Thanks for the interesting video. I still have the ‘86 GT that I ordered from Dearborn a little over 37 years ago. Same color combination as your daughter’s, although it’s a 5 speed with the 3.08 rear axle ratio that was a no cost option over the standard 2.73. Power windows , AC, tinted glass and a sunroof were also ordered. At this point it’s accumulated a little over 9,000 miles since new and has never been subjected to any inclement weather spending most of it’s life covered and garaged. Everything, and I mean everything is original with the exception of all fluids, oil filters and it’s 4th battery. As pointed out in your video, age takes it’s toll regardless of mileage even under the best of storage conditions. Rear hatch lift struts being something I’ll also have to attend to soon. Again, thanks for the video and the best of luck on (new) ride! 👍🏻
All respect How about how Matt says oh that's easy oh that's easy There is nothing easy About working😂, All respect beautiful rod Sweet rod all respect You know you got my dream car God bless you all
My first car was an 84 Mercury Capri. I remember the ignition switch feeling sloppy, then the car would shut off after cranking. When I pulled the cover off and found the ignition switch separating, I thought I could bend the pot metal tabs to tighten it. Snap! Drove the next day with a zip tie holding the mess together until I got a proper replacement. Also was my first experience using an easy out.
@@GearHead704 I got to drive these, irocs C4s brand new. Was a teen in the 80s. These were super good cars, very durable reliable etc. No squeaks rattles never broke down and I didnt baby mine. What id give to be able to afford another one in the same shape. Mine was stolen early 90s (Like those C4s and irocs all were GN too). Insurance wasnt affordable back then. For a clean record 19 yts old liability only 1000 deductible was almost 360 a month! Total loss.
The 86 Mustang came with a steel and rubber valve cover gasket, also the torque converter has a drain plug so you could do a full oil change on the AOD.
No problem, just wanted to add, the torque converter drain plug is right next to one of the studs that go through the flex plate. So remove the inspection cover and rotate the converter until you see it.
I like the Cobra wheels on it, check the clutch auto adjuster under the dash if it has a cable clutch and check the connector on the headlite switch connector
Greetings Matt!! It's been too long! It's awesome that you are passing the Fox fever to the next generation. I hope y'all grow closer doing this project, and that she enjoys the car for years to come! You haven't lost your touch, great video as always. It's good to get to interact with you again!
First time watching one of your videos, now I'm hooked!! Such a thorough inspection, and the knowledge is crazy good. Looking forward to learning "stuff" from your channel. (I should move from California to NC?)
Very good video Matt, for a 37 year old car most of the problems are due to age, and due to sitting a lot. Some cars don't like to sit, as far as the AOD, i would do the fluild and filter change and wait about another 5k to 7k and repeat the fluid and filter change and then you should good for another 60-70 k .
Hi Paul! Yeah I can't really complain about it, as it's a solid car and in much better shape than my SSP was. It'll be cool to see how long this automatic makes it.
I like your channel. Some great info on foxes, which I am wanting to get. I’m from an older age (69) but the more I see the more I love them. There’s so much you can do to one. And they are light.
Okay, it's a great looking Foxbody. I even like to look at mustangs when they are up on the lift. The bunch of you all will have the car in tip top shape so fast 😁
I USE HYDRAULIC FLUID WET BREAK TYPE bobcat type IN MY POWER STEERING Works GREAT and based that decision off reading about the fluid and all so use it in my 4l60e and old automatics 3 speed od type .i know may sound dumb until one looks at the flash point and fluid break down is at a higher threshold that the top self fluid i was looking at + its an old school racers trick but i vetted it
@@GearHead704 they are going to do an inspection soon. Feel free to treat it like it’s your own car for any videos you want to do 😂. Maybe I’ll swing the ice cream truck by one Saturday
Definitely took your daughter's car to the right place. I can't wait to see what all you have done. That interior is so nice. Doesn't look like a 50K interior, and it even smells new you said. The body and paint are great as well. I really like the black on the hood and how it says GT. I hope your daughter knows what a cool car she has. I know she appreciates you and Tiff. It's gonna be even more like a new car when the Fox master(LOL) gets done with her.
@GearHead704 Exactly. We went on a short roller coaster ride getting some issues sorted out on our daughter's car. It was down for about 2 months at one point. It killed me because she had to go back to college right after spring break without it. She was such a good sport about the situation though.
I just had to order a new set for the 86. Note they are different than the 87-93 cars. This is the set I got. E6TE-A3B New Motorcraft fuel injectors for 1985 Ford LTD 5.0L
He would tell me to take my car to the scrap yard lol. On another note, my A9L is supposed to here tomorrow after sending it to Matt for repair. Should have this old Hobby Horse back on the road again soon and the only reason I know of Fox Resto is through one of your old videos.
I have a 91 Fox body but my fox body doesn't start with the key but you can start it with starting fluid and you can drive it all day and I don't know what's wrong with it😅
Hey Matt it’s crazy to think your daughters 86 and my project 86 t-top coupe will be 40 years old in 3 years😳👍🏻 gotta restore the foxes and keep them on the road😁
Hey what's happening I've a mustang fox body it's a LX color sky blue 💙 it had body damage 💔 on the right rear panels so I've a person did a auto body panels & my mustang was automatic transmission & i replaced the car stereo detached face & i have installed a car alarm system with remote startup & brand new tires & I've to replace the alternator but it's good on gas ⛽️ millage but i got rid of it I've purchased a Honda civic 😮😢❤
Can't remember the name of the company but Chris and Gary talked about it a few times. They can update your original radio to have Bluetooth capability. That would be really cool!
I’m curious, all the stuff found wrong with this car, what was the cost to rectify it all? How much should one expect to pay in additional work needed on a Foxbody of this age?
I think for a car that old.... Its not too bad on the honey do list! Gonna love to see this car at Foxtoberfest... And you better not give up on Nemesis!😠... Keep at it and live my bloopers!!!🤣😂👊👊👍👍
Hey i forgot to tell yo my mustang LX it's either 1988 or 1989 & thanks for sharing your videos with me & please 🙏 continue sharing your mustang videos with me & let me know the situation with your daughter 1986 mustang gt mustang & thanks a million 😊❤
@@GearHead704 I found a 50,000 mile original rust free and I mean rust free beautiful 1986 LX. My problem is it’s a 3.8. I built plenty of cars and I owned an 86 GT. I’m just worried turning this car into an 86 GT is going to end up costing twice what just finding a clean GT would be? But for 3500 bucks for documented 50,000 miles survivor 86 LX from the original owner garage kept its whole life all the paper work etc even being a V6 I’d say that’s a pretty good starting point plus I don’t think she’s gonna get in any trouble with a 3.8 L lol what do you think should I grab it?
@@GearHead704 the seller unfortunately is giving those something doesn’t add up here vibes then I got the oh I’m gonna take it down and relist it because of the amount of interest I’ve had OK well if there is that much interest why do you still have it? I’m not bending over backwards for a V6, that’s for sure. Some of the prices people are asking are just absurd not every car is a low mile SSC worth 40 to 60 grand lol people seem to think they’re ragged out 87 with 160,000 miles on it with Amazon euro headlights is worth 20 grand, that being said, I’m confident if we just stick to it will find a clean one somewhere. Why I didn’t keep my 86 GT or 88 LX 5 L i just don’t know I remember turning down an 86 ASC McLaren Capri in 99 because I thought 2500 bucks was ridiculous for it 😂😂😂😂 Anyway stoked I found your channel man keep the videos coming. Cheers.
It is a blast to see both Matts and Kristen doing foxbody stuff. Hopefully, Kristen can takeover or help you make videos, if she can keep up with chores and school. 😉
We had fun making the video. She stays pretty busy with school, work, chores, and she's also in drama and dance, so we'll see how much extra time she has, but hopefully she gets to enjoy driving this car soon.
i suggest KYB struts and shocks made in japan most even the brand names are china craP I WAS SO PISSED ONLY USE KYB OR TEIN USA COIL OVERS /japan made all so replacing spring seems a bit much but possessive rat would be only way or TEIN coilovers be only way i would do it..break lines needs to be replaced every 20 years or sooner depends
Them Hellcats are mean and blister the tiree a lot, but don't cut them Foxbody's sny slack! Thay aren't super bad by todays standard, but they are light in weight and turn a pretty good quarter mile! I know, I have had an all original 87 GT hatchback for a long time. Love it, just put the first set of tires on it two years ago! No it isn't for sale!😊
Buy the t top 85 chris has..3500 bucks...needs work...someone buy it befor he strips it..the Infamous Project.he has it in Texas..if he had it in Ontario i would buy it.
@@GearHead704 I heard you make that quick comment about the ratio at the end... I made that comment half way through 😂. 3.73 will help with fuel economy 🤏
No offense but thats the worst (mechanical) condition 50k mile mustang I have ever seen in my entire life. I don't think thats an accurate milage. And door pins at 50k??? No way possible.
It did sit for 21 years. I found a lot of the inspection marks on it as well like the alternator, steering rack, and intake manifold. I think it's legit 50k, plus I trust Chris of TIP who I bought the car from.
@@GearHead704 yeah I suppose it's possible but man I sure hate you have to get into all that on a low mile car. I've owned dozens of 100k plus mile fox's and have never seen all that happen like that. I will say that it is beautiful and I hope you get everything worked out!!

Just used those wheels because the tires were still good lol, but yeah they look good. It's actually an auto.
Is it weird that I can watch you guys do this type video all the time?
I'm very grateful for that! lol, but seriously I think it's just interesting to dive into these cards.
Nice video, I had an 86GT just like it. It liked to eat headlights, felt like I was changing one every year.
It's funny it still has a high beam light that is out that iI need to change lol
