New Guy here

stangfan80 · 02-24-2002, 08:19 PM

Just thought I would introduce myself, I do not yet have a Mustang but have been saving up for one for the past 2 years when I do find one it is going to be a project car I already have a Jap Crap Daily Driver (2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse) But I have wanted a stang since I was old enough to know what cars were. I am looking for a 87-93 stang if anyof you guys have opinions on any of them I am all ears, I am going to be picky when I pick one. I just wanted to say HI to you all.

Welcome to this site it is great

I would suggest an '89. I have heard it is one of the best years for the tilt steering wheel (if that matters) though it doesnt have an airbag (if that matters). There isnt much different between them besides the pre-89 ones were mass air equipped (except california 88's) Sopposedly mass air is better for heavy modifications if you have plans for those like i do maybe (only 17 lol). Have fun with this site i know you will and you will learn a lot too.

Later,
Nick

Hey, what's up. When I first started posting here, I owned a 1990 Dodge Dynasty, lol. So feel free to post away.

The best fox body models(1979-1993) IMO is the 1990-1992. They have the best transmissions, 140 mph speedos, and larger wheel openings(to help clear pony rims), and mass-air meters. 89's are a very close second, with the 87's and 88's trailing a tick behind(Unit's gona have a field day with that comment

). None of the the 87-93 models are really "bad", I think you'll be happy with any of them.

stangfan80:

A slightly belated Hi, and welcome to Mustang Works Online magazine.

We have a great site...lots to see...and we're proud of our user-friendly message forums where you can get tech advice (Windsor Power) or just post whatever interests or concern you (right here on the Blue Oval Lounge).

If I were buying another 5.0 'Stang today I would seek a '91 or '92 model. All the improvements (transmission, especially) and things like 16" tires and 'Pony' wheels were standard, along with Mass Air and air bags. These would tend to have the lowest mileage, too.

Try for a stock Mustang, if possible. Less chance of buying someone else's mistake amd/or headache.

Good luck.

Thad · 02-25-2002, 04:37 PM

Welcome! This is an awesome group of people.
i like the later models 90-95. I have a 90 LX hatch. Which i love!
but it is smart to buy stock and build it up yourself so you know what you got and how it went together. I've been dealing with some problems with mine. It was already built up when i bought it and it's hard to diagnose the problem when you don't know all that is in it. Anyway You'll love it when you get it, bone stock or not!
