1982 Mustang Overview
Both the Cobra and Ghia model Mustangs were cast by the wayside in 1982 to make
room for the GLX, which was a GT with a couple more options. The 5.0 made its return as well, after
a two-year hiatus.
There were also a number of styling changes, including a more aggressive pair of fog lights, a lowered
front-air dam, and a front-facing hood scoop plus new rear spoiler. Performance was ramped up as well,
with the addition of a two-barrel Holley carburetor, double-roller timing chain and high-performance
camshaft.
