I am the original owner of this loaded, rust free, mostly stock 1986 California Mustang GT; I believe the color of the interior is medium canyon red; vehicle is in Glendale, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.
The important stuff:
The car has about 531K miles on the original motor (believe it!) and runs like a champ, mostly highway miles with the 2.73 rear end. I know that is a lot of miles but I hardly ever get on it and have been maintaining it; the 86 motor is a low RPM torque monster so it does not need to be wound out. The car never fails to start and is my daily driver; would have no trouble driving it anywhere across the country.
Title is clear but salvaged - with older cars, any bump and the insurance will total the car.
Price: $3000 OBHO (or best higher offer,
) - actually, I have no real idea of where to price the car since there are not that many 31 year old cars on the road any more; will probably also put it on ebay to get an idea.
The interior looks great and has no tears on the seats but the headliner has a few smaller ones but is not hanging anywhere.
Also as you might see on the picture, there are two cracks on the dashboard.
Replaced the passenger visor some time ago and it is like new but the driver visor need replacing.
Radio still works but scratchy out of some speakers and the tape player quit some time ago; not sure if it can be revived as I haven't used tapes in a long time.
Upgraded to adjustable clutch quadrant.
Engine runs great but has not been rebuilt except for a valve cover gasket ages ago; a lot of parts are newer like starter, ignition module, water pump, rear end, battery, windshield, etc.
Uses K&N filter with Flowmaster II exhaust.
Clutch and transmission were replaced about 18 month ago and then the transmission was again rebuilt as the replacement wasn't working perfectly - now shifts are buttery smooth, better than ever, even when the car was new; a real joy to short shift and let the engine torque pull you away!
It does leak a few drops a day (from the rear main seal I think from looking at it) so it goes low about a quart every 2500 miles but by then it is time to change the oil anyway.
A/C works and was recharged about a year ago.
I stripped the car down to metal a couple of years ago and had it repainted and have included some pictures of the process; the paint still looks great from 10 feet away but inevitably with time there are some scratches and chips so don't expect perfection; paint color is Viper Red and you may notice that the hood has black paint, not a sticker and I altered the design to go all the way down to the lip which I think looks much better than stock (your mileage may vary).
I think I covered it all? Let me know if I missed something or you have any ? or want specific pictures (somehow you can only put 5 on the thread which is not nearly enough and I don't know how to add more)
Reason that I am selling now; the registration is coming up in March and I have more cars than I can handle and with retirement knocking on the door I need to downsize, so either my 86 IROC or this one needs to go, whichever comes first
Thank You for looking and Happy Hunting,
Cheers,
Abe
