1986, Oxford White, , hatchback
Oxford White 1986 Mustang GT fastback owned by Kevin from New York. It has a 302ci V8 and a manual transmission. Kevin tells us about his GT, "I bought the car in 2006 with about 60,000 miles on it. The car was located in Whitestone Queens. The person I bought the car from had it 18 years. He purchased it from his friend who only had it for 2 years. That was the 20 year(at the time) history of the car. I only recently turned the odometer back to zero. It does not have six digits on the odometer. After 99,999 it goes back to zero. There is now 107,000 or so miles on it. It's still all original and runs great. The only modification is the lowering springs. I hate the way it rides and I'm
putting it back to normal ride height."

It is also the first year of fuel injection for the Fox bodied Mustang GT. I bought this beautiful hard to find 1986 Mustang GT convertible around 9-10 years ago. I found it in Chicago for sale. I flew out one way and drove it home top down. This has been a fantastic car ever since. Here are some of the things that have been done to the car; brand new Jegs black powder coated water pump, lower radiator hose replaced, new Ford fuel filter, painted factory color and charcoal trim, replaced white interior, replaced dark red carpeting, replaced convertible top, replaced exhaust from the headers back, new Borg Warner 'World Class' T-5 manual transmission, short throw shifter, heavy duty clutch, alternator, battery, white glossy Cobra R 5-star rims, Hankook & Kumo wide profile tires, aftermarket stereo. $125 worth of manuals & books, and a heavy duty car cover"
