Awesome Car To Own. — This is a very fun car to drive around town or on a long road trip. Great performance all around, very good gas mileage, extremely easy to work on and maintain. Do have some issues with interior though, requires alot of devotion to maintain the dash pad. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Great Car! — Cost of ownership is very affordable. Very fun to drive. The performance is very good for a bone stock car. All it has is a new exhaust which sounds sick. The car is obviously very fun to drive being it a 5-speed. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

All Around Excellent Car Easy To Drive Even Easier To Look At — in 1983 ford released the 5.0 for the first time since the mid 70s they came stock in the mustang gt. at 180 horse it could have had more to offer but to the weight ratio of the car its a good balance, and let me tell you with the 5 speed standard its a quick car. handling is good but not outstanding tires and underbody sway bars and other customs have been added to make high speed handling much better. other than that it is completely stock, down to the original paint job and radio.it is a strong solid car that has needed very few repairs that were pretty easy to fix.beautiful inside and out .a true blast to drive Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

So Far It's A Piece, I Got It Cheap And It Needs Work — So far it's a piece...I bought cheap so it's a fixer upper...one of the lifters isn't working properly so I need to change that-and I will start on the 1st (when I get paid next). It has a 302, so I'm happy, it does run, but with the lifter messing up it's knocking, but nothing terrible...other than the that the body is rusting-so I'm gonna get to replace that too, and yeah the interior needs work too, so I'll find out how to do that as well :) |

ProsThis is a one year edition GLX Mustang, Very Powerful car, fun to drive, handles like a sports car, gets a lot of looks, comfortable on trips, trophy winner ConsUses premium gas, only downside, gets about 17-19mpg which isn't too bad

My Red Flash — I always admired the Mustang LX as it is quicker, leaner and more agile over the Mustang GT model which has some extra weight and has a heavier look to it. The 5 speed manual mated with the 5.0 High Output V8 engine makes for an exciting driving experience. |

ProsFun summer car to drive...esp with a V-8 and a 5sp std transmission ConsFront seats are dated and need upgrading as well as suspension

Fun V-8 Car To Drive — This is my 2nd FOX chassis car and is the same year as my first mustang. Both are 5.0L with 4 bbl carbs. Power top works fine, but does have a bigger blind spot behind the rear 1/4 glass than a regular coupe. Fuel economy is not bad, as long as you don't "Floor it" all the time. Power from the V-8 is fine and the motor is stock ( 175hp) Seeing as the car is almost 30 years old, it does need some seat upgrades for comfort. The car was cheap to purchase and had suffered little from abuse ( most suffer a lot) But it has been a reliable car , with no major problems. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Lots Of Potential Not A Lot Of Maitenence — great car lots of potential. not much pep from the 2.3l single barrel carburetor . non turbo is crap. auto is worthless. t-tops leak got outrun by Geo metro's and Suzuki swifts, very reliable not hard to work on if u get one get a 5.0 swap with a 9inch rear end Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Mustangs Are The Only Think Ford Knows How To Do Right — this car had a turbo engine as well so it really moved, especially over Logans Pass. 5 speed standard and hatchback made for a perfect combination of speed and function. gas mileage depended on how many races you had and it was a riot to drive! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
