1987 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Affordable - Sporty - Useful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced the alternator at 2,000 miles.
Other than that and regular maintenance the car has run like a champ.
General comments?
Overall this is a pretty strong car. Good handling, acceleration, braking and everyday usefulness. Not going to win records on the race track, but on the street it doesn't shy away from speed.
Paint is almost like-new. No dings, scratches or even rust spots.
