Vehicle Description
Classic Car Addict is proud to present this 1986 Ford Mustang GT
convertible for sale in our Mesa, Arizona showroom. This is an
affordable survivor vehicle with an awesome presentation. In the
Ford Mustang's well-documented history as one of the world's most
iconic muscle cars, the Fox Body Mustang is often a heavy talking
point. Why? Well, the third-generation model built between 1979 and
1993 is one of - if not the most, distinctive Mustang ever because
of its polarizing design and performance.
The cabin features seats with lumbar adjustments and leg extensions
upholstered in two-tone gray cloth along with a color-coordinated
dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include
cruise control, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, power steering, a tilting
steering column, intermittent wipers, power windows, power locks,
and air conditioning. The two-spoke steering wheel frames an 85-mph
speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for amperage, coolant
temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer
shows 34k miles, approximately 6k of which were added under current
ownership.
The car left the factory finished in Silver Metallic and it still
sports its original paint, there have been NO resprays. The black
vinyl top and window are still original and in almost perfect
condition. It features black hood graphics, black side body
moldings (they have lightened over the years) and a trunk-mounted
luggage rack with dual exhaust outlets. Up front, it features a
mildly molded hood that feeds into a pointed bumper with discrete
grills and pushed-in quad headlights. The Mustang rolls on BF
Goodrich radial T/A's, 225/60R15's all the way around. Braking is
handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
The 5.0 HO V8 features sequential electronic fuel injection and was
factory rated at 200HP and 285 lbs./ft of torque. This translated
to a greatly improved acceleration time, aided by a 5-speed
Borg-Warner T-5 manual that helped boost the RWD machine from 0-60
in 6.3 seconds. We look at these numbers now and think woah, not
the fastest, but back in 86 it was! Old track numbers from 1986
show these 5.0 HO's running a quarter mile in 14.7 seconds. The new
engine for 1986 was undoubtedly the best mill the model had seen in
years.
The 1986 Ford Mustang GT was simply one of the best-handling
Mustangs to date, feeling more like a sports car than an actual
purebred straight-line-only muscle machine. Don't miss out on
