86 gt or 92 lx?

[boxcarracer89]

OK well ive come across a decesion to make and to me its a pretty tough one, i am able to buy a mustang, both the same price. one is a white 92 lx coupe with a short block 347 and the other is a 86 hatch gt with an automatic b and m tranny?? what would u guys do?

I would be inclined to go with the GT; although 347 is nice number.

I'm partial to White LX Coupes myself...

 

[tannerc91gt]

Coupe all the way

86 gt all day long aslong as you keep it with the 4 eyes !!!!!!!!!!!!!

4 eye cars are overated.

aero + coupe + 347 = a way better deal than some auto '86.

 

[ill advised]

Any more details? Right now I'm thinking LX all the way (especially if it's a 5-speed).

 

[krazedstang]

i agree go with the LX, its got a 347 and a 5speed, me personally wouldn't think twice about it

Stock AOD GT 86 = slow as hell compared to stroker coupe 5spd
that's just a fact. If it's for the same money, there shouldn't even be a debate

I'd take the coupe. You can mode the engine more since it's MAF + coupes are harder to come by.

The 86 dosent even have an engine, its a rolling chasi and the 92 is also a rolling chasi, it just has the harness, an apl computer and a 347 short block is thrown in w the car, the 86 has new interior though.

If its the same seller can you work a deal for the 86 plus stroker? If not then I change my mind go notch with the motor.

well my uncle is the one that was gonna sell me the 92 w the 347 and his friend wanted it and had an 86 w the tranny to trade him so it was either or

My Vote is the 86 GT unless it has rust issues BUT if you won't be able to get a motor any time soon, then go with the LX and 347, a tranny is a lot cheaper.

says you on the first comment , but I agree with you on the second.

Man, I thought you were cool. Booooooooooo!

That said, I'd have to lean to the LX. Coupes are great, and these cars are just not worth having with automatics, IMO. I would also base my decision on how much you trust the builder/owner of the 347.

 

[Mintsick]

LX all the way.

 

[boxcarracer89]

I also got a 347 w gt40 heads and intake sitting in the garage, but the 347 being sold w the 92 is a crate engine.

 

[1987LXragtop]

wait...you already have a motor? Then I switch back . get the GT with the new interior.
