Vehicle Description
Zoom Classic Cars is back to the 80s ...... we are proud to offer
this gently used 1987 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 - Scarlet RED, very low
mileage, manual 5 speed, hatchback ready for a new home. This
classic Fox Body with just over 31k original miles has spent the
last 27 years out of commission stored up on jack stands in optimal
weather tight conditions. Call it a barn find of sorts - yet
without all the dirt, the current owner purchased in 1994 as 3rd
owner, about a year after purchase real life took hold and the car
has been stored for a chapter ahead. Recently the owner has decided
to recommission the car and ready it for sale. For a little back
history, this 1987 Mustang falls within FORD's well proven "FOX"
platform which successfully ran from 1978 through 1993. The 1987
Mustang GT is reported to be the cornerstone of the 3rd generation
Mustang run (1979-1993), 1987 revitalized the Mustang image mostly
from the higher factory horsepower and performance that cultivated
the well-known "bolt on" performance era of the 80's forward. This
classic is a hatchback, all original drivetrain includes the 5.0L
(HO) 225 HP Sequential Fuel Injected (SEFI) V8 mated to a stout
Borg Warner T-5 (5 speed) transmission feeding the 8.8 rear
differential with factory 3:73 gearing. Factory options include PS,
PB, AC, manual crank windows, tilt steering wheel, AM/FM Cassette
w/factory equalizer and partial power cloth sports seats. According
to an owner provided Marti report this car is a bit rare due to
some minor points including Red Scarlet w/titanium lower accent
exterior w/Scarlet red cloth sports seats, stereo option with
graphic equalizer, front license plate bracket delete, AC option
with rear hatch window defrost delete. Focused to recommission,
this beauty just received a full overhaul to braking, mechanical,
fuel and cooling systems. The car has NO signs of any previous body
work or damage, the undercarriage is pristine with no rust, the
interior is perfect and all a true testament to the low mileage on
this classic. At some point the car looks to have been
professionally clear coated (over the original factory paint) and
currently shows very well and with great shine. In trend with
popular 80's "Fox Body Mustang" upgrades this car holds just a few
including a fiberglass cowl style hood, ceramic coated headers
w/stainless X-Pipe, upgraded front roll bar and some chrome
attributes undercarriage. The remainder of the vehicle is stock in
nature and runs as factory with a little extra kick (in a good way)
from the exhaust upgrades. The car is currently on the road and
runs excellent with a true feel of a low mileage factory classic.
Items for disclosure include the AC system which is fully intact
but lacking freon and the factory AM/FM Cassese deck with equalizer
requires service but also fully intact. Additionally, there is one
exterior picture of the driver's side front "A "pillar where it
meets the roof, this appears to be a small (factory) blemish on the
finish. For recent commission the current owner spared no expense,
for overview this car received rebuilt front brake calipers, rear
wheel cylinders, new master cylinder, new brake hoses front and
rear, full fuel system overhaul including refreshed injectors, fuel
filter and fuel fill neck grommet, new aluminum dual core radiator
(for optimal cooling), thermostat, serpentine belt and tensioner,
rebuilt starter, rebuilt alternator, starter relay, new motor craft
battery, all fluids changed and general tune up including 2 new
oxygen sensors and TFI Ignition module with pickup coil. This car
is ready for a new home and in great shape, have some fun, it
handles well and it's fun to shift that T-5 behind that 5.0L HO
injected power plant. This Red hatchback certainly fosters good
memories and a thumbs up from folks in the 80's generation, get
ready to have some fun at a modest price. You will be hard pressed
to find a cleaner low mileage Fox Body in this condition. This
vehicle is located in Northern, NJ. Call Scott at: (201) 483-0388.
