The mustangs from 2015 and up look European. It's bad enough that the mustang is a sports car and not a muscle car. May as well put a Volkswagen badge on them considering they look just as ugly anyways. Foxbodys are legendary. Those cars brought Ford performance from the ashes back in the day and put Ford back on the map!
I really started liking the cars of my childhood and teenage years. I have the grandnational and the gmc typhoon the mustang gt especially the 2 tones look remind me of the body cladding on the typhoon. I love the mustang shelby cars and the Saleen cars but the 5.0 is iconic.
Complete transparency: A fox was a consideration for a channel project car a few years down the line. After driving one it IS a major contender. I would love to have something older, but man, the potential and parts availability on foxes? Uncanny. I have ideas in my head, I hope my goals I have pan out and it can happen in that time-frame. 2022 baby!
If I had to choose a fox body it would be that era, with the hatch, not the notchback although the notchback was the fastest because it was the lightest.
These were the muscle cars of my generation. Growing up in the 80's and 90's these were a dime-a-dozen, but even though they were, when you heard one drive by people still turned to look because it had that iconic exhaust sound. If you would have told me that these would become big collectors items back then I would have laughed because there were a ton of them on the road, but now at 50 years old you never hear or see them and when you do everyone stops to look. Funny thing is I am a chevy guy, never owned a ford and never drove one, but I have to give credit where credit is due, this was a pretty cool car even though it didn't have the greatest engineering.
I had a 91 gt and it was even red but had black interior and it was a 5 speed. I loved that car! I had so many things done to it I'm not going to list them cause it would take too much time but it ran 11s and in the mid 90s for a daily driver was pretty good. I kept it until I traded it in for a 35th anniversary mustang GT and made it a monster!!
@@TheDutchTexan good luck with that. People are starting to appreciate the 4eyes, and with that they are no longer cheap. Really nice ones are fetching a higher dollar amount well over 87-93 models and also they are getting harder to find. Also the Capri models you can pretty much count those out. Prices on those are ridiculous, if you can find one!
I love my 1991 mustang gt 5.0. I drive it every day here in Brazil. Her they ar realy a feel. My fox it's just like this one red but manual transmission.
The mustangs from the 60's can't hold a candle to the popularity that the Foxbody has achieved! Back in the 80-90's they weren't just popular, it was a movement!!! You wouldn't understand unless you lived in that time and PARTICIPATED in the hobby!!
@CC Ryderyou have good points although it's usually the old guys who like classics and they are nice. Although most people in my generation and younger go for the foxes. My opinion the most popular platform for mustangs period, and still going strong with the Coyote and LS swaps. Trust me I know about the division on opinion on that's subject in the mustang community. Been a foxbody soldier since the big foxbody movement during the 1980-1990s. Like it or not the total build numbers and popularity in mods and swaps don't lie. The Foxbody is King!
1990 me 5 of my friends took 5.0 to prom instead of limo at the time they were our dads cars uncle cars you know they were brand new then.What started it and why have 2 now!Fox love
That's a nice clean Fox. I've owned 5 Fox bodies since the late 80's. Currently I own an '89 notch stripper (no power anything, no smog pump). Love it and will never sell it. TFS 190 11r heads, N-41 Anderson cam and Holley Systemax II intake. It goes like hell. It also has porno red interior. Lol!
I loved my '93 LX 5.0 coupe. I left it basically stock with some "quality of life" mods. 3.55's and of course the Flowmasters, drop in filter. Was tough to sell it, but my Termy made it tough to keep both.
Terminator > Foxbody. There, I said it. You just can't go wrong with a Terminator Cobra. Hands down one of the maddest mustangs I have driven. I can't imagine one with an aftermarket blower. That has to be nuts.
@@TheDutchTexan I told you once, and still mean it, someday I can offer mine for a drive, just need the time to figure out the issues under heavy boost/load. It is difficult to test :D Whipple Power!

Great review bro! I've had three foxbodys a 85 notch a 86 GT..I currently have a 92 GT and I love it!! my whole interior is scarlet red,dash door panels..I mean everything!! So sixties mustang and t-birds. The young dude has a great car 👍👍💪🇺🇸
Thank you so much for watching! Looks like you have been bit by the bug and never let it go. And yeah, I would have loved to have a Fox as my first car for sure!
I appreciate it! And classic (even recent classic like the Fox) is where it's at. So analog. No LCD screens, back up cameras or epic amounts of sound deadening (and fake engine noises).
@@TheDutchTexan I'm very impressed a sixteen year old kid, has this good of taste. I work on mine (mostly stock, slight mods) with my fourteen year old son, who thinks he's going to inherit it one day. Lol
It was surprisingly OK during the review given that we needed to keep the windows up to keep the wind from ruining the audio! But a 100 degree day? That would be very uncomfortable.
It's not that bad. I daily drove my 92 gt last year with no a/c. The cabin cools down extremely quickly with the windows down so you really don't need a/c unless you're just sitting in traffic. But if you're moving it's not needed lol.
Had a 89 5.0 GT as my first car as well. Wish it was a 5spd the 4 speed auto was not quick at all. If it had a shift kit and better gearing it would of been decent though. Still a dope car to this day.
I don't think a well done fox will ever go out of style if I am honest. The funny thing is that you don't see them at car shows that much at all either, at least here in the DFW. You got to look for them!
@@TheDutchTexan Yea bro I rarely see them on the road anymore. Wish I still had mine to be honest. I blew the rear end out and sold it. One day I want another one or just bite the bullet and get a 03-04 Cobra and go all out.
@@Kaiser187 I am seriously thinking about a Fox as the channel project car in a few years. They got a lot of aftermarket support. More than the classics I am thinking about.
@@TheDutchTexan The thing I like about them the most is the light weight. If I got another one I would go with a 347 stroker motor fully built with a 9 inch rear end.
I have been doing it for a while. The more you do it the better you get at it! I always try to tell a story and use all the shots I have at my disposal to do it. You’ll get into your own grove with it I am sure!
I just bought the same one a few days ago!! Its my first car. I'm 20 and still learning how to drive. Ugly!?!?!? I bought it bc i thought it was gorgeous!!!
Nice explanation about the feelings that transmits driving a foxbody Mustang It’s an icon! I have one, and every time I drive it I get compliments or even people talks to me about their memories
Foxbodys are awesome plus can we also point out the fact they did a 4 cylinder turbocharged engine. Now we got it again in the new mustangs, still sucks Ford killed their cars tho freaking loved the fiesta st and focus.
Yup, sad they got rid of those awesome hatchbacks for sure! Glad I got to drive and review both of them! And the 2.3 turbo Fox, the V8 guys hated the fact the SVO was a thing! I’d love to drive a SVO someday!
@@TheDutchTexan my dad had one thats the car i came home in from the hospital when i was born so i have been a fan of the mustang || since i was born in 1983 i would love to have one just for me and my dad to cruise around in it 👍👍
@@TheDutchTexan the peg on the 87-88 Fox with the 85mph speedo, is the odometer reset dial. This is what stopped it from turning all the way around. Awesome Vette story 😂😂 My buddy back in HS had an 86 Berlinetta Camaro, digital dash....the thing would just flash 77 when he reached it, no matter how fast he got that dog up to.
@@jpp9846 got to love that stuff, the government thinking a simple readout limitation would stop people from putting their foot in it. I tend to look at the road when I mat it, not my speedo!
They went out with a bang on the Foxes, that's for sure! I am partial to the 4 eyes with the "pace car" front bumper, but a 1993 Cobra wouldn't be a bad one either! Especially because of the 5 lug setup from factory!
@William Schwartz I loved the Saleen as it had pretty much everything, even race craft suspension, and the one was even supercharged. Man only if I could hit the lottery! I would lose my mind on how many cars I would get.
Gonna be getting a drop top 87 this weekend and I’m super excited. Watching all of these videos get me hyped! Foxbody mustang has always been one of my dream cars.. I’ve always had a weird hatred for mustangs/mustang drivers but these foxbody mustangs never ever caught that hate from me. Sucks they didn’t capitalize off the platform in my opinion. Everything after 93 is ugly.
I think every mustang (even the Mustang II) has something to offer. And you know what they say, if you can't beat them... join them... And a fox will always be cool!
I had a car like this. I was going to the beach i was doing 120 with cruise control on and step on the gas and my head jerk back to the head rest.now that's power.with more to spare.but Mine was a 1990.i loved it.please bring that body style back
It’s becoming harder every day! Honestly, the notches have been growing on me lately... Still like the coupe versions better but I am at a stage where a notch build is just as cool!
All bs aside, I had a 89' fox in college back in 08'. I had the chance at a notch back. I'm 33 now and bought another fox. I day that to say I've been a lil afraid of those notches and my daily is a 2016 srt392 charger. Why I have a wife and kids now. I still don't wanna mess with that notch though, thzzz a BAD B*THCH Y'ALL!
Hey! Welcome! I am glad you liked the review. It was cool to finally drive a Fox. Made me solidly add it to the list of candidates for a project car in the future for sure!
These cars actually ran mid 14s with a manual and a good driver behind the wheel. Even heard stories of guys cracking high 13s stock with a stripper no option lx notch with stock 308 gears which is the fastest form of the 5.0 fox outside of the 93 cobra.
WELL MAN I HAVE A 87 MUSTANG GT AND WITH JUST EXHAUST AND HEADERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE STOCK AND I RAN A 14.1 AT 100MPH AND I HAVE NOT TRIED TO SEE WHAT MY 93 COBRA COULD RUN WITH JUST EXHAUST LOL I THINK I CAN CRACK HIGH 13S.
Clean car!! Same color as my 87 GT. I checked my IG and he follows me on instagram and so do i back. I have almost 1700 followers there so small world.
@@TheDutchTexan Yes! Im a big foxbody enthusiast,ive had 3 of them. After i sold my 96 cobra bought my friends 87 gt and i have a big collection of diecast foxbodys
The fox bodies are awesome!!!!! I hate the red interior in this one and would trade it out for black. Also, mine was stick shift which I also prefer. Mods are EVERYWHERE for these things. TDT says he liked the 82 year model the best. If I remember correctly the 82 was even lighter than the 92....although the 87 to 92 made more power and were easier to use because of the fuel injection. The 88 and later ones had mass air flow instead of the speed density setup on the earlier fuel injected models and they are the ones to have because mods dont mess up their karma.
I love em too. And it's purely based on looks on the 82. That front air dam is just... Glorious! If I end up with one a few years down the line as a channel project car it will ideally receive a 5 speed swap and a mild performance engine as part of the build process.
@@TheDutchTexan I have a 95 mustang gt and my friends barely fit back there. I don't think mustangs were made for tall and big ppl in mind. My dad is 6 ft and he always hits he's head getting out of my car. And yes I agree with you. 😃
If it means the difference between a Fox in the junk yard or one out there taking names? I know which one I would pick! I would never do it myself... well... let’s say highly unlikely. Never say never. My dream fox would have a supercharger sticking out of the hood... No crazy HP figures either, just a mean street-able car. Reality if I were to pick up a fox in a few years? Bolt on 302 not making 300 to the tire 😂
FoxBody mustangs will always look better than the new ones today. Don't Argue with me 🤭💯
I won't! Classic will always have my preference from the heart. The new cars are mighty fine to drive though!

Miss my Fox body, bought in 1989 had it til 2008. 500+hp in 1998+. I had a nostalgic moment and posted up my dyno from VHS 😂
You want another one? 22,000 miles red aswell no flaws????
You got to love that porno red interior, lol... Also, the T5 manual transmission models weight was 135 lbs less.
My 86 trans am has the "porno" red interior. This made me laugh, I've never heard someone call it that.

Ford needs to go back to this style of Mustang. I love the Foxbody Mustang. They were so badass looking!

Gonna be getting a drop top 87 this weekend and I’m super excited. Watching all of these videos get me hyped! Foxbody mustang has always been one of my dream cars.. I’ve always had a weird hatred for mustangs/mustang drivers but these foxbody mustangs never ever caught that hate from me. Sucks they didn’t capitalize off the platform in my opinion. Everything after 93 is ugly.
I think every mustang (even the Mustang II) has something to offer. And you know what they say, if you can't beat them... join them... And a fox will always be cool!
@@TheDutchTexan 😂😂 my 300 srt8 would beg to differ on an undefeated basis. Regardless I’m stoked
My Dad has one of these and imma fix it up so I can hear it again
Good man! We need more foxes on the road!
@@TheDutchTexan it has some water leaks and some unruly residents in it I have to evict such as mice and a colony of yellow jackets
Just wear protection when you clean it out! Hantavirus is a thing!
Really good quality like movie quality, keep it up DT!
I appreciate it! More to come!
Love those foxbody Mustangs
Fox body Mustang with an automatic is such a sin
Not a c4 ;)
I had a 85GT, 95Gt and 2011GT. Full bolt-ons ever time, not the fastest but I loved them all.
Can't go wrong with a V8 mustang IMHO! Every year has it's own appeal to me.
@FBI True enough, but I'm looking for a GT350...after I build a 2nd garage.
I’ve had many mustangs over the years, out of all of them I still miss my 85 GT the most.
I think that is setting you up for another project car right there!
I’m fixing up a 89 convertible now but you’re right another 85 will be in my future.
@@TheDutchTexan is this car still for sale
It never was for sale...
I had a car like this. I was going to the beach i was doing 120 with cruise control on and step on the gas and my head jerk back to the head rest.now that's power.with more to spare.but Mine was a 1990.i loved it.please bring that body style back
Notch allday! if you can find one :)
It’s becoming harder every day! Honestly, the notches have been growing on me lately... Still like the coupe versions better but I am at a stage where a notch build is just as cool!
All bs aside, I had a 89' fox in college back in 08'. I had the chance at a notch back. I'm 33 now and bought another fox. I day that to say I've been a lil afraid of those notches and my daily is a 2016 srt392 charger. Why I have a wife and kids now. I still don't wanna mess with that notch though, thzzz a BAD B*THCH Y'ALL!
New sub here, well done.
Hey! Welcome! I am glad you liked the review. It was cool to finally drive a Fox. Made me solidly add it to the list of candidates for a project car in the future for sure!
Where did a 16 yr old get a beauty like that I’m 16 and want one so damn bad
You got time to realize the dream! Work towards it!
I drove all the way to Alabama to pick it up lol
Love the video i had like 6 of these i uaed to kill the camaros on every corner i turned
I appreciate it!
I just got one exactly like this and i love it
Congrats! I hope you are having a lot of fun with it!
I OWN 87 NOTCH, MAKING IT SSP CLONE😁
SSP's are awesome!
I love the hatchback fr ♥️
As do I, it is an awesome looking car!
ik it’s an old car but are there any usb ports or cigarette lighter outlets
Cigarette lighters are pretty much standard, USB? Definitely wasn't a thing back then. But the aftermarket can help you there!
Happy proud owner of a 93 Reef Blue Metallic coupe.
That is a beautiful color!
@@TheDutchTexan ...and super rare too!
What happened to the AC?
Ill give you a thumbs up just on your shirt alone .
I appreciate it! And it's a true statement in my opinion!
@@TheDutchTexan Damn right it is !
What size cowl hood in the car? 3" rise?
2.5
Just became a new subscriber after this video great content
I appreciate it man! I love doing videos like these when I can, so there will be many more in the future!
Foxbody started 79 not 77
Nope, the foxbody platform was used from 1977 onward. The first foxbody mustang was indeed 1979.
I think the first fox might have been a fairmont
@@timzzz9963 pretty much!
The fow=x body was 79-93 not 77' ;)
These cars actually ran mid 14s with a manual and a good driver behind the wheel. Even heard stories of guys cracking high 13s stock with a stripper no option lx notch with stock 308 gears which is the fastest form of the 5.0 fox outside of the 93 cobra.
WELL MAN I HAVE A 87 MUSTANG GT AND WITH JUST EXHAUST AND HEADERS AND EVERYTHING ELSE STOCK AND I RAN A 14.1 AT 100MPH AND I HAVE NOT TRIED TO SEE WHAT MY 93 COBRA COULD RUN WITH JUST EXHAUST LOL I THINK I CAN CRACK HIGH 13S.
Clean car!! Same color as my 87 GT. I checked my IG and he follows me on instagram and so do i back. I have almost 1700 followers there so small world.
That is one thing that’s for sure, the car world gets pretty small sometimes! Always cool to find a connection where you don’t think there is one!
@@TheDutchTexan Yes! Im a big foxbody enthusiast,ive had 3 of them. After i sold my 96 cobra bought my friends 87 gt and i have a big collection of diecast foxbodys
yes it does looks like the Mad Max interceptor
I will take my 04 interceptor over that rattle box
The car is sweet man lucky kid
It’s receiving some upgrades now! Perhaps there will be an update video down the line!
@@TheDutchTexan nice I'll wait
I just got my first mustang its a 88 gt manual.
awesome video.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
The fox bodies are awesome!!!!! I hate the red interior in this one and would trade it out for black. Also, mine was stick shift which I also prefer. Mods are EVERYWHERE for these things. TDT says he liked the 82 year model the best. If I remember correctly the 82 was even lighter than the 92....although the 87 to 92 made more power and were easier to use because of the fuel injection. The 88 and later ones had mass air flow instead of the speed density setup on the earlier fuel injected models and they are the ones to have because mods dont mess up their karma.
I love em too. And it's purely based on looks on the 82. That front air dam is just... Glorious! If I end up with one a few years down the line as a channel project car it will ideally receive a 5 speed swap and a mild performance engine as part of the build process.
what wheels are those?
Saleen SC style
I'm sry but that's not decent room in the back if you're legs are rubbing the back of the seat.
Compared to the SN95-S197-S550’s? It’s seas of room back there! Decent enough.
@@TheDutchTexan I have a 95 mustang gt and my friends barely fit back there. I don't think mustangs were made for tall and big ppl in mind. My dad is 6 ft and he always hits he's head getting out of my car. And yes I agree with you. 😃
Bro… I need to know what wheels those are I cannot find them!
They are Saleen sc style wheels, I just got rid of them lol. LMR and AM both carry them!
@@joshuatarin8447 they look so good!
@@davidsimmons177 I kept the same look for 5 years, looked great but it was time for something new lol.
@@joshuatarin8447 I get that I have had the same ones for 18 years lol
Actually 79 was the first year of the fox body.
Look up the fox platform...
Great editing man!!! Also what a cool car!! The all red interior is great, and the car is VERY clean! Keep up the great work man!!
Thanks for the props! The red interior is definitely an eye catcher!
An LS motor swap is an unforgivable sin.
If it means the difference between a Fox in the junk yard or one out there taking names? I know which one I would pick! I would never do it myself... well... let’s say highly unlikely. Never say never. My dream fox would have a supercharger sticking out of the hood... No crazy HP figures either, just a mean street-able car. Reality if I were to pick up a fox in a few years? Bolt on 302 not making 300 to the tire 😂
Had a 91 then a 94 a 99 traded it this past weekend for a 93 and so glad I'm back in a fox again
Guess you had to go back to your roots!
Same. Had a 91 and a 2017. Just got back in an 88GT.
Very nice
最高の車！
