I suspect that my Mustang is american, according to the papers is of Mexico and has a conversion, or the conversion is really well done or not have conversion and is american?
Some hard evidence to know this?

Mexican Mustangs are basically Capris with Mustang noses.

Does it look somewhat like this? Does it have fenders like this?






Pictures of your car would be helpful.

You sure about that? Looks like the opposite of a Mexistang - that coupe instead has a Capri nose/hood on a Mustang body, rather than a Mustang nose/hood on a Capri body.

Either way, not wild about the '82 GT scoop on top of the Capri hood...

fixted.


If you did convert it I have to give you props for putting the 87+ side mirrors on it. Most people dont and its always a instant giveaway for an areo conversion.

And what are those black strips on the headlights?

I didn't think any 87+ were produced for Mexican sales. I thought only the early 4-eye's were.


Looks A-spec to me.

The wheels are eh though
