1987 Ford Mustang Specs, Horsepower, & Features - 1987 Ford Mustang Specs, Horsepower, & Features

The 1987 Mustang received a much-needed facelift eliminating the aero-look of the company's other offerings. Even though most of the sheet metal components stayed the same, the front end took on an entirely new look as a result of retooling the plastic bumper cover.

Ford also dropped the SVO, 4-Cyl turbo, and V6. This was because it became apparent as a result of mediocre SVO sales that most performance Mustang buyers were not interested in a 4 or 6-cylinder power plant, no matter what horsepower it was. Next was that the UAW (United Auto Workers) began to protest the pending layoff of the Dearborn Assembly Plant workers that would be affected by the move. Lastly, when word about the new changes leaked out to the public, Ford began to receive letters of protest by the thousands. This resulted in only V8 and 4cyl options being offered in the redesigned 1987 Mustang! Check out our 1987 Mustang specs below!
