Love that! Love an 84 GT

I had a 92 LX and lived in San Diego for a while. My car got some mild JBA work. JBA did some outstanding work on the Fox bodies. Their products were quality.

Totally agree - I'm working on a potential anniversary car, but as usual - it's something special. Stay tuned :) I remember your 2.3T anny, that was a super neat one. The 70 wagon is cool too, headed to paint this week. 70 Sportwagon (think - GS wagon) with a big buick 455 and EFI. Great cruiser.

Yea i like the shifter knob! My 1st fox was a black 86gt just like the 85 shown here. Ive had 4 foxes over the years 86 - 89 - 93 - now an 88, all hatchback plus i had a 1981 red capri 302 auto but all mine have been 5speed, 1st car was a black 67 mustang 3speed 289. I love mustangs. I have a 88 LX 5.0 in the shop getting black paint now and have spent alot putting it back together, quarter windows were pitted so bought those new and bought the 10 piece side moulding kit . 1.5" cervini hood, alot of other stuff , still have to get the new rubber and latch for sunroof and the new trim kit LMR has with window trim / handles/ and the cowl by the wipers but i like that shifter knob 4sure thats the 1st one ive seen like that

It is amazing what a hotbed for mustangs KC was. Makes you wonder if it had to do with the Twister special program in 1970, if that gave it a boost.

Thank you! And we love our 78 Top Hand as well!

@@LottsOfVintage I look forward to seeing more! especially if it’s on that ram charger top hand additions are so cool

Right on! What color is your '86? That's my favorite year - best of everything, EFI but the square headlights.

@@LottsOfVintage it was the medium canyon red I believe but the kid I got it off did a sanding and flat black rattle can paint job. It's 85% race car. I melted a piston over spraying nitrous threw it so being racecar I ls swapped it and running nitrous again. I just love the body of it but parts like bumper cover are alot more expensive then the areo bodys

Will do!

​@LottsOfVintage MAN NICE COLLECTION LOL I'M A HUGE MUSTANG GUY LOL CURRENTLY I HAVE 7 MUSTANGS LOL I LOVE FOXBODYS LOL I HAVE A 87 RED MUSTANG GT WITH THE RARE T TOP OPTION WITH 69 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES.

​@@LottsOfVintageMY 87 GT IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND I ALSO HAVE A VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA THAT'S ALL ORIGINAL WITH JUST 22 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND IT'S ALMOST PERFECT AND THE ONLY THING DONE TO MY 93 COBRA IS JUST EXHAUST AND THAT'S HOW ITS STAYING.

​@@LottsOfVintageI LOVE TOO BUY ANOTHER 87 TOO 93 MUSTANG GT THAT I CAN MODIFY JUST THE WAY I LIKE LOL MY 87 GT IS ALMOST 100 PERCENT STOCK AND I BOUGHT THAT CAR FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER BACK IN 2014.

​@@LottsOfVintageBACK IN THE 90S I HAD A CHANCE TO BUY A 93 COBRA R FOR 35 GRAND AND I KICK MYSELF FOR NOT BUYING IT BUT LOL I DO HAVE THE NEXT BEST THING IN MY VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA.

I got these from a place in Fort Worth, not terribly expensive and have been pretty happy with them.

Good eye! It's a 70 GS350 (small block car), but it's rare in that it's a 3-speed manual floor shift. Ordered that way new from the factory, one of 187 or so. I'll do a feature on it at some point!

@@LottsOfVintage The deal with the 3 speed is when you specified manual on the order sheet. Your car would be equiped with a 3speed unless you specifically ordered the 4 speed. It basically came down to the dealership representative that filled out your paperwork when you were ordering the car. If the paperwork was not filled out correctly you ended up with the 3 speed. The 4speed was only a 45.00 upgrade. The 3speeds are rare because no one wanted them. Sorry for the rant. I love your platform. Keep up the great work.

Thank you!

Wow, no way!! That’s super cool!

Most of these are 205 or 210 horsepower and 300 ft/lbs torque. 85s are carbed, 86s are EFI. Not a ton of horsepower by today's standards, but they're lightweight and hell of a lot of fun to drive!

SSCs are very cool! I've never owned but, but I always preferred the four-eyed mustangs more, and the 85/6 are my favorite with the "mail slot" grill.

@@LottsOfVintage I do agree with you my first car was a 1986 Mustang GT 5.0 5speed with T-Tops they are my favorite too and when I bought it the 87 were just being delivered but know one had them yet however when I went to pick my car up after the test drive he said I want to show you something and he close the big bay door's to service department and I hear one car pull up and another car pull up and he sticks his out the little side door and says come on in (what I didn't say earlier was my dream car was specific I wanted the 86 Black GT 5.0 5speed with T-Tops and this is like September or October of 1986 so I couldn't find a Black one anywhere) so anyway back to the story. So I walk into the service bay and there is 2 1987 one Black one White both with T-Tops and this is obviously the first time I'm seeing them in person and I just didn't like it but after looking around them they were nice and I started to like them and then I opened the door and I saw that material on the seats and I was like I don't want the grampa version I want the seats like the 86 and he said sorry that's it for the new interior and it was like $2500 difference between buying the 86 to the 87 so it wasn't anything about the money and of course I went with the 1986 and it was the funniest car I've owned I did everything for looks to the car like lowered it put Mesh Enkie wheels on it that were all polished on the lip and face and the inside of the mesh was White put a full skirt kit on it which I cannot remember the name of that kit but it looked so good and I thought this kit looked better then the Saleen kit (I know that's a huge statement but I was only 16 but I still think it looked awesome) I also did an exhaust and took out the innere fender Air Box which really helped that car it was an absolutely fantastic car the only problem I ever had with that car was I went through 4 or 5 Transmissions, again I was 16 and racing my own shadow around so I was using the hell out of it and it took it like a champ. I always wanted the 1986 Saleen but that was out of my price range and yes I paid for my Mustang all by myself and I was actually 15 just a few month's shy of my 16th Birthday and yes the 80's was an awesome time because they knew I was 15 but new I did have money and let me test drive the car and not only that because I literally did ride there on my bicycle to see the car I was buying and then I would have my parent's come the next day to pick it up but as I told him OK I'm buying the 1986 I will have my parents come pick it up with me and he said hold on a second and runs inside the dealership and comes back out and said here take the car home with you and of course I did which at first my parents where not happy with at all but after 10min and looking at the car they actually kinda laughed that I could ride my bike down to the dealership and bring back a car at 15 one thing I didn't mention was I had been going into that dealership for month's before looking at all the Mustangs which at the time they had 2 or 3 Black one's and I had talked to the same guy almost everytime. That's my story sorry so long.

The Widebody has the same body kit as the M81, but have not owned an actual M81 car yet. Someday!

Close! Throttle body injection was only on the automatic cars. 5 speed 1985 5.0 cars still used a traditional carburetor

Nor sure which brochure you're looking at but it is listed in the middle of the options table on page 17 of the 08/87 brochure. There were over 4600 made for model year 1988. They were not leftover 87 models. That is not how production works.

@FoxChassis I'll be damned, it is there. Just looked at my own '88 brochure from 8/87 lol. Still, less than 5,000 out of over 200,000 produced is about a little over a 2% share, so it is relatively rare.

What color? I have an 88 t top and a 87 t top. Love them!

Wow, no way - great story! What color was your Dominator? We currently have one of the 6 Anniversary Dominator GTs as well that we've had the matching #s 302 rebuilt for. It may be for sale soon.

No way! We're restoring a 70 Boss 302 that's originally Competition Gold with white interior. Going back to stock with it.

There are a couple of twisters that were turned into Predators when they were new. So there are cars that are in both registries!

Bone stock., Body kit, brakes and suspension.

No brake upgrades before 87

The side you see here is 30Wx40D. There's another half of the shop, what we call the "dirty" side where we work, that's a mirror of this side.

Truly is an awful buzz, but a great car!

Yes, these are the ford M81 style. I agree!

I almost bought one of the capris in the summer of 86 and I can’t remember if it was an 85 or 86 car but it was absolutely gorgeous! I’ll never forget the test drive and the salesmen trying to tell me that it was too much car for me at the time which I proved him wrong. I got talked out of buying it and I regret it to this day!!

Very cool! A white one if my notes are correct?

I agree

The engines on these are all stock internals. Summit Ford, who made the Dominators, actually got in trouble with the EPA in 1983 for doing head/cam work on them. It wasn't until the Saleen SSC that one of the smaller companies got EPA clearance to modify the engines again in a way that affected emissions stuff. Neat history.

1985 Predator serial #150 (5S0150) 12 R models made in 85
