I think the horseshoe theory is ********. Years ago, I nailed a horseshoe to my drywall in my garage for good luck, only to have that piece of **** metal vibrate off the wall and dent my brand new 1981 Mustang. Yes, it was installed with the ends up.
It tipped over and the luck fell out

Na, my Mustang was cool, and had T Tops, like this one. Last Ford I ever owned.
What motor
It was the small v-8, not a 302, but smaller.

Nope: 1981 was a 255cid engine, 4.2 Liter... (A dog at 115 hp )

8.) Ford 4.2 V8
Why It Was Horrible: Originally stuck in the 1980's Fox body Mustangs, the Ford 4.2 V8 was another dog of an engine. Choked by emissions equipment, it produced only 120 horsepower off the lot. The car was also offered with a turbocharged inline-4, which almost produced more power. More power from half as many cylinders? Ford, you screwed up.

But it was a cool looking car.....until I wore white pants to a wedding and was driving in the rain and when I turned a corner, then t tops leaked black dirt and water onto my pants. I sold it soon after when the dealer could not guarantee they could fix those t tops.
