Gorgeous 1986 Ford Mustang LX Convertible 2-Door 5.0L - One Owner
1986 Ford Mustang LX Convertible 2-Door
For all those looking for a great little ride, look no further than this Excellent, One Owner, Low Miles, 1986 Ford Mustang 5.0 LX that is the latest from Sonoran Classic Restorations in Scottsdale.
Now before we go into further detail, it's worth having a look at Hagerty's March 2017 write-up on these little gems:
1979 - 93 Ford Mustang
The importance of this car cannot be overstated. It's a design that has aged well, and no other car offers up a greater bang-for-buck factor than a 5.0-liter Fox body. Plenty of them have been used and abused, but with so many produced, you can afford to bide your time and be choosy. You'll still come away with a quick little modern classic. Aftermarket support is incredible, which only adds to this Mustang's appeal. (Hagerty's Latest Values - Excellent from $11,600 up to $15,600 for Concourse).
So as you can see, you can't go wrong with one of these fun classics from the '80's. And whether you are looking for a strong entry in your next car show or just want an exceptional ride for cruising around town, this is the one!
As far as the history, this was a one owner car until this past February. The original owner gave the car to his grandson, who immediately decided that he did not need the car, thus we purchased it from him.
With that, you'll note that many items on this vehicle are still original and in our typical fashion, it has been gone through meticulously. This car is in EXCEPTIONAL condition and drives INCREDIBLY NICE. Following are all the details:
Body:
Bodywork and paint was just professionally completed by seasoned Professional Auto Body Painter (27 years in the business). Paint was in decent shape, but had multiple dings and scratches on the sides and bumpers. All dings and scratches were repaired and painted. Car was then painted with 3 coats of clear, colored sanded and buffed. Cleaned and repainted all black trim. The bodywork is arrow straight and the Mustang looks great!

Disclosures:
Now as beautiful as this Mustang has turned out, it is a 1986. There is a small oil leak from the oil pan gasket after driving. It is also a convertible, and as most, has small leaks around the seals when being washed, but never driven in the rain, so not sure if it will leak or not. There are two seams slightly splitting on the left rear seat, as well as stress cracking at the bottom left rear seat (noted in final photo). There are also small tears in the left and right interior quarter panels (also noted in final photo). Lastly, the passenger side seat-belt has some slacking. Otherwise, it looks incredible, runs great and is exceptionally fun to drive.
