1983 Ford Mustang LX Convertible RWDReview

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.) Pros: Fun summer car to drive...esp with a V-8 and a 5sp std transmission Cons: Front seats are dated and need upgrading as well as suspension |

Cons: Not much to dislike about this car. |

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.) Pros: everything Cons: nothing |

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.) Pros: its a blast to drive one of the last of real american muscle (stock) Cons: more power than rear end grip |

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 Pros: 5.0 fits in nicely Cons: 4cyl is crap as a non turbo |

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.) Pros: it knew why cars were made-----speed Cons: i can't think of one |

Best Mustang I've Ever Owned. By LAREDOTECH1
This mustang is the best handling I've ever owned. It also looks pretty good except, why would Ford delete the spoiler when adding the performance package? The brake bite is really good with these Bre... Read More

Stellar By uvedicusmartin
I love everything about the car! The front end had to grow on me because I was more a fan of the 05-09 body style. If you looking for good gas mileage don't drive a mustang. That choice does not compu... Read More

Fast And Cool By yankeezfan2012
Overall this car is a beast for the price and for what it is, 300 HP for a V6 you can't beat it, or the price. Ford has made some mistakes in the past, but this is not one of them. Read More
