J/Y car that is odd

[84StangSVT]

Fox, saw this car at a junkyard today and it is advertised as an 86 but I'm not sure it really is. Hopefully you can decipher with the limited information.

The "G" in the VIN means 1986

Dark metallic hatchback?

[84StangSVT]

Here's what's weird....the car has a 2.3 carbed with a 4 speed tranny. The dash has a twin post, premium sound cassette player in it.

I think 86 4cyl still had carb.

The non-turbo 4-cyl was still carbureted in 1986. It was the only Capri/Mustang engine that was that year.

Guess I still have a lot to learn! Thanks Fox. Out of curiosity...is the dash the same as an older model? This one has no issues and still has a double post radio. Attachment 99289

[84StangSVT]

Let me rephrase that. Is the radio opening the same as the 2 post radio or is it closer to the later model?

[STANGMAN116]

86 is different than 84 iirc?

[FoxChassis]

2 - post = 1979-84
DIN style = 1985-86
