Although Ford did not do much with the 1986 Ford Mustang, it remains a popular car today, as it is relatively easy to tune (anybody have any more details they can provide on this?) Otherwise, the car remained pretty much the same as the 1985 model year.
The standard engine was an oil-leaking 2.3-liter I4 rated at 88 horsepower, and options included a 3.8-liter V6 (120 horsepower). An updated 5.0-liter HO V8 was now the standard in GTs, formerly rated at 210 horsepower. 1986 was the first year for fuel injection, as the 8.8 rear and TRUE dual exhaust. Horsepower went up to 225, also torque went up to 300 ft.lb., making the car quicker.
The SVO trim had a 2.3-liter I4 turbocharged engine, capable of 200 horsepower.
As for the Saleen, Ford began moving some of the after-factory improvements into its standard car, including a new spoiler package, nicer bucket seats, and a leather steering wheel. However, dealers were still required to buy cars specific for conversion which were limited to an LX hatchback or convertible.
4.5 Overall rating

GTO black head light covers, 18" cobra R rims, and T-tops. The car has over $20,000 in the engine and drivetrain. The car puts around 400 Horsepower to the rear wheels. The car is just absolutly gorgeous.
Performance- handles pretty well, not the best choice for snow Build Quality- well it held together after all these years... Apperance- still looking good, just need to buff it out Cost- Its a 23 year old V8 5.0 liter muscle car, what to you think? Fun Factor, it is sure fun to drive!
Very fun car very easy to work on, smooth driveability with the fuel injection Can't imagine an aod in a mustang at all, Love the 5 speed, Love working on the car, love the feel of the pull from the power and torque blended together very well
This was a great car in it's day and with some TLC it can be again. Love the fact it has a large trunk and a back seat. Love the fact it's economical and it is a convertible. I love convertibles! =))
