5.0L (1979-1995) MustangTechnical discussions on 5.0 Liter Mustangs within. This does not include the 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang GT. That information is in the 2005-1011 section.
Quick question, I'm shopping for a 88-93 GT and was wondering somethings that I need to look for. For example, what places tend to rust/rot and other things that could pose a problem in the future. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Just check inside the fenders and the undercarriage for extensive rust. I'd check the oil and air filter as well. That will let you know if they have been taking care of it or not.
either 5.0 mustang or muscle mustangs and ff just did an article within a year or so for things to look for when buying a used mustang. give me a day or so and i'll search through the mags and the site and post upthe artcles/links
look for cracks in the hatch area when you open it. body being twisted ( fenders and doors dont line up). look for any front end damage and stuff like that
