1984 Ford Mustang Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers have a strong fondness for the 1984 Ford Mustang, celebrating its fun driving experience, nostalgic charm, and solid performance. Many appreciated its straightforward maintenance and easy part replacement, especially for those who've owned it long-term. Common likes include its power, unique design, and how enjoyable it is to drive. However, some drivers pointed out issues like overheating and comfort, along with a few recalls about reliability and driving quirks like noise from the exhaust."
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!
October 2, 2009Wow does this little 4banger Mustang SVO have a lot of power. Great acceleration, especially when the turbo kicks in! I've done a lot of work to it so far and will continue to do more. It is very fun to drive! Any ford person would love it.

January 9, 2008Been in the family since new, always reliable for me, slick shifting automatic transmission, great all around car. Smooth running V-8 power, power steering and brakes make for a easy to drive car. GT 350 stripes lets people know its special limited production.
January 28, 2015great car have had no trouble with it except for an overheating problem that no one has diagnsed
November 13, 2007Very 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.
November 3, 2007five liters of ford power, 5 speed tranny, tire shredder, 17 inch chrome rims, dual exhaust with the sound of american thunder pouring out the back! Though there are a few little cosmetic things that could be done still love it :)
September 2, 2009I'm not a big fan of the 80s Stangs but I always said my first car would be a Mustang and I was right. She handled pretty well but the power steering didn't work so it was a pain sometimes. I called her Chopper because she sounded like a helicopter when she ran because of the muffler being loud and banging on the car.
February 4, 2008I 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.
March 13, 2010Very rare, one of only 3,800 or so made in 1984
