I recently purchased a 1985 GT with 36k on the odometer. Been sitting garage kept for 20 years . Prior owner was very particular about the car.
I dropped the fuel tank and had the carb rebuilt.
I also changed the fuel pump and after some modification, I got the pump guard back on .
Ran the car yesterday for the first time and she sounded awesome.
Thing that need to be done before its road worthy are :
Radiator flush test.
New heater core.
Convert AC from R12 to R134 .
Flush Brake fluid .
New tires all around .
New headliner.
The only thing theprior owner did was remove the air pump and cats.
Would appreciate some help with resources to purchase quality parts .
New to The whole Ford world.
Thanks for reading !

Welcome. Good looking car. (I am a bit biased for that exact car though!)

Got any pics of the interior?

Are those the original tires?

The only thing theprior owner did was remove the air pump and cats.
Looks like the plug wires and upper radiator hose were changed out sometime too. And that label on the fan shroud isn't factory. What does it reference?

And for some reason, the "Mustang" decal on the hatch is not original. It should be a different font and should include the "GT" also.


That paint can be buffed out nice.
I'd believe so also.

Looking forward to following the car's progression.
