A Very Well Built Car — The ford 302 has always been a good engine. Handling isn't the best, could be better. Interior could use upgrades exterior is ok. For being a 302 it's pretty good on gas. Overall the car is very fun to drive.

1989 Ford Mustang Lx Sport 5.0l Convertible — Very good power and a well-proven, reliable platform. As with most Fords though, the styling leaves much to be desired. Braking is marginal ... it has rear drums. As mentioned, very reliable; just keep the oil changed and new tires as necessary.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

One Fat Pony — It's amazing that I like this car, considering how much I hate it. It weighs a LOT. Heavy stopping and starting. Automatic transmission may have something to do with that. 20 years takes it toll on the car so there were some obvious problems. Gas mileage sucks but it is worth it to hear the 'loping' sound of the 5.0 liter V8.

Unique Gt — i like everythig from the looks to the performance ford came out with the 5.0 and it is a beautifull sound especially with no cats headers and intake. I def won trust it on the rain or snow the rear end comes out very easyy
