Bought this 86 GT with the intention of restoring it.
Condition: Both doors are rusted at the bottom welds and are weak in spots. The listing will include replacement doors. The replacements are blue and rust free. The original doors are hand crank windows while the replacements had electronic controls. The motors have been removed and are not included. I bought them that way and was informed that the hand crank mechanisms are able to be transferred.
The hatch is rusted through under the spoiler. The listing will include a replacement hatch as well. Blue in color, rust free.
A new set of locks with keys included so that the keys will match.
The rest of the body is in decent condition.
The 5.0 runs great and starts quickly. Transmission shifts flawlessly.
Tires will need to be replaced as they are worn and the rear two do not hold air for long.
At this time I would not deem the vehicle road worthy as the brakes are weak. Will do what I can to cooperate with any shipping company of your choosing.

Both doors are in similar condition as well as the hatch.

2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid recalled over lack of roof padding
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Ford is recalling 33,021 units of its 2013 C-Max Hybrid not equipped with optional panoramic roof panels. During testing, the model in question returned testing results for occupant head injuries that fell outside of criteria laid out in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The issue puts occupants at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash if they are in an affected car.
The recall will begin August 19, at which time C-Max Hybrid owners can take their cars to dealers to have energy-absorbent material installed between the headliner and roof. The bulletin below from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has more information.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
