i think with a really good set of winter tires (studded if you can get them) you'd get around on messy ploughed or sanded roads, but you're probably gonna be sitting home before the plough trucks go by. My guess is that any time you hit resistance (i.e. mound of snow from a plow etc.) you're forward progress will be slowed and it will be a pain to get going again. Merker: you grandpa was right, but most of the older cars had much less HP than a mustang GT so the wouldn't spin the wheels like crazy. My RWD Volvo is passable in the snow (I also put 2 25 lb bags or rock salt in the trunk), but it only has a little under 200 ft/lbs of torque so it's harder to break the tires away. I would also check to see the size of tires you can fit on a Mustang. They have wide, low profile tires, and good snows are usually taller and narrower, so you'll have to check the clearances. just my $.02 for now.
