great video. I have to correct you on the crown vic though. It was not a junk car. Vics are the toughest cars ever made.. ive had numerous ones assigned and they were all tanks. Not the best looking, not the fastest... but you cannot destroy them. I took my vic patrol cars in places you wont believe, even in a pursuit on a river jumping sandbars trying to catch a lifted jeep running from me. Crown Vics were the best police cars ever made. tough, comfortable for long shifts, reliable, and cost effective. And I did have a 93 slicktop with the 5.0 in it that was screaming fast...
I purchased a used P71 and loved it! Never gave a problem and was an awesome cruiser- I wished it was manual but understood why it was an auto for it’s intended purpose
First ride was an 87 Ltd Crown Victoria, I bought off my Grandfather! He was a heavy smoker, but wouldn't even think about smoking in that thing. It was almost "mint".... He couldn't understand why I wanted an"old man's car", in '97, when I was graduating
As a repeat offender of crown vic ownership and the newer ones (93 & 99) than the ltd style he was referring to, i can say the ssp stang is probably a better ripper than the our boats no doubt. Though i do agree with everything you said lol
If anyone thinks Fox Body prices are high, wait 20 years and you will wish you had a time machine to go back to today a buy one! These prices are only going to advance further. Much further! Great video!~
I still believe my Dad was the reason the Texas Trooper’s went to the 5.0 in the mid eighties. He owned many GT’s but the one that took out everything that came up against him was an 85’ Predator. This was in Austin and sometimes he still kids that they’re still looking for him. All he has now are pictures and memories.
I test drove a new one of those back in the day. The thought of a V8 in a car like that is so absurd to me, that I wanted one then, and I still want one now.
Fun fact. Nobody liked the calypso green when it came out in '93 It didnt sell well at all and thats what actually made it rare Now times have changed and now everybody likes the calypso green.
Great information! You put it all together nicely. I bought the only late model fox body convertible almost 8K miles outside the US at a former US Navy base. It was shipped over by the original AF pilot. Original paint, interior, radio, no rust and has unmolested 5.0 V8 manual with black paint, tan interior and running condition.
@hakosan86 MAN I HAVE 8 MUSTANGS BUT 2 FOX BODY'S LOL I HAVE A RED 1987 MUSTANG GT WITH THE RARE T TOP OPTION AND THE CAR HAS 69 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR EXHAUST AND I HAVE A VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA WITH 22 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR EXHAUST ALSO.
@@hakosan86LOL I BOUGHT MY 93 COBRA BACK IN 05 WITH 19 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES FOR 17 GRAND AND I HAVE BEEN OFFERED 75 GRAND RECENTLY BUT LOL I DOUBT IT THAT I WILL EVER SELL THE CAR.
@@hakosan86I WISH I HAD BOUGHT A SALEEN FOX BODY BACK IN THE DAY WHEN I COULD HAVE GOTTEN ONE FOR A LOT LESS MONEY BUT LOL WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FUTURE WILL BRING.
I bought a new 1992 Bimini Blue 302/5 speed/3.08 LX hatch. Though it was a daily driver, i still added some period CA smog legal mods of the time - headers, thermostat, K&N, timing as well as a Hurst shifter and JBA weld-in subframe connectors. The weld-in connectors are the way to go. I installed the Hurst after missing third gear a couple of times. The subframe connectors with an otherwise stock suspension made the thing corner like it was on rails - made the rest of the suspension and Goodyear Gatorbacks work as designed. Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust gave it some authority and a noticeable kick too. The car was fast for what it was. The Bimini Blue color as I understood was a 1992-only color so it predated the teal of the 1993 Cobra. I had a lot of fun with the car and still drove it to work every day. Had to let it go because kids came along. Ash tray lid is irritating. I also drove a Bimini Blue 1992 SSP notchback with an auto for a little while. Had 15 instead of 16 inch rims. It was also a fun driver but the transmission was loose. Wasn’t as quick as my slightly modified 5 speed car. Another place to look for rust is around or under the rear deck spoilers. Moisture gets trapped. Mine was exposed to SoCal salt air and that’s where it started to rust. I remember the 83 GT350 packages and believe they were all 302 cars - at least the ones I saw. Maybe there was a turbo option but I never saw one. Anyway, great video. I wish these cars were still cheap.
Calypso isn’t loved by everyone, but those that do are very into it. There isn’t a car that I regret selling more than my first Mustang, a 92 Calyspo LX coupe. Maybe some day I’ll see one for sale again, but they’re rarer to find with so many ending up in the junk yard over the years.
I have a 1979 5.0 in ghia notch with venyl on the roof. It is dark jade metallic and the interriour and venyl top is chamois. It was born with the TRX tires. I have full history on it and wrote with the son and grandson of the original owner. It was originally purchased in Copenhagen Danmark and quite rare over here. Especially for a V8 born in that timeframe with fuel prices going so cracy, it was illegal to drive a car on a saturday only a few years before. The stuff that is not original is the stuff i have changed to keep it running. Filters, spark plugs, fuel pump and tires. There are some minor signs of rust near the edges of the sunroof and the rear fenders. And this car only spinning on one tire, it is not equipped with a limit slip dif. That must have come later on.
Great Video... 👍 I own a 66 GT FB since 15 years and as much as i love the 65/66 Mustang, Foxbodys came a close second. Imo these were timeless american beautys, that never gets old or out of fashion. Not to mention plenty of hp, lightweight and tons of custom design choices over the years. Hopefully i find one in good condition for a fair price in time. Greetings to all pony and muscle car enthusiasts out there from germany.🤘
MAN I HAVE A VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA WITH JUST 22 THOUSAND ORIGINAL MILES AND IT'S ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR EXHAUST AND I BOUGHT IT BACK IN 05 FOR 17GRAND AND TODAY I WAS RECENTLY OFFERED 75 GRAND AND I HAVE A 87 MUSTANG GT WITH THE RARE T TOP OPTION AND I WILL NEVER SELL IT EITHER.
Missed opportunity on rare Fox colors. In 1993, and 1993 only you could get your Foxbody in beautiful "Canary Yellow". I believe you could get Canary Yellow in 94, and 95 on those SN95's respectively.
Everybody calls this the "ugly one" but I think it looks a WHOLE LOT better than the II. The II was just a glorified Pinto. And much better than the 4th gen. I always thought the 5th gen looked good though.
At 4:20 there is a dark color 4 eyes hatchback, where did you get that clip? I am looking for more info on that car to find out where they got the rear diffuser so any info would be greatly appreciated! Great video by the way!
91-93s came with more spacious front wheel wells due to the upgrade to 16" wheels. Hatchbacks were heavier and less rigid. Powertrain was solid but suspension design, frame rigidity, and brakes were garbage. Out of the box, they were very unbalanced performers. Mustangs that are lowered with only shorter springs will handle like a skateboard on ice. Complete front and rear suspension replacements with upgraded design/geometry are needed to do the power justice.
in 1987, my neighbor wanted to sell me a 1979 ford mustang pace car completelely restored to original with a 1987 5.0 HO engine and transmission 5spd dropped in, FOR $1500, like new with a crate motor with less than 5000 miles on it. I was stupid and bought a 1976 ford mustang 2+2 v6 for $525 because it was cheaper. man , i messed up.
Best way if you don’t want to be involved too much would to sell locally either through craigslist or facebook market. Selling nationally requires you to take multiple videos/ high quality pictures, coordinating shipping, and gambling how high your car will be bid.
@@hakosan86 Good to know. Thanks! By the way, it's been driven very little the last 15 years just a few times a year and then under a cover. I was surprised it cleaned up as good as it did and started right up. Although it's a 4 cyl, automatic, 99,000 but very conservatively driven by my old uncle. I'm starting to get a little hopeful I can get some money out of it!?
Thanks just bought a 93 LX 🦊 with the 2.3L 4 speed auto. Trying to find what options it might have.its electric red Though I heavily disagree not talking about the turbo or NA 2.3 and calling Vics junk Probably the reason you have so few subs
Number one would everyone do the math it is a 4.9 302 is not a 5.0!!!! Thay would run for ever in Mercury models like the Grand Marquis ford LTD my favorite 79 Mercury cougar my dad got 300,000 mi out of that car just changed the oil. favorite color was the color blue teal

Panther platform! I’ve had many! Look how many Cletus owns 😂

Emerald green by itself with chrome ponys or cobra wheels is my favorite
One of my favorite combos too!
That's what my 91 lx is, emerald green hatch back with 99k miles
Thank you for this very informative video. I find these cars fun and reliable as long as I do the maintenance.

Could also get a Mercury Capri which was essentially a 79-86 Foxbody Mustang.
One of my favorite rare colors is "vibrant red". If you've ever seen it in person, you'll know why!
I’ll keep my eye out!

I wouldn’t keep the ash tray center in the car i recommend the cup holder one especially if you daily drive it

Calypso was considered your moms mustang back in the day 😆
True. But unfortunately my mom bought the same color as mine: Bright Regatta Blue Metallic.
you should do the third gen camaro for a comparison. thanks,
great vids btw
I’ll definitely do that! Thanks for watching!
I want one but idk if it’s gonna cost a lot to fix up
What about the 93 reef blue?! That’s a beautiful color .
At 4:20 there is a dark color 4 eyes hatchback, where did you get that clip? I am looking for more info on that car to find out where they got the rear diffuser so any info would be greatly appreciated! Great video by the way!
I think the 86 was the best and nicest yr

Hey!! What’s up with no Reef Blue mention??
What about titanium frost ? You never see those colors. I own a 90 coupe that’s the light titanium frost. I never see another one
My 92 GT is Titanium Frost, awesome color!
IMO Reef Blue was the best color!!

What headlights/turn signals on the red widebody at 1:30
I bought my 92 GT from the original owner 26 years ago, glad l still have it.
Buy an Escort GT for a 4cyl
Exactly!
What's the best way to sell a basic 89 Fox Body, . Locally-Craiglist or online reaching nationally? Never sold a car before!

im curious on how much my 88' NHP SSP is worth. all stock besides paint & i have paperwork. it has 125k OG miles.
I had a mustang that was deep canyon red didn’t see many of those
Beautiful color!
You forgot that you could get a better car if you got the Thunderbird or Mark VII
You forgot the 93 cobra svt!
I would love one but why tf r they so expensive?
Forgot about the whining power steering pump
Normal
¡Great info un one video!, ¡Thanks!
Thanks just bought a 93 LX 🦊 with the 2.3L 4 speed auto. Trying to find what options it might have.its electric red
Though I heavily disagree not talking about the turbo or NA 2.3 and calling Vics junk
Probably the reason you have so few subs
I didn't know Ford made a Mustang notchback with t-tops! I've never liked that hatch on those cars!!
You didn't even mention how Fox body tends to crack on the roof A pillar.
Ssps we're for all law enforcement. Not just California.
You forgot reef blue
Can you do the Acura legend next , luv ur vids 🙏🏽
Thank you! Will do that!
87? Not 97
My dad has the one that you want
I want a foxbody with a coyote
Number one would everyone do the math it is a 4.9 302 is not a 5.0!!!! Thay would run for ever in Mercury models like the Grand Marquis ford LTD my favorite 79 Mercury cougar my dad got 300,000 mi out of that car just changed the oil. favorite color was the color blue teal
My dad already got one
don't care i want a SVO i like the mustang look but want the turbo 4 banger
🇺🇲
Fox bodies are still cheap compared to other mustangs
