Highlights: Even the lamest Z28 powertrain, the auto w/ 2.73, still drives well and is reasonably quick.
This video reminds everyone that as the years go by, especially as the cars change owners and aren't cared for, you're left with pretty much just a good powertrain with few other redeeming qualities.
That said, many POS issues on these are still totally repairable, and not wallet-busting, if you can get off your ass and turn a few wrenches. For example, the slow windows on this one. They all do it. It can be fixed if you care enough. Also, this one had a nuisance low coolant light. Guess what? My 95 did that, as well. The fix? Replace the coolant level sensor in the passenger side radiator end tank ($35-$63 on RockAuto). It's not that hard.
None of this changes the fact that these cars were built to a price to be fast and cheap, which is fine if you can accept them for what they are.

More like 1995 if you still consider the Mustang Cobra a Mustang.The Ford 302 was an outdated Windsor block that began in 1962 and was kept alive all the way to 1993 or 1994 depending on how you argue about it.

More like 2001 if you consider the Ford Explorer/Mountaineer.
