That car must be the one they're talking about in this video-and why they're looking at Mustang magazines. I think?
Correct.
In that video, they both discuss about Ryan’s Mustang car but also about the features/specifications of other Mustang models as well. Notice, for example, how Ryan points out the “fancy wheels” of another Mustang car (which is depicted in that magazine).

Because I remember something about Michael promising Ryan he'd be in one of his videos for the Dangerous album - but before they could finish that up, Ryan had already passed away.. then Michael came across Gone Too Soon. So maybe they just ended up using the footage they did have for GTS's video?
In fact, MJ promised to Ryan White (while Ryan was becoming too ill) that he would create a
song for him in his upcoming album.
“
… Ryan, I promised you that I would do something in your honor on my next album [‘Dangerous’ album]. I will create a song for you. I will sing it. I want the world to know who you are… I did ‘Gone Too Soon’. That was for him…” (Michael Jackson, The MJ Tapes)
When Ryan died in April, MJ decided to record ‘Gone Too Soon’ dedicated to the memory of Ryan. ‘Gone Too Soon’ was a song that MJ had always wanted to record since the first time he heard it by Dionne Warwick (during a TV special in 1983).
The recording of that song took place during the ‘Dangerous’ recording sessions in June (1990) & just two months after Ryan’s death.
So, the song's video clip is based on footage with scenes with both of them (MJ & Ryan White).
