The cover of the 1985 Ford Mustang Promotional booklet shows a Silver Mustang GT. In 1985 the L series Mustang was dropped making the LX the base with the GT and SVO as upgrades. Just as in the previous 2 years, the tires on all models were increased in size again. The grille was changed to match more with the SVO but with an open slit at the bottom. All Mustangs also had a front air dam with four rectangular holes in the center. GT's received integrated fog lamps and the SVO received more flush headlamps. The tail lights on all models were full width with only an opening for the license plate.

This page of the 1985 Ford Mustang Promotional brochure says the Mustang GT and SVO feature power-assisted rack and pinion steering with a constant ratio design (15:1) tat provides easier maneuverability and an excellent feel of the road.

The 1985 Mustang GT was available as both a 3-door hatchback or 2-door convertible, shown here both in silver.

Dark Gray Metallic 1986 Mustang GT hatchback owned by Dwayne McCracken from Washington, Missouri. It has a 5.0L V8 engine and a manual transmission. Dwayne adds, "I bought this GT in 1990 when the car was 4 years old. It's 28 years old now and I'm still driving it. It's still stock except for the chrome wheels I put on it. It's runs as good as ever and I think it looks almost as good as it did when I bought it."
