I owned a Pony in the early 1990's exactly like the one pictured. I bought it for $2000 with about 10K on the odometer frm a police staff sergeant who was very big to get behind the wheel and rarely ever drove it. It was a pretty good car. I installed an aftermarket Crane Cams electronic multi spark ignition and it had a bit for power . Driven carefully on the highway it would give almost 50mpg (Imperial gallons) and never used much oil. One one trip while travelling on an almost empty Interterstate 75 in nothern Michigan I put the pedal to the floor on a long downhill grade and the speedometer registered 160MPH. The plastic heater control valve over the gas pedal once split and the antifreeze spilled down and scalded my right foot. This was a common failing. I sold it to the my son's girlfriend and she drove it into the ground. Rust was a problem even with Oil Gard every year of the 4 years I owned the car. I never had any mechanical problems. All in all not the best or worst car I ever owned.
