1985 Stang GT Front end and center console swap! Help!

Its starting to get really irritating that people buy 4eyed mustangs and swap a aero nose on it. Seriously.. Dont buy the damn car if you dont want to keep it as it is. Probably 50% of 4 eyed mustangs have been swapped over. Atleast our cars are going up in value everytime someone converts one. I dont really like the look of my 4eyed mustang much but i would never butcher it.
Do it if you prefer the 87-93 "aero" style, it's your car. Keep the original parts, so it can be converted back someday, if you wanted to. Screw the purists, if it's what you want out of your ownership experience. When their name is on the title, they're welcome to do whatever they want to the car.

I guess the real question is this. What advantage is a 4 eyed converted ride over a 87-93? If you want Carb just convert the 87-93 but there again what advantage is gained?

What I would do, is find someone on here who loves the 4 eye cars and trade with them? You said you didn't want a vert, and you might find someone who will trade you an aero nose hatch or coupe for your 4 eye vert.

First off I am partial to the 85 GT having owned one, and wouldn't change a thing. Yeah the 87 GT's were a hot car but the 85 is a classic. If you're curious about this car try this site: 1985 Mustang GT . Try restoring it to like-new condition before making any drastic changes. Done right this car has much more potential than an 87-93 GT. The 87-93 GT's were a dime a dozen, the 85 GT is and was rare. Just my .02 cents.

Well said!
I like 4 eyed cars too and if it has all the parts then please leave it that way.
To others. Whats so special about an 85? It was identical to the 86 without the third brake light and the difference from an 84 was just the grill. So what makes an 85 so special?

Last year for carb, first year for roller lifters, fastest of the carbed foxes, first year for bangin seats with red piping, first year for dual tailpipes, the whole 85 package is a great one, and it would suck to turn a great car into a wanna be.
Not sure where the OP went to, maybe he got flamed into selling his car and getting out of Mustangs all together. Oh well, another 4 eye to be grabbed by someone who appreciates it.
Mabey, mabey not. His other thread was how to convert his CFI to carbI believe he was a troll.
Also wants to swap his AOD out as well. Was a CFI 85 a roller motor?

No, but the block was fortified to accept roller lifters.
