1986 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 from North America
Summary:
Very fast, very reliable, very versatile
Faults:
The drivers side step plate is cracked.
The dash is discolored from 19 years of sun. (expected)
A spot on the hood decal about one inch square has pealed off.
Some of the gray trim was weathered and re-painted.
The elastic on the map holder on the drivers door is stretched out.
I had to replace the rear hatch shocks.
General Comments:
I have had this car since it was new with 3 miles on it.
I have never owned a better car. I have never been easy on this car (understatement) and it will not break!
I have added racing suspension, tires and rims and a performance chip.
It has a very stiff suspension.
Other than that it is stock.
It has never seen a winter and is a beautiful car.
I have replaced the battery once, gave it a tune up a couple of times and replaced the tires…several times.
I have hauled water heaters and PA systems and lumber to the roof.
It has been a “utility sports car” that has never let me down.
I can not imagine ever selling it because I can not imagine getting out of it what it is worth to me.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

"...horsepower to burn the tires forever"?
No offense, but the 3.8 in your Mustang puts out 112 hp, which is much less than a late model Corolla, hardly a performance car...
