    Thanks for the interesting video. I still have the ‘86 GT that I ordered from Dearborn a little over 37 years ago. Same color combination as your daughter’s, although it’s a 5 speed with the 3.08 rear axle ratio that was a no cost option over the standard 2.73. Power windows , AC, tinted glass and a sunroof were also ordered. At this point it’s accumulated a little over 9,000 miles since new and has never been subjected to any inclement weather spending most of it’s life covered and garaged.
    Everything, and I mean everything is original with the exception of all fluids, oil filters and it’s 4th battery. As pointed out in your video, age takes it’s toll regardless of mileage even under the best of storage conditions. Rear hatch lift struts being something I’ll also have to attend to soon. Again, thanks for the video and the best of luck on (new) ride! 👍🏻

      @@GearHead704 I got to drive these, irocs C4s brand new. Was a teen in the 80s. These were super good cars, very durable reliable etc. No squeaks rattles never broke down and I didnt baby mine.
      What id give to be able to afford another one in the same shape. Mine was stolen early 90s (Like those C4s and irocs all were GN too). Insurance wasnt affordable back then. For a clean record 19 yts old liability only 1000 deductible was almost 360 a month! Total loss.

    My first car was an 84 Mercury Capri. I remember the ignition switch feeling sloppy, then the car would shut off after cranking. When I pulled the cover off and found the ignition switch separating, I thought I could bend the pot metal tabs to tighten it. Snap! Drove the next day with a zip tie holding the mess together until I got a proper replacement. Also was my first experience using an easy out.

    The 86 Mustang came with a steel and rubber valve cover gasket, also the torque converter has a drain plug so you could do a full oil change on the AOD.

      No problem, just wanted to add, the torque converter drain plug is right next to one of the studs that go through the flex plate. So remove the inspection cover and rotate the converter until you see it.

    Very good video Matt, for a 37 year old car most of the problems are due to age, and due to sitting a lot. Some cars don't like to sit, as far as the AOD, i would do the fluild and filter change
    and wait about another 5k to 7k and repeat the fluid and filter change and then you should good for another 60-70 k .

      @@GearHead704 the seller unfortunately is giving those something doesn’t add up here vibes then I got the oh I’m gonna take it down and relist it because of the amount of interest I’ve had OK well if there is that much interest why do you still have it? I’m not bending over backwards for a V6, that’s for sure. Some of the prices people are asking are just absurd not every car is a low mile SSC worth 40 to 60 grand lol people seem to think they’re ragged out 87 with 160,000 miles on it with Amazon euro headlights is worth 20 grand, that being said, I’m confident if we just stick to it will find a clean one somewhere. Why I didn’t keep my 86 GT or 88 LX 5 L i just don’t know I remember turning down an 86 ASC McLaren Capri in 99 because I thought 2500 bucks was ridiculous for it 😂😂😂😂 Anyway stoked I found your channel man keep the videos coming. Cheers.

    It is a blast to see both Matts and Kristen doing foxbody stuff. Hopefully, Kristen can takeover or help you make videos, if she can keep up with chores and school. 😉

      We had fun making the video. She stays pretty busy with school, work, chores, and she's also in drama and dance, so we'll see how much extra time she has, but hopefully she gets to enjoy driving this car soon.

    Them Hellcats are mean and blister the tiree a lot, but don't cut them Foxbody's sny slack! Thay aren't super bad by todays standard, but they are light in weight and turn a pretty good quarter mile! I know, I have had an all original 87 GT hatchback for a long time. Love it, just put the first set of tires on it two years ago! No it isn't for sale!😊

      It did sit for 21 years. I found a lot of the inspection marks on it as well like the alternator, steering rack, and intake manifold. I think it's legit 50k, plus I trust Chris of TIP who I bought the car from.
