Hi everyone, my name is Peter and I just recently purchased a silver 82 GT from Illinois. I bought the car from the original owner who is a now retired auto tech. I feel very lucky to have found this 82 as it has been meticulously maintained. It does have original paint and the original interior. However the original owner did build up the rest of the car. I was told almost all parts were brand new at the time of the build which was about 17 years ago now. It has a 5.0 crate motor with a cam, 8.8 rear end with 373 gears, Tremec T5 five speed tranny, 4 wheel disc brake and 5 lug conversion (same set up as an SVO), full exhaust, aluminum driveshaft etc. The underside of the car is very clean. In fact it is probably just as clean if not cleaner than the exterior.
I have had an 85 GT in the past as well as a 89 5.0 LX vert and am just getting back into a fox. I also currently have two 05 GTs (one vert and one fastback). I love both the Foxes and the S197s but the Fox is the stang I grew up with. I never really worked on my Foxes in the past. I only started doing basic maintenance and mods on my S197s so I hope to learn lots from all you keen 4 eyed members here. The 82 was my dream mustang in high school and I am so glad to have found this one.
