1982 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Great Ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The radiator blew on me at 132,000 miles.
The pin in the clutch fell out twice and it took a couple of hours to fix.
The seat stitches were starting to come out when I sold her.
It was always tricky starting the car.
General comments?
When you did start the car though, it was really fun. I really regret that I sold her because it was fun to just cruise in this car. I took the car to the track with a bone stock engine and she ran seventeen seconds. With the right upgrades, this car could be the king of the road.
