Description for Ford Mustang 1982

Up for sale is my very unique and very rare 1982 Ford Mustang GLX convertible. From 1974 through 1982 there were no convertible Mustangs, save for the 200 or fewer factory certified conversions done by BIVOUAC Inc. for the 1982 model year. This car is one of the few chosen ones.

This beautiful Mustang was originally displayed inside a mall in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, where the original owner spotted it and fell in love at first sight. During a self-described mid-life crisis, he traded in his new 1982 Chevy S10 and bought the Mustang from Ramsey-Sturman Ford Inc. for $16,299. He then brought it down to Florida immediately where the car has spent nearly its entire life. It has never seen snow or salt and is rust-free.

It was put into storage in the late 90s and brought back out twelve years later. After such a lengthy storage, the original owner went through the car from top to bottom, and then garaged it and used it as a weekend cruiser. He performed the following work:

-a fresh respray of the original polar white paint on a laser-straight, rust-free body with no filler

-a new fuel tank

-a new top with receipt of $1228

-installation of a fresh, non-numbers matching 302 (car originally came with the anemic and short-lived 4.2-liter 255 V8) with new flat top pistons, Edelbrock performer cam and intake, and fresh 351 Windsor heads with stainless steel valves

-a new steering rack

-all new AC components and a professional 134a refrigerant conversion

-a new 3-row aluminum radiator

-true dual exhaust with h-pipe and turbo mufflers

-new power window motors

I purchased the car in 2018 and I am the second owner. As of this writing, it has just over 42,000 original miles, the odometer has not rolled over. Since I've owned the car I've done numerous updates to it so it's as reliable as can be:

-new mechanical fuel pump

-new Holley 600 electric choke carburetor

-complete new ignition system including: distributor, cap and rotor, ignition module, ignition coil, plugs and wires

-new rear axles, auburn gear limited slip differential and 3.08 ring and pinion, professionally installed with receipt of $1050

-all new front and rear brakes, including shoes, pads, drums, rotors, calipers, wheel cylinders, and all hardware

-fresh fluids

This Mustang is daily-driver reliable and a blast to drive around town. I'd love to see it go to a new owner that truly appreciates the efforts and care this automobile has been gifted throughout the years. It's a fine example and a special fox body that can be driven and enjoyed immediately. The only few known issues remaining are: the fuel gauge only reads 1/4 to 3/4, the cruise control is not hooked up, and the original red leather seats do have some fading from the sun as seen in the pictures.

It comes with a clean and clear Florida title in my name and full documentation including original window sticker and bill of sale, BIVOUAC Conversion information and certification, owner's manual, loads of receipts, and so much more. Please feel very free to email or call with any questions at all. My name is Brad. 813-538-9348
