1970 Ford Mustang Base review from North America
"Classic project"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It would randomly stall, but that's to be expected from a 34 year old car. I had to cut the exhaust off because the hanger behind the muffler broke off. I had to redo the brakes. It has an oil leak at the #5 cylinder from a bad gasket. The parking brake cord is too short. (the list goes on) The whole interior has been replaced. The body needs to be completely re-done.
General comments?
OK, if your looking for a project car. Not a daily driver. You are going to need alot of money to restore one of these. I bought the car for $800, and have already spent over $3000 on parts alone.
