What if Carroll Shelby designed the Fox-body Mustang? | Chip Foose Draws A Car - Ep. 19

- The Fox-body Mustang was in production from 1979 to 1993, which was a revolutionary time period in automotive history. By 1987 the 5.0 liter Mustang benefitted from things taken for granted now: sequential multi-port fuel injection, emissions controls that allowed impressive performance, and aerodynamic flush mount headlights for lower drag and better performance. It was available as a convertible, hatchback and the cheaper, lighter and stiffer notchback coupe. The notchback is now one of the most popular and desirable versions, so let's see how it takes the subtle tweaks from Chip Foose's pen.

You're the one who got me started sketching cars, Chip. Love your style!
I have always wanted to. Yt my hands were no good
Chip doesn't draw a car, he dreams up the finished project & then him and the A Team bring em to reality. Truly the Carroll Shelby of our Generation
@@markprice2225 sadly he missed the mark on this one and made the car look worse
@@msk3905 Yeh, we'll really trust your opinion whoever you are. Even more so when you don't explain why. HA
@@mikekingsborough1 so should we trust your opinion, not seeing anything meaningful from you?
the simplicity of the foxbody is what makes it great, especially the notchbacks
The Foxbody is like that car you didn’t like at first but now you’re finding out to be a really cool car
It’s fascinating that he sketched this out with a pen so inexpensive and that many complain that they suck
As someone who also designs cars, cheap pens have the perfect flow for sketching cars.
Its a poor craftsman that blames the tool.
@@ghost21501
Never heard of you..👀👊🏻
@@dalehall2993 you haven't heard of levnko? Are you living under a rock?
@@Paxton550730
Hes an artist not a car designer.i dont pay attention too painters other than bob ross..😎👊🏻
Makes me miss Overhaulin’ that much more! I’ve met Chip a couple times, and next to Carrol himself that was my #1 automotive inspiration to meet. Easily one of the most recognized automotive icons of our time and still such a humble, personable guy! Thanks for the video!!
The car of my generation. My 91 gets as many thumbs up and attention as any 1st generation car. Nothing sounded as good as the original 5.0 with Flowmaster mufflers. Even GM and Mopar guys love the sound of that music lol. Nice job Chip.
I still have my work in progress 91 gt. Did my suspension MM coilovers , the brakes are willwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rears. Overkill but insane stopping power. Engine is next. Cheers
Agreed, Agreed, Agreed!
yup totally unique sound all its own with flowmaster 2 chambers and an off road H pipe. you dont even need to see its a fox mustang, just hear it
Those Mustangs have better sales than the Camaros, but by early 1990, Ford felt that despite great sales, they going to make major changes to the Mustang, ; unpleasant changes. A lot of Ford dealers & Ford upper management protested those changes; fortunately, the then-CEO authorized a total redesign of the Mustang & had it ready by the early 1990s. Would have been great to have Mr Foose do the work.
So true!!
Notchback Mustang aren’t reasonable anymore, they are the most expensive besides Cobras.
Even a roller isnt cheap.
@@Mangobrain82 Its cuz most of them are trashed from being turned into drag buckets. They were always the lighter, faster bodystyle and the dragstrip dwindled the numbers. They have grown on me as I was always a hatchback guy but a slammed coupe with some fat ass meats out back always looks killer.
Lets also not forget cash for clunkers. That also helped demolish what was left of the plentyful supplies of cheap foxes.
Lol was thinking the same thing
Foose is a genius
Well... it’s official now. 👌
BREW2L, you’ve got the best Fox content on the net in my opinion. Congratulations on the new barn and lift. Can’t wait to see what that Gen 1 is going to look like. Much respect from the Motor City.
Hell ya good for all the already owners.. Already seeing the prices going up in FL. Last real muscle car in my opinion.
yup, hey at least we'll stop seeing cheap chevy guys buying them and putting in junkyard LS motors in them.
I have that exact car he is rendering off of. I thought it was mine.
There's a feeling so relaxing and satisfying watching Chip do this car sketch. Now go to your shop and make this bad boy come to life!
It’s nice to see the foxbody getting some respect
We’ve had one since 93 in our garage
wanna sell it to me??? lol
Chip brought aspects of the Shelby Charger over. Stripes, Shelby down the side, ground effects, and deck spoiler. Good homage to a Shelby foxbody of the 80's.
I love these episodes man. The art of drawing these machines is diminishing with time.
I dunno if Chip is up to speed on notchbacks or if prices are different where he lives, but in Texas (and what I've seen on Autotrader) notchbacks with a 5.0 in good condition are not $7.5k. More like $15k. That aside, his take on a Shelby notchback is wicked!
I came here to say the same. I’m up in New England and you can’t fine a nice notch period. When you do find one they’re $15K or more.
same in CA and AZ. Hatches are and always have been easier to find than notches...
love my 91 GT. Thanks chip for showing some love to it.
I'm glad the Fox body is getting attention! I have a 1988 Mustang GT convertible that I bought at San Gabriel Ford brand new
The final product looks very similar to a 1988 Ford Thunderbird.
Exactly my thoughts the whole time
Looks like a Thunder Coupe... I completely agree..
That’s a good thing. I always thought the tbirds look better.
Thunder , Thunder , Thunder Chicken!!!!
Yup sorry but he ruined the coupe
You're good but are you Chip Foose with a ballpoint pen good?
Im not even good..lol
that was the main thing that i noticed lol
im like....is he using a bic ballpoint?.......sure is.
spot on!
As in pens go for being cheap they are hella reliable. But it does take skill to accurately draw with a pen skill that I could probably get back into myself given the time but I prefer to draw with a charcoal pencil most of the time
Definitely
Not
I had a 81 notchback back in 1995. My brother and I spent the whole summer of 95 fixing it since it had a blown motor in it. We put a 302 in it from a donor LTD, and we visited every junkyard for parts all summer. First week of school and we finally got the last part for it. When we got home from school the next day to start it for the first time, it was gone. My dad sold it to his friend for $500 bucks and he kept the money...Never even got to hear the damn thing run...yup, awesome childhood memories.
Dated design... It's the AK-47 of mustangs chip. Go try to find one cheap now. Even junks expensive
100%
When he said notches were easy to come by I had to laugh. They are the most in demand now.
Idk where you guys are from but where I'm located fox bodies with rotted strut towers and frame rails run RAMPED
They've gone uo like stio expensive.
The Notchback is still IMO one of the best looking Mustangs
$7500... that was twenty years ago try $20+k for decent 5.0 coupe. Even the 5.0 hatches are $15k+ for decent one
I like how he says you can find a coupe for a cheap price 😂 I have both a notch and a hatch the hatch is fully restored and the notch doesn’t even turn on yet and I’m getting payed more for the notch as is
I've seen 93 cobras in the 20k price range so idk what area of the country you're looking in but its the wrong one lol
Yup, bought my 92 calypso green coup for 15k. And it was the cheapest one they had
I bought a 89 GT all original stock with 80k miles for a whopping 2,000 dlls this past summer,
They crazy
Just picked up a 1 owner 90 GT a few weeks ago. Immaculate interior and body, still has the factory hurricanes on it too that have never been curb kissed. No o/d in the aod and a bad p.s. leak. All being fixed as i type !
I had a baby blue Mustang 5.0L 5 speed hatch in high school I bought for $2000 that needed work. Turned out it just needed a new fuel pump relay. I had 18 inch chrome cobra wheels. Loved that car. Back then you could get them cheap and find parts in junkyards for next to nothing. They were quick, powerful, cheap, they sounded great and the back end loved to get loose. Dangerous in the rain but a joy to drive. No traction control, stability control or abs. You had to know how to drive to really push them without ending up wrapped around a tree or telephone pole, which was the demise of many fox-body’s. I’ve owned 3 over the years now it’s rare to see one on the road. I’ll never forget what it’s like to drive them.
The SAAC(Shelby American Automobile Club) built a Fox chassis Mustang in 1991/1992 with Ford and Carroll Shelby's blessing(they sanctioned the build). They bring in big bucks due to their limited build(just over 60).
I liked ho the stripes ended at the hood. Not wrapping all the way down the bumpers.
Those SAAC mustangs were cool looking cars. My buddy has a set of the SAAC valve covers on his fox body.
They made them into 93 also. They also made a “lesser” version called a Snake.
I'm on Foxbody #7. I fkn LOVE these damn things !
I miss Overhaulin’ and dreaming that one day my crappy ‘98 Ford Explorer would get overhauled...into a ‘69 Mustang Boss 429.
why not into a Explorer XP8 instead
I always wanted my 01 explorer sport to get Overhauled! I loved that it was 2 doors but it was still big enough for me being 6'5. Pretty Much a y2k Bronco only classier! I had black. It had horrible shocks/springs and I had 3 ball joints replaced
Funny ... I knew Carroll from our Odessa, TX days when he was hocking his bagged Chile Mix Recipe (which was friggin awesome). Truth ... Carroll didn't design anything. Carroll's strength was identifying people talent at different levels and bringing it together. He was also a brilliant leader. He reminded me of Lombardi. He had a charisma that commanded respect and he also gave it. Nobody on the team seemed to have infighting. His best talent was working with the factory heads (Ford) and pursuing them like a Jack Russell Terrier. Lee Iaccoca didn't "invest" in Carroll, he just surrendered to get rid of him. Carroll would stand on a stump and argue that a tree never grew there. He could also sell you your own underwear. Unlikely we will ever see that spirit again.
When I was a kid and saw the fox mustang growing up in the mid 80's to early 90's I fell in love! I found one and have had it for going on 12 years. The car is awesome I just wish I'd gotten one sooner.
I remember Saleen put out some pretty hot fox body mustangs back in the day.
They also had a vert with a manual top.
The Saleen Fox Mustang is probably the best look cars of that era. “Dated” or not, if and when I rarely see a Saleen on the road, they still turn my head.
Yes they did. Seen a few
Good afternoon Chip, I can't believe how incredibly easy you make it look. That picture just appeared and look fantastic. You take care and stay healthy.
I owned 2 brand new 5.0 notchback mustangs(89+91). Best cars I ever owned.. not 1 issue, I could easily mod them myself(hence super easy to work on)and that 5.0 back then was bullet proof. Now everything is highly computerized or an ev… no thank u. Great job chip foose.
Thanks Chip...I really miss your builds and vision.
Almost an E30 look going on here. Love it. classic 80's notchback sports car look.
Purchased my 93 Fox-Body LX 5.0 new in 93' and still have it! All original with only about 23,000 miles. Fun to drive in 93 and still fun to drive in 2021!
I've had an 89 GT since 1990.
Thanks Hagerty and Chip, I am glad to see these videos. Thanks for letting us watch car videos.
I day dreamed about the Fox Body Mustang when I was in High school and college. The two valve V8 engine sounds great with the right exhaust. My boss at the time had a roll cage installed in his notch back Mustang.
I used to borrow my dad's 1992 T-Bird with the 5.0. Awesome car.
I had a 77 Monarch and it was a fox platform and after seeing Foose on the History Channel I cut the springs set it on the ground and got 56 pickup hub caps and now I can afford to do it right and I've been customizing and personalizing my vehicle's ever since
This kinda happened. SHELBY unofficially was consulted for the SAAC Mustangs- which were used to federalize the 1993 Cobra GT40 motor. Those SAAC cars are pretty darn nice, and the mods make sense. Love how the factory rollbars and chassis stiffening helped. Closing the doors on a SAAC is solid and satisfying!
On graduation night in 1993, we went out in my buddies dad's, McLaren Mustang. I think it was a 1988. A lot of people forget about the McLaren. But that was a pretty sweet car. I still use a Foxbody Thunderbird as a daily driver. 5.0 with an aod transmission. Been driving it for 15 years now. And I love that car!
Wow man, you outdid yourself Chip. I never really liked Foxbodies honestly, but this sketch really makes me smile, I'd bet if it was made back then, it'd be an icon for years to come. Thanks for making my day dude.
I never tire of hearing Chip talk about cars, unlike others he speaks from the heart.
Chip has so much respect for the innovators!
20 years watching Foose draw & I still get excited every time I see him work!
Always in awe and always will be. There’s the rest of us and then there’s Chip Foose. Guy is an alien freak lol, on a completely different level. I’ll never in my life get tired of seeing his visions. In my honest opinion he put Boyd Coddington on the map!!! Never saw Boyd do anything but delegate, Chip Foose is a GOD!!!!!!!
That foxbody shelby hybrid was gorgeous. Chip was one of the biggest reasons I got into drawing cars when i was a kid. Alot of my style comes right from him. Watching him on overhauling in the early 00's always amazed me
Absolutely love this, I someday wish to own an 89 notchback with an 03-04 cobra drive train, I've imagined it since I was 16 and here I am almost 32 and have yet to accomplish that dream.
I could watch this work for hours and still see something new every hour!!
This guy uses a pen and markers that you cannot erase! My mind is blown… This guys a true artist
We've been waiting for this for a long time, Thanks Chip for all the insight and vision. I bought a 1988 GT new and still own and drive her today 121,000 miles on the odometer one new transmission (5 speed ) and one engine rebuild ( original block ). Don't be surprised if you see a Scarlet red GT parked out front begging to be first one with a 5.0 FOOSE signature on the door.
Watching passion never gets old. Bravo and God Bless👍🇺🇸
I have a 92 LX 5.0 red on red .i always wondered what chip would be able to do to improve my car .absolutely awesome chip Foose you are a master🙏🙏 I always love watching you draw the car before you build it
What an awesome redo on the Fox-body! I would love to have one that looks like that!! Slightly darker blue but the overall design for sure!!
I love it when these cars get attention. They are the most under appreciated cars and my absolute favorite! I have a hatchback... we don’t really refer to them as fastbacks. These cars can’t really be picked up for cheap any longer. We’re passing that point as they become more desirable and less surviving. I would love add a notchback to my collection. I’ve had lots of cars but refuse to let go of my foxbody.
This video should have been called "Chip Foose Draws a Fox Body Thunderbird"
Still cool, though
Yes! Exactly what I thought
I read the title amd just thought to myself "thats not shelby"
Glad im not the only one who thought it look a lot like a Bird. My first car was an 84 T-bird. I loved and miss that car so much
I was seeing a little next gen T-Bird in there too towards the back.
@@jeninjeans mine was an '83 Cougar.
This is the kind of car that the singer of the Nickelback would buy.
Chip, I have been a fan of your work for over 25 years and love your modern renditions of classic cars, and trucks. The C/28 you built was an awesome rendition of what Chevy should’ve built. I am a fan of the 87-91 Ford square body trucks and was curious if you could do a rendition of what one would look like if Ford had built a Lightning version.
Love it, thanks for sketching the notch back coupe!!! I really want a print copy of this one.
Owned since New an Oxford White 1989 5.0 LX Hatchback 25th Anniversary Edition for 30 yrs when I had sell it in 2019.
Kept all stock except for K&N Air Filter and Flowmaster mufflers.
225 HP off the dealer lot , which was a lot back in the day...
Great Memories in that Car !
Hold up... we all know it would've got the 5.8 dropped in....
Foose....and a hand full of others.....god given talent not wasted....👏
What Chip does with Magic Markers is amazing. Great artist and all-round car guy.
Magic Markers? Ha! They are AD markers at about 3-5$ per if you can find them. The magic is in his technique.
Foose is super talented but he always looks like he’s been on a 4 day bender lmao
Gives me alot of e36 m3 vibs
Exactly what I was thinking, and I like it..
I like it as well. But I wanna see what a vert and hatch look like as too lol
@@mattrebacz now that would be hot 🔥
Its quite fascinating watching Foose creativity kick in and seeing what he comes up with
Awesome to see the process and the drawing come to life..
My first love 🤣. I’ve had three foxes (hatch, coupe & conv) over the years and had so much fun with them. Great platform.
Congrats on the Sponsorship, I look forward to them supporting future episodes.
This was not my style for sure, but that's more Shelby's fault than what you showed. I hope you get the opportunity to do a Fastback in a fun style! I enjoyed my time in my old 5.0.
My dream car as a kid was the 93 GB with the two tone blue and grey. SVT wheels...I still drool thinking about owning one.
All those art supplies and he uses a cheap Bic pen and does amazing! This guy is an artist
I have a 91 5.0 notch back and would like my car to look like that for sure.
In Australia, Ford lost its V8 option during the Fox body era. The 1982-84 Ford XE was the last to carry the 5.8 351 Cleveland in it. Come the 85 XF up until 1991 was the V8 gone from the options package on Ford Falcons, and not until the Falcon EB came along did the 92 model come with the 5.0 Windsor V8, as used in the Mustang.
Had a 93 hatch GT and loved it. Needed cash and sold it in about 30 seconds off Craigslist. I bout it from a family who’s grandad owned it and he was sick. It was perfect. He pulled a little John boat with it haha.
Love your work, Chip!!!!❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just can't draw crap but I love your work and I have been a fan AND because of you and Shelby, I went to tech school and became an auto technician. I have a Ranger that is screaming for a 5.0 or 4.6 swap. Thanks for your art. Love you man
This dude is drawing that car with a BIC pen… chip you are amazing
I absolutely love notchback vehicles, I would own that foxbody any day. For now I just have my fiero formula notchie and my 87 Shelby charger. He did so much for dodge it's crazy.
Dude draws what ever comes to mind.. amazing as his craftsmanship
A Foose "Thundersnake" do it!, Chip!!
Your art just jumps off the paper!
That redisign was brilliant !
Chip, your sketching/drawing skills are amazing!
Now that's a great design Carroll Shelby himself would be proud
That red notch takes me back. Had one just like it, same ride height and black moldings. The one I owned had replica GT500 wheels and red interior.
Nice job Chip... I like this one...and you knocked it out of the park with those wheels... Kudos.. :o) Tony K. , Melbourne, Florida
Where did you go Chip ? King of the craft!
Nice work, Fox Mustangs are such fun cars!
Pens + Markers + Foose = Masterpiece
Chip is truly an artist and a damn fine builder
True Talent right here ladies and gentlemen! Chip's a Legend
Wow, amazing how much that looks like my E36 M3. The first fox body I like. Good job.
Dad had a friend nicknamed fast Eddie somewhere around the 1990's. He had a Foxbody pushing 700+ horse. IN THE 1980'S. Sounded like a monster truck when he started it up.
luv your mechanical and artistic skills combined
Keith Kaucher and Chip Foose are two guys that really got me interested in car design.
That drawing has an uncanny resemblance to my '90 Fox Notchback, color and all. It is amazing how similar this looks to it, lowered, front air dam, ground effects all around .
The wing on the rear deck is larger than the one Chip drew, providing much needed downforce over the rear of a vehicle with a notorious front-weight bias that is currently set up as a bracket car.
Thanks for the great drawing.
idk what I was expecting but this just looks like a regular fox body. Foose is the man regardless
Wow I would love to have that drawing. Awesome...
Nice job Chip. Showing the kids how to rock it old school Marker on velum. Paper sketches are still best for conceptualization. Photoshop has too many other little things to think about. Ford Design in Da House!
Guys, this is a little touch up any of us regular guys could do for fun not a complete rehash of a missing Shelby. Chip I like how you think, low and wide, and move through air as if you were never there. I saw you in a 1965 chevy Corvair in a Mexican video. What was that about? I have one and I have some ideas I'm wanting to try. I can't draw a mark to save my life. Luv your work.
Thanks Chip for doing that foxbody, I have one and i said if i ever got the money i would bring my 86 fast back fox to you to have you do it, the shelby concept is a great idea
Chip foose is profection at everything he sets his mind too I love his vehicles and art work
Nice redesign Chip l do love that color and stripe combination
