New Owner with a question.
Hi all,
I just bought an 87 Mustang LX. Can anyone tell me what the diffrence is between a GT and an LX? I can't find any info on it. I did see something about a V6 and a V8. Is that all? Thanks for the help. ~Reeker |

Re: New Owner with a question.
I am pretty sure that all 87-89 gt's came with turbines and the v8 lx's came with the 10 holes.

Re: New Owner with a question.
Wow, Thank you for the informative replies! I'm not quite sure what all of it means yet but that's kinda hubbys area... for now.
I picked up my car this morning. Kinda scared me at first as my other car is a lil 4 cyl. Didn't take me very long to get comfortable and get going. We figured we would have alot of work to do on the interior but so far just the rear seat belts need installed and the front part of the convertible top needs to be installed. The sterio system is set to be installed tomorrow. I'd like to slap the previous owner. He/she jammed a radio in it that obviously didn't belong there, and installed an equalizer upside down in it. All speakers on the passanger side are blown and the drivers side sounds so bad. Our sound tech is gonna cry. There was no reason to do that to that beautiful car. The motor sounds a bit rough yet but it's been sitting for over a year so we expected some problems. Mostly belts needing replaced and a few minor adjustments here and there. The body has one minor dent. There is no rust on this car at all. If you would like to see it I have it posted on my site HERE I guess I've rambled enough for now. Please forgive me, this is my dream car and I still have a hard time believing it's sitting in the driveway. ~Reeker

Re: New Owner with a question.
Congrats on your purchase. IMO, there is no car more fun to drive than a 5speed V8 fox body mustang. It seems that you are already hooked on it. There are a lot of people on this site who can help you with any problems you encounter with your car. Welcome to the mustang world.

Re: New Owner with a question.
I agree. I have not even owned a Fox body, but drove my buddies all the time until he turned 16. That car hands down was the most fun to drive, and someday I will have a fox body sitting next to my old girl. Congrats on the buy!
