1989 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The automatic transmission went out along with the u-joints on the drive shaft. This is the third transmission. The Ford AOD transmission seems to last about 80,000 miles with servicing.
General comments?
This car is an excellent base model for the low-budget racer.
