The mustang will be fine as it is auto matic with a slipping tranny and a 4 cyl so i cant get into to much trouble. it also already has winter tires on it. Im looking to spend 500$ or less. im not looking for something that will last me 5 years, rather a winter or two. i am currently saving for my fs werk turbo so spending a lot on a beater isnt an option. i know theres plenty of cars out there for cheap, its just hard to find them.

Thing is though, a Stang is a horrible winter car from that era, even with winter shoes on.

You can be driving perfectly reasonable and sane, hit one small patch of black ice though and the car will swap ends faster than you can blink and with an auto tranny, that much harder to control.

While that might be fun to play with in an open area, on busy streets, not so much :ph34r:
