-88-93 Mustang GT.
-88-94 Bronco. Could be fun.
-88-95 Wrangler. Not sure how to feel about that one.

Power isnt so much a "must have." I just want her to experience how a true american V8 feels and sounds. That way its not so much of a hassle when Im trying to talk her into getting a 2007 GTO.

Hell yeah to the f bodies. Would have no problem with the monte carlo thats a nice car. As for the mustang one of my favourite sayings applies....speed kills, buy a ford, live forever! And the bronco and wrangler? Different category all together.

When looking to buy one, try and find one garage kept, adult owned, and fairly low mileage. Ive been through 4 3rd gens and from first hand experience, the first one and the one I have now were adult owned and garage kept, and I have never had any major problems, just maintenace stuff (hoses, radiator, etc). My other 2 were bought from younger guys, and they were both headaches! Just a little side track, but one of the camaros I bought from a younger guy (91 350 tpi) I lost 3rd and 4th gear on the first day I bought it! So just be careful from who you buy from.

Well having owned 1-87 2-88 1-89 1-92 1-83 I would say the 92 was built the best.The put more welds and fixed more seams that year to make it more sold.After that my 83 was the most solid out of my 3rd gens go figure.

just make sure you don't get one with huge amounts of milage, because expect to do some work, especially those heavy oil burning 305's with like 200,000 miles
