Gee, Sail Design, what was the problem with the 6cyl Mustangs? My 67 and 80 Mustangs were both inlines, and ran VERY reliably, and were fairly easy to tweak for more horsepower. The 80 got a ported head (not an easy job), and a oversize exhaust system, resulting in lots of power and great fuel mileage. Met its end when rear-ended by a big Dodge pigup towing a 5th-wheel. The 86, however, was a 4; yyaaawnnn...

The problem with this one was that a) it was my grandmother's, and therefore not well looked after, b) couldn't corner to save its life (and would rip the steering wheel out of your hands with every bump in the road). Needed a sandy road to get any wheelspin, but was a great "parking lot" car. Bright red, twin rounds, vinyl roof - very sharp-looking. A pain to drive.
