1986 Ford Mustang GT Convertible review from North America
"Fabulous"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Finally replaced my clutch last year... after 21 years.
Basic maintenance repairs throughout the years.
New rag top about 12 years ago. Needs one now.
Front leather seats now need to be replaced.
Had some kind of electrical issue with gauges about 12 years ago. It did not affect the performance of the car.
Premium gas -- ouch!
General comments?
After driving this car on a daily basis for 22 years, it doesn't owe me a thing. It is reliable, has great performance, and continues to be my primary source of commute.
Although expensive, I will happily continue to feed my mustang her premium gas. It is much cheaper than a new car payment.
It is time to have the valves etc checked because she is a little cold upon first starting. Once going for about 5 minutes, she runs like a dream.
I will continue to drive "Wednesday" and keep making repairs as needed... even though my husband has tried to talk me into a new car and putting her up for the Sunday drive. I'll think about it... tomorrow.
