I'm a Holden (aussie GM) guy but damn that stang is fire. Hands down the best looking mustang I've ever seen. Front end looks very similar to the oldschool Monza fronts like on the Mad Max falcon
100% mam. It has the same vibe as the Buick Grand National and the old school Pontiac Transam. I've always had a soft spot for the 3rd Gen Iroc-Z (If anyone remembers the song by Wheatis - Teenage dirt bag). This exact look is what inspired me to settle with the car I have now FC3S Mazda RX7 (running a custom kit -deleted popup headlights to run a front end similar to this Mustang) mine is also wide body. It's what you gotta do in Australia, when you can't have the real deal.
Dude. This car is sick. So awesome that he spent time with you to show it. I love the story about this car and how Derrick got it. There's nothing better than a guy who's really passionate about a vehicle getting a chance to be it's custodian. Awesome.
@14:46 sorry boys I tried. Cars super clean, can’t say I knew these were a thing. Awesome to learn about rare/out there factory cars. Glad to see someone keeping this one on the road and hopefully enjoys it and drives it.
I remember seeing information about these cars back in the day. Awesome that you have restored your Mclaren! Our stable has had ‘79 hatch, ‘84 SVO, ‘89 5.0 hatch and the ‘96 Cobra had a full coilover Griggs Racing suspension, T56 and a lot more. Fun cars 🎉
I had an 83' worked on upgrading for 10yrs and got rid of it and still no idea why i was so stupid!! Was the absolute most dependable ride i ever had never ever left me anywhere except 1 time on the side of 75 on a trip and was like 3am when i looked at the fuel gauge n was on bone E!! I was just enjoying the night ride!! Gorgeous McLaren
Temu product placement has been forgiven after doing a build breakdown on this fine piece of motoring history with operating donkey pumps and Longbeach port as the backdrop. Bravo 👏👏👏
I was born in 83 and have always had a love affair with foxbodies and have owned 4 throughout the years. My current pony is a 90gt Saleen clone. They are simply just absolute bliss to drive and there is no other sound like that coming from a pushrod Ford V8.
First time I've seen or heard about these being as McLaren are my favourite F1 team can't believe I've only just seen one but being in England I'm not surprised.
Built by hand by Ron Fournier. You can see it under construction in the HP Books, Metal Fabricator' Handbook and HP Books Sheet Metal Handbook. They were must have Books for car guys in the 80's. I still have my copies. That custom body work is all Steel. The DSO kit was fiberglass molded from the steel body Ron built.
I usually like the notchbacks more than the hatchbacks but this one is a beauty 🤩 I had a notchback with a chromoly k-member, a-arms, and coilovers. Handled like a dream. No matter how sideways you got it it didn't want to loop out. Having a driver's license was fun.
Lot of parts from the mercury capri which had wider fender flares from the factory. The skirt kit on the car is the same as I bought for my capri with the only difference being the ferrari cut-outs on the side, (fitting for the time). Same wheels that you could get factory for the capri. Same rear wing. Headlight covers were available. I had the tinted ones. Ford did the same thing with the indy 500 pace car which again was a mercury capri with mustang body. The capri had a little better tuned suspension. The capri costs more and you had to go to a Lincoln mercury dealer to get one. The great Jackie Stewart promoted it. The extra cost and ammenities meant they sold very few. A cool parts bin car though that ford (allowed) to be put together. And a rare find.
Mr zachary solely keeping the ENTIRE hoonigan brand alive and thriving.. if he were to get the boys back together and start a weekly hoon build or rip or even just some fuckery i guarantee it would kick off like any of the hoonigan series videos did and he would keep hoonigan in high gear with all the credit going back to the crew and them getting paid like they should be..
One of my very best friend growing up had a convertible McLaren fox body,it was sweet! Surprised a lot of people 😅,good times in that car ,i love them!
The 1985 and 86 are my favorite Fox body cars. I would be scared as hell to own this car because I would want to drive it, but the roads and other drivers would prevent me from doing so until the hours of midnight to 3 am
Growing up, I had older friends who had 5.0L foxbody mustangs, and their cars were stolen so damn often seemed like every six months one of them had to rebuild their car because it was stolen and found stripped.
Killer video Zac! Such a rare and badass ride…and thanks for the shoutout!!
Idc what anyone says,this has to be one of the best foxbody mustangs ever!!❤️
THE best one. the second place is the califonria highway patrol edition high output cruiser. both would make me very happy.
I agree 💯💯%
Nice and clean
I love those Recaro seats!

I Agree! I also reckon Brockie would have loved this build mate!

Love this video bud. Old school build biology vibes. Edits always on point. Keep rocking dude. 🤘
So much love for this bad ass ride!!!
DAMN! You cant beat the look of a ole Foxbody! including this little jem!!
Derek was in the hunt for THIS car + nailed it...well done sir 🤙
Never sa this before. That kit is so perfect. This is now my favorite foxes
@14:46 sorry boys I tried.

I have no Fox Body Love, but this Mustang Mc Laren version here is just too beautiful 😍 EVERYTHING about it is perfect on point 😊
I would love to see more vehicles like this. I've always loved the foxbody but I never knew this car existed. Beautiful car for sure!
Wow that car is amazing! Made me love the 4 headlight fox body. THE SOUND ON THAT THING 🤤
I remember seeing information about these cars back in the day. Awesome that you have restored your Mclaren!

Ron is sitting on a bad ass bump to rail skate spot 🎉
Always loved this version, and had model when I was a kid!
never knew this car existed, this thing is extremely clean af

Cool story and car, tasteful restoration and good choices when it comes to upgrades. The body look is so nostalgic
As a fellow nineties kid I also always wanted a fox body.
I was born in 83 and have always had a love affair with foxbodies and have owned 4 throughout the years. My current pony is a 90gt Saleen clone. They are simply just absolute bliss to drive and there is no other sound like that coming from a pushrod Ford V8.
My new favorite fox body. This thing is sweet!!
Thanks for keeping the hoonigan vibes alive.....love this so much
It’s hard to find a real review on this car ❤ thanks for making it happen from a real car man perspective
First time I've seen or heard about these being as McLaren are my favourite F1 team can't believe I've only just seen one but being in England I'm not surprised.
wow dude what a car! my bro had the 86 foxbody mustang GT with t-tops it had black spoked rims as well....wow what a car.
I love it. My dad raced an IMSA GTO mustang in the early 80s. Roush V8 of course 💪🏻
I'm a bit fan of weird and unusually rare cars. The SVO is another one I really like the vibes of.
I think McLaren collab projects are so much better than their production vehicles. This thing is the shit.
I wish this channel was more popular he's always doin something cool
This is absolutely gorgeous and I honestly don't care what people say Fox body mustangs look absolutely awesome ya just gotta love it ⚔🇺🇲⚔
Love it! I really like that you tucked the roller shots in between the segments.
How rich the history behind that car is! 30 minutes to record and got a very informative 16 minute video?? Good work god bless! New sub
This episode reminds me of the golden era Of Daily Trans. Cool car, great story, 15 minutes long. Only missing the burnout to end it. Big props!

good old nostalgia trip. nice edit. love that 80s corvette in it. the shape is just... different.
I'm a fan of the 87-93 foxes but I have to say that this McLaren version of the 4 eye foxes looks sick as hell.
Dude zach... 👏 just keep making videos like this my man! What a wicked 🚗
Been following Derek on IG for awhile , great cars in his garage . Cool dude with great taste
Best Mustang ever😁✅ I have never heard of it or seen one of these before
Wazzz up , love seeing rare models of cars so dope
Not a big fox body or mustang guy, but those wheels and Recaro’s are just too good 👌
Chefs kiss! This is beautiful, they need to bring back a new fox body that look like this.
Great episode. beautiful car, love the location.
Pure uncut DOPE……great video zac!!
I usually like the notchbacks more than the hatchbacks but this one is a beauty 🤩
I had a notchback with a chromoly k-member, a-arms, and coilovers. Handled like a dream. No matter how sideways you got it it didn't want to loop out. Having a driver's license was fun.
The first car i remember really liking as a kid was a 93 cobra. This one is awesome.
Four light fox bodies are SICK!
Miss this type of content!
Truly one of a kind vehicle 🔥
A composer without a radio.
Shout out to using the port for a backround. As a longshoreman i love it.
Burnyard vibes 💯 need this to become a regular series!
Super clean OG Mustang with all the Bells and Whistles. Dont let a hood down holding the corner😢
CLEAN AF! Didn't even know that these were built
Build breakdown on Zac's channel is something we need as a regular feature!!!
Hands down sickest fox body I’ve ever seen
We agree a lot when it comes to cars. However, I have never been into this generation of Mustang. Until you showed me this one, Damn its hot... 🔥
Lot of parts from the mercury capri which had wider fender flares from the factory.

What a beautiful piece of machinery
It would be so sick if someone made this same kit again. Maybe modernized in carbonfiber? *insert "carbon fibah!" meme here*
Thank you for the content! I love how you cover all the bases when it comes to the car culture!! Your the man Zack
Gorgeous those wheels so sick. Widebody too damn
Mr zachary solely keeping the ENTIRE hoonigan brand alive and thriving.. if he were to get the boys back together and start a weekly hoon build or rip or even just some fuckery i guarantee it would kick off like any of the hoonigan series videos did and he would keep hoonigan in high gear with all the credit going back to the crew and them getting paid like they should be..
What a bad ass Mustang! makes me wanna throw my gold BBS back on my car lol
Absolutely love those wheels and stance
Looks like a Renault Alpine Gta at the front , i love it 🎉
Thanks for filming this in my hometown
I have pictures of one of these, but it was a Capri, that was at a Warner Robbins in Ga. at a Ford Display in the Pro-Pits.
That. was ... AWESOME!
One of my very best friend growing up had a convertible McLaren fox body,it was sweet! Surprised a lot of people 😅,good times in that car ,i love them!
Thanks for this feature. I know you’re a bowtie guy, but as a Ford lover, it’s nice to see.
The 1985 and 86 are my favorite Fox body cars. I would be scared as hell to own this car because I would want to drive it, but the roads and other drivers would prevent me from doing so until the hours of midnight to 3 am
“You’re not gonna scumbag me” 😂
This car just showed up on two channels on the same day. Must be a very unique car.
Obviously it was built, because I’m watching it right now.
Great video. Should do a serie with different gems like this one
Fox bodies were always fun, Always liked the Capri bodies. I'm a Chevy guy though. I had an IrocZ. 🇮🇹😀
My friends dad has one of those but a convertible. He has had a lot done to it. They are a cool piece of history.
Seen this at the hot wheels legends tour. such a badass ride.
That is one cool car. Love it, and that's saying a lot for a fox body.
Really enjoy this kind of video Zach definitely need to do some more of the!! Another great video 🔥🔥🔥
such a cool location at that port, and gives me GTAV memories!
Nice video/show Zach pretty Dope Bro! & Loveee The Mustang!!
Missing the vibe of this style of video. I love it
my old neighbor had a mercury capri asc mclaren its one of the coolest foxbody ive seen
Hugh can of the channel, but I think you driving cool/rare America muscle cars is my favorite content yet.
Gorgeous and I’m not talkin bout Zac! 😉😂
The kit definitely exists It's been remanufactured by JBA speed in Cali.. Saw one put on a fox body convertible and it looks sick
Sick vid nice work beautiful fox body
One of the best episodes
That is beyond beautiful... that body, woo!!!...😊❤😊
The head light covers are cool it makes it look like a red mad max falcon
i used to have a 1986 mercury cougar with the 5.0. i miss that car every day,
Growing up, I had older friends who had 5.0L foxbody mustangs, and their cars were stolen so damn often seemed like every six months one of them had to rebuild their car because it was stolen and found stripped.
Probably the same guys every time lol
*Love the filming location*
This is pretty rad! Looks like a Mitsubishi Starion
Zach, you are a champ. Love yhe grind. The fresh style of your videos. Do it for dale ... Lets get you connected with cleeter
This was a great episode!!
