2 Owner 84 Mustang LX Conv. ( Non - RBV )

[WNY964x4]

well me and my stepdad picked up a 1984 Mustang LX Convertible at the auction , we were gonna sell it but now decided to keep it. The car has had 2 owners , the second purchased it in 1986. The car has 66k original miles , 3.8L V6 (may not last much longer that way ) , and an automatic , the body is immaculate , enjoy

sorry for the crappy cell phone pics

I remember those - any Mustang convertible is cool.

That dashboard is such a classic. The 1978 Fairmont/Zephyr, the 1979 Mustang/Capri, the 1981 Granada; all were based on that same basic design (different-shaped instrument clusters, though). I think the '83-'88 Ranger used the same vertical vents.

the reason i was trying to convince my stepdad to keep it ( he had not told me we were keeping it yet ) was because i had a 92 Mustang Convertible and i loved it

i smell a 5.0 conversion in the mix

 

[WNY964x4]

possibly 5.0 with GT40 Heads , Edelbrock intake , Holley 4-Barrel ( still a carb'd car ) and possibly an RV/Marine 351 cam , if i can find the parts

if you notice in the pics , the driver side low beam looks dark , that is because it is half filled with water !!!!!!!!!! replaced it today with a new one and all my lights work now , probably gonna bo an oil change next weekend as it is way overfull , and change the tranny fluid and filter as the tranny fluid looks disgusting

how much did you pay for that at an "auction"?

 

[WNY964x4]

It was at the dealer auction we go to , and we paid $1000

Welcome to the Four Eyed club my friend. I have an 85 GT.

Hello

I have an 88 5.0l 5 speed with mass air. Your car would be a perfect shell for my motor. Some day I will do this conversion but the B2 comes first.

Have fun.

Be different!! It already has the 3.8 in it. So look for a T-Bird Super Coupe, take the super charged V6 out of it and if you are lucky it may have the 5 speed behind it. That would be the build I would like to see.

the supercoupe motor is badass, pushed by buddies bird up to 130 with more left!

well i response to the statements about the auto or stick and the V8 , for now it is going to stay as originally built , i have my ranger i am sinking my funding into for now , this is just a late spring to early fall cruiser , better on fuel than either of my trucks , and i love driving with the top down

and explorin , thanks for the welcome , she aint my first drop top stang , but my first of that era (79-86) , and i never thought of the supercoupe engine , now you got the wheels turning in my mind
