Wow. What we have here is a genuine 1-owner car, bought brand-new in Charles City, Iowa, just 16 miles from our current location of Greene, Iowa. These days, you don't see very many GT Mustangs (pre-1987 restyling) that aren't convertibles. What we've got here is a rare exception. This 1983 Ford Mustang GT Hatchback is the real deal, a time capsule on wheels. This GT has plenty of life left in it, with exceptionally low milage and being presented with only 44,895 actual miles on the odometer. Even better, this fast Ford has all the '80s features that one could possibly want. T-tops, air conditioning, rear window louvers, and dual-sport mirrors are just a couple of the options that this Mustang presents to its next owner. Power is provided via a high-output (H.O.) 5.0L, 302 C.I. V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor. Torque from that V8 gets to the 9" rear axle through a 4-speed manual transmission that is sure to provide this GT's next owner with a hell of a good time. What really sticks out is the paint on this Mustang, presented with 27-code "Bright Red" paint that has stood the test of time very well. The paint is then accented by black decal stripes and graphics, with the "GT" logo on the hood being especially good-looking. The black accenting is made the main color of the interior, presented with black vinyl bucket seats and a factory center console for added convenience. Options on this GT include power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, T-Tops, rear window louvers, dual-sport mirrors, power windows, a factory AM/FM/Cassette stereo system to really rock those '80s tunes, a factory tachometer + gauges, and a factory-spec exhaust system. The car rides on some original-style 4-bolt steel wheels on top of some correct Michelin TRX tires for that true, authentic '80s look. When you're behind the wheel of this Mustang, you've only got one destination: 1983. There isn't much else out there with such authentic originality and such a storied history! This GT is just itching for the chance to drive beyond our area, and it's looking for a new driver. We think you'd look pretty good looking like you came straight from the set of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" while behind the wheel of this highly original '83 Mustang GT.
