1988 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Good Car, But beware before you buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything. This car was a nightmare, I had to replace every piece of equipment under the hood. The previous owner put in a Ford Motorsports F303 cam and didn't change anything else. It took 1300 just to replace all the sensors, if the car wasn't free it wouldn't of been worth it.
General comments?
After all the repairs the car was a dream I sold the F303 cams and put stock ones back in. Sold the car for 2200 so I was happy about that.
But if you buy a GT or any 5.0L I suggest you do a thorough inspection of the engine.
