit cause wiring differences and also cause they had an air bag and ours didn't. check ebay. make sure its FLAT across the bottom. if its curved its for a 90 and up.

you can also buy one for a 90 and just switch it over to your 89 . i did that you have to trim some stuff but once done looks fine
