    My 5.0 LX died... help!

    So here's the deal: I have my 89 5.0 LX for sale and let a guy take it out for test drive this afternoon. He had it out for about 15 minutes when for no reason, the car died.

    5.0 LX... what to look for when buying?

    I've been a closet Mustang fan for years and am finally thinking of picking up an 80's 5.0L LX 5-speed coupe to play with. I'm not terribly familiar with the cars so I'd appreciate hearing what I should be looking out for when inspecting a car for sale and what years are preferred and why...
