Pros+ great summer car Cons- prone to leaking

Great Summer Cruiser — Almost a classic car with great potential. My personal car was the Expo '86 demonstartor which was used to show-case Ford's newest addition to the mustang community, fuel injection. The car only has a few draw packs in todays world. The engines are large (3.8L V6 or 5.0L V8) but their transmissions are not geared well so you are unable to tap into the engines full potential. This leads to lower fuel economy and lower perfomance levels. This is especially so for the V6 w/t auto transmission w/o overdrive. Three gears is not enough and the car sounds like a wounded animal above 130kph (especially with the convertable top). With overdrive or 4spd the car becomes slightly better but the best option is still the 5spd. |

Awsome Ride! — Very fun car very easy to work on, smooth driveability with the fuel injection Can't imagine an aod in a mustang at all, Love the 5 speed, Love working on the car, love the feel of the pull from the power and torque blended together very well Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

ProsIt's a 5.0 Mustang, what not to like? nothing! ConsIt's kind of a pig on gas if you drive it through the city all the time, but gets good hwy MPG 20+
75
For A Car Enthusiast. — Good for the price. Used 5.0's are going for 800-2000 bucks in the wintertime. It's fun! Parts are cheap for Ford 302's and peformance parts are everywhere. There is not one thing that you can't buy for this car, unlike a Ford SHO, where most of the SHO specific parts are discontinued and you can't find aftermarket. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Prosits mustang c'mon Consits small so it holds like 3 people comfotably, an doesnt handle well in really wet weather or snow
25
I Thought The Car Was Really Fun An Really Fast — the 86 mustang lx is a fast car, not very good looking i perfer the 90-93 but still very fast. the worst thing i can say about the car it that it does not handle good in rain or snow. the car it self picked up speed fast an stopped on a dime (as long as the road was dry) the interior was very plain an clothe material but due to its age it was built like a tank for a 24 year old car it didnt have much rust or noises an didnt need alot of work to stay running. over all a super fun car to drive hard in or just cruse with friends Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Saleens Are Fun! — My car is an 86 Saleen, got it back in 1988. Used to drive it to work daily. That is a thing of the past. It's a toy now, just for pleasure. It's got 78k miles on it. The car was repainted in 93 the original color. I redid the interior with covers from Late Model Restoration. Just added 17" rims from Late Model Resto. 17x9 rears, 17x8 fronts. 255x40 fronts and 275x40 rears. Car has a Bassani Exhaust with hi-flo cats and an X pipe. JBA headers and a host of other things done. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

ProsSpeed and the two numbers alone .....5.0L Consif you dont know anything about cars stay away for this, it tedious and stressful work
35
Love It, If You Find One Buy It And Keep It — I Love it, acceleration is more than it looks. Braking is great, handling is eeeh not so great but thats why you get CJ pony Launch shock and that pretty much loosens up everything and the handling went up in points. the stock Driveline is fragile, when i first bought it of course i hit the gas every chance i got now the driveline has a dent in it and now she vibrates it you go passed 80. the interior is comfertable its made for short people like me. Gas Milage is tolerable but not great, the cost of having a 5.0 This car is fun to drive Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
