Just saw a 1985 Mustang GT Hatch go for $12k on Mecum Auto Auctions. Was fully restored and race preped. Ive never seen one before, i rikey alot, paint job was fail though.

Being American, its probably junk, can anyone confirm / deny this?

Thins is the one..

hell they didnt sell for that new.. last of the fox bodys (1994) would be my pick with a saleen kit and a paxton blower hanging off it. new ones are too smart for themselves.

the one you linked is not worth anywhere near that price.

Mustangs are the Honda of American v8's there are everywhere here and are cheaply modded probably the most arrogant cock car owners also.. it always mad me smile when i mustang 5.0 guy pulls up next to my 240 and gives me a evil look trys to leave live a bat out of hell and my RB walks him, even my sr20 beat them stock vs stock American cars = junk unless its a Corvette (lsX motors) Camaro SS (mid 90s, also ls1) Trans-am WS6 (late 90s, also ls1) . they are fun for drift with just cooling upgrades and suspenion tho gotta love v8 instant torque.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
