1984 Mustang LX 3.8 V6 convertible, EXCELLENT RUNNER!!! This was my project car since 2008 and it's time to move on to the next project. It has great running V6, recent paint (garage kept, never even waxed since paint) new Pirelli touring tires, recent top (no rips, tears, discoloration, with glass back window). 1989 grey GT seats with working power lumbar, working power windows, door locks, cruise control, console info center. Chrome valve covers, chrome air cleaner, new coil over rear shocks, single exhause with high flow cat and flowmaster muffler (nice quiet burble at idle).
Repro dash pad, console armrest. Working FACTORY am-fm stereo with factory optional "premium sound" amp, and new speakers. New quarter window seals, new dew wipes ("door window "fuzzies") Trunk, quarters, doors, fenders absolutely rust free. Small rust spot undfer drivers foot was repaired before new rugs were installed. Has new emblems, including modern Ford part V-6 emblems on hood scoop. Tilt wheel, cruise control work!
Correct factory part GT hood scoop installed in perfect factory mounting spots. Dealer installed trunk luggage rack with real wood strips (were sanded, stained and spar varnished). New battery (last month), new starter solenoid, all new (recent) hoses, belts etc. Brakes excellent. Runs cool with excellent oil pressure. Tons more stuff I've forgotten, but this car was done right.
A couple points: the non working AC was pulled when I installed a new heater core. I still have compressor etc, if you want it. Same with smog pump. Belts are the same; billet pulleys were installed. If the motor sits for a few days it taps for a FEW SECONDS until oil pressure comes up, then NO NOISE AT ALL after that. Note: there is some small rust directly below the brake fluid distribution fitting; however it's just sheet metal and I was assured by a Mustang specialist that it was no big deal; however it has been taken into account in the asking price. THIS IS A 29 year old car, so of course it has some quirks, but it's nice, driveable RIGHT NOW and just in time for summer, too! Clear NJ title in my name.
In case you're wondering also, I live 10 miles from the coast, we had NO WATER from Sandy (though we lost a tree in front of the house). I am sort of torn over selling this but I have a new project and need the garage space! Set of factory manuals and all the '84 spare parts I can find in my shed come with the car if you want them.

New car market raining on convertibles' parade
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Whether fitted with soft or hard folding lids, today's droptops are better than ever for year-round motoring. Advancements in power top mechanisms, sealing, aerodynamics, structural rigidity, rollover safety and creature comforts like heated and cooled seats mean that modern convertibles are more versatile and better to drive than ever before. Yet the segment's sales took a dive during the recession and haven't come back, Automotive News reports.
Part of that is because automakers are looking at today's more sensible buyers and simply not developing as many new models, and that lack of fresh iron is curbing sales. AN cites R.L. Polk data which notes that only about one percent of new vehicles registered in the US last year had tops that folded. Back in 2009, it was 1.4 percent, and it was 2 percent in 2006. All-in, some 151,636 convertibles were registered in 2012. That's more units more than were registered in each of the past three years, but the market has also grown as the economy has picked up speed, and as a percentage of new vehicles purchased, convertible sales are lagging.
Thus far in 2013, the Ford Mustang is America's top-selling convertible, with 6,421 units registered through the end of April, followed by its rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, at 4,751 units. The Volkswagen Beetle isn't far behind, with 4,305, but from that point, it's a steep drop off to the fourth-place Mercedes-Benz SL-Class and its 2,380 sales.
Why the Detroit Three should merge their engine operations
Tue, Dec 22 2015GM and FCA should consider a smaller merger that could still save them billions of dollars, and maybe lure Ford into the deal. Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne would love to see his company merge with General Motors. But GM's board of directors essentially told him to go pound sand. So now what? The boardroom battle started when Mr. Marchionne published a study called Confessions of a Capital Junkie. In it, Sergio detailed the amount of capital the auto industry wastes every year with duplicate investments. And he documented how other industries provide superior returns. He's right, of course. Other industries earn much better returns on their invested capital. And there's a danger that one day the investors will turn their backs on the auto industry and look to other business sectors where they can make more money. But even with powerful arguments Marchionne couldn't convince GM to take over FCA. And while that fight may now be over, GM and FCA should consider a smaller merger that could still save them billions of dollars, and maybe lure Ford into the deal. No doubt this suggestion will send purists into convulsions, but so be it. The Detroit Three should seriously consider merging their powertrain operations, even though that's a sacrilege in an industry that still considers the engine the "heart" of the car. These automakers have built up considerable brand equity in some of their engines. But the vast majority of American car buyers could not tell you what kind of engine they have under the hood. More importantly, most car buyers really don't care what kind of engine or transmission they have as long as it's reliable, durable, and efficient. Combining that production would give the Detroit Three the kind of scale that no one else could match. There are exceptions, of course. Hardcore enthusiasts care deeply about the powertrains in their cars. So do most diesel, plug-in, and hybrid owners. But all of them account for maybe 15 percent of the car-buying public. So that means about 85 percent of car buyers don't care where their engine and transmission came from, just as they don't know or care who supplied the steel, who made the headlamps, or who delivered the seats on a just-in-time basis. It's immaterial to them. And that presents the automakers with an opportunity to achieve a staggering level of manufacturing scale. In the NAFTA market alone, GM, Ford, and FCA will build nearly nine million engines and nine million transmissions this year.
