1979 Ford Mustang Ghia review from North America
"A hardcore piece of Detroit Iron"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The electrical system, in particular the fusible links for the ignition system, have started to give me problems, one day the car will start on the first try, other days it will just crank over and over with out any spark from the coil.
The floor boards have rotted out on the drivers side.
Had to replace both front rotors.
General comments?
For a 23 year old car it still gets me where I want to go efficiently and gets good gas mileage.
In my opinion it has the best v6 ford offers.
