1986 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"A good strong car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Muffler, and a bit of an oil leak, that's it.
General comments?
I bought this car when I was seventeen, I drove the heck out of it. I had it for four years. I mean, I even took it 4x4 many times. Nothing went wrong. It was red, with some 5L fat rims. Now you might thing it's kind of an ugly ride, however when I was seventeen the ladies liked it, and I'm only twenty-two now. This car is good for city driving, highway driving and 4x4 driving. You will get a bit of an oil leak from your valve cover gaskets and the manifold in the front, but no big deal. Also the tranny is very strong. In the end, I sold it to a good friend, and he had to replace the water pump and radiator, no big deal. He also is still driving it every day.
