Yeah I like the body style right after these. Probably won't get it just because it's a V8. I do like good gas mileage which is why I don't drive the Camino as it is. I hate those wheels though, they would be the first thing to go.

If you've never owned a 5.0 Mustang, I'd say get it. I think everyone should own at least one. Anything that is possibly wrong with the car can be fixed because there are SO many suppliers of parts. And the gas mileage will depend alot on HOW you drive the car, like most everything else. Have the car tuned up(if need be) and work on having the car run as good(not necessarily fast) as possible. DD for as long as you have to, and then you'll also have a car that can be as fast as you're willing(MONEY) to make it.

i dunno why youd dump a honda for a mustang for a DD. i couldnt see it having much more room than you have now. the back seats in those things are useless. the trunk in a del sol is pretty big even with the roof in there so it makes up for the fact that it doesnt have a rear seat.
for a DD its going to cost more in gas and tires will be more expensive. if anything id keep the other del sol S you picked up and use that is your DD then start wrenchin on the stang.
my old del sol S made a great DD, cheap tires, great on gas no matter how i drove it.

don't do it, you have no clue how many miles are on it, the top is going to need replaced, the 94-95 5.0's are super slow stock, but if you plan on modding it, it could be a good project due to the fact once you mod the 5.0 which is relatively cheap it will be pretty quick, and the body appears to be solid in his long distance photos. I just don't forsee it being a good daily driver, its probually had the crap beaten out of it

i wouldnt bother, its a good motor, the carb is useless, the intake i believe is useless unless you buy the upper, those wheels are stock as far as i know, with 3.73 gears it wont get horrible milage, but it is still a V8, would be a fun car to make go fast, but i dont like that style so i wouldnt bother myself

I was reading the description, and Stop Leak is a ------- NO.
Prepare (after a cooling system flush) to more than likely be pulling out the heater core, it will stop it up in no time. There's been two cars come into work in the past week that had that ---- put through them, beware.

its a vert, unless youre a girl its a bad trade. i mean a del sol is a girls car but its more manly then a vert mustang. nothing screams prom queen more then a convertible mustang.
