I haven't had too much trouble with this car. There was sone rust, but not too much considering it had spent its life in the American Pacific-Northwest, a region notorious for its large amounts of rainfall.
Also, I had a small electrical mystery and the car wouldn't start. I jiggled around some wires and it started right up, and has since never resurfaced.
She has a modified engine, and is very snooty in manner when you hit the gas.
The transmission is Ford's venerable C4 three-speed automatic gearbox, modified with a B+M QuickSilver shifter setup - shifts are quick, firm, and positive.
Interior is somewhat poorly designed ergonomically, and the seats are not the most comfy - but it all looks just plain cool.
The suspension, equipped with new "KYB Gas-A-Just" shocks keeps this car on track.
Looks wise, you just can't go wrong with this car, particularly with a new coat of paint.
Parts are ridiculously easy to find, and the car is easy and cheap to maintain.
I'm currently restoring a deluxe 1968 red Mustang convertible. I'm the 3rd owner. My friend owned my car before me. My friend found the 68 Mustang in a barn in 1979, and I bought my Mustang in 1995.
The Mustang has not been driven that much, just sitting in the garage. When I got the car, the paint was faded, and now finally in April 2006 I am totally restoring my dream car.
When I drove my car, it drove nice. I totally rebuilt the front end. Its been the best car, no deq, no computer crap, really easy to work on.
