For Sale: 1986 Ford Mustang in Mesa, Arizona

You're looking at an affordable, loaded, and survivor-level icon with a terrific presentation and poise. And yes, this 1986 Ford Mustang GT convertible has a cold-blowing A/C and a fuel-injected 5.0 V8 heart.


Ford really got the package right in 1986. In an era when power was dwindling, the Mustang GT was one of the few beacons of speed. It created one of the largest aftermarket performance revolutions around, and as a result, it's extremely rare to find such an original example like this. Shows all the right signs to be the majority of the Oxford White paint that was applied at the Michigan factory over three decades ago. While no one will call the finish perfect, it is perfect for those who like a survivor-level car that shows it. All others understand that the value price can leave room in your budget for updating and upgrading this one as you see fit inside and out. But we like how the white makes for a great contrast to the coordinating black elements, like the headlight buckets, rear luggage rack, pinstriping, and rub strip that hugs the entire body. That awesome GT hood treatment fits the theme perfectly. Even the details are great - from the bright factory alloys to the large dual exhaust tips.


The white roof has a good look against the white body, and when you take it down, there are tasteful white accents to make sure you still keep your color theme in this gray interior. All the essentials remain in their stock appearance, including the dual spoke steering wheel, which gives you a clear view of the original speedo and tach. This convertible came loaded with cruise control, power locks, a tilt wheel, an armrest center console, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. Plus, power windows and the power convertible top mean you don't have to leave the driver's seat to open this one up. And it's easy to stay cool with air conditioning blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant.


The 5.0 High Output V8 continued to evolve, and 1986 is a pivotal year for Mustang fans. This is when they would introduce sequential electronic fuel injection. With its great sound, stout performance, and impressive torque, this injected V8 made it the pony car of choice for an entire generation. While there is a huge and affordable aftermarket for these motors, this one remains refreshingly stock. And the driving experience proves this has been a well-respected car. There's a tightness in the suspension feel and smoothness in the four-speed automatic transmission that make this a great all-around cruiser. In fact, you'll love driving this drop-top all weekend with its power steering, power brakes, and front discs.


This is the Mustang drop-top that leaves room in your budget to create a power pony or enjoy a truly significant survivor. And no matter your plans, you have a fun cruiser from day one. Call today!!!
