I’ve owned a 76 Mustang for years, living in Ontario. Heat in summer was brutal, had to swap out the AC for one from a newer model.

Oh, rust was a biggie – gotta stay on top of it. Had a great time keeping it on the road though, classic ride no doubt!

I’ve owned a ’76 Mustang in Texas, and man, those rust spots get ya no matter how careful you are. Had issues with the carb intake acting up, especially in humid weather.

Power steering leaking gas is another poppin’ problem that actually consumes once you start drivin’.
I’ve always had a thing for classic cars, and my '76 Ford Mustang was my pride and joy. Found it right here in Detroit—yeah, the Motor City. But let me tell ya, I had my share of headaches.

The beauty of the ride makes 'em worth the hassle, right?

I’ve owned a ‘76 Mustang up in Toronto, and man, they’ve got their quirks. Electrical issues are real, especially with those old wiring harnesses—lights going out or dashboard acting funky. Cooling system’s a pain too; overheating if you’re not careful. I’ve replaced the radiator, hoses, and just a few weeks back, funky exhaust sounds meant time for a new manifold. But honestly, nothing beats that drive, you know? It’s worth every wrench turn.

You genuinly feel alive behind the wheel.
