Vehicle Description
1986 Ford Mustang GT Convertible
The third generation Mustang is frequently referred to as the Fox
Body Mustang since it used the new Fox platform. Fox Body Mustangs
were produced between 1979 and 1993, the longest generation of
Mustang to date, though there were several significant body updates
made throughout this generation. The Fox Body Mustangs were seen by
many as a return to what worked for the first generation of
Mustang, and a step away from the failings of the Mustang II.
Though the Fox Body Mustangs were popular at their release, they've
only gained popularity in the years since then. The Fox Body has
gained a reputation as a modders dream, and with the right
modifications this fox can fly.
Presenting a low mileage 5.0 Liter V8 powered GT convertible that
has been meticulously serviced with almost all Motorcraft parts.
Add in a repaint in the original color, new decals, a new top, new
carpet, and a multitude of services done, this car shows well, and
goes well, and is a very nice example of a 1986 Mustang GT drop
top.
Exterior
With a new black convertible top and glass rear window and bathed
in a respray of black with new charcoal decals, all steel panels
are straight and show consistent gaps all around. Also noted is a
belt line trim that appears as a stripe as it has an inset area
running the length of the trim before ending in a gray GT inset
callout. Badging is correct and clean as is the window and
convertible top trim. The bumpers are not marred and are in nice
condition. Satin finish 16" Pony wheels are seen on all 4 corners
and the purchase will include the original wheels with tires
mounted on them.
Interior
Original and near showroom with the exception of a replacement
carpet, the cloth interior in PA code Charcoal and Gray shows
articulated sport buckets in front that have tuck and roll inserts,
and plain bolsters, with open headrests along with some snappy red
piping that divides the two colors. In the rear is a 2 plus 2 bench
which matches the patterns of the front. A crack free padded gray
dash top and surrounds, frame square and rectangle designed inserts
for instruments, a glove box, and center console. Some of these
elements in white grid over gray, others in light blue and all of
this is fronted by the non cruise control 3 spoke steering wheel
giving it all a sporty appearance. Manual windows and locks, and
heater controls, (it's a non-AC car folks), are throughout the
cabin. New gray carpeting with black 5.0 embroidered carpet floor
mats show in good condition, with the driver's side mat showing
slight staining.
Drivetrain
The clean 5.0 Liter HO SEFI V8 pumps out 200hp and is attached to a
Borg Warner T5 5-speed manual transmission. This combination pushes
power back to a Ford 8.8" rear with 2.73 Trac-Lok gears.
Undercarriage
Nice and clean, structurally sound and no rust. Even in the lower
doors where they meet the rockers, show as showroom with very good
rubber linings, and absolutely no rust. Power disc brakes upfront,
and power drums for the rear. Dual exhaust snakes its way back from
factory headers and through Flowmaster muffler before exiting under
the rear bumper with a pair of chrome tips.
Fox bodied Mustangs are increasing in popularity due to their
return to more like the original Mustang concept of the early
1960's. With roughly 89K miles, a repaint, new decals, and lots of
service records, the car would be right at home in any serious
Mustang collection. So, what are you waiting for? Don't miss the
opportunity to own a rare, highly desirable piece of Ford
Performance history!
