picked up my mustang today

[ryan218]

i got my mustang today. it runs great with only 51,000 org miles on it. it will make a great 5.0 conversion one of these days.

here's a video of it at idle. there is a leak at the header so it is loud right now. we will take it back to piqua and get dual exhaust with turbo mufflers on it in 3 weeks. dad has to do the roof next weekend so that's out. but here's the video

nice to see someone showin some love for the forgotten four eyes...

the 3.8 V6 was the standard engine in convertibles 83-86 and an optional engine in hatchbacks...cant say ive ever seen a 3.8 notch but im sure they existed

Congrats.... It looks to be pretty nice. Call me odd, but I kinda like the white wall and hubcap look for a change. It appeals to the '70s in me I guess.

Anyhow, enjoy the ride.

our 86 has a 5.0. one thing that is kool is that the 83 GLX was the first year of the convertable so thats kool i think.

We test drove a V6 4 eyed notch a LONG time ago. I think I was 7 or 8 at the time (1993 or so) and we were looking for a Mustang for my mom. Drove that, drove an early 80s notch with a late model V8 swapped in, and then my dad fell in love with the 89 LX hatch we test drove that had 3.55s and a few other bolt ons. But if my memory serves me right we did test drive an 86 V6 notch (white over blue I believe).

nice, that sounds kinda cool...i know there were 6cyl notches early on in the fox run, 79-82...both the straight 6 and V6...its rare to see an 86 though...it didnt have ttops too did it? that would be schweet

It might not have been an 86, I was really young and knew nothing about them at the time. As far as TTop, I dont think so. Maybe a sunroof.
