I dont know if this is my first car considering the Galaxie, which is in peices and hasnt run in 30 years, but I'll call it my first car. She's an '86 Mustang GT Hatchback with an 88 EFI 5.0 in it. It's got offroad pipes, and it sounds real good. It's been wrecked a while back, and they replaced the driver door and front panel. There is a little damage underneath but it hardly drifts. Here's some photos, not very good just taken real quickly. Im very proud of this car, and glad to be a mustang owner







and just to show ya'll the Galaxie...here she is, I've kinda started a little restoration, so far not much but put it on jackstands and torn off the front end.

Nice ride man. The paint scheme reminds me of a 79 pace car.

Awesome, I love the 86 GTs. The 4 lug cobra Rs do look horrible. Those cars look real nice with welds or turbine wheels. Good Luck with it!

I really dont know, the mileage reads 54,--- and the salesman said that that was the real mileage and that it hadn't rolled over. His reasoning for that was the seats look brand new, they're the Recaro(i think thats how its spelled) seats. There's build up under the car, which at first we thought was age, but the Power steering is leaking. I dont know if the 54,--- is body mileage or engine. The car is not in Ponca City, which is where i live, so i cant check the exact mileage, its in southern oklahoma.
Once again, thanks for all the feedback! And im glad everyone agrees on the wheels, they'd look nicer if it had bigger brakes behind it, but the stock ones look better.

you should go on carfax and check it out... that should tell you wether it was rolled over or not for sure. I love the car dude. I wish you all the luck with it. Make sure that you keep us posted on future mods.

sweet! I'd love an 86 GT and that price doesn't seem to bad either.

That pretty much describes the seats, someone said they are Recaro seats. It's got the stock Weld-looking wheels on it now, i didnt like the R's

heres a link to a pic of the Mustang since i noticed it wasn't loadin right.
hope that works!

Here's a pic of the 302

Right now the car is in south oklahoma, and i live in north oklahama. We are going to south OK pretty soon. I'll get some better pics sometime. I'm eager to get it here, but it needs small work to be road ready, mainly power steering, because its leaking.
