Vehicle Description
1987 Ford Mustang GT (#999) DOCUMENTED 1 OWNER 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,
For a little back history this1987 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. Watch my Video! Financing is
