When I was 16 (1994) working at the local Ace Hardware, one of my coworkers (Also 16) was able to use his Dad's 1982 Mustang to get to work. Just like this one, but I think it had T Tops. He would roast the tires every night when he left. All the way through third gear in the parking lot. It was a long strip mall. I can't believe he never got hassled by anyone. He'd hit 60-70mph every nice summer night. I've been hooked on Fox Mustangs ever since.
The finished appearance of this GT is outstanding. Possibly the best early Foxbody I have seen. The coyote under the hood has the overstuffed vibe of a Boss 429. And credit to your wife for the wheel choice which really works on this car. A+
Nice! I had the same year and color back in high school. Had centerline rims. I agree with the louvers. I'm not a big fan of them, even back in the day, but they fit with the car well today. Thanks for bringing new life to a classic pony! Don't ever sell it. You'll just regret it!
Your story of your Mustang is petty close to mine. I still have my first Mustang one to being an 82 Mustang GT, also black. I was only 16 1/2 years old and first year in High School, which my father bought me the car. Since then I still have it looking too looking nice and have had 4 Mustang GT's in total to this day also all in black. Like you said the first one holds good memories of our youth years now being 53 years old. Beautiful car you have, enjoy.
That 82 is Way Out Of Bounds ! Had an old 4 owner used one back in the day ! Black club foot ! 4 sp 302 2 barl! Rusted out had kids, blown head gasket sold it ! Had an 83 Silver 4 sp Brand new HO 4 Barl with those louvers on it NICE !!! Have a 2019 gt premium convertible Silver now, looking at a full boat 23 Mach 1 fighter jet gray ! Might have to start looking for an 82 to rebuild ! GREAT JOB LOVE IT !!!
Like the video. Myself i have a Mustang 🐎 gl that sat for 10 years in my family's garage. Glad to say i finally got it up & running again. But, recently i accidentally dropped a wrench that lodged between the alternator and valve cover...The ignition solenoid went up in smoke & thought i had fried the starter. I haven't yet figured out just what i fried, but hope to get it back on the road soon
When I had my 82 GT, I debated ditching the louvres but never did, it just looked right for the era even though it didn't have the same look as the belly-button 87-93 hatchbacks that everyone else had. I'm glad you kept them.
Love the story. I’ve held on to my first car 84 black GT which I bought when I was 16 too. Thanks for the inspiration and I hope I can do something similar in the future. Love it.
I love the 4 eyes, love the louvers... not a fan of the plastic behind the quarter glass. It kills it for me on 9/10 early fox's but on this one they look in place with the louvers in my opinion. The car is fantastic in every way.
louvers are a must on these foxbodys,i wonder if the floor pan was still in tact...where the seates bolted to the floor on my 83 gt,i started to see cracks,and i drilled an 1/8 in hole at the end of the crack to stop the crack from progressing across the trans hump.
Can you do a video to show how you did the swap please? I am trying to swap a gen 3 coyote into my 1982 mustang gt because the motor is locked up and i dont know how to wire it because it is an older car.🙏🙏
I am an original owner of an 82 gt that I have owned since I was 17, and I am 58 now. I would like to know if the owner of that 82 gt would be interested in selling any of the parts he took off the car like the original tail lights etc.
Beautiful car. I may have missed it, but didn't see anything pertaining to the newer taillight treatment. The '82 had the same taillights as '79-81. Was the car rear ended at one point, or was it a simple style update?
It seems there’s a lot of parts on there that aren’t original to 82. Those are 85-86 gray interior seats. The dash panel is 84-86. The tails are 83-86. Still a nice car of course, just observations.
My Dad calls people he can’t remember their name Kevin always has and it’s just something funny. I wanted to be different and say something besides “What’s up guys” like everyone else. Nothing derogatory

That offset on the front is perfect, so many Fox’s front wheels look set to far back!!

That was one of my favorite cars at the events. Very cool.

Gorgeous build, man! That Coyote seems a big as a Boss429 motor! Soooo, cool!
I wish my parents would have bought me a Mustang when I was 16. I had to get a job and buy my own.
That’s a nice mustang love it brings back memories when I was younger.

Awesome 👏
Sweet ride and I love the welds 😎👍
man, that car looks amazing 🔥🔥🔥
That is a sharp Ride! You worked your butt off this weekend... go have you a cold one!
Appreciate it
This is a cool 82 GT. I like it !

Very frustrating that there's not more video of this car actually driving. Definitely want to hear it under load!
Glad to see to bro you were working your butt off out there.
Trying buddy! Good to see you and your son enjoying the event
This is an excellent build.
Sure is! Thanks for commenting

So clean!
If that car could talk bout him staging at a street light as a teenager = Awesome
I know that’s right! Thanks,
Killer car and awesome story. Love it
Thanks
The best looking fox body is the 82 gt front to back.
Can you do a video to show how you did the swap please? I am trying to swap a gen 3 coyote into my 1982 mustang gt because the motor is locked up and i dont know how to wire it because it is an older car.🙏🙏
Absolutely beautiful ride love it

Love your videos. I just saw this video and I love the Louvers. Do you know if these were from Ford? Do you know where he got them?
What size wheels and tires? I still have my 92 LX hatch.
Gorgeous car! Is that the original hatch spoiler/lip for that car?
Original color was silver/gray. Are those the original luvers?
Looks amazing!! What spoiler is that?
Correct spoiler for the year car, also on 79 pace car it’s a 3 piece spoiler
Awesome backstory and absolutely gorgeous Mustang👍🏽🍺👏
Beautiful car.
this car is fkin beautiful
I totally understand that domino effect
Love the 82 gt , slick
Sweet GT! Louvers are cool but where are the GTS headlight covers?lol

83 Taillights look good on 82 mustangs, it's more sleek
Could you and Eric build a 1979 z28 Camaro BETTER or similar hores power 530WRHP WITH A 6 SPEED
Beautiful car, just put the 82 tail lights back on it, keep the appearance of an 82 an 82.
85 Tail lights.
Great video Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them boties and the horns off them mopars
Thanks bud
Need red seats
What's up with the Kevin thing?
My Dad calls people he can’t remember their name Kevin always has and it’s just something funny. I wanted to be different and say something besides “What’s up guys” like everyone else. Nothing derogatory
Needs Black wheels. Make it sinister
A 358" nascar or 410" sprint car,,,
End of story
Holy cow….waaaaayyyyy too long on the wheels. We’ve all ordered wheels before, don’t need a diatribe on it.
Wrong taillights
Beautiful car
