It is common to find buyers of the Ford Mustang enthusiastic about their purchase. The Mustang has been one of the premier vehicles of the Ford line for over ten years. It is an important car and the 1992 model is no exception. The Ford Mustang falls into the convertible for the family category. The Mustang inspires brand loyalty, and it's not unusual to have a buyer purchase Fords year after year

Under the Hood

Standard equipment in the Mustang for 1991 and 1992 includes the 2.3 liter engine by Ford, weighing in at 4 cylinders and eight valves. A 5-speed Standard Transmission puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Convertible arena.

The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The Mustang is 179.60 inches long, 68.30 inches wide, and 52.10 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 100.50 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1992 (MSRP) was $16,899, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is on target the industry average price for a two-door Convertible.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1992 Mustang is a EFI system, running on gasoline . The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The 15.40-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.

The 1992 Mustang gets 28 - 30 miles/gallon on the highway and only 21 - 22 in the city. This is subpar for a convertible car.

We Think...

There are several reasons why the Ford Mustang LX sold well in 1992. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Ford, specifically a Mustang.
