That's a great looking 84!
1984 Mustang GT. Restomod completed 8 years ago. New carpet, seals, front and rear glass, upholstery when restored. Always garage kept since. Power windows, locks, hatch, and gas filler door. AC and cruise work great. 140 mph speedometer. I've driven just under 13,000 in the last 8 years. It has a 4 bbl carb, but starts right up at any time whether sitting for days/weeks or just shut down. Full roller 5.0 block, Edelbrock RPM ported heads, roller rockers and lifters, aluminum driveshaft, Lincoln 8.8 rear end with 3.55 gears, 99 GT front spindles/calipers/discs, long tube headers, 2.5" exhaust, later model wheels and tires, WC T-5, lowered, CC plates, 4 wheel disc brakes. It has not been dyno'd but has more power than the tires can put to the ground. Not interested in trades. The color is bright copper with a tan interior. Less than 100 84 GT's were this color.

I don't need any lessons in 1984 Mustangs thanks as I've owned 7 of them. I just wanted to say that the one piece spoiler with the non fog light front end would have to be super, duper, crazy unusual to see. I know, I get it. It was Ford in the '80s. I was sitting in them when new on the showroom floor. Just wanted to point that out. Not buying the hood scoop as original though. I believe the under hood insulation would have been different for a car with that hood scoop. There does not appear to actually be a hole in that hood. He says restomod in the ad. Never claims it as all original. It looks great overall.

That style hood scoop (non functional, so the insulation was probably the same for cars with or without the hood scoop) was only used for one year on the 5.0 GT's, 1983. It was on Turbo GT's in 83 and 84. So it should not be on an 84 5.0 GT.
If they take my stapler, then I'll set the building on fire...

nice looking car. Quite tasteful mods overall.
Not a buyer for this one as I have plenty of my own stuff to sort right now. If I were, I would swap out for 86LX/GT style exhaust pipes. That's the biggest thing that jumped out at me as both original and looking like it doesn't quite fit in. Understandable since those pipes belong on an 87+ GT......
Surprisingly the wheels look pretty good. I wouldn't have thought of putting those on a foxbody.
Again. I am well aware of all that. The cars that had that hood scoop had an actual hole cut in the hood and the insulation reflected that. If you removed the blockoff plate from the scoop you would have fresh air in the engine bay. Ask me how I know. And yes, that was never a functional scoop with the plate in place.
One can only assume that at some point someone at Ford had planned on it actually being functional. It was exactly the same shape hole as the 1982 GT hood had and it also had a non functional scoop and on top of that the hood is totally different from the 1983-84. Some people can't help but try to teach I guess, LOL.
On a side note, you will notice that under the hood of every single S197 of every model there is actually a cutout for a hood scoop. John Clorr told me that that was because they insisted on making a Mach 1 model. So they built that in the original design. But people and roles change and there obviously never was a S197 Mach 1. But that is why if you look under the hood of any of them, you see a cutout for a hood scoop.

Unless this craigslist seller got a personal stat report from Marti stating there were less than 100 GT in 9C that's a made up number. There were over 800 P28M (hatchback 5.0L, LX and GT combined) in 9C.

Wow, that is odd Jason. The phone number in that post by ddx77 has a 610 area code, which is PA and the car was located in Trexlertown. There is no Trexlertown Oklahoma at all but there IS a Trexlertown PA. NOW, the AD says its located in Tuttle, OK and no phone. Something really fishy here going on.

The contact info Jason is questioning appears to have come from the ad in this thread: http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...5-Capri-18-900
Seems maybe ddx77 got his ads crossed when he was copying and pasting.
