1983 Ford Mustang User Reviews

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.)

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.

1983 Mustang L 2.3 Liter — My car was copper and beige, it was actualy the L level and it had ugly hub caps. This car had the 2.3, again under powerd and this one liked to blow smoke. I hated this car but it was cheap and got me around.
