1986 Ford Mustang Description

This car was built to be dependable, easy to maintain, with better performance in acceleration, handling, and braking.

Modifications are mild and use factory parts for the most part, I didn't want to vary too much from stock to avoid creating other issues and wanted to keep maintenance close

to a stock car.

The car runs very well, runs cool, has good oil pressure, shifts great, and no rear

axle noise.

Engine work, brakes, and suspension were done in summer of 2013 with very few

miles since. Cooling system was flushed at that time. Power steering system was flushed approximately 2 years ago. New Stewart EMP aluminum water pump was added last year.

Installed Late Model Restoration’s ARP water pump bolt kit and new Motorcraft serpentine

belt at that time.


AC works very well and has been converted to 134 so maintenance can be done anywhere. Oil pan gasket was professionally replaced on 9/22/2015. There is still a very small oil leak towards the front of the pan, possibly from the drain plug.

The only rust I can see are very small areas at the inside lower corner of the doors I assume it's rust, it is red, there are pictures included. There is also another very small spot in the hatch channel, RH side. This "rust" was the same when I bought the car and has not changed any.

There are also a couple of paint chips on the hatch channel. I'm sure there are other minor blemishes in the paint from driving, but as said paint is fairly new and car has been garaged. Also, car does not have ugly front license bracket on bumper or any holes from such,Tennessee does not require front license plates.

Carpet and dash were replaced, look good, but fit is not as good as original. I also have a set of the factory 10 slat dealer installed louvers that I will include. These are not installed. Since the trim is black, I think they would look very nice on the car and do help for heat and interior fading issues. They are complete except for 1 of the lower brackets, I only have 1 of the 2. I have another set of louver brackets which are close and could be used with some modifying.

T-tops will need some adjusting, not a complete seal. Weatherstripping is new, I have tried adjusting but needs someone more proficient.

Gas gauge does not work, I fill up and use trip odometer to decide when to gas up.

I can hear some valve train sounds at idle after the car has run for a while, after the oil is warmer and thinner. Again, the car runs smooth and strong.

Let me know what questions you have, I have covered a lot, but may well have forgotten something. Car is available for inspection close to Knoxville, TN. More pictures available if needed.

The car has been sorted out and many parts replaced, but it is a 30 year old car and is being sold as-is. Bidders with no Ebay history or located outside of the U.S. need to contact the seller before bidding please.

The car is pictured with the refinished original wheels that will be sold with the car with the exception of the last picture in which the car is shown with a set of Enkei mesh wheels that I have extra for the car.
These are 16” refinished black mesh wheels with very good condition summer maximum performance tires. These wheels are lighter weight and have ¼” less backspacing giving you a little wider track width.These Enkei wheels will be sold in a different auction after the Mustang auction is finished. If the auction winner of the Mustang is interested, I will offer them to them for $600, tires included, which is well below market value based on my research.
