- Most guys had a girl as their first love, for me it was the Foxbody Mustang.
Nothing sounds like a Foxbody 5.0.. and you could hear this music all over Miami- they were in every corner… all modified too! In today’s Miami, the Foxbody has been replaced by Lambos & Ferrarraas everywhere. But many… still keep Foxbody’s as their all time favorite ride. ROLLIN IN MY 5.0!

After watching your video today, I bought Flowmaster 50 series Delta Flow for my 347 stroker, aluminum heads, short headers, Foxbody. Looking forward to hear it when installed in 2 weeks!
Sounds like you’ve got a killer build! 💯👊👊
AND A HUGE REASON IS WHY THEY WERE FAST CARS WITH JUST 225HP STOCK HP IS BECAUSE THEY DONT WEIGH SHIT LOL MY 87 MUSTANG GT WEIGHS 2782LBS AND THATS SO LIGHT COMPARED TOO MY 4 SHELBYS.
Fact’s! 💯👊👊
@@HernanSpeed I REALLY WISH THERE WAS A WAY TOO SEE HOW MANY VIBRANT RED 93 COBRAS ARE LEFT OUT OF THE 1007 VIBRANT RED COBRAS
Just had to add I miss the days when we had our Z28, Trans Am, Mustang rivalries in the high school parking lots. The cars were 10+ years old then (my Camaro was closer to 20 since it was a second generation). One guy had a BEAUTIFUL Fox body mustang with 5 speed, chrome pony wheels, a wicked exhaust and this crazy purple metallic paint job. Well, one day someone called it “The Barney Car” and the name Stuck 🤣
Those were the days! 💯💯🚀🚀
In high school, senior year 1981, I drove a 69 Z/28. I worked my ass off to pay $2800 for it. The closest thing to me was a '78 Trans Am and believe me, it wasn't close at all LOL.
@@paulmahon1613 haha as an older man now I’m glad my first car was that smogged out 1981 Z28. I did a lot of fun, yet really dumb, stuff in that car. I don’t want to know what would have happened if I had the power of a ‘69! 🤣
My first car was a black manual 91 lx 5.0 mustang in high school in 1993.. had the flowmasters of course and the H pipe and other tasteful mods.. that car was so sick what great times thanks dad you were the best.!
You had a cool dad! 💯💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed you got that right thanks brotha 💪💪
Still have two Foxes. A 91 GT with a 306 with all the bolt ons and a Vortech, and an 85 Coupe that I have a 408 stroker stashed away for…
Uff! That’s what I’m talkin about! 🙌🙌 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Recently bought an all original 1-owner, 5-speed convertible to flip, but I have had so much fun with it I am thinking about keeping it.
Verts are extra fun!! 💯 You’ll definitely miss it! 💯💯👊👊
Keep it!!! I ABSOLUTELY love mine! And it turns heads everywhere!! 💪
I like the FoxBody , ended up with a New Edge. I've had a 86 Fox, 95 Z28, 87 v8 Regal, 88 Trans Am and a 86 GMC Square body. American car culture is the best, and a true car guy can enjoy almost anything. Except an EV. Nobody can enjoy a "hum" over gas.
SN95’s are stiffened up Foxbody’s! 🙌🙌Yess, that EV hum is everywhere lately! 😆
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Found your channel through this video and wow!
Never seen a review that goes this in depth in depth yet this concise. Absolutely loved the modification disclaimers and details. Keep it up ,man, subbed!
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Got my foxbody around 2yrs ago, my first car at 18yrs old. Love the car, dun to drive, and gets so much attention, never plan to sell it or trade it. Im the 3rd owner, bought it with 104k miles 1993 gt hatchback
That’s what I’m talking about! 💯💯 Never sell! 👊👊
The red drop top mustang in the beginning is actually my builder
Nice! 🙌🙌 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Another great video!! Man, You and I have the same taste in cars. I have '93 LX5.0 sedan, '93 PORSCHE 928 GTS, '95 PORSCHE 968, '87 GTA -5sp, '91 FORMULA 5sp. ALL MANUALS!!! In fact, YOU HAVE MY 968 IN YOUR 968 VIDEO!!! IM IN FORT LAUDERDALE. WE HAVE TO MEET AT A CARS N COFFEE.
You know it! 🙌🙌 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
love my 89 LX. bought it straight out of high school, owned it for 15 years now and have done all the mods mentioned plus more
Never sell! Nice ones are getting hard to find! Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Foxbody for life!
my first car was a 90 GT and i still own and drive it. had many cars and other foxes since but ill be buried in my first one
Facts! 💯💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
The flimsy chassis is from the mid 70's, the brakes are substandard, and the rear suspension is crap. But it's a blank canvas on which you can create something very cool.
The low weight is a big factor, I’ve seen stock LX 5.0 weigh under 2,760lbs! 🔥🚀🚀
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
@HernanSpeed even a stripper lx isn't that light with a v8 in it. I could see 3000 flat bone stock Def not 2700. You could make it 2700 without alot of fuss though maybe you meant a stock car with weight reduction?
Many stock notches have already been weighed at 2,750 to 2,850. No power seats, no sunroof, and even roll up windows 💨 It’s a huge factor of why notches are selling at a premium
So glad to see another upload. Love your vids, especially the C4 vette one. Very into these 80s-90s cars!
That’s the best era in my book! Fun, reliable and simple! 🚀🚀
Thanks for watching! 👊👊
I still have my 85 GT that I bought new in March 1985. The car's been sitting up on blocks for 10 years.
Original owner!! 🔥🔥 You’ve got to get it back on the road!! 🚀👊👊
@@HernanSpeed If only I had the time and money.
You will eventually! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed I'll probably just sell it as is. Won't be easy as this is the first new car I ever purchased.
Put “Original Owner” in the ad! It’ll sell fast! 💨💨
I really love all the imput in your video. I am re building one as we speak. All these details have been reviewed and discussed by me and my buddies, but never all put together in a neat little package like ur video. I really appreciate your insight. Thanks.
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
I got an 1986 for $1500 3-1/2 years ago. It was my friends and I believe I'm roughly the 3rd or 4th owner. It was sitting since 2006. Didn't start, breaks were a little seize, 2 tires were flat.
It took $400 to get it running (fuel pump, fuel filter, battery and cables, oil change, while I'm at it fuel tank gaskets and spark plugs).
Engine was shaking a lot because of the engine mounts falling apart. While I was at it (again..) I spent another $500 for valve cover and oil pan gaskets, oil pump, rear main, clutch, throwout and pilot bearings, pivot ball and fork. Everything seemed original and was seeping oil.
Currently trying to figure out why it's still shaking once it idles down. Tested the vacuum tree last night with a harbor freight hand pump, blocked off the AC (not hooked up) but didn't get a chance to start it. Will try wires next if the vacuum lines aren't the problem.
Once I save up for some tires, I'll be driving it around, even if it does keep shaking.
Great deal! 💯 To find airleaks; sometimes it’s just easier to use an old fashioned smoker 💨
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
I was there. Crazy how it was 30yrs ago when I was racing my 5.0 on the south side of Chicago all night long.
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Agreed. I've owned a few fox bodies over the years. Just recently purchased another one to add to my collection. Great time machine back to a time when the industry was in infancy on these cars and mods.
The simplicity adds to the fun! 💯💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
I had an 88 GT and that car was fun. I traded it before my son was born because I needed something roomier with a growing family but man I miss that car. In my area you never see them on the road anymore.
Yess, I also never see them on the roads anymore! 💯💯 You’ll get another one in the future!
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
I own a '85 Mercury Capri RS, a '86 Mustang GT, a '91 LX, and a '93 GT. I'm an old fart, they're all vehicles I bought for a grand or 2 in the late 90s through the mid 2000s.
It's absolutely insane to see what people pay for these things now days... I remember being able to buy entire parts cars for 300-500 bucks that were complete enough to drive home. Between myself and my circle of friends back then there was probably never less then 20 of these things sitting around at any given time, in back yards and storage units and whatnot. Never had to look too hard to find parts.
Was a couple really good years there where it seemed like everyone had a buddy who just went and got a 03/04 Cobra (believe it or not those were like $12-15k when they were 2 or 3 years old) and was looking to unload all their foxbody and 302/351 stuff for a case of beer and a handshake.
You speak Facts! 💯💯
Awesome video! I currently own an 88 lx hatchback. Its been with me since Dec 2011. A lot of work has been done to it especially the interior. I ended up having my dashboard vinyl wrapped in flat black texture to give it a luxury look. Other interior pieces also have been vinyl wrapped too! Gotta love the foxbodys! :D
Vinyl lasts forever! 💯💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Great to get a new video!
Thanks for watching! 👊👊
I bought my 340 high compression 1970 Duster for $3k cash with only 50k miles on it. Headers, traction, L60 tires. That was the going price back then. Yeah I totaled it but pulled the engine/trans and bought another 6 cylinder and did a swap. Cars (and gas) were a lot cheaper plus we had 4 local drag strips! Atco, Englishtown, Maple grove and Cecil County. I luv the F body stang but I'm older now so drive the gentlemen's s550, more refined.
S550 is a great Stang! 👊👊
I remember test driving a New 1969 Dart swinger 340 4 speed with 3.91 Gears, it went like stink and the price was $2896.00.
Great video bro!
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Absolutely insane that no one wanted these cars in the early 2000s and late 90s. You could get one for 1500 back then.
I remember you could get the Patrol cars for $1,500 at the local Police auction here in Miami. Times have changed! 💯💯
Ive owned my foxbody now for 2 years hands down the rawest car ive ever driven with my old 07 3v being 2nd these cars are a fun experience even with 200hp its that low end 300tq in these lightweight cars that make them fun to drive
Facts! 💯💯 The ‘Torque to Weight’ ratio is what makes it extra RAWW! 🔥🔥
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
If you're broke you can just buy a $15 aluminum shifter arm, it bolts directly to the shifter assembly bypassing the heavy factory steel shifter arms rubber bushings giving you a solid feeling shift.
Correct! 💯💯 And it’s a massive improvement in shift feel! Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Cause everyone miss the 80’s and 90’s.😇
You know it! 💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed Yes sir! Great clip! Peace!😇☮️👍👍
Great vid, love the fox body
Thanks for watching man! 👊👊
My goodness watching this video makes me really want to get a foxbody again
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Ive daily drove foxes all my life. Nothing like them. Heads, cam exhaust, intake can get that 220 hp up to 365 hp range. Those E7 heads make it slow as hell.
You speak only the facts! 💯💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
You are right and if you have a lightened stripper lx coupe you can be well under 3k lbs. That is enough to make a solid hci setup quick with a gear, tire and a driver behind the wheel. People these days judge everything off hp what matters is average power and torque as well as gearing and power to weight plus the driver. Simply watching peak hp and tq is only a small part of it but that is what everyone hyperfocuses on today.
Cool vid.i enjoyed
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Haha I was just thinking after watching your Firebird, Camaro and Vette videos that you should do the Fox body mustang next. I don’t even like Fords but I will still be watching this one. 👍
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Man I love my foxbodys got my 1st one 2009 but when someone is buying a foxbody look for torque boxes and look at the a piller to see if it’s been beating on lol
Fact! 💯💯 Great tip! 👊👊
Awesome Video
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
I bought mine in 1996. I am the 26th owner according to the paperwork lol
Lol! 😆 Take good care of it! They’re getting much harder to find in nice condition!
Thanks for watching brother! 💯💯
Ive had mine back on the Road 2 days now after 8 years on blocks and 25k invested... Ya its a Vert but I love it! Ive also got a 94 Gt 5.0 Black on Black Vert. Not a Fox but has only 78, xxx kms...
That’s a Fox! SN95’s are stiffened up Foxbody’s underneath! Video coming soon 💯💯
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed Subbed and sticking around! 👍👍🤙
🙌🙌
I had a 87 mustang in 97. Then an 83 Ford Fairmont in 23. Cool cars. But ended up with the 2003 Marauder because that's what I really wanted instead.
The Marauder is the BEST of the Panther platform! Those things can do 1 million miles! 🔥🔥💪💪
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Great video! I got a 92 GT
Never sell it! 🔥🔥 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
the fox mustang has two real advantages the first is it is lite weight, the second is it has a large engine compartment, Horsepower wise they don't have near the power of any of the new performance cars.
Facts 💯💯 The weight is the biggest factor, many Fox’s weigh less than 2,800lbs. I’d say that 400hp is a bare minimum on today’s heavy 4,000lbs+ cars
@@HernanSpeed i own 4 Mustangs 2 fox bodys an SN95 and a Cobra II, I Would trade all 4, If I could have My 1970 Mach I Back.
Nothing beats a classic Stang, the prices on those Mach 1’s keep going up! I also wish to have one in my garage…one day! 🙌🙌
@@HernanSpeed I owned a1970 351 4 speed from1970 to 1977 then like a fool i traded it on a new Ford Pickup. I kick my azz ever since.
Love these cars. Im glad I own one.
They don’t make them like the Fox anymore! 💯💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
For anyone getting an exhaust for a foxbody, don't get blowmasters. The drone like no other. Worst mufflers you can get, period.
When I got my 2nd foxbody, it had blowmaster 40s, I got it in San Diego and drive it to LA... My brother was waiting for me with my ramps because I called him and told em I was tired of the drone 30min into the drive home. Cut those turds off before the exhaust cooled off and straight to the bin they went. Get an absorption style muffler like a magnaflow or borla and avoid anything chambered.
Those things were only popular back then because they were the cheapest option muffler shops had on hand.
I wouldn’t mess with perfection, people with massive budgets put them in their builds.. The 40’s are 2-chambers, I recommend 3-chambers (no drone, just music)💯💯
There are higher quality units of course, but sound quality goes down if not chambered.
Thanks for watching! 👊👊
I almost bought a foxbody, but I ended up getting an 88 Firebird WS6 instead for $2500.
Getting an amazing deal is a big part of the fun! 💯💯👊👊
@@HernanSpeed Oh and so is the part where I have to finish the project and get it running. At least its got a good body, engine, and trans. Was in a barn or garage for a long time and the last person started on it and never finished it.
The body is the most important part 💯, I’ve seen many people get into a project that didn’t have good bones.. Firebirds are amazing, it’ll be amazing when done! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed I bought a standalone for it since the original harness is chewed up, hopefully that gets it to run. I hooked the battery up the other day and the little motor on the rear hatch came on and closed the rear hatch so there's signs of life.
👊👊👊
Simple succinct video on Fox bodies.
Thanks for watching! 👊👊
I’ll take one, or two!! 🔥🔥
Or three! 👊👊
Definite Fox body fan!!!!!!!!!
Me too!!! 👊👊👊
" You just breathe on it and you increase horsepower" actually it took quite a bit of money for parts to get just 300hp. Now the new coyote motor...responds very well to basic parts.
Have you priced out a Cayote swap? At least $15k+ for a basic swap, more if your want to do it right.
The original 5.0 is worth it for the sound alone! 🙌🙌🚀🚀
@@HernanSpeed I agree. I wasn't saying "swap in the coyote motor". What i was saying is they respond to parts way better to make hp. I have an 82 in my garage....love fox bodies...just takes quite a bit of money to make them fast is all.
It will always be hard to beat modern cars in a race, you would need 700hp + all wheel drive!
That’s why Foxbody’s are only for having fun, no need to spend a fortune making them faster than everything else… 🙌🙌
You can get 300+ with ported explorer heads and intake and a decent cam plus headers and exhaust. I'm talking wheel hp too with even higher torque. That is enough to make them quick. The coyote has 4v heads and vct, 7000 rpm stock and 11:1 compression. Of course it responds well to mods lol. Not even a fair comparison at all.
@Immutablecrypto it don't take alot of money to make them fast because you don't have to have nearly as much power in order to be fast...a lightened stripper lx can be well under 3k lbs.
Love the fox but prices are nuts. Got a terminator for a good price
You get a lot car with the Terminator, easy to up the boost too! 🚀🚀👊
I had a 1990 lx 5.0 5spd teal white leather convertible with chrome stars in 96 i was 16.. bought it for 5k from my uncle super clean under 50k miles… looking for another one exact…And no luck..
Yes, the market has gone crazy on these….even the convertibles! 💯💯
Ppl missed that boat. The foxbodies that are left are mad expensive. Got mine right before ppl found out about them
Correct! 💯💯 Especially the clean ones
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
You can still find deals out there maybe not deals like the ones from the 00s but ive seen some out there
You’ve got to be ready with cash in hand! 💵💵💵
Had em all my life , people will never experience what I got to experience back in 91, friend got a new one I'll never forget how crisp and fast that car was, I have a 88 I restored everything except interior, that's next, it's now a 331 stroker fully built fast as hell I love it, built it myself at home, was red with Grey interior now it's black with Grey completely new everything paint trim windows, I guess you might say I'm chasing what I experienced back in 91
I LOVE MY 87 MUSTANG GT AND BACK IN THE 90S IT WAS A VERY FAST CAR WITH JUST EXHAUST AND HEADERS AND UNDER DRIVE PULLIES
Not my cup of tea. But I do not think I would complain if I get one.
then why get it if the "tea" is going to get cold...
I just got one for 6000 dollars, 60k miles and in great condition. Just needs a new paint job.
Wow!! You stole it! 🔥🔥👊👊
Do the W220 S65 AMG in the future?
Man you know it! 🙌🙌 The S65 AMG has a beast of a motor!
Same reason they bought them new. Mass produced cheap with a reliable pushrod v8. Cant go wrong vs buying some new dohc with all them timing chain problems
You speak facts! 💯💯 Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
wasnt this video already uploaded? i feel like i watched this before haha.
Yesss! I had to re-upload, missing parts! I’m still learning to edit. Learning anything new after hitting the 40’s isn’t easy! 😆
@@HernanSpeed haha! hey man I dont mind watching it again! great video bro.
Thanks bro! 🙌🙌
I love a Foxbody, one of my favorite Mustangs, but lets be honest, the old pushrod 302 isn't all that. They don't make great power and they cannot handle very much HP, they reach their limits pretty quickly. The 4.6 Mod Motor was vastly superior in every aspect.
To me the 5.0’s are worth it for the sound alone! 🙌🙌 But your correct, the 4.6’s easily do over 300k with no problems. I know of many Crown Vic’s with over 450k miles on the original engine. Will be doing an SN95 vid soon!
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed They do sound great. I wasn't really talking reliability. Both a 302 and Mod Motor should be very reliable but the 302s can't take a lot of power, they're just not strong.
Yes, anything over 350hp is risky with the stock block. But you don’t need more than 300hp to have a lot of fun on a Foxbody, the noches are under 3,000lbs!
Correction Mac mufflers are god of the mustang exhaust, they out flowed out performed and sounded better then chockmasters I mean flowmasters and yes it was dunno tested and proven.
Out flowing doesn’t increase HP, it actually reduces low end torque on a stockish 5.0…that’s why the 3-chambers outperform the 2-chambers. Thanks for watching! 👊👊
Actually Mac mufflers gave you 2-3 hp more over flowmaster mufflers other than sound thats why Mac’s were always king on the foxbody mustang.
We had a few shops down here in Miami that only sold Mac exhaust systems, definitely popular with many. Flows is what everyone had, at least here in Miami ☀️
Yeah around these parts and I’m going back 26+ years now, we all ripped off the flows and went Mac. Hell even today you can’t hardly touch Mac. You see Mac on marketplace for sale you gotta jump on them fast and fork over that fat cash to score some. Wish they was still in business, someone needs to bring them back. All 3 of my fox cars have full Mac on them. I currently have a 87 gt vert, an 89 gt vert, and a 87 gt ttop hatch. I’m one of the OG fox guys from way back in the day in my area. Bought my 1st fox when I was 15 and haven’t gave them up yet at 41.
Never sell those Foxes! I always regretted selling my first Fox.. The Mac’s are pricey compared with the flows, they last longer. Yes, you’ve got to jump on them when you see a deal! 💯💯
I want one! a 1993 hard top!
You know it! 👊👊
I have one i want another the addiction is REAL 🦊🐎👊🇺🇸💪
Tell me about it! Even my brother has two! But wants another! 🙌🙌
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
I wanted a Foxbody, I could only afford a Crown Vic tho...
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
Your first fox body was in 95? Bro you look every bit of 25 😂
Ouch! 😆😆 I’m turning 45 in July. But Fox Body’s make me feel younger, that’s for sure! Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
So, how much would you say a original electric red 1993 mustang lx hatchback with 47,000 miles is worth? No motor or transmission. 100 % no rust anywhere.
Pull the Carfax on it, put it with the pictures in the ad! If it’s an original 5.0 with a clean record, it will sell for a premium!
Make sure to include the CarFax, so you attract real buyers with cash! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed ok. Thanks for the advice
👊👊👊
I've got my 88 gt I've owned for a long time.
Never sell it! 👊👊💯💯
@@HernanSpeed it's not for sale it will be passed down to my son.
I smoked these in high school in my 73 Chevy Cheyenne long bed truck😂
If it’s was 4WD, its about 4300-4400 lbs(just the truck). So you must have pumping over 550hp+ to beat a stock LX 5.0. Sounds like fast ride 💨
Thanks for watching! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed don’t forget a stock 5.0 in 79 was only 140hp.
Fact 💯, not many of those left unfortunately
Okay, I gotta say it- the best Fox body Mustang is the 87-88 Fox Thunderbird. Cheap with a 5.0 and much better looking.
Okay learned to drive in an 86 Tbird! It was a 5.0, but not the H.O. engine. It was fun! 👊👊
The t-birds are more comfortable cars but they look like a Mustang that's eaten too many Twinkies.
Yes indeed! White gt cobra with turbine rims is the dream car as a kid
i had over 16 of these when i was younger its all i baught from 16 to 32
Sounds like you’ve had some good times! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed Tons of fun . 5.0s from mild to wild always fun . Had kids and that was the end . My kids just left the nest and now im on the hunt to put a pushrod motor into a new edge . I love the foxes but im over it .
Yess, the sound alone of that pushrod 5.0 makes it worth it! I’ve got an SN95 video coming soon….it’s a Stiffened up Foxbody underneath 👊👊
I had 2 Fox bodies years ago, fun cars but the manual transmissions sucked.
The stock Trans is strong, it takes a beating! But…everyone beats on it. Definitely worth upgrading to a proper T-56 if the car is gonna take a pounding! 💯👊👊
@@HernanSpeed I agree too bad Tremec's were not available.
When did you have your Fox’s? People have been putting T-56’s & TKO’s in the Fox’s since the early 2000’s. Even more options now 💪

I have a 93 lx with the 2.3 4 banger in it still I get hate all the time put v8 in it put ls in maybe one day I like the 4 cylinder it's good on gas and I don't get no tickets need a 92 93 donor car so I can you make it look a factory not no hack job
4 bangers are selling for what GT’s did just a few years ago! 💯👊👊
Keep an eye out for a Turbo Coupe in the wrecking yard so you can grab the 2.3 Lima turbo engine. They're lighter than the V8 and make tons of power with more boost.
4.9 liter actually
Correct! 💯 The Gen 1 & 2 Coyote 5.0’s are also 4.9’s. Ford finally made it a real 5.0 with the Coyote Gen-3. All great engines! 🔥🔥
Thanks for watching Eric! 👊👊
2v sounds better then a 5.0. So does a 4v. 4.6 go brr😮💨
The sound on the pushrod 5.0 is legendary. According to Ford engineers, they even tried to duplicate that sound on the 4.6. I think they came close! 💯💯 (stock VS stock)
Thanks for watching! 👊👊
Very cool cars for sure. Overpriced at this point, yes lol.
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
I had a 4 banger that had 120miles on the clock that i bought for 700 bucks but due to financial issues i had to get rid of it but i wish i kept it it would be fantastic swap with a v8 swap or hell anything other than that shit 4 banger
Bro, everyone is now looking for those 4 bangers to do swaps! 💯💯 It’s even hard to find clean ones!
@HernanSpeed yeah man it's so sad I litterly had one of my favorite cars on my hand and was basically forced to sell it. I'll never find another like it for the price I got it for.
You’ll get another, it will be even better! Believe it! 👊👊
@HernanSpeed hahaha yeah maybe one day I'll find a foxbody with no engine and do a 351 or maybe even a coyote swap
🔥🔥👊👊
I always loved the rear drum brakes, 4-lug wheels, lack of an oil cooler, 6th grader styling and taxi cab interiors (as recently described by Hemmings which was being kind) in the fox boxes. All that just screams high performance!!.
That’s like going to the beach and complaining about the salt in the water 💦 Toys don’t have to be justified with logic👊👊
They are essentially a blank canvas. What do you want to create? Everything is available aftermarket.
@@mchristr Maybe sleek styling? 4-wheel disc brakes? 5 lug wheels? Engine oil cooler?
@jukeboxzero1 Those are easy mods done in a weekend.. What car are you comparing the Foxbody to??
You're a little late to the party, sales have slowed drastically on foxes, that being said I have a stock low mileage 93 Cobra Drivetrain sitting in my shed i just can't find a use for
Not for the nice ones☝️(based on auction results) 👊
Vanilla Ice 😂
Rollin in my 5.0! 🚀🚀 Thanks for watching! 👊👊
Got a 83 bubble back
Anyone want it ?
4 eyed 5.0 manual
Bro, take a video of it and post it on RUclips. All you need is your phone! It will sell fast! 💨💨 Do it! 👊👊
3 chambers dont fit in the tight space.
They’re bolt on’s, no mods needed 💯💯 You’ve got to make sure they’re the ones for the Foxbody’s, they make 3 chambers for a lot of applications. Thanks for watching! 👊👊
Why is this 6 month old video saying 7 days ago?
I had to re-upload because it was missing a few parts, I’m still learning this whole thing. Thanks for watching bro 👊
@@HernanSpeed awesome job man, great video. I own 6 fox's, one being a 93 cobra #1045.
Man! That’s what I’m talking about! 🔥👊👊
Why is everyone building a Fox Body? I had friends with them in college in the early 2000’s and they were such garbage. Broken door handles always, cheep interior and just puss poor build quality. Sure it was a 5.0 v8 making 220hp which was ok back then but I just see the appeal. The Z28 was no better and a bit less reliable as I had friends with those also..
Because they’re cool 💯😎 Thanks for watching man! 👊👊
Yes you rode in ones that were put through hell and never maintained it's all who owns somthing. If you abuse anything it does not last and mine lasted and it was one wild ride DONE RIGHT FASTEST IN MY TOWN!
Foxbodys are expensive now its 2 late to get one
Yes, deals are getting harder to find. 💯💯 But the maintenance is cheap, so you can save a lot as a daily daily(as long as you get a nice one)
Thanks for watching brother! 👊👊
No its not to late. just have to be patience and watch what your buying.
And have cash in hand! Deals go quick! 💨💨
@@HernanSpeed I got 1 I'm going to be selling. It's the one in my avatar.
Cos they're sexy, innit.
Facts 💯💯👊👊
It’s cheaper than a new mustang. I rather buy something new with a warranty.
Thanks for watching! 👊👊
As a former Fox body owner, this video is beyond dumb. If you find one clean enough that it has the original air box on it, that things going to cost like $30k and you're actually an A hole if mod something that rare. If you do mod it, your looking at around $5k to be a fast as a new stock 4 cylinder EcoBoost Mustang(13.2@103 MSRP $30,920), and at least $10k to be as fast as a new stock GT(12.2@117 MSRP $42,460). The only few that buy these are the doing it for the nostalgia. This video is like 20 years out of date and an absolute joke.
Lots of Foxbody owners throwing over $100k on mod’s, on top of the purchase price! 🚀 Ain’t no Foxbody enthusiasts cross shopping with a newer car, that easily weighs 1,000lbs++ more.
Thanks for watching! 👊👊
@@HernanSpeed you are a pathetic human being.
Owned a ton of fox mustangs and it's a car you need to dump $30k into just to make it respectable. Stock they are rental cars with no power and terrible brakes and handling. Watched 3 kids kill themselves in the first week of owning one.
What car are you comparing the Foxbody to?
@@HernanSpeed seeing the prices right now just doesn’t make sense given the performance. But your take on them was spot on. I’ve owned 9 foxbodies and raced them for years. The stock trans is fragile and doesn’t last. The rearend snaps axles like butter. Like I said you need to dump $30-50k to make it handle/ accelerate like a $20k corvette.
Yes, you get more performance for the money with the Corvette…but only 2 seats. I’ve taken out the Foxbody out with my Wife + 3 kids… We always have a blast! 🚀🚀
If you really want speed, Tesla’s are selling under $20k 👊
@@HernanSpeed You don't have to convince me I love the fox body cars! Hence owning a ton of them out of my 40+ hot rods ive owned.

I'm not buying one. Everything between 70 and 07 is a Mustake.
Interesting point of view. Thanks for watching! 👊👊
The motor is straight dog shit . If you want to make power on a pushrod 302 you need a Dart or Man o War block.
I like the pushrod 302 for the sound alone! Lots of options to make big power! 👊👊
ur full of straight BS
@@HernanSpeed sure it sounds good but it’s going to split the block like an egg around the 500hp mark. Ask me how I know…
Being limited to 500hp or less is unacceptable by 2024 standards.
You speak facts, the block won’t take 500hp. The only reason go with big power is to race… rear wheel drive is the biggest issue. Here in Miami, it’s flooded with Tesla’s. In 2024, you must have all wheel drive to even play the racing game (in Miami at least).
That’s why the Foxbody is about having fun, not trying to dominate the streets. The factory 5.0 is more than enough 💯💯
The stock roller block with excellent machine work is good for 500 hp if you get the tune right. It's all about lightweight internals and valvetrain geometry.
Hey, not everybody. Yuk!
I LOVE IT! 🔥🔥 Thanks for watching! 👊👊
Agree.
Nobody is buying a fox mustang.
Everyone is! 💯 Thanks for watching!👊👊
Everyone is buying foxbodies
I had a 91 fox body 5.0 but i didnt like it at all o felt in love with 94 to 98 4.6 looks beter wide body looks more agresive damm i love my sn95 👌🔥
SN95 uses a stiffened up Foxbody platform! 💯💯 Video coming soon!
