1982 Mustangs were released with the option of a 5 liter V-8 producing 157 horsepower. Another addition to the 1982 Mustangs was the beginning of the GT model which has become the common name associated with the Mustang. Other than that, the wild horse kept on galloping in the same direction it was headed the year before.
