1993 Ford Mustang LX Coupe from North America - Comments

I have noticed that the paint on the roof is fading to black (or chipping) in pin-point spots within a month of purchase from the dealership.

I totally love my 1993 Ford Mustang. Of all the cars I have seen at used car lots, this was a no-brainer steal.

However, I should have known that beginning drivers need not apply for the driving position in this vehicle. The over-steer is totally off the charts and sent me flying off the road recently. Being young and inexperienced, I decided to take a 90 degree turn (on a back road) with this baby at about 30 miles per hour with wet tires and the rest is history. I ended up upside-down in a ditch on the other side of the road.

The funny thing is, this car runs like a dream even after the roll-over. All this talk about weak factory jobs is senseless. Mustangs were built Ford Tough!

Due to the roll-over the vehicle now has a severe dent on the rear-right corner near the trunk that is about two inches squared. Also, there is a three foot scratch along the passenger side door that shows a little bit of metal and some denting on the rear passenger wheel base. The roof sustained several four inch square dents, but no scratches.

However, none of this is noticable when driving at night.

The Mustang is all stock except for my custom sound system, which gains the envy of pedistrians on the sidewalks and makes the homies in their plain old Hondas bow down.

I have had the car for 7 months now and haven't driven for the last 2.

After a transmission seal at 107K there was coolant leak which lead(immediately) to the engine shutting off due to a cracked head.

Now the car sits awaiting a donation to somebody while I finance another car. Have my eyes on a 91 Mustang 5.0 Automatic.

I know the feeling of taking 'a ride' like the one you detailed. I was 18 in my 396 Camaro on a wet back road when too much beer and too little sense caught up to me. Oh well, nobody was hurt and I'm a little wiser for it. Not to be mean, but you are probably the ONLY one who enjoys your music when you aren't in a parking lot w/your peers. If you don't believe me now, you will in a few years. It's a very subjective matter and guys who don't turn down their boomin' stereos in residential areas are THE reason that city councils are passing silly noise restrictions. You may not agree now, but you will.
