1-OWNER (FAMILY) ALL-ORIGINAL, NEVER WRECKED ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET!!! THIS MUST BE THE MOST ORIGINAL 1987 MUSTANG GT ON THE MARKET, AT LEAST THAT'S NOT A TRAILER QUEEN IN BUBBLE WRAP! MY IN-LAWS BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW FOR MY SISTER-IN-LAW WHEN SHE WENT TO COLLEGE. ALWAYS A "GIRL CAR", NEVER SMOKED IN, NEVER HIT OR WRECKED, NEVER MODIFIED, NEVER RACED. THE CAR SAT IN THE GARAGE FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS, WHICH HELPS EXPLAIN THE LOW (FOR 1987) MILES, 161,000 ORIGINAL MILES. THE CAR RECEIVED A REPAINT, AT FACTORY EXPENSE FOR SOME SCRATCHES THAT WERE CAUSED DURING DELIVERY TO THE DEALER IN OKLAHOMA. THE ENGINE HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE CAR OR TAKEN APART. THE PAPERWORK THAT GOES WITH THE CAR INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET, SEE PICTURES, RECEIPTS FOR THE MAJOR EXPENSES, INCLUDING A RECEIPT FROM 1988 FOR REPLACEMENT MUFFLERS. THE PAPER TRAIL ON THIS CAR IS WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH A ONE-FAMILY OWNED CAR! SHE SOLD ME THE CAR LAST SUMMER AND I GOT IT BACK ON THE ROAD. SHE WAS BEING BOMBARDED BY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO WANTED TO TURN IT INTO A DRAG CAR. AS THE OWNER OF MANY MUSTANGS OVER THE PAST 30+ YEARS, I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE SUCH AN ORIGINAL CAR SUFFER THAT FATE. THIS CAR HAS NO RUST, IT NEVER LIVED IN A NORTHERN STATE. NO PATCHES, NO BUBBLES, NO RUST. GETTING THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD REQUIRED NEW: NEW GAS TANK NEW FUEL PUMP NEW SENDING UNIT NEW SHOCKS TO HOLD UP THE HATCHBACK NEW HEADLIGHT UNITS (NO YELLOW LIGHTS HERE!) NEW HORN ASSEMBLY NEW TURN SIGNAL SWITCH NEW BATTERY NEW DOOR HANDLE ALSO: TRANSMISSION REBUILT IN JANUARY 2010 ($1,600.00) NEW AIR-CONDITIONING PARTS (BLOWS COLD, COLD AIR) ($800.00+) COMPLETE BRAKE JOB ($300.00+) I AM SURE I HAVE MISSED SOME OF THE NEW PARTS AND COSTS INVOLVED, AND IF SO, WILL ADD THEM DURING THE AUCTION. THE ONLY THING THAT IS NOT ORIGINAL ON THIS CAR IS THE WINDOW TINT. EASY ENOUGH TO REMOVE IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT. AS WITH MANY OF THESE CARS, THERE ARE TYPICAL THINGS THAT DON'T WORK. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T WORK. THE MAP LIGHT DOESN'T WORK (I TRIED A NEW BULB) THE CONSOLE COVER DOOR SPRING IS SPRUNG. THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT SHAPE, ESPECIALLY FOR A 1987 VEHICLE. THERE ARE NO BURNS OR TEARS. THE PLASTIC DOOR SILL PARTS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ARE BROKEN, WHICH IS CAPTURED IN ONE OF THE PICTURES. THERE ARE A FEW DENTS ON THE ROOF AND HOOD THAT ARE CAPTURED NEXT TO A QUARTER TO SHOW THE ACTUAL SIZE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CAUSED THESE DENTS, BUT I THINK SOMETHING IN THE GARAGE MUST HAVE BEEN DROPPED ON THE CAR. ITS NOT SIGNIFICANT UNLESS YOU'RE BUILDING A 100-POINT CAR. THIS IS A VERY NICE DRIVER. THE TIRES HAVE HALF OR MORE OF THE TREAD REMAINING AND ARE NEWER (NOT FROM 9 YEARS AGO). THE CAR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL "TURBINE" WHEELS. THIS CAR IS VERY DEPENDABLE. YOU COULD FLY TO TULSA AND DRIVE THIS CAR TO EITHER COAST WITH COLD AIR BLOWING ALL THE WAY. AND GET OVER 20 MPG ON THE WAY! OKLAHOMA NO LONGER REQUIRES ANNUAL VEHICLE INSPECTIONS, BUT THE PICTURE OF THE WINDOW STICKER SHOWS IT WAS INSPECTED WITH AN "EXPIRATION" DATE OF SEPTEMBER 2000. YOU DON'T SEE THESE STICKERS ON CARS ANYMORE, IT JUST ADDS TO THE ORIGINALITY. I HAVE SOLD MANY CARS ON EBAY, MOSTLY FIRST GENERATION MUSTANGS. THIS IS THE FIRST FOX-BODY I'VE HAD, AND CAN SAY WITHOUT HESITATION, IT IS A SOLID, DEPENDABLE CAR. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN ORIGINAL CAR FOR A NICE DRIVER, OR A RESTORATION, THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR! A NICE CAR THAT DOESN'T NEED A LOT OF EXPENSIVE WORK. ALL THE EXPERTS AGREE--BUY THE BEST CONDITION CAR YOU CAN FIND AND AFFORD. HERE IT IS. HERE IT IS. HERE IT IS. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BUILD A DRAG CAR, WELL, JUST DON'T SEND ME PICTURES OF THE "AFTER" SHOTS. THE TITLE IS CLEAR AND IN-HAND. NO EXCUSES. ADULT OWNED AND OFFERED. IF THE CAR ISN'T WHAT YOU EXPECTED, JUST WALK AWAY. I BELIEVE YOU WILL FIND IT TO BE BETTER THAN I HAVE DESCRIBED, FLAWS AND ALL. PLEASE NO TIRE-KICKERS, NO HAGGLERS, NO INSULTS. IF YOU WANT A $3K MUSTANG TO CHOP UP OR RACE, THIS ISN'T IT, PLEASE KEEP LOOKING ELSEWHERE. I AM DOING MY BEST TO ACCURATELY DESCRIBE THE CAR, MY FEEDBACK IS 100% AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY WITH THIS CAR. AS HARD AS IT IS TO IMAGINE, IT IS 2010 AND YOU JUST DON'T SEE THESE 80'S MUSTANGS THAT DON'T HAVE BIG TIRES AND ALL SORTS OF MODIFICATIONS. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS NO WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
