For Sale: 1985 Ford Mustang in Concord, North Carolina

You're looking at an affordable icon with an all-dark style that gives a nice presentation and poise. And yes, this 1985 Ford Mustang GT has a 5.0 V8 heart and a five-speed manual.

This car reminds us why we love this generation GT. The Mustang was one of the true bright spots of proper American power in an era of dwindling figures. So it invigorated a generation to maximize its style and muscle. That's why this one has such a cool look. The lightweight fiberglass hood with a tall power dome, deeply tinted windows, and upgraded rear spoiler give this one extra attitude. And the next-generation SVT alloys give this a terrific custom look while keeping it in the Mustang family. Their polished style stands out nicely against the black paint. This later respray gives this pony car plenty of glossy dark horse attitude. But nothing here is ever too fancy to hit the road on a whim. After all, the point of a classic like this is all about enjoying the V8 fun to the fullest.

The gray interior keeps the car's dark attitude while adding some distinction. It's a nicely done driver's setup with well-bolstered front bucket seats, an upgraded sports steering wheel, and clean gauges featuring a large speedo and tach. There's even a moonroof to let the sunshine into this dark horse. You may choose to update some of the older components or restore the R134a air conditioning, but overall, this is quite an inviting package. There's even the best in driving music with an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth, a USB input, and a subwoofer built into the spare wheel well.

The 1985 car was built to be the pinnacle of carbureted 5.0 Mustangs. So it makes for the right car to buy for a little extra tuning fun. This V8 has already been upgraded with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an upgraded ignition, and headers feeding the H-pipe dual exhaust. And the five-speed manual transmission puts the control of this hardy V8 completely in your hands. It's built to be a performer with modern sport tires, upgraded subframe connectors, and thick sway bars front and rear. You also have great anytime-driving features like power steering, power brakes, and front discs.

This cool car represents the best of power and poise from its generation. So don't let this dark and speedy GT getaway. Call now!
