1970 Ford Mustang Coupe review from North America
"One fast ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
