For Sale: 1985 Ford Mustang in Lavergne, Tennessee

This 1985 Ford Mustang LX Convertible is a life-long Tennessee car with a long-term first owner. So while you have the desirable fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8 and an interior loaded with features - including cold-blowing A/C - this may just be most impressive for being such a well-respected blue-on-blue classic drop-top.

Light Regatta Blue is a great color to have when presenting a Mustang of distinction. It was only available for a few years and wasn't as popular as colors like red. So you're going to have people come in for a closer look. And this one has the kind of cool style of a well-respected survivor. That means a touch of fading and signs of use, but an overall very stock and clean style. So everything from the straight sheet metal to the delicate blue pinstripe help tell the story of decades under the same care. While this is a long-term first owner, it's believed to have only one other owner, and we are grateful for the second owner. This is where fresh investments were made like a nicely sourced set of stock-style 15-inch alloys and new tires. And the new black convertible roof has a lean look that goes well with the black headlight buckets and a band of trim that encircles the full car.

We like the look of the black roof, but the real distinct style shows when you take it down. The blue interior against the blue paint gives this very American Mustang a touch of European flair. It's highly stock inside with even some pieces re-dyed to retain a good-looking blue. Just like the exterior, it's not perfect, but it's well respected while also showing its history. You'll also like how this premium LX model is loaded with the best factory features. This includes power windows, power locks, cruise control, an armrest center console, and the stock AM/FM/cassette stereo. There are also well-integrated upgrades. The factory air conditioning is blowing cold with modern R134a refrigerant. And the second owner replaced the hydraulic lines and cylinder to keep the power top operating smoothly.

The LX is the more luxury cruiser kind of pony car, and so it's nice to see it has the right motor. Not everyone got the 5.0-liter V8 in 1985, nor did they get the desirable electronic fuel injection. It means you have a powerful heart made to be smooth and consistent. That's especially true there thanks to recent investments in a tune-up and the exhaust. So this classic drop-top is a fun driver. And features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive make it a terrific all-weekend cruiser.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance records. This is a distinct blue-on-blue V8 Mustang that loves to hit the road and show off its history. Call today!!!
