What is a Mustang GLX

In this video, I drive my 1983 Mustang GLX, with only 44K original miles, and talk about the Mustang Foxbody GLX option.

A glx is on my bucket list. I love them.

[@dizma9904]

oncewaslost1982 have one now for my first car, under 100k miles and all original and looks new inside and paid $2000 for it. They’re really fun to drive and work on. Pain to find some convertible specific parts and everything but I don’t regret it at all

I have an 83 GLX Convertible in Midnight Blue has about 90K miles. It's not mint but it does still look really good. I think it's at an age where it's becoming unique to see them again because when I drive it it's like walking a puppy, EVERYONE talks to you, asks questions and takes pictures of it. We're having beautiful weather for winter so I took it out today topless and some man in a Bentley GT was gushing over it so I thought that was funny!

[@chasingmustangs]

My son likes me to take it out with the top down, everybody says nice car when they see. I rarely see Four Eyed Mustangs out in the wild. I mostly see 87 and newer Mustangs

I had to tell mine daughter everyone waves at Mustang convertibles.

I love this video. I also have a white/red 83 GLX convertible with the 3.8 V-6 and A/T. I've had it for just over 3 years. I get so much joy (and occasional aggravation) from it. It's nice to see someone else driving one.

[@chasingmustangs]

I am surprised how many talk to me, when I go to Foxbody club I am part of. Car is rare and even though it only has a V6, they like looking it over.

I also have a 1983 GLX GT which I just recently found out that it was not even $1100 of them made car have been sitting in the garage for over 9 years purchased it from the original owner fun car to drive I bought it had a little fun over the years was thinking about selling it good thing I didn't I never had such a low production number car before so I'm going to hang on to it and pass it on to my children

[@Wargasm54]

I had a GLX in the mid 80’s. Pretty cool it had the same motor as the GT but was supposedly lighter because it didn’t have the ground effects and body kit. I’m not a Mustang conisuer, but it was a pretty cool car. I’ve only owned 2 Fords in my 57 years on the planet. And both were really good cars. I’ve had more GM cars through my younger years. But I’ve driven mostly German cars since the late 90’s. I had a Trans Am GTA back in the day. And when a BMW M3 smoked me with 4 people in the car, I went to euro cars 😂. Mostly Mercedes AMG. I didn’t buy German cars when I was younger because I lived in Germany for 16 years and I saw them all the time and they were boring to me. But after that M3 ate my lunch, I reconsidered.

Great video very informative. I just bought a 1983 Mustang GLX 5.0 5 speed!

[@JDV5210]

How much$?

[@davieboy1970]

I just got an 83GLX 5.0. 5 speed convertible. It’s all in primer. very mint body and it’s been sitting for 12 years so I’m just working on getting it running convertible top looks like new.. the original color was like a darker blue

[@chasingmustangs]

A 5.0 model is very rare. Did you get it for a good deal?

[@paulbricklayer4491]

85 86 Gt best looking mustang ever made

[@robsin5072]

Love the videos I have a GLX same year as yours same color and drop top but with a 5.0 and 4 speed

[@chasingmustangs]

I wish my GLX had a 5.0, I low mileage 5.0 GLX get very expensive.

[@davidknight8003]

I also have a 5.0 glx 4 speed red with white interior and top

[@greens6935]

@@davidknight8003 I have the exact opposite, 83 glx 5.0 4 speed, polar white, black top, and red vinyl interior

[@davidknight8003]

@@greens6935you should post it

[@davidknight8003]

@@greens6935 a buddy of mine had that same year and color scheme, but his was a 4 cylinder

[@JDV5210]

I’ve got a black 83 5.0 Glx vert with a T5 manual transmission🤩 Any idea on how many of these came out of the factory? (Production number)

[@chasingmustangs]

Sorry, I don't have any idea. The GLX did not come with a manual transmission. So someone had to do a special order for the configuration. It will be rare, just don't know how rare.

[@NoodleDaddy]

can someone tell me if there was some 1984 mustang glx 5.0 convertibles made? i have one and cant find anything on it

[@chasingmustangs]

Technically Ford only made the GLX in 82 and 83. I have seen several cars for sale, saying they are GLXs in 1984 year. The only thing on my car staring the car is a GLX, is plastic emblem on the trunk. I have the original manual and it does not state GLX. ViN decoders don't help with early Musrangs either. I recommend finding the 1984 marketing material online and compare your car options against it. Mote than likely you have a LX with upgraded interior.

[@kalin6602]

Is it common for this vehicle to stall?

[@chasingmustangs]

Only when the engine is cold. Takes about 10 minutes to warm up. Plus it was cold outside. This car has a carburetor.

[@4DMovie]

@@chasingmustangs YES push petal thru it

[@deanmurphy4810]

So what is it?

[@chasingmustangs]

Its a Mustang designed to compete with the Chrysler LeBaron in the early 80's.
