1990 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A childhood dream come true"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission required a rebuild shortly after I purchased the car (due to lack of maintenance by the previous owner / transmission fluid was extremely dirty and burned before rebuild).
I also am experiencing surging idle for which I am currently researching a possible solution.
General comments?
I have had an obsession with the 87-93 Mustang 5.0 since the age of 11 when my cousin purchased an 89 LX (which he still owns to this day).
At the age of 22 I was finally able to purchase the car that I wanted so badly as a young child.
Now that I have my baby she sits side by side with my 2000 Explorer in the driveway. As the years pass I will have gone through many cars, but my Pony and I will be together until death do us part.
In my short life of 22 years I have owned nothing but Ford vehicles (1998 Ford Contour SE, 2000 Ford Explorer XLT, 1990 Ford Mustang LX). I am and forever will be a loyal Ford customer for life!!!
