1970 Ford Mustang Base 3.7L 200 C.i. Straight 6

Summary:

Classic project

Faults:

It would randomly stall, but that's to be expected from a 34 year old car. I had to cut the exhaust off because the hanger behind the muffler broke off. I had to redo the brakes. It has an oil leak at the #5 cylinder from a bad gasket. The parking brake cord is too short. (the list goes on) The whole interior has been replaced. The body needs to be completely re-done.

General Comments:

OK, if your looking for a project car. Not a daily driver. You are going to need alot of money to restore one of these. I bought the car for $800, and have already spent over $3000 on parts alone.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1970 Ford Mustang Coupe 302 (5.0L) 2 Valve V8

Summary:

One fast ride

Faults:

Valve guide seals have started to leak.

The car gets about 8 miles per gallon.

The engine burns about 1 quart of oil every 600 miles.

Power steering pump leaks.

Brake light switch does not work anymore.

Emergency flashers do not work.

When turning right turn signal on you have to hold it otherwise it turns off.

Driver side window shattered 2 days after I bought it, the metal arms that move the window up and down had bent over the years then bound up.

General Comments:

This car has so much power that leaving a dirt road or dirt driveway is impossible without spinning the tires.

The exhaust note sounds awesome.

In my opinion the rear window is a little too small.

Has no right side mirror which really bugs me.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
