1985 Ford Mustang GT Cobra review from North America
"A fun car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Put new heater core and a 3 core radiator right after I bought the car. Other than regular maintenance the car is maintenance free.
Replaced dash and arm pads. NOT one of Ford's better ideas as they all crack and dry up.
General comments?
Car has awesome power for a stock motor. I used to own a 475HP Torino that used to run in the low 12's, though not as quick it is impressive. Car is a hoot to drive, get lots of thumbs up signs!! Car is in almost show room condition and I do put it in car shows.
