1996 Ford Mustang GT Convertible review from North America
"Good all around weekend toy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing much. Car needed Engine mounts and a tranny mount. Also the top has a small tear, New top with installation is about 800, so make sure to check for tears.
General comments?
Otherwise the car has been good to me me so far and it is a blast to drive everytime. I added an X pipe with Dynomax mufflers and lowered the car using Eibach springs. Handles a lot better and sounds like God. Not the fastest car around my a margin. My Mark VIII Lincoln was faster with a DOCH 4.6 motor.
Top down cruising is just awesome, every person should have one, this worl would be a better place.
