1979 Ford Mustang review from North America

The carburetor needed to be rebuilt when I got it and the power steering pump needed to be replaced, we were able to replace the power steering on our own, but had to pay around $600 to fix the carburetor.

When I had the vehicle the whole engine fell apart around 2006 at the start of the second semester for college, can't remember the exact date. I wouldn't necessarily call it the cars fault since around a month before it fell apart I noticed the oil gauge wasn't reading any pressure. I told my dad about it, dummy said its probably the gauge, neither of us checked like idiots. so yeah I had been riding it a while with no oil pressure probably my fault it fell apart. Makes me sad now. I had probably around 10,000 miles on it myself before this happened, but prior to that it ran, and ran reasonably well. Sorry for such a lengthy story, I thought it was needed to explain why it failed.

The miles gauge read around 40k (since the gauge only goes up to 99999) when I got it, yeah I know that's not the miles, and I drove around 10k while owning it.

About the car now.

I didn't know the millage on the car, but I do know I put around 10,000 miles on it give or take a thousand. Its in the junkyard now.

The car got poor gas millage, around 10 miles a gallon if I was lucky.

Acceleration was poor, I could floor it and barely speed up enough to make it up on the freeway.

The seats were in very good condition when receiving it and didn't seem to wear at all. very nice interior over all.

It still had paint on it while my brothers 1991 explorer had half his paint pealing.

It would consistently stall (warming it up would usually make this not happen), I would make jokes that I was going to die pulling in front of traffic in it.

Breaks didn't break very well, even slamming on them wouldn't slow it down fast enough.

I have to say, I hated the car while owning it and loved it when I lost it, since not having a car sucks.
