                              it's not even that nice from sitting

Personally I would drop the reserve, take the money and run.

No it's not as nice as it should look.  It looks like 872 miles and a LOT of sitting dormant without much attention.

Good example of how NOT to take photos.  It's dirty.  It's wet.  The interior isn't spotless.  The paint doesn't pop.   That car would benefit from a professional detail job. 

No way to tell if the bids are real, or just pimped up.

Thank God for shill bidders!

I am listing my fathers 1982 ford mustang gt. He has owned the car since new. He bought it from the show room floor at Beasley Ford in york pa. He drove the car for 6 months then lost his license.  About 2 months ago he decided it was time to let it go and unfortunately I don't have the money to buy it. So here it is on ebay.

Some father eh?  If I were in his shoes and my kid wanted the car.  Wouldn't even think twice...

[1974dodgecharger]

[6spd68]

[petercharger]

Just crazy

Just crazy

That family bought their own car.  We'll see it again soon...

The passing of time has made that generation of Mustang appear even uglier.

I MIGHT be able to see a '91-'93 5.0 LX or a GT in similar shape cause some people to go bonkers, as solid examples of those cars are hard to find these days, but that particular generation of Mustangs don't really grab anyone's attention...

You can do some stuff with the old fox body but for $21,000... Not a good place to start.

Oh for sure.  I don't see the most pristine, let's say: 1991 5.0 LX going for more than $15K, and I'm sure that's even stretching/pushing it.  Then again, who knows what people are willing to pay for these days?

The 4-eyed Fords have an odd little following.  Be it the 4 eyed Mustangs, Thunderbirds or Cougars, there are groups of people that absolutely love'em.  The 82 has the best front end of that style IMO, but if I had to take a fox Mustang I'd go 87 as they're the last year for emissions exempt.

For me though, there's no question I like how Fox Thunderbirds look a lot better in comparison.  Hence why I've owned 4, and 0 Mustangs.  Plus the Mustang is really just another 'ME TOO!' car.  Why not be more unique with more style?  Just look at the differences, and try to tell me the Thunderbird doesn't look better...

[Aero426]

I owned this '85 GT for almost 20 years.   Had a lot of fun and did quite a few track days with it.    If I had to have another, it would be a 91-93 fuel injected car.

Another over-priced 4-eyed fox

that t-bird needs a set of Welds on it.

Those original TRX wheels and tires are worth a lot more.

I never thought the Fox body Mustang looked like a performance car. It looked like a glorified Ford Escort. At least GM's pony cars of the day looked nothing like a Cavalier. The Firebird especially looked like a performance car (which is why it was such a good fit in the show Knight Rider).

The seats......







remind me of this......

That's actually why I like it; it's an "understated," almost sleeper car, which is good on some days when I'm not in the mood for the drama that comes from driving a GM F body or the Charger...

[1974dodgecharger]

this day and age every car is a sleeper its like having a all black car now everyone is doing it, nothing new.

Which is funny considering a bone stock Mustang out performed bone stock F-bodies.

And so I've just lit a new fire

Fox body mustangs carry a certain amount of everybody wants to run you because of their rep drama.
Kinda like the 426 hemi. You get outrun in a hemi by a wedge and that hurts, but let a hemi outrun a wedge and everybody kinda just expects it...
Fox body's are kinda expected to tun like hell and there for a while, they were the benchmark to which all others were measured.
At least that's how it was when I had the white car on the street.

I can vouch for this.

Back in the day had a bone stock GTA TA 350 TPI with 3.42 gears. Wouldn't pull that hat off your head.
Traded for a 89 mustang Gt 5 speed with 3.55 gears, set of shorty headers and exhaust. Was like getting into a race car compared to that 350 TPI gm. Not to mention those era gm's you had to lay down to drive it.

All that said though from 79-86 only fox i liked was the pace car. 87-93 I will always have a soft spot for. This 82  gt yuk

I like understated cars, but when I think of understated, I think of something like a '68 or '69 Satellite / Road Runner. The problem I have with the Fox body Mustang bodystyle is not that it is understated, it is that it looks a lot like a glorified Escort (similar to the Mustang II looking a lot like a Pinto; in that case it pretty much was a Pinto in reality, so that's even worse). Not all of the Fox body Mustangs were even understated; the GTs weren't, yet they still looked like a glorified Escort, albeit a glorified Escort GT.
