Remember driving your 5.0/5-speed Mustang? Want to get that feeling back? This is your chance to own a true survivor, 1986 Mustang GT that hasn't been modified and that has only 18,000 miles. How can that be? Check the history report; this Mustang was stolen on April 4, 987, nd didn't get re-titled until 2012, 5 years later. Because it was once stolen, he car will always have a reconstructed title (at least in Virginia), ut this car must have spent many years in hiding after it was stolen, nd it is in amazing condition, specially for its age.
No visible rust to the body. There is some bubbling in the paint that should be addressed eventually, ut there is no rust. undercarriage has only the expected minor surface rust (exhaust, ower control arms).
Unmodified car, ith much of it original, ery unusual for a foxbody Mustang. See the list of the work I did to this car, ut most of the car is original, ncluding the interior, nd unbelievably, he exhaust (it's sill quieter than my 2009 Mustang GT).
I was driving on a back road in 2014 and saw this car with a for sale sign, nd I just had to have it. For the first year after I bought it, enjoyed many hours with my sons doing the work outlined below. The car is solid, nd was driven quite regularly this past summer by my daughter, ut I have a newer Mustang as my daily driver, nd I am willing to give this car up to a good home.
Here is what we did with the car since buying it:
There are no other issues that I am aware of on this car. The cruise control, ear de-froster, og lights, igarette lighter, nd map lights all work. The Ford 5.0 pushrod V-8 is a legendary engine, nd this one only only has about 600 miles per year on it. Kumho Ecsta all seasons are new-ish with lots of tread, nd yes, he traction-lok rear end still likes to lay down "11s."
All of this said, t is a 30 year old car. No warranty is offered or implied, nd when you drive any car this old small or large gremlins are apt to occur. However, y daughter drove this car on a couple of trips two hours away over the summer without incident, ut with many thumbs-up from fellow travelers, ven on the spot offers to buy it. Virginia has an annual inspection requirement, nd this car has passed two times on my watch, ith the mechanics marveling each time at its excellent condition.
I posted 24 pictures here, ut if you don't see the picture that you need to see to buy this one, ontact me and I will see what I can do.
You can pick the car up here in Virginia or arrange your own shipping. I also might sell the vehicle locally, o I reserve the right to cancel the auction.
This is a great car that needs to find its next loving owner. Please bid only if you are willing to take good car of this classic foxbody Mustang.
