What are you trying to find out sis?

Problems?

Recalls?

Fuel Economy?

Performance?

Production figures?

Convertible top care? (which would be a question better asked here: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...?s=&forumid=27 )

Which??? (any or all, or even others I didn't mention)

Found the following recalls on 1988 Mustangs with the 2.3 Liter engine:

http://www.alldata.com/TSB/19/88191746.html

Alldata.com does not, however, list a recall on a 1984 Matthew Huber.
