Looks like it's about as plain as one could get one in 1986. No power seats, power locks, power windows, or cruise. Looks like someone added aftermarket cruise. Car looks clean.

I want it. I'm calling.
It dose look clean
true stripped.
no ac, 3 speed auto, no passenger side mirror. it was of course the v-6, since the aod and ac were standard on the 5.0 . 127k is what they think it has on it. dash light is burned out or they can't see mileage.
nice classy guy, wasn't pushy and answered every question I had. price is correct and they sounded firm on it. if this was $4-500 less i would be driving up to get it right now. going to crunch some numbers and see if the bank will even talk to me on a signature loan deal.
I love how you could order these cars with no options/ all option/ some options... build what you want, now all newer cars come with "packages" and something like this would be a "track package" and would probably cost you more.
That's my big peeve nowadays. When I bought my first and only brand new car, a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, I got it with the 6-speed manual. The only way to get the 6-speed manual was to buy the most basic-ass GL model. If I wanted any options at all (such as fog lights or alloy wheels) it would have meant stepping up to the GLS model, which was $3500 and included an automatic. I saved my $3500 and bought a set of aftermarket alloy wheels for $70 apiece, installed some aftermarket HID's and ballasts (you can do this with projections style headlights and retain proper beam characteristics) for $60, and installed a sub & amp to make the base stereo sound decent.
Ford is no better. I'm planning on trading the Sonata in on a new Mustang GT, probably next year (want to see the new ones), and have been playing around on Ford's website. To get certain things in the Mustang you have to buy whole option packages. I hate it...
