Notes
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this potent street/strip 1986 Mustang LX Coupe. This little white stallion is one powerful pony! If youre a true fan of the Fox Body platform, then you know many notchbacks found themselves living on the drag strip and later suffered the consequences of a hard life, but not this one. We arent talking about a twenty footer here. A lot of time went into getting the body work right before the beautiful bright white paint was applied, and it shows. Under the fiberglass cowl hood, a fresh 408 stroker motor lies in wait for the next victim bold enough to pull up alongside. The built TCI C4 transmission and 2800 stall convertor work together putting power to the pavement along with a 9 Ford rear differential fitted with 3.50 gears. Inside youll discover a full roll cage thats tied into the frame, but also full AutoMeter instrumentation, Kirkey racing seats, racing harnesses, full carpeting, tilt steering, and power windows. And dont worry about driving this Nasty Notch on the street because its well mannered with full MagnaFlow exhaust, power steering, power front and rear disc brakes, and an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. This classic Fox Body is both show and go and at this price its a steal! This 1986 Ford Mustang LX is listed by our Tampa Showroom and can be viewed in greater detail including 100+ HD pictures and an HD video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com.

Bought a vehicle based on Gateways description and pictures 2 weeks ago. I live 1100 miles away, so I was trusting their word. What a big mistake!Vehicle was listed as a "fresh restoration in May 2016". The salesman(Brad at the Tampa branch)assured me this car was in great "show" condition. On arrival, the vehicle barely started, had no turn signal lights, instrument cluster lights, console lights, reverse lights,or functioning horn. Fuse box is completely rusted out. Their description said it had a Holley 850 CFM carburetor, but it a 670 CFM, and it's shot. Transmission, power steering , and radiator all leaking. They attempted to plug up the leaks with gasket sealant. Some linkage under the vehicle was held together with a wire and bent nail. Both exhaust brackets broken. AC and heat had been ripped out of the vehicle. Emergency braking system completely removed. Rear leaf spring broken. Windshield washer system also completely removed. And the engine has a knocking noise. My mechanic gave me an estimate of nearly $7000 dollares to bring this vehicle just up to specs. I forwarded the estimate to Gateway per their request. 2 days later, they called me back and said their is nothing they could do for me. That I signed a sales contract, so I'm just xxxx out of luck. They say it's not their fault the previous owner told Gateway inaccurate information regarding this car. By the way, the previous owner was the car "restorer". And i use this word extremely loosely. I purchased this vehicle for almost $30,000. I didn't purchase a project car. I'm so disgusted with this company and customer relations. And based on other complaints on this website about them, this seems to be a common practice for them. I really hope people who read this shop somewhere else, and pass the word on to friends and family. Gateway Classic Cars is a SHADY, CROOKED , company!!!
