1981 Ford Mustang LX Coupe review from North America
"Best car I've bought!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well it needed the rear brakes replaced, new carburetor (leaking gas out of the idle jet linkage)
Spun a baring between the crank shaft and the fly wheel, (my fault, it was worth it though!)
Problems with the aoutomatic choke, but easily converted to manual choke.
General comments?
Very fun to drive, recovers from fish tails easily.
Very comfortable black vinal interior.
Agresive looks many modifications available, pleas don't rice them out though... it's a mustang!
The 3.3L in-line 6 gives a lot of power with around 120 horse power and 150 foot pounds of torque!
