Barn Find 1982 Mustang GT

This barn find in Spruce Pine NC. 1982 Ford Mustang GT 1 owner the body is in amazing condition. The Interior needs some love but it's all original.
Not sure what the plan is yet. Fix it and sell it, fix it and keep it, or sell it as is.
Stay tuned I will post updates as we do anything. #ford #mustang #mustanggt #foxbody #foxbodymustang
I'm not a videographer but I hope you enjoy this amazing barn find.

I own a 82 Capri RS 5.0 since new. Local Mercury dealer in the showroom. Driven daily for 42 years... never will be stuffed in a barn if I can help it! Upgrade to a T-5 trans, aluminum driveshaft, 93 GT 8.8 axle with 3:55 gear set. Bigger 93 GT brakes and spindles with coilover conversion kit. 17x8/9 classic gold mesh wheels and engine untouched... 371k miles. Not for sale! Been offered $15k thus far.

[@brynjhnsn100]

Very nice survivor! Keep her original and she will skyrocket in value. Notice how many people asking to buy it as is? I got an ‘85 with 37k original miles and 9/10 overall condition. Replaced the Holley carburetor with Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 EFI. Kept all the original parts tho. Carb kept flooding itself. Those virgin fox bodies are few and far between. Shes a keeper for sure.

I was surprised how many people have asked to buy it.

These are cool cars. But it seems people either love or hate them

[@BrandonKnight-il9xs]

I have a 88 hatch now with a 331scat stroker i built from the factory block, it had 256k miles b4 i built it a year ago, got about 3k miles on it now, its been a challenge becouse o kept it fuel injection, has a systemax intake but ive always liked that clip, i had a 86gt in high school i crashed once and i come close to putting a 82 nose cone on it to fix the damage but in the end went back original ​@brandonchristy3096

@brandonchristy3096 make sure you be real careful of the rear tail lights.....mega bucks an unobtainium. Same goes with all the window chrome. Don't throw anything away

[@brandonchristy3096]

@@StageShout thanks for that advice. I've been trying to be really careful because I'm not sure how easy it will be to replace

[@StageShout]

@@brandonchristy3096 Keep everything. Very little can be replaced. Just have the front driver's seat repaired at the seam. Those seats are ultra rare.

Didnt those 10 holes come out in 85?

[@brandonchristy3096]

We think it's had some upgrades

[@wjtinatl]

Yep. 82 would have had the optional 3 spoke TRX specific wheels or the standard aluminum wheels with the square pockets around the perimeter

[@RoadHeros610]

After seeing the back lights it is an 82 .. with some upgrades with the wheels and paint scheme

Did someone paint match the sail panels to the body color? Shouldn't those be flat black?

[@brandonchristy3096]

It appears the entire vehicle was repainted at some point in the past we couldn't tell that for all the dirt on it when we looked at it.

[@ProjectFairmont]

They need a lot of work to bring them to proper spec IMO, been there. Front spindles/brakes, diff, SROD. However, it has the look and early Fox body details that make it worth it.

[@brandonchristy3096]

Yeah hopefully we didn't bite off more than we can chew.

I am the original owner of an 82 GT. Let me know if you decide to sell it as is.

2 barrel carb, old 4 speed and 157 hp, the Mustang wasnt fully back til 1983….5 speed, Holly 4 barrel and 175 hp. 1982 was just a lot of plastic glued on.

Usually they talk to original owner and get some history on the car but talk about the car and not just look around and zooming in and out and only hear some people talking in the background about non important stuff unless its about this car

[@brandonchristy3096]

Thanks for the tip I will work on that on the next one.

Actually, this 1982 GT represented Detroit's revival of the performance car. This 5.0 Mustang initiated the rebirth of what we still enjoy to this day. A V8 performance car. Peak malaise would have been 1975 to 1981.
