Anniversary Mustangs always seem to attract attention, especially when they surface after decades out of the spotlight. This 1984 Ford Mustang GT350 20th Anniversary Edition, listed on Facebook Marketplace in Olney Springs, Colorado, is being offered as a project for $6,500. According to the seller, the car has been stored indoors for more than 30 years and remains a genuine GT350 anniversary model, making it an interesting find for Fox-body enthusiasts.

Ford introduced the GT350 package in 1984 to commemorate the Mustang’s 20th anniversary. The seller notes that approximately 5,260 GT350 anniversary cars were produced, giving these special-edition Fox bodies a place in Mustang history that collectors continue to pay attention to today. According to the listing, this car retains its original Oxford White exterior, factory GT350 graphics, and anniversary fender badges. The seller describes it as completely factory-original and says that many of the GT350-specific trim pieces and graphics are still present. Those details can be important, as anniversary-specific components are often some of the hardest items to locate years later.

The car is listed with 116,000 miles and an automatic transmission. The seller states that it has the desirable 5.0-liter V8 setup but advises buyers to verify drivetrain specifics for themselves. That’s always good advice with any older project car, especially one that has reportedly spent decades in storage.

As with many long-stored vehicles, the listing is upfront about a few issues. The seller mentions damage to the interior and to a rear fender. They also note that the car has no major rust. Beyond those statements, the ad doesn’t provide extensive details about the condition, so prospective buyers would likely want to request additional photos and information before making any decisions.

What’s appealing here is the combination of rarity and originality. Fox-body Mustangs have become increasingly popular in recent years, and special-edition cars tend to draw even more interest. Finding an anniversary GT350 that the seller claims remains factory original and has been tucked away indoors for decades is the kind of story that gets enthusiasts paying attention. This doesn’t sound like a finished collector car ready for a show field tomorrow. Instead, it appears to be the sort of project that could appeal to someone who appreciates the Fox-body era and enjoys tracking down unusual Mustang variants. The seller describes it as having strong collector potential, and the rarity of the anniversary package certainly adds another layer of interest.

For Mustang fans, part of the appeal may simply be preserving a piece of Ford’s 20th-anniversary celebration before it disappears. Opportunities to buy genuine GT350 anniversary cars don’t come along every day. Would you keep this 1984 GT350 as original as possible, or would you build it into the Fox-body you’ve always wanted?

    Wow.. i don’t get it. You could of gotten more since its a 5 speed V8. If you took it out and washed it well. Meguires spray detail wax would shine that paint up. And clean up the interior. What is the big deal in doing that!? I also notice its … Pending … so he has a buyer on the hook. I was surprised to see single exhaust tip on the left side. I thought the V8 had duals? Anyway Good luck to the next owner. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ»
