    1987 Mustang Gt -- Slow Start, Gas Gauge Wanders -- Possible Ground?

    Hello everyone. I havent had this Mustang very long and I am noticing some issues with starting after it sits for a few minutes. First off, the timing has been set at 10 degrees. The car starts fine when cold. If I drive it for 10 minutes or so, shut it off and start it up after a couple...

    Thanks. I did find a spot up front that showed it was wrecked. It is in the fender apron. That is not good. That might explain why the nose doesnt line up perfectly. The headlights are off a little as well. I will be buying new headlights soon and will see if I can make an adjustments then.

    Just Bought -- 1987 Mustang Gt Convertible 105k Miles

    Thanks! I was a little concerned when looking the car over. I am looking at a $2000 car and yet I am still picky. I see rotted belt molding here, a quarter window that doesnt move well, and little things. A couple burned out bulbs.. Then I remember how old this car is and think to myself...

    Just Bought -- 1987 Mustang Gt Convertible 105k Miles

    Its been a while since I have been active on this forum. I used to own a 94 GT that I dropped in a 351w EFI. I sold the car a year and a half ago and missed it dearly. I found this Mustang and paid $2,000 for it. It needs some work to it but the structure is very clean. Has no rust...

    1987 Gt -- Gauge Cluster Showing Green At Night

    Just curious if anyone has come across this issue and what it could be. I am seeing green bleeding through the cluster at night. It shows up over the tach & left side gauges. Its almost like there is too much light trying to shine through the back side of the gauge.

    1987 Mustang Gt Convertible - Is It Worth It??

    Just wanted to let you guys know that I ended up purchasing the car today. It has a few things that I need to sort out but I think overall it is a very clean car. The underside is absolutely spotless! Tomorrow I will start a new thread and post some new pictures.

    1987 Mustang Gt Convertible - Is It Worth It??

    I told the guy that I will go down tomorrow after work to look at it again. I am hoping that it is not raining again and I have more time to look it over. As previously mentioned, I couldnt believe how well it idled. The engine itself was pretty quiet. I did notice the valve covers were...

    1987 Mustang Gt Convertible - Is It Worth It??

    Given that the underside is rust free, and the body is straight and rust free, do you think this car has potential?

    1987 Mustang Gt Convertible - Is It Worth It??

    I should not have phrased it as 'tonight'. It was during the day. I looked at it around 3 pm. I believe with a few things fixed, this car could be worth more. When you replace these seat covers that 50resto sells, does it go over the existing foam?

    1987 Mustang Gt Convertible - Is It Worth It??

    Went and looked at it tonight. Problem is that it started raining cats and dogs and I wasn't able to spend as much time as I would have liked to. First off, the tires were absolutely trashed. Which is why I did not drive it. The underside was extremely clean. When I say clean, I mean no...

    1987 Mustang Gt Convertible - Is It Worth It??

    I found an 87 GT Convertible for sale. It is black with grey leather. It has 105,000 miles on it. 5 speed. There is no rust on the body but does have some paint fading on the passenger door. The top was replaced 3 years ago. It has new shocks, new water pump, MSD wires. It appears to be...

    Project: Swapping 94 Gt drivetrain to 1999 V6 Vert chassis

    Ok, now I understand regarding the harness. Last night when reading this I forgot that the driver side had the quarter window controls and not passenger. I can see where you were thrown off. The k-member would add cost. Did you ever have any issues with the keyless entry? Did you end up...

    Project: Swapping 94 Gt drivetrain to 1999 V6 Vert chassis

    I must say, very inspiring. I own a 94 GT but have swapped in a 351w. I have owned it since 98. My wife would like a convertible and I have contemplated doing this swap. I know I can do it. My wife had a 93 SHO that she rolled and I just couldnt let it go so I found a 94 Taurus (same color)...
