Performance:
0-60 in 7.5 seconds, standing quarter mile in 15.5 seconds, Top Speed 134 mph.

As for your questions; I would imagine the turbo has been rebuilt by now. If not, plan on doing it.

I believe the ripple effect on the lower paint is a protection against stones, etc.
I would assume that if the '84's had bad paint jobs, it would be pretty obvious by now, 16 years later.

The transmission is a modified T-5.

This is a rare Mustang and a real find.
Expect to pay well for it, unless the owner is either hiding something or doesn't know what he has.
