No not really I didn't experience any problems while driving except at idle. This made me very nervous every time I put my foot on the clutch coming to an intersection wondering if the engine was going to die on me I am aware of one possible ground fault in the lighting circuit for the...

I recently went through a long agonizing summer troubleshooting my ill 83 5.0 Foxbody which still had many original factory installed parts. Here is my story and I hope other older Mustang owners will find what I did to find and solve the issue helpful In the late spring I began experience...

I'm looking at taking my garage back and putting my Mustang in storage for the winter. Can anyone recommend a good safe storage facility in the metro area?

As an avid DSLR user that has been known to use my phone camera to capture an image (You use what you have available to capture that unique image of that brief moment in time) In my mind once you learn and am confident enough to take a DSLR camera out Auto Picture mode. The sense of control is...

Another couple tips If using a DSLR and you have an external flash or two don't be afraid to use it both indoors & out, even in bright sunlight. The flash will brighten shadows and when shooting indoors, bouncing the light off walls or ceiling helps balance the illumination Again while using a...

From a fellow amateur who is always looking for tips to improve his photography skills thanks for the tips especially when it comes to positioning of the front wheels Case in point, with the second pic you posted. If the front wheels were turned the other way, would have created the illusion of...

I did some searching around the Ford historical database for confirmation details of the Marti Report. I did find production records for the Model T along with 1930's Ford & Mercury products are available from Ford, but for records on post war 1940's to the present day vehicles there was a link...

Going on line and ordering the report is turning out to be the best 110 US I've spent in a while. Who knows there maybe more 1 of 1's out there. Especially Mustangs, Capri's LTD's, T-Birds & Cougars made for the Canadian Market during the transition to Metric

I recently received a complete copy of the Marti Report on my 83 4 Eyes and to say the least was pleasantly surprised with the report breakdown. According to advertized records from Ford used to generate the report it seems that there was only 1 Convertible built with the Engine, Power Train...

Thank you for the compliment. I have to admit adding the keyless entry module to a car does take a bit of DC electrical knowledge to install because the instructions that came with the kit are notoriously poor.

It's been a while since I've updated the thread with my progress on eliminating/adding to my "To Do" List One of the things I had to do was to repair the "Warped" Door panels and figure out why the passenger door lock was not working. You would be amazed how effective steam from a kettle, a...

Oh for sure on both counts. As a retired Marine Engineer who's not afraid to to get his hands or other parts of the body dirty and knows his way around machinery and tools. I'm looking forward to using my engineering skills to come up with what might be "unique fixes", doing as much of the work...

I didn't buy the car to have it ride a "Trailer" from show to show, I intend to drive the car as much as I can so doing a restomod cruiser is probably the way to go. I'll probably go with, performance/reliability upgrades like a set of Shorty headers & swapping the Holley Carburetor for a bolt...

Further to my original post I've since learned, from a tip on another forum and finding the original metal stamped body tags, that the car color is one of the 259 Silver Metallic Mustangs produced. I also found on line a pic of an identical vehicle showing a red pinstripe matching the interior...

Thanks everyone for the comments I know one shouldn't expect much when it comes to evaluating a classic vehicle based strictly on rarity as everything else to do with the car is very subjective and is always a bit of a gamble. However having said that, knowing the "Pony's Pedigree" (pardon the...

While searching around to find production information on my 83 5.0 GLX Mustang Convertible (Body Style Code P27F) I found the "Ford Mustang Red Book 1964 1/2 - 2015" book by Peter Sessler Does anyone know how accurate the production information is in the book? The book does have some information...

I read on line that a 93 Fox Body with 600 miles on it went to a Canadian Buyer for 120,000 last night

A shot of my 83 5.0 before it was put away for the winter. Can't wait for spring to arrive to get the pony out of the stable

Thanks for the comment I'd probably consider that if the engine was hurt in in any way ie burning oil or very high mileage. However with a tight, quiet, numbers matching engine & transmission, with just over 100,000K on it and having no desire to up the HP performance capacity to ridiculous...

Hi I'm thinking swapping the Holley Carb on my 83 Mustang with a FITeck 31003 series EFI kit. It's my understanding and from what I've read that this particular FITeck EFI unit is ideally suited for those wanting an upgrade for increased cruising reliability and performance Has anyone out there...
