1986 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"An actually reliable mustang"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heater Core after 12 years
Transmission and rear end after stints at Road Atlanta.
General comments?
Turbo swil heads suck, fact the you have to replace pistons to fit better heads sucks. other than that this is a solid dead reliable car, with loads of potential, one of the lighter fox bodied mustangs, and to me the prettiest as long as it is white black or grey. other colors suck. I left mine in the garage for 3 years and brought it back out and it started and drove fine, great solid car.
