1984 Ford Mustang Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I love my car. It was my father's. He bought it when I was about 12. He'd been restoring it up until the day he left it for me, including a brand new engine that the machine shop and himself built, and that he put in. It's now a 306 with 351 heads that are ported and polished with a 3-angle valve-job. Forged crank, COMP Cam, Rhodes lifters, ARP bolts, Holley 750, Offenhauser 360 intake I've yet to put on, along with a set of shorties I'm about to put on. With a stock h-pipe, stock headers, and a Flowmaster 3-chamber 2.5" cat-back system, the car is loud as he||. Custom tranny, 3.55s in the back, the car moves. Oh yeah, custom interior too... all OEM parts from different years (steering column, seats, headliner, dashpad, etc.). I'm in love with the styling of the car because it grew on me watching my Dad love it and work on it for years. I was always a big fan of the '87 - '93 styling, as I still am, but for some reason, I've owned 2 '84s, an '86, and am still considering buying another '84-'86. CrAzY. Low-Pros all around, all black ext. w/no badges. These cars rock. Period. Oh yeah, believe it or not, with the jet setup in my carb., I get 15 mpg. Trust me, I clock it, gas it by the gallon, and I've NEVER run the car out of gas. Repair-wise, the sway-bar rusted off the frame on one side, I would say due to the fact that someone left it sitting outside the garage for a couple years through snow and everything. The performance is great. The major handling problem I've had is the rear end sliding out, even at slow speeds.Mar 13, 2010

My fox-body Mustang is used exclusively as a track- day/race car. It has a complete Griggs Racing GR40 World Challenge [non-SLA] suspension. It handles as well as just about anything else on the track... I just need to improve work on the dummy behind the wheel, and a little (okay a lot) more horsepower would be nice! The fun factor with my Mustang is off the charts!Oct 02, 2009

Um, it's not even close to stock... So yeah. 300 some-odd horsepower and sub 3000lbs with me in it - it performs pretty swell. 30mpg highway, 20ish city (as high as about 25 and as low as 8 depending on how I drive). It rattles like crazy. It also has full 3" exhaust with a Flowmaster race muffler dumped at the rear axle... so that might play a role in the rattles. It's an 80's car. The 80's rocked. Enough said. Super expensive cost of ownership. Almost nothing in repairs, but once you get the bug to upgrade you can't stop! I love driving it every day. By far the most fun car I've had the privilege of driving. Jun 20, 2009

White with black GT stripe on hood, t-tops, 5 speed. I had this car when I was in college at San Diego State. Loved it. I have great memories driving it back home or down to San Diego. Drove down Hwy 1 once. Bought a Deli sandwich in Carmel and stopped along the cliffs. Great car for college. Loved the V8 although it's pretty weak compared to today's cars.Feb 01, 2008

Hooker Comp headers, true dual exhaust, 5spd manual trans, 8in rear. Installed 6pt. roll cage, drag buckets, 5pt racing belts, 15in alloy wheels. 3-way adjustible racing shocks and complete rear control arm kit with greasable poly bushings.Jan 09, 2008

Very good car, had an '83 convertible back in '85 was a good car. Bought an '84 convertible G.T. 2 years ago, oxford white eye catcher, have had offers for twice what I paid for it. Not for sale. Fun to have a 24 year old that out performs new cars that cost 10 times as much as I paid. Small block v-8, 5-speed, 9 inch ford rear end, good combo! Some Fords I wouldn't own, this is a keeper! Easy to upgrade, any later model fox body engine and drive train slips right in, ie. with a donor car fuel injection is easy. Fun to teach this latest generation with their rice burners about true performance.Nov 03, 2007
