After the significant restyling the Ford Mustang received in 1987, the 1988 appeared with few changes, engines were still the 2.3-liter I4 with 88 horsepower, and the 5.0-liter V8 HO with 225 horses. The GTs and Saleens remained available, but once again, neither of these showed much change from 1987.

December 20, 20081988 Ford Mustang GT T-Top. 1 of 800 made in 1988 according to the records i have found on line. 5.0 with 245 RWHP and 263 FT-LBS. These readings r to the wheels not for the engine.
May 14, 2008What a quarter mile car. There's nothing like the sound of a 5.0 like this with intake, headers, X-pipe, exhaust, Hurst shifter, and Centerforce clutch. Very tail happy, and the brakes were about useless, but standing on the loud pedal never failed to make me laugh after a rough day at work.
February 5, 2008Performance: For a 2.3L Engine, it has great pick up. Build Quality: For the most part the car holds up very well, The body has 355,000km on it and could probably double that. Appearance: Not quite as muscle looking as other mustangs, but still a great looking car. Cost of Ownership: Mileage isn't great, but it's a mustang...don't expect much. Otherwise, parts are cheap to get for this car. Fun Factor: Go to an empty parking lot and punch the gas and you'll find out.
February 22, 2012Cons: It gets terrible gas mileage, only has one seat, Windshield wipers, heater, A/C, speedometer, do not work, starting to rust around the sunroof, and its pretty loud to drive on the street so it gets lots of attention from the local authorities. Pros: Goes very fast for very very cheap
May 15, 2011I love this Stang! I love this my baby so much I tatted 5.0 on my arm. Been on 4 road trips with me and never misbehaved. Nothing to complain about. She's fast, fun, not overwieght, still turns heads, reliable with 195k on the odometer and still running strong!
May 10, 2011I love my stang easy to fix if ever needs any replacing items, super cheap to repair, best part of car is loud, fast, fun, attracts peoples attention. 15 miles a gallon not bad for an 1988 5.0 block engine
May 5, 2015This is one of the cheaper and easy cars to turn into a real muscle car. The factory interior is above normal and conforable. Do not plan in hauling to much the trunk has limit space. Almost no issues at with the car.
