ok, so I have a thing for '86 GT convertibles... my first Mustang was an '86 GT 'vert automatic. Have always regretted getting rid of it (14 years ago), but c'est la vie.
Recently found another '86 GT 'vert 5 speed. Here's the particulars:
It's an original California car, frame, floor pans, fenders, doors, trunk, shock towers, etc. are completely rust free.
odometer reads ~86k miles... assuming it's been around the block once, despite what owner says.
has a bad repaint... noticeable overspray & poor prep.
top works & has no major rips/tears, but vinyl is feeling old & brittle.
exhaust needs repaired/replaced... rust at muffler/tailpipe... came apart when removing for clutch replacement
supposedly new clutch
Hurst shifter
looks like aftermarket headers & cold air intake
cracked dash pad
lowered front suspension... not sure if lowering springs used or cut coils
welded subframe connectors & strut tower brace present- unknown manufacturer
16" pony rims
low option car- no power windows/locks/ or cruise
aftermarket steering wheel
supposedly working A/C
no boot for the top
front chassis brace held on with zip-ties
front bumper cover's been smacked a few times- paint cracked & scraped.
one scrape on driver's side fender- would require paint & bodywork
interior is dirty, but all there... would probably clean up pretty good.
pricing is tricky on this one... it's a running/driving car... and a clean California car with no rust... but it DOES need some work, and the some of the work that has been done seems pretty sketchy.
He's asking $3400.
In the $3k to $4k price range, I can find a few newer, nicer foxes & SN95s. But I want another 4-eyed 'vert. That's worth something, I'm just not sure how much. I'm thinking $2500. Competition is tough in the L.A. market, so doubt it would go for $1k - $1.5k... thoughts?
