I’ve had several. When I was in high school I used to sell and buy a different one every summer. Back then you could scoop up a nice original one for 3-5 thousand bucks. In 2004 I bought my favorite one, 91’ notch, vermillion red with factory all black interior and the premium sound with the original equalizer still working flawlessly. It had 54,000 original miles. 5 speed. Factory ponies. I paid $5,300 for it. I sold it in 2006 for $5,700. Never thought I’d sound like my father but nearly everyday I say “damn I shouldn’t have sold that car!”
The sound!!! To this day still one of the best sounding motors ever produced. I remeber the sound of them driving by in high school & the sound is at least half the reason I bought mine. ‘88 Black LX, untouched - kept them cassette player even. Motley Crue on deck - send it 🦊🚗💨🤙🏻
It's not the engine that gives the Fox Mustang it's sound. The engine is just a nirmal 302 that Ford has made since 1967. I have owned a few Fox bodies and infact still own my 1982 GT that I bought brand new in 82. It currently has a 392 stroker in it and it has the unique sound that only a Fox has. They sound the way they do because of the acoustics of the body. You can hear one and know what it is without seeing it. Love the sound!!!!
I've owned my 34K mile '93 GT for 27 years, and taught my daughter how to drive a manual transmission with it, Centerforce clutch and all! She loves it, and so do I!
I had to add one more comment. One thing I love about owning this car is that once a stock foxbody is modded. Number one its hard to stop because you usually see some serious results with most of the common mods we do like gears, heads cam, and intake and headers but these cars get stupid fast really quick. I have embarrased many want to be contenders and still do in some cases. these cars usually will have you smiling from ear to ear.
I own a few of them now that I'm older. The best part is passing on the hands on knowledge of turning wrenches with my son. It's crazy how a passion for a car, can go on to another generation.
I bought mine in June 1985 a new 5.0 notch at age 31. Cost was 9500 with dealer installed 3.73 gear. Never used as a daily driver but just my project car. I still have it today 38 years now!
I’ve been blessed! My factory engine went 2017!? My buddy had a spare in his garage! We decided to rebuild it & took the best parts off both engines added a E303 cam! Talk about a beautiful sounding engine! I’ve had my 89 since 1993! My dad helped me get it! And I paid him back every penny! To show my appreciation! It’s now sentimental & I’m hoping to restore it!🤔🙏🏽🤘🏼🤙🏽💪
What I love most about my foxbody is that its super easy to work on. After looking at my reciepts. I purchase so many parts from LMR that I need to move back to WACO. LMR has been a life savor for having parts for this car that you just can't get from the dealer or even Autozone in most cases. And now they have the splash guards OMG I been needing those for 20 years. Number one. if a person acquires a foxbody, they will definitely need something from LMR that was broken. we all have had the famous busted dash bezel. busted ashtray. sagging doors, door lock actuators going bad. busted seat ripped from the metal. nasty looking carpet. body molding or window stripping or window guide issues. LMR has all of the parts to fix these common issues as well as so many after market parts. I bet they can pull my buyers record and say yep (Mark Underwood) he bought a lot stuff. I will continue too. Thank God for LMR because I was about to let this car go because of the annoying small issues. My car has been fitted with Canfield Aluminum heads, Comp Cam 555 int 565 exh. 276/282 112 lobe center camshaft. 1.6 ford racing roller rockers. comp cam 7.350 length harden push rods , Black magic extreme electric fan, MSD Digital 6AL, MSD igntion coil .

Its so many more misc things that needs to be done and repair but LMR has been my number go to store for my foxbody needs.

I bought my first fox Mustang in 99 and still have it to this day. Rarely drive it but it is nice to know these are going up in value. My buddy had a 85 GT with T-Tops and what really got me to acquire one was when I first heard the Flowmaster exhaust. I was sold. To this day, I never heard a better sounding V8 than a 302 with Flowmasters. Great video!
10:30 when you started talking about sentimental value its true, my dad had an 87 gt hatch and seeing photos of that car made me wanna go buy one and then i finally found my 91 lx hatch and now my little brother is collecting all 1.64 scale cars of foxbodys because of me which makes me think he will get one too someday. Its something about these cars that are super special that makes everyone want one because they saw someone drive one. Will seriously never forget the day that when i finally got my first car 2 years ago and i was driving around and some guy in a cammed loud foxbody rolled up and i was just in awe as my car shook next to his because how loud it was, that memory and my dads 87 are why i have a foxbody mustang
Thank you guys @late model restoration for supplying great parts. I got my 1986 last year and ive been waiting 13 years to buy it. Sat in a barn for 25! Original 38k miles. Unfortunately the motor was blown up qnd it got replaced with a new high output 402. Did a cam,full lenth headers, Edelbrock Victor x, Holley dominator ,billet distributor and alot more! Full custom fuel system. All parts sourced from lmr. Blew the transmission up with the new motor. Put a brand new clutch kit and transmission back in. Now im rebuilding the rear end with your guys yukon axles!keep up the good work on parts supply. Ill be back for alot more.
I hated these cars growing up because I had the older ones. As I grew older I started to respect and understand how important they are to keeping the Mustang name alive. Now I love them and will soon own a 91GT and I can't wait 😊
I’m 18 years old and just bought my first 1991 foxbody and I couldn’t be more in love with it, this video was amazing and super educating for a young, new fox body owner like me.

I’m 20 years old with my own foxbody I’ve had for about a year now and I can honestly say these cars are truly amazing from paint to springs. I’m in the process of converting my 2.3 into potentially a V8 or even better but it’s a slow process for sure it’s a journey I have had a lot of turns with but I don’t think I could ever let it go for any price unless it was another fox lol.
Had a 96GT but sold it when I went in service. Now I've got a 2016 GT with all kinds of goodies under the hood, exterior, interior, etc but have always loved the foxbodies. Finally found one of my favorite color combos on a 93 GT, electric red with grey skirting. It's practically a stock ride which makes it even better. Patiently waiting for its delivery. Keep up the awesome work guys.
So true….almost got out of this hobby some time ago when things were tight. Many of the same reasons you fellows mention is why I kept with it and so, so glad I did.
I rode to school in a 79 302 boss pace car,had to buy myself an 82 gt,then a 79 4cyl turbo pace car,now I drive a fox body swapped 92 probe gt,I love it...
So damn popular yet nobody makes the hatchback glass trim piece. I mean, 1st company to make it will make a killing. I need a replacement,and so do many of my foxbody club friends. I truly hope LMR makes this replacement I've bought from them for over 8 years, and always recommend them.
Saleen yes but no Mention of DECH Mustang at all as is my favourite Fox Kit ?DECH “Aero kit” for 1979-1993 Foxbody Mustangs. First Mustang was an 82 Gt 4 speed with an 84 cobra engine what a blast - learned how to drive manual on this car and when I look back with no traction and abs WOW how did we survive lol. Love all those fox Ponies \\\ /// Great video LMR
I have an 88 mustang gt foxbody. And man I love that car. I wanted one sense high school. Now I have one and I have always been a big fan of the foxbody mustang and always will.
I’m a product of the 60s and have a soft spot for the muscle cars of the heyday. Every manufacturer had something cool to drool over and I was a fan of a bunch of them but the Mustang was always my favorite all around. Through the years I’ve had 31 of them from a 66 Coupe on up. I currently own a new Mustang GT with some bolt ons, and 2 Foxes; a four eye Coupe and a 91 GT. It’s a hobby I’ve enjoyed for most of my life and thanks to LMR for helping !!!
I bought brand new off the lot Regatta blue Mustang LX with the GT options. I asked for a rear window defroster and a cruise control. I heated the 5.0 emblems up with a blow dryer and pulled them off. On the back I redid the Mustang emblem to read- MustBeA302. I killed 3 transmissions in the first year, under warranty and they hated to see me. I had so much fun street racing with very minor mods as most people ran stock back then. 27 MPG on the highway and would screech the tires at 65 if you dropped to 2nd and a quick upshift to 3rd. My sisters kid saw it at a 4th of July party, so I did some burnouts with my nephew and his friends watching. By the Thanksgiving party, there where 5 other Mustangs in the hood, LOL. Ah yeah, the good ol days
I got my license about the time the GT40 dealer package hit the cruising streets. Mustangs already had the power to weight ratio that got police dept's to consider using them for pursuit, but here in the snow belt you only had older cars known for their performance--the 1970's was the spoiler and stripe package era. You had to prove your King Cobra or 1980 Z28 or 1979 Dodge Charger from that era deserved its place in meritocracy. But the Foxbody was like the 1964 GTO, which was affordable compared to 409 Impalas and 427 Galaxies of 1964. Then Ford added in the GT40 parts program, and it was like 1955 with Chevy's Power Pack program. Now you didn't have to worry about buying a part that didn't fit your low deck Windsor because it was meant for a Cleveland or a Midland or a tall deck 351W. when they became used, they had a 4 link suspension, light weight, and there were a plethora of speed parts out there. Again, like owning a 55 chevy during the early 1960's--you could give the early muscle cars a run for their money if you knew how to turn a wrench. And everyone knew what you owned a Mustang for--not because you could carry engines home in the hatchback, not because the four banger got good gas mileage. You bought it to build it and have the faster car in school or at work. It was testosterone on four wheels.
Have the 82 GT my parents bought new. Never gettin rid of it. I'm 47. Learned to drive it when I was 8. My dad used to take me to parking lots and taught me how to drive a manual transmission.
Awesome video. The passion is still high and appreciative for the fox body. LMR appreciate your understanding and value of the cars we all grew loving and still working on that next race car.🎉
This is a great video. I've always loved these vehicles and are one of my favorite Mustangs other than a few of the classics. There is such an opportunity to modify them and have fun with them. You really can build them into anything you want. I've been debating getting one for my channel to build up and test parts with.
Loved my 1st '93 5.0 convertible but didnt take care of it. I was in my early 20's and I regret it. Now I've found my new baby a couple of years ago. 1993 5.0 with (48,000) miles. Looked on the internet one day for hours and I'm on the west coast. Got it from Massachusetts and a smog slip from 2011 in the glove box said it had 40,111 miles. NO RUST and interior is flawless
Just picked up my 2nd fox for 1k! Not a single dent and has only am egr engine code. Paint is smoked but the rest is in great shape. Even has the map light that works!
Im proud to be a foxbody owner thank you lmr for your production. it means the world to me besides my mom . Thank you for your team and my mustang is a real treat. If it wasnt for lmr i would not have the mustang i have today 🤑🤩
I owned 3 of them,the most fun bang for buck car ever made. My first and second car was a fox and my last car b4 now was a fox,lol. Had a 94gt and a 96 cobra and my fox blew my cobra way,lol
I'm going to hold on to mine for some time to see what the market does, most of these cars are kept tucked away in some guys garage, gutted and turned into a drag car, or someone's halfway finished project car! In my area only me and 2 other ppl have clean foxbody's 😎! I see them drives theirs around about 5 times a year lol
gotta keep them off the streets cause these assholes don’t know how to drive. can’t imagine mine being rear ended so i keep it off the streets as much as possible😔😔
I’m glad I’ve cut my modifications modest. I want to keep it as close to stock as possible. I have a 89 gt convertible with 95k. The only non OEM part is the exhaust ( American thunders)
The following of the Fox Body is huge. I graduated HS in 1990 and had a few friends that had the 90 LX notch. My HS crush got a new 90 Saleen Mustang for her graduation present from her dad. That made her an even bigger crush and I wasn't sure if it was her or the car at that point. I'm fortunate enough now to own a 92 LX Notch my pops owned and sold back in 2019. I found the buyer and bought it back after my pops passed away last year. It only has 83k miles and looks great in my 3rd garage bay. The joy of firing up the 5.0 with Magnaflow straight pipes is insane. Def one of the best muscle cars I've ever owned. My Fox Body th-cam.com/video/UwP65Dec7IE/w-d-xo.html
I bought my 88 LX hatch 5.0 in 1993 and still have it today . Small upgrades on it but pretty much stock. is due for some body work and another repaint.
Can’t wait to be buying parts from y’all, looking for a foxbody in my price range but haven’t found it yet, looking for a roller, have to do all the work my self to afford it
I’ve had a bunch of foxes!!! From a four eyed 1984 gt turbo hatch to an 88 gt vert then several coupes, gt’s and even a 1993 5.0 black with black interior coupe I let go of because it was a project at a bad time in my life🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ but now have a rare 1985 factory T-Top coupe with capri fenders as a roller I’m fixing up to keep👍🏻👍🏻
I got a 2002 New Edge GT and those been jumping up in value over the past few years as well, 6 years ago you could get one all day for $3,500 and now most of them are above $8,000 ...
Great video 🤘🏽funny fact, the pic at 2:15 is one I took at Bill Brown Ford in Livonia Michigan back in 1989 for my photography class in high school, I still have the original with many other dealer photos. 😂
My mother ordered a 1981 mustang Ghia with V8 engine, T Roof, air conditioning . The price was $8,000.00 plus. She loved the car. We had the car restored, mainly cosmetic, still has original parts, the body is in good condition. Today the car has less than 94,000 miles. It’s a gas hog, about 18 to 19 miles per gallon. I find interesting to see how you folks like the fox body mustang as many times when I mention the car, many people thing is not an interesting car. Good to know that they are appreciated by some.
Great fox video fella's i wrenched on many in ford dealers and i bought new a silver/gray 2 tone 89 gt manual and a new 90 sho taurus on the same note and payment and a new 90 f-150 on another payment all from jim skinner ford in b'ham, al.. Bitch was they sold fords cheaper than the dealer i worked for as skinner was a high volume dealer. Both the sho and gt were fun drivers, the f-150 was a $10,990 out the door 300 i-6 5 speed manual xlt.. The dealer i worked for threatned to fire me for not buying from them but when i said fine an hit them with a i'll contact my lawyer they cooled down. they sold the same truck asking 16,000 were i paid 10,990 as they would come down from msrp. Also adding the fraudulent addendium sticker crap selling customers floor mats that came in the car to start with, fake cloth and paint protection and the old etched windows scam, all this shoved up your A$$ without grease for an addional 3,600 bucks over msrp. i would have paid $15,000 dollars or more from them on the same 3 vehicles 5000 each more plus gobbs more in interest.
The reason is Dennis Collins selling his collection on Barrett Jackson. Now every guy with a half clapped out 89 GT thinks he has a 10k ride. What they fail to realize is that his cars were very low mile and low number low mile specialty cars, also sold at the biggest car auction on the planet to millionaires.
Truth... $500 rollers became 3-5k over night. Still find my fair share of clapped out ones cheap but most " clean" ones I've looked at still need thousands in repairs.
@@nothanks81 Yep, before that auction aired you could get a very decent Fox Body for $3,500 to $4,000(around here anyway) and a damn near mint one for 7, the next day they doubled in price. Now I see extremely rough ones that haven't ran in years and don't even roll for 3 grand.
Very good video and I myself can personally relate to all of these topics.had an 84 with t-tops,then an 89 lx,then a 90 lx and lastly my 93 coyote swap.which is by far my favorite.
Ive been buying from yall for the past few months while restoring and giving my car more power, yalls products are awesome but I do suggest more interior restoration parts like the entire center console being a big suggestion!
The reason it’s rising in $$ is cause us kids that didn’t have the $ or a license etc back then , have big $$$$$ and big businesses now and can afford the toys of our youth no matter what the $ is. FAX!
I’ve had several. When I was in high school I used to sell and buy a different one every summer. Back then you could scoop up a nice original one for 3-5 thousand bucks. In 2004 I bought my favorite one, 91’ notch, vermillion red with factory all black interior and the premium sound with the original equalizer still working flawlessly. It had 54,000 original miles. 5 speed. Factory ponies. I paid $5,300 for it. I sold it in 2006 for $5,700. Never thought I’d sound like my father but nearly everyday I say “damn I shouldn’t have sold that car!”
Awesome story .
I’ve had 2 GT’s. 79 and 86 with T Tops. My 79 was a 2.3 Turbo. I’ve only seen one other in all of these years.
@@AshyLarryTM sweet
@@AshyLarryTM so what years were your two gt models?
Lol just got 1 for 30
The sound!!! To this day still one of the best sounding motors ever produced. I remeber the sound of them driving by in high school & the sound is at least half the reason I bought mine. ‘88 Black LX, untouched - kept them cassette player even. Motley Crue on deck - send it 🦊🚗💨🤙🏻

I picked my daughter up from school today in my 89 1/2 and I realized I was blasting 80's Metal. The dad in the minivan next to me looked so sad.😂😂
UNIQUE SOUND... THE BEST
I've owned my 34K mile '93 GT for 27 years, and taught my daughter how to drive a manual transmission with it, Centerforce clutch and all! She loves it, and so do I!
Had a 88 Coupe, 89 LX Hatch, 92 GT, and a 93 GT…all of them were incredible!!!

They really do. The second you do gears, then you do HCI, then a new fuel system. It just keeps going and going.
Lol that's awesome
😂 got a new rear end with a junk yard 302 replacement stock motor … after the new rear end feels like a monster wonder what a real motor would be like
I own a few of them now that I'm older. The best part is passing on the hands on knowledge of turning wrenches with my son. It's crazy how a passion for a car, can go on to another generation.

Stick with it man. I started with a $1,500 Fox and now mine would be worth approx $25k. Enjoy.
Sitting here on the side of the road at work watching this video on break and what drives by on a trailer? A clean Foxbody notch. I'll be dipped!
That's awesome lol Thank you for watching, Bryce!
Had a 96GT but sold it when I went in service. Now I've got a 2016 GT with all kinds of goodies under the hood, exterior, interior, etc but have always loved the foxbodies.

That dark metallic blue Capri you keep showing in the video is totally awesome!
Had mine since Oct 2012. Coming up on 10 years ownership soon! 1987 GT Convertible. Just hit 65k original miles. I have much love for these cars.
I was looking for an IROC when a buddy said to go test drive a fox. 3 foxes later (Still have 2), and a Terminator... I'm a happy feller!
Great video!

i just bought a 93 lx for 2,500 bucks, runs and drives 4 cyl. i love it. plan on swapping a 351w in it later ddown the road
I rode to school in a 79 302 boss pace car,had to buy myself an 82 gt,then a 79 4cyl turbo pace car,now I drive a fox body swapped 92 probe gt,I love it...
I've got an 89 lx with a 5.0 ebay single turbo swap... And a 90gt with eBay twin turbo kit... I love my foxes
Also a youtube channel.. Go check it out! Giveaway of BBK headers for foxbody 5.0
Wow its nice to see jmac . I wondered where he went . Glad he is still with lmr ! 👍
Love the foxbody Mustangs. The best 👌
I have a 98 mustang but I absolutely adore the foxbody and will get one eventually lol
So damn popular yet nobody makes the hatchback glass trim piece. I mean, 1st company to make it will make a killing. I need a replacement,and so do many of my foxbody club friends. I truly hope LMR makes this replacement I've bought from them for over 8 years, and always recommend them.
Saleen yes but no Mention of DECH Mustang at all as is my favourite Fox Kit ?DECH “Aero kit” for 1979-1993 Foxbody Mustangs. First Mustang was an 82 Gt 4 speed with an 84 cobra engine what a blast - learned how to drive manual on this car and when I look back with no traction and abs WOW how did we survive lol. Love all those fox Ponies \\\ /// Great video LMR
Oh yeah! Foxbody for ever👍👍👍👍☝️☝️☝️
I remember when they were new. They were everywhere. Seemed like everyone had a 303 cam , headers, gears. Sounded sweet with those flowmasters!
Yes! I remember the E303 cam. I can almost remember the sound.
Nice Svo in the background there very good for a fun daily driver
Still have my first car from HS 1969Camaro but just started on project Fox 1991 LX hatch was a 2.3 now a 5.3 I just love these cars!
Another great video!
I have an 88 mustang gt foxbody. And man I love that car. I wanted one sense high school. Now I have one and I have always been a big fan of the foxbody mustang and always will.
Glad I snagged my 4 eye right before this latest inflation hike
I'm doing a 87' GT right now....rebuild the original 302 with few upgrades, its my 4th one in my life... no plans to sell it... very nice cars....
I’m a product of the 60s and have a soft spot for the muscle cars of the heyday. Every manufacturer had something cool to drool over and I was a fan of a bunch of them but the Mustang was always my favorite all around. Through the years I’ve had 31 of them from a 66 Coupe on up. I currently own a new Mustang GT with some bolt ons, and 2 Foxes; a four eye Coupe and a 91 GT. It’s a hobby I’ve enjoyed for most of my life and thanks to LMR for helping !!!
Thank you for watching, Skip! We are happy to help!
I bought brand new off the lot Regatta blue Mustang LX with the GT options. I asked for a rear window defroster and a cruise control. I heated the 5.0 emblems up with a blow dryer and pulled them off. On the back I redid the Mustang emblem to read- MustBeA302. I killed 3 transmissions in the first year, under warranty and they hated to see me. I had so much fun street racing with very minor mods as most people ran stock back then. 27 MPG on the highway and would screech the tires at 65 if you dropped to 2nd and a quick upshift to 3rd. My sisters kid saw it at a 4th of July party, so I did some burnouts with my nephew and his friends watching. By the Thanksgiving party, there where 5 other Mustangs in the hood, LOL. Ah yeah, the good ol days
1986
Great video! Good to see J Mac.
Thanks for watching!
I got my license about the time the GT40 dealer package hit the cruising streets. Mustangs already had the power to weight ratio that got police dept's to consider using them for pursuit, but here in the snow belt you only had older cars known for their performance--the 1970's was the spoiler and stripe package era. You had to prove your King Cobra or 1980 Z28 or 1979 Dodge Charger from that era deserved its place in meritocracy. But the Foxbody was like the 1964 GTO, which was affordable compared to 409 Impalas and 427 Galaxies of 1964. Then Ford added in the GT40 parts program, and it was like 1955 with Chevy's Power Pack program. Now you didn't have to worry about buying a part that didn't fit your low deck Windsor because it was meant for a Cleveland or a Midland or a tall deck 351W.
when they became used, they had a 4 link suspension, light weight, and there were a plethora of speed parts out there. Again, like owning a 55 chevy during the early 1960's--you could give the early muscle cars a run for their money if you knew how to turn a wrench. And everyone knew what you owned a Mustang for--not because you could carry engines home in the hatchback, not because the four banger got good gas mileage. You bought it to build it and have the faster car in school or at work. It was testosterone on four wheels.
Landan knows his stuff, very knowledgeable! Great videos!
Have the 82 GT my parents bought new. Never gettin rid of it. I'm 47. Learned to drive it when I was 8. My dad used to take me to parking lots and taught me how to drive a manual transmission.
Awesome video.
The passion is still high and appreciative for the fox body.
LMR appreciate your understanding and value of the cars we all grew loving and still working on that next race car.🎉
We live and breathe the same passion for these cars. Thank you for watching!
This is a great video. I've always loved these vehicles and are one of my favorite Mustangs other than a few of the classics. There is such an opportunity to modify them and have fun with them. You really can build them into anything you want.
I've been debating getting one for my channel to build up and test parts with.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved my 1st '93 5.0 convertible but didnt take care of it. I was in my early 20's and I regret it. Now I've found my new baby a couple of years ago. 1993 5.0 with (48,000) miles. Looked on the internet one day for hours and I'm on the west coast. Got it from Massachusetts and a smog slip from 2011 in the glove box said it had 40,111 miles. NO RUST and interior is flawless
Heck yay. Foxbody Mustang's!
love to see a new edge type vido like this
Just picked up my 2nd fox for 1k! Not a single dent and has only am egr engine code. Paint is smoked but the rest is in great shape. Even has the map light that works!
Im proud to be a foxbody owner thank you lmr for your production. it means the world to me besides my mom . Thank you for your team and my mustang is a real treat. If it wasnt for lmr i would not have the mustang i have today 🤑🤩
I owned 3 of them,the most fun bang for buck car ever made. My first and second car was a fox and my last car b4 now was a fox,lol. Had a 94gt and a 96 cobra and my fox blew my cobra way,lol
I had a 89 in 1996 as a first car. I took the DPD on a chase and they rammed into the back. It was the summer All Eyez on Me came out.
My top 5 Foxbodies
1. 93 cobra R
2. 89 Saleen SSC
3. 84 gt350
4. 79 indy pace car
5. 86 SVO
Bonus. 93 calypso LX 5.0 w/ grey cloth interior (oh baby)
I'm going to hold on to mine for some time to see what the market does, most of these cars are kept tucked away in some guys garage, gutted and turned into a drag car, or someone's halfway finished project car! In my area only me and 2 other ppl have clean foxbody's 😎! I see them drives theirs around about 5 times a year lol
Fingers crossed!
gotta keep them off the streets cause these assholes don’t know how to drive. can’t imagine mine being rear ended so i keep it off the streets as much as possible😔😔
I’m glad I’ve cut my modifications modest. I want to keep it as close to stock as possible. I have a 89 gt convertible with 95k. The only non OEM part is the exhaust ( American thunders)
I got 88 GT very all stock and very clean. Just got it few months ago
It was a great Cruise-in can’t wait for 2023 👌🏽😉
🙌🤘
My first was an 81 Capri, 4cyl auto fast back... recently got an 88 vert to build with my boy, 5.0 auto, last on the road in 2010...
The following of the Fox Body is huge. I graduated HS in 1990 and had a few friends that had the 90 LX notch. My HS crush got a new 90 Saleen Mustang for her graduation present from her dad. That made her an even bigger crush and I wasn't sure if it was her or the car at that point. I'm fortunate enough now to own a 92 LX Notch my pops owned and sold back in 2019. I found the buyer and bought it back after my pops passed away last year. It only has 83k miles and looks great in my 3rd garage bay. The joy of firing up the 5.0 with Magnaflow straight pipes is insane. Def one of the best muscle cars I've ever owned.

Damn its good to see jmac back
I bought my 88 LX hatch 5.0 in 1993 and still have it today . Small upgrades on it but pretty much stock. is due for some body work and another repaint.
Can’t wait to be buying parts from y’all, looking for a foxbody in my price range but haven’t found it yet, looking for a roller, have to do all the work my self to afford it
I’ve had a bunch of foxes!!! From a four eyed 1984 gt turbo hatch to an 88 gt vert then several coupes, gt’s and even a 1993 5.0 black with black interior coupe I let go of because it was a project at a bad time in my life🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ but now have a rare 1985 factory T-Top coupe with capri fenders as a roller I’m fixing up to keep👍🏻👍🏻
I got a 2002 New Edge GT and those been jumping up in value over the past few years as well, 6 years ago you could get one all day for $3,500 and now most of them are above $8,000 ...
Clean new edge mustangs are around 4 to 5k in texas. Some are higher but average is 4 to 5
Great video.
Great video 🤘🏽funny fact, the pic at 2:15 is one I took at Bill Brown Ford in Livonia Michigan back in 1989 for my photography class in high school, I still have the original with many other dealer photos. 😂
Awesome episode!!!!
My mother ordered a 1981 mustang Ghia with V8 engine, T Roof, air conditioning . The price was $8,000.00 plus. She loved the car. We had the car restored, mainly cosmetic, still has original parts, the body is in good condition. Today the car has less than 94,000 miles. It’s a gas hog, about 18 to 19 miles per gallon. I find interesting to see how you folks like the fox body mustang as many times when I mention the car, many people thing is not an interesting car. Good to know that they are appreciated by some.
Me and my friends are hitting our forties and we want our old cars back
Huge fan of yalls.im huge Ford fan.keep you the good work.🏁🏁
Outstanding video boys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great fox video fella's i wrenched on many in ford dealers and i bought new a silver/gray 2 tone 89 gt manual and a new 90 sho taurus on the same note and payment and a new 90 f-150 on another payment all from jim skinner ford in b'ham, al.. Bitch was they sold fords cheaper than the dealer i worked for as skinner was a high volume dealer. Both the sho and gt were fun drivers, the f-150 was a $10,990 out the door 300 i-6 5 speed manual xlt.. The dealer i worked for threatned to fire me for not buying from them but when i said fine an hit them with a i'll contact my lawyer they cooled down. they sold the same truck asking 16,000 were i paid 10,990 as they would come down from msrp. Also adding the fraudulent addendium sticker crap selling customers floor mats that came in the car to start with, fake cloth and paint protection and the old etched windows scam, all this shoved up your A$$ without grease for an addional 3,600 bucks over msrp. i would have paid $15,000 dollars or more from them on the same 3 vehicles 5000 each more plus gobbs more in interest.
I have an 87 gt hatch bone stock, love it
Yep, they forgot add Barret-Jackson high dollar buys lol. Anyone in going to North Texas Foxbody Club event, Lonestar Foxfest at Xtreme Raceway Park
The reason is Dennis Collins selling his collection on Barrett Jackson. Now every guy with a half clapped out 89 GT thinks he has a 10k ride. What they fail to realize is that his cars were very low mile and low number low mile specialty cars, also sold at the biggest car auction on the planet to millionaires.
Truth... $500 rollers became 3-5k over night. Still find my fair share of clapped out ones cheap but most " clean" ones I've looked at still need thousands in repairs.
@@nothanks81 Yep, before that auction aired you could get a very decent Fox Body for $3,500 to $4,000(around here anyway) and a damn near mint one for 7, the next day they doubled in price. Now I see extremely rough ones that haven't ran in years and don't even roll for 3 grand.
There should be a special award for the little 2.3 mustangs.....my 92 had almost 278.000 on it ..before the Trans went out.....then I sold it ...
Very good video and I myself can personally relate to all of these topics.had an 84 with t-tops,then an 89 lx,then a 90 lx and lastly my 93 coyote swap.which is by far my favorite.
When did you coyote swap? The white one has a sbf, or are you talking about another 93?
Keep draggin them mine stays in my garage comes out when the days are beautiful
Ky here- I’ve got two 84 gt350 convertibles sitting in my work shop.😎
Nice!!
Bought a brand new Gt in 1986...first year for fuel injection, i was 23 yrs old
Great video, thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thr older something gets the more valuable it becomes, and the Ford Mustang will always be in demand, especially the 60s, early 70s, 80s and 90s.
LMR is my #1 mustang parts go to. I need a motor and it sucks everything is so far out on being restocked
1985-86 is my favorite to......I had a 86 red GT I put a high compression 351w in it ;-)
Waiting for my 96 to start increasing. Not going to sell it but it'd be cool
Saw a clean white one at the store the other day. There was a DUC tag on the front seat. I told my buddy I should ask how much lol.
Fox platform...mustang.
Is the best!!
Technically I have the last version, a 2004 COBRA AND I LOVE IT!
I don't remember anyone calling them Foxbodies in the 80s.
The Fox Body platform kicked off in 1978 1/2. 79 was the first full year of production.
I think the first vehicle on the Fox Platform was the Fairmont, production started in 1977 llRC.
I have 10 from 87 thru 93 that I've in storage. Waiting for increased prices.
Ive been buying from yall for the past few months while restoring and giving my car more power, yalls products are awesome but I do suggest more interior restoration parts like the entire center console being a big suggestion!
I love my 1991 Mustang LX 5.0
Me too bought mine back in 91 off the show room floor still have it now badass
This man in a Maserati wanted to buy my car. He had rings and bling rich guy!
Got my beautiful Fox totaled by an idiot almost two months ago, I hope I’ll be able yo rescue her and make her better than ever
The reason it’s rising in $$ is cause us kids that didn’t have the $ or a license etc back then , have big $$$$$ and big businesses now and can afford the toys of our youth no matter what the $ is. FAX!
It started with Dennis Collins Richard Rawlings buddy selling his collection...then Barrett Jackson and Mecum Auto Sales made prices go sky high.
Got a 1988 mustang GT 16 years ago for 1k. I still have it today, just collecting dust in my garage.
Just bought an '84 GT 350 5 speed convertible.
