Ford Mustang
Ford’s Pony Car was a smash hit when it hit the market in 1964, but the second-generation model released in the 70s, not so much. The third generation of the Mustang was much improved, and sold from 1979 to 1993. In the 80s, it was available as a coupe, a hatchback and a convertible, and a very popular trim level was the LX 5.0, which boasted a 4.9-litre V8 engine at a low price. The Mustang GT was also desirable, while the V8 mill produced as much as 225 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
