I know there is a lot to read about this car; I want the buyer to know everything I went through and the reason for my price on this car. Yes it is a little pricey for a convertible 5.0 in a 'needing paint' condition. But it is worth it. This car was brought back from practically being dead, for a new lease on life.

After passing this car on a side street for years and watching it slowly deteriorate; I knew I had to have it. I bought it for 2200$, yes I know thats a lot of dough for a hunk of junk fox body; but I live in a very expensive area, and these cars are pretty 'rare' locally. This car is the first year of the SEFI 5.0 and 8.8 rear; this car is SPEED DENSITY, NOT MAF.

This car was bought as a project car and was put back together with the utmost concern for New England winters (i.e. Salt) and stopping them from hurting the car in any way, shape or form, the entire interior of the car was removed, carpet pulled, whatever rust there was, was taken care of, there was a small hole in the floor near the seam for the “wall” that goes up to the rear seats, I tacked/mig'd a line through the whole seam, and used new seam sealant on it, I also welded a patch on the rear seat area and used seam sealant on it as well. Then I proceeded to spray the entire floor pans/rear seat area with 3m rubber spray/rubberizer; I did this to rid the car of some road noise and to be sure if anything ever leaked in passenger compartment, soda, salt, what-have-you – that even if it did soak into the carpet, it wouldn't touch bare or painted metal.

The trunk was taken care of like this as well – there was a patch that was needed near the filler neck of the gas tank, so I went ahead and cut it out and patched it. Used seam sealer on it, and proceeded to rubberize the interior of the trunk as well.

The entire underbody of the car was gone through piece by piece for weeks. It isn't all one color or show painted. But where there was rust, we sanded till bare metal and used rust converter/primer on it. Then sealed the spots up. This car was to be a daily driver, and it never was, it was taken out on some summer days, shooting out of the H-Pipe. No exhaust system was ever bought for it. The car came to me shooting out of the exhaust manifolds.

If there are any questions about the car, please e-mail me at gered@optonline.net. Other than that, I tried to list all the info below. If I forgot anything; I'll edit the information on a new post/edit.

Vehicle:1986 Ford Mustang GT Convertible 5.0, 5 Speed – 70,000 Orig. Miles
Location: Wilton, CT (06897)
Asking Price: $2900 or best offer (please no lowballers and PLEASE DO NOT POST THAT – OH THIS KID IS A SCAMMER ETC ETC. IVE HAD TWO PEOPLE DO THAT TO ME IN THE PAST BECAUSE THEY 'THOUGHT' THEY HAD SOMETHING BETTER FOR SALE, AND SURE I AM SURE THERE ARE BETTER THINGS OUT THERE, BUT THIS THING IS MY BABY AND I HAVE PUT MANY HOURS AND OVER A 1000$ INTO PARTS; IF YOU HAVE SOME TYPE OF BS TO PUSH/SEND TO ME GO ELSEWHERE, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF, I AM BEING AS KIND AND GENEROUS AS I CAN.


Additional Information:
Car Runs, Drives & Handles Like A Mustang is supposed to.
Car was originally Metallic Gray (According to the color on the inside of the doors)
Car is now a Dark Metallic Green (But Is half spotted in primer)
Amazingly the Dashboard is not cracked and the original radio is included with the car, yet has some sort of wiring issue going on.

Car Has Had The Following Done To It:
New Front Calipers, Rotors, Hoses and Pads
New Rear Drums, Hardware (Self-Adjusters/Springs), Shoes, Lines & Rear Hose
New Distributor Cap, Rotor, Plugs & Wires
New Intake Manifold Gaskets
New Exhaust Manifold Gaskets
Cold Air Intake Kit (Came From a MAF Car – Somewhat old/ghetto)
New Windshield Installed
New Headlights, parking lamps & side marker covers
New Gray Carpet (slightly off color because the rest of the car sat for so long in the sun, but looks pretty nice).
Most If Not ALL of the rust taken care of/body work completed (less paint).
Brand New H-Pipe with four cats
Comes with two spintech pro-street mufflers (unlike most flow-disaster equipped mustangs) and two 3 inch tailpipes. Bring the mufflers and tailpipes to an exhaust shop and I am sure they could put a catback together for you for roughly 300$, not even; and it would sound/look like nothing you have ever heard/seen.
New OEM Fuelpump
New Fueltank
New Sending Unit
New Front Swaybar Endlinks (polyeurethane)

Car Needs:
Would be time for some new shocks/struts in ~ 20-25,000 miles.
Speedometer Doesn't work, but Tach does; speedo quit on me three days after i got the car, the miles on this car are original.
Primer Sanding/Sealing and a Paint Job; most if not all the body work has been done.
Oil Pan Gasket (Small leak going directly ontop of rack and pinion up front)
Rear Main Seal (Doesn't HAVE to be done, would be nice)
U-joints, tailshaft seal/gasket (Don't have this), and diff seal need to be installed
Needs to have the grill/doorpanels re-installed, i even have new clips/screws for this.
Convertible top glued down/tightened on the passenger side behind Ό window.
Four Ford Center Caps For The 10-Hole Wheels.
The carpet was installed a little crooked in my eyes. Not correctly done by me on a disorderly night . I have patched it in two places that you really cannot tell exist.
The drivers-side seat has a rip on the left bolster/a detroit lean to it.
Work on the Foglights to see as to why they aren't working.
Wiring switched around for the front window (you have to hit the switch DOWN for the window to go UP and the switch UP for the window to go DOWN.
Misc TLC (i.e. Degreasing of motor/ cleanup all around, use q-tips or compressed air to really get down and dirty cleaning of the interior, etc.

New Turn Signals/Side Markers
New U-Joints
