    Default 85 GT in Arizona HEMMINGS

    original owner 85 GT. Looks nice sans the cheesy faux metal decals on the doors. 5900 is a steal.

    Yeah, that looks nice. Won't last long.

    He says the Mustang stickers are original, if it was a dealer added option on the window sticker, they'd probably have to stay on. But gosh I would want to pull them.

    They must be dealer added or used added, as ford has never used those fonts, and would never just Capitalize the M but not the rest in mustang. The stickers are god awful.

    Looks like it is lacking the "GT" on the hood decal, repaint???

    And the hood stripe is 'glossy'. I'm also thinking repaint and the hood stripe is either paint or they cleared over the replacement decal.

    Maybe it's just me.. but why remove the Ford oval off the back if you have mustang plastered all over it ? It's not like people won't know it's a ford lol.

    Seems silly to polish and wash your car up and not buy a 10 dollar ford emblem.

    It's actually more like a $30-$35 emblem these days . . . But I agree!

    Looks nice overall. That door trim is an eye sore imo. Also double check the e-brake as I assume there is a block under the wheel for a reason.

    Oh yes....the overly popular add on rocker trim of the 80's and 90's.

    Definitely not Ford supplied, but could have been an aftermarket piece put on at owners request by the dealer. Most people got these from J.C. Whitney as they were advertised as stainless steel and the perfect accessory to your car. I installed a few of these for people that wanted them and I even had a 92 Cougar that had them on it when I bought it. Had the same font even. I removed them as I was never fond of the look personally.

    Was red interior an option for Medium Canyon Red? I thought I red a post from you previously were only grey and tan were interior color options for Med. Canyon Red? Not sure I've ever seen that combo before

    Yes, (D) Canyon Red interior was available with (2A) Medium Canyon Red Metallic exterior in 1985 and 1986. If you can find where I said it was not I will correct my post there. Thanks.

    It was probably another color car that was being talked about a few months back.

    For me the red on red color is more of a stopper than the stainless panels.
    I guess that is why there are so many different options in life...........we all have different tastes!

    PS I have owned an 87 Foxbody Mustang and an 83 Capri with red on red and after a while they just became too much for me.
    Now that is just my personal taste........no offence to those of you who really like that color combination.
    I never seem to get the nut that holds the steering wheel fixed
