Beautiful car and I can tell the owner really loves the fox body Mustang. I had this exact same car 1985 and drove it from Los Angeles to Denver and back. It was awesome because it was owned by my retired US Army friend, and he used it while in Germany. So I was proud to have a Mustang that had been driven on the Autobahn.

I was stationed in Hohenfels Germany in 91 and 92 in the Army and I had an 84 GT 5 speed with t-tops, burgundy with red interior, that I used to tear up the autobahn with haha. I left it over there which I now regret. I dont know what happened to it. But there was a guy in my company there that had a black 85 or 86 GT, no t-tops, and I'm wondering if maybe that one is your car now. There weren't many of these over there at that time. That would be interesting if that's your car because I remember it well. It was very nice back then, well cared for.

Saw this bad ass 85 at foxtoberfest & took plenty of pictures of it. Im glad you did a review on this car. Love this build!
