Justin Roberts' 1992 Ford Mustang LX 5.0 Hatchback
After more than a decade, Saratoga Springs family finds their Ford Mustang that ‘got away’.
If you’ve ever sold a car that you later wished you could get back, and you’re kicking yourself for letting it go years ago, maybe you can get it back. That’s a big maybe, but Justin Roberts’ Mustang story might give you hope.
In 2002, Roberts was a single 25-year-old living south of Sacramento, California. He paid $2,600 for a 1992 Ford Mustang LX Hatchback with the 5.0 engine, 5-speed, and a sunroof. It had a salvage title, which the seller said was because it had been stolen, not wrecked.
Roberts started modifying the bone-stock ‘Stang, upgrading the airflow coming in and out, the gears, and the sound system. He commuted in it, and drag raced it now and then at Sacramento Raceway.
