The 1981 Ford Mustang retained the same look as its fellow third generation Mustangs, but featured fewer engine choices. The 2.8-liter V6 was no longer an option. However, the 3.3-liter V6 was now rated at 91 horsepower.
Some of the aftermarket additions included installing a replica T-top from the late 70's.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1981 Ford Mustang have mixed feelings about their vehicles. Many appreciated the classic looks and the fun of driving it, although they noted that performance could be lacking, particularly with the engine options available. Several reviewers mentioned the need for repairs, highlighting issues such as the head gasket and transmission. The car is seen as enjoyable for those who are handy with mechanics but not ideal for everyone."
This was my second Mustang, and it was the only one worth taking a picture of. I enjoyed driving it around, but the weak 255 ci V8 mated with the 3 speed auto was not exactly fast! It looked the part though. It cost me too much to own while attending high school.
January 13, 2008Handling is terrible but what do you expect from an old ass mustang. Acceleration aint bad for a straight six motor. Brakes work like a charm after you replace the entire set-up. Alot more power if you swap from the stock single barrel to the holley two barrel.
April 14, 2008First car , parents gone for the summer, by the end it would burn all the oil from the oil pan faster than i could put it in, it went for 1 month, without any oil !! was good in feilds out by E.L Smith water treatment plant, worked great until the transmission blew up
