1993 Ford Mustang GT convertible review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The parts that I changed that had failed when I bought the car used were the following: Rear shocks (one was broken) Catalytic converters were punched out, power lock solenoid broken (passenger side) bushings on door hinge pins wore out, front rotors were shot.
General comments?
The body of this car was in very good condition for a 9 y.o. car when I bought it. It is reef blue with titanium lower cladding. It also had cheap aftermarket wheels on it. I did not realize at the time of purchase that the seller had swapped the original white leather seats for grey cloth and swapped the original T-5 5spd manual transmission for an AOD automatic. I found this out by running the VIN number on the www.mustanggt.org website. The car has since had the original white leather interior reinstalled and a Tremec TKO II 5 speed. Other mods are 4 wheel disc brakes and 5 lug axles with 17x9 Cobra R wheels, 3.55 axle gears and and a 2.5" exhaust with headers. The car is very fast, handles like a sports car and is a blast to drive. My wife hates the way I drive it. It hard not to get it sideways for fun. It has loads of torque and can lay rubber for 200' This is a great car and will probably never sell it.
