1986 Mustang GT Hatch 5.0 5sp RED. Tell me if its a good deal!

[MustangOwner]

Hi guys, Yes, its me again with another car ha. Well that last '85 GT i looked at was all cobbled together and was rusty as SHEIT!(Lets just say when i walked up i thought the driver seat was broken....it was the floor rusting through so bad it tilted the seat!) So for 1500.00 i passed! But oh we got a new baby! And better pics also! So here we go!

Okay Lets just make a list.....

He wants $650.00

Could i really go wrong at that price.... i mean honestly?

---------1986 Mustang GT Hatchback 5.0 5spd
1. The interior is very nice! It has the arm rests for the doors it just needs new clips to hold them on.....
2. The outside has no rust besides the hatch,(which i have another hatch for it)
3. The underbody has no rust through spots, Just little seem rust that can be sanded and painted!
4. It needs new rims and tires which i have from my '91 Stang Pony rims!
5. Has the wrong driver side fender on it! I need to replace it with a '86 fender! Not a big deal.
5. 176,000 or 76,000 miles. Unknown....
6. Engine runs and drives
7. Tranny is perfect and shifts very nice
8. Engine misses at low rpm.... But other wise is good. It is very driveable
It has a new dist. Cap rotor, plugs, wires, fuel pressure regulator. Still didn't fix it.
9. Clean Title in his name
10. Needs a speedo cable


Look at the pictures and let me know what you think. Tell me if you see anything bad or anything thats missing! Thanks alot guys.

I'm looking for a nice good project car to restore and i think this could be it? Let me know what you think.

as long as it isnt rusty I would say do it.

 

[ttop88]

Where are you located 91fox? I don't find deals like this. No rust is next to imposable to find here in indiana on any 20+ year old car. It runs has t5 and should have a 8.8 that is the asking price. The body and chassis are free!

 

[MustangOwner]

He claims its not rusty so. It looks like its in pretty good shape. Hell the seats look mint besides needing a good steam wash or wahtever ha. I think its a good deal for $650.00?

Test drive it first and push it as hard as u can and if it survives do it... I like that steering wheel alot better than the one on my 92 lx.

 

[blckstng96]

i think its a pretty decent deal,offer $450 and see what he says

 

[krallman]

I would just go ahead and give him 650 before someone else buys it.

 

[MustangOwner]

Yeah i'm just gonna give him $650.00 for it. Hes taking a more pics of it for me and hes gonna make sure that there is no rust on the underbody. If there isn't any like he says i already told him i'd buy it for 650.00. So hopefully there isn't any cause i want that car ha.

 

[nonglossjason]

its an svo steering wheel i think

 

[FrankenStang]

For $650 you'd better buy that biotch...

 

[Supes]

I'm going to have to agree. for $650, you can't really go wrong. have fun!

I know thats what i was thinking.... I mean i want a '85 - '86 GT Hatch 5.0 5spd really bad. and these will only be getting harder to find and more money too...! so i can't go wrong buying it.

 

[Strippt88]

$650, and how long till you get it home! Stop talking to us, man, buy the car before its gone!

 

[Darkwriter77]

Hell, for $650, even if it turns out to be a turd, you could recoup the cost by parting it out. But really, it doesn't look unsalvagable at all. I'd hit it.

Really dig the hood and steering wheel, too. Throw two more 10-hole rims on there, fix up the front-left fender, and hook up a TB-to-airbox tube, and it wouldn't be too shabby at all, especially for that price.

I got 4 pony rims that are just mint off my '91. I'd even use my '91 Air tube too cause i put a BBK CAI but it doesn't have mass air so it wont work. Plus i'm working at a body shop now so it will be up and preeetty in no time! I'm going to pick it up this weekend of monday for sure!

I guess i'm not familar with the word daisy?

 

[FrankenStang]

You've never seen Tombstone? Doc Holiday? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMG!

 

[MustangOwner]

ha no i haven't. i must of missed something good eh?

 

[QUICK91LX]

looks good for 650

get a new front bumper cover as the valence on this one is shot

that fender is fine, just get it aligned properly, get the proper moldings and an 85-86 fender extension and you are good to go

check both fender aprons and underneath the car (swaybar mounts, etc) for damage/misalignment. the color of the front clip looks different so look for evidence of accident damage that could cause trouble for you down the line

def some new carpet and clean up those seats and new dash pad...the interior isnt bad though
