I just bought an 87 Mustang GT.....my stepdad was saying that the years from 85-89 (around that time) ...were the worst years for the Mustangs...something like they had the most electrical problems etc. Not that it matters now because the car I bought is pretty much all rebuilt (except for the body) and made from pieces of a bunch of different Mustangs (as though it seems).

It'd be nice to have someone who is very knowledgeable about Mustangs, take a look at my car. I'm starting to think that it was originally an automatic and was converted to a 5-speed. (Because it's a convertible and I know they didn't make too many convertibles with manual transmissions because of the body flex (or so someone said).

Anyone who is knowledgeable about this car PLEASE reply because I would be interested in knowing so I don't fuck the facts up.

PS: The car in my sig isn't mine. Mine's blue.

I've had mustangs from 84 to 95 and the worst one i've ever had any problems with was the 95 computer didn't really like to work with performance upgrades (heads,cam,intake,nitrous)
as long as your car is already upgraded to mass air, and you have the right computer, you probably won't have any problems unless it was made from a pieced together wiring harness from different years.............(I've had about 19 mustangs)

maby i'm wrong but doesn't it require power, and traction before you can have body flex....... or maby an accident these are things I can think of with a stock mustang

Mars, wasnt it in 85 I think, are you refering to the swap from the E6 to the E7TE heads? Whichever, but no, your car should be fine. Other than if the car was put together with peices of a harness. And my first GT was in 1993 which was a convertible and had the T5 in it. But, they arent as rare as you think.

Sometimes you can have problems with the actual connection at some of the plugs, but I certainly wouldn't say those cars were known for electrical problems. 5 speed convertibles are actually pretty common, so there is a good chance it is original. What makes you think the car was pieced together?

Har har ! That's me,,,,but the backseat has no problems ironically!

Anywho- in response to BigbadBuick- When you lift the hood, the fenders (on the very inside) used to be red it seems like because some spray paint is visible.....the steering wheel I believe is off an 86 mustang.
There are many other things too...but I don't know much about these cars just yet so I would rather just let someone very knowledgable look at it and tell me the TRUTH.

Mx-4u2nv- I think the car may have been in accident but none that were reported to any place that Carfax checks...
