I've had coupes convertibles and lx hatches as well as gts but the gt has always been my favorite looking for another at the moment. Currently I have a built 1980 ford fairmont wagon
I love my 91 LX Vert. But when I was growing up the GT was the car. It was the best looking car too. The GT convertible even more desirable. A GT convertible cost the most money to buy, the most expensive from the dealership. I love a notch too but the GT is still the best looking to me.
I'm sorry, but the GT's were the boy racer Mustangs back in the day. Everyone I knew, including myself, liked the cleaner look of the LX, usually a hatchback. In my opinion, I didn't like the ground effects Ford put on them, but it was the 80's and everybody was doing it.
Enjoy your channel, GT 5-ohs have always been my favorite mustang. Own a low mileage GT 55,000 miles, can't get it out before someone won't to buy. Wishing I had bought several.
The GT’s are very hard to find,I’ve seen notches that come out in the nice weather every once in a while and hatchbacks. More 4 cyl lx’s then anything but to see a nice GT it’s the rarest.I’m a lucky guy to have a emerald green on titanium. I love my GT and get compliments everytime I’m out with it. You also have to keep in my there was no 4 cyl GT’s all of them had factory v8’s. I love all foxbodys and have had a couple notchbacks but this GT is my fav.
GT's are the best in my opinion. When I was a kid my neighbor had a white 93 gt took me for rides in it and I feel in love. Finally 20 years after those car rides I got my own mint condition white 93 gt and I'm in love with it.
Infamous you are right on the money sir I have an 88 gt all original fully loaded with 90.000 miles for 29 years and an 1995 SN95 for 5 years they say 94 95 is the next collector cars the last year of the 5.0
I definitely agree I am the proud owner of an all black and gray interior 89 GT supercharged 306 had it since 2002 been sitting in my race car trailer with the motor out it's not out in the rain or any bad weather so it's sort of like time capsule and I am so happy to have come across this video and hear your insight about GT's great video thanks again
I have a 87 GT vert with manual trans, manual windows, no cruise, no radio.. I need to do a Marti Report for sure but I think it's an ordered car. I would love to have a GT hatch tho
I agree with everything you are saying...the GT in the picture at the beginning of your video..is the exact color to my first GT......I bought in 1989.it was a 88.back in that year there is no way I would have had a LX..I didn't get a LX until almost 10 years later.as far as the jelly been SN95 I hated that car it plowed like a dump truck in curves and it was so down tuned..that a little grànny in a Toyota could out run... it's not a bad looking car if it would have come with about a 100 more Horsepower I could have maybe liked it maybe 😁
So I have a GT convertible. So I should be all set then. That was well said. This is my fifth one and my first GT. Love the fog lights and the body kit. Especially the cheese graters.
What about a 1987 lx 5.0l t-top? I have one, and for years I have not been able to find many of them. From what I understand, it’s the first year of the body change, from 86 to 87, and the last year of the t-tops FOR the LX. The GT was discontinued and early, 88 from what I understand.
I know you're talkin' Aero Years, when I got into foxbodies about 4 years back didn't know my '84 T-Top GT was... so *few around* until I started watching foxbody car shows. Lucky to see 5 out of a 100 4-eyes. lol Let alone it being a T-Top that I "Stumbled Into." lol
Great insights. Vert prices are already ridiculous. Just from a year ago! Got a friend wanting one, I've been on the lookout for him. I've already told him, be prepared to pay $2-3k over last year's prices. It'll be interesting to see Spring 2022 prices The GT parking/fog light mod 👍🔥
Funny man I’ve been saying this for a while now, I got a 1993 reef blue gt in absolute stunning condition which is for sale at the moment and I get nothing but people bashing me saying it’s not a cobra. Then proceed to tell me what they are willing to pay lol Growing up I was not a fan but the 93 reef and electric red gts always caught my eye. Got my heart set on an electric red gt with black top and leather but been looking for years as it is
I've had my share of lx foxbodies from hatches to coupes even 1 ssp coupe. But out of all those foxes I owned one GT. It was the smoke grey with the titanium on the bottom. Red pinstripe around the moldings. Also had the red interior with the tweed seats. I picked up that car in 2010 for $3300! I still wish to this day I kept it. So that being said, I am on the hunt for another one! Or if I can find that very car I will buy it on the spot. But for now, I just got out of a car payment with my 2013 Mustang GT in grabber blue. While the search is on for a fox, I am focusing more on getting my new garage built and business going. Then I'll be able to find that GT I have been desiring.
The lx isn't that much lighter. It is quicker ecspecially a notch but they are expensive and hard to find there isn't THAT much difference between them people kind of exxagerate the weight difference honestly. It's not like there is a 500 lbs difference or something its prob less than 100 lbs between a loaded gt hard top and a stripped lx.
i just picked up a 91 gt w factory sunroof option and of course its a stick lol. it has shorty headers, full exhaust, 410 or 11 gears, short throw shifter, gray interior, has a cervini twin turbo hood, and even still has the cheese graters. it was originally red but was painted black with dark gray stripes. the engine is stock never opened and there is no rust. the seats are in really great shape and only need a cleaning. the biggest thing it needs is a headliner which is nothing. has little over 120k on it 123k to be exact. has 2 gauges in the a pillar pod. silver cobra r 5 stars on it also. i paid 5600 for it which after looking for one for quite some time is a damn good deal. guy i bought it off of owned it for 25 years. it isnt my first fox though. im pretty excited to be back in a fox though for sure. especially for a good price which is quite impossible today. the paint on it now is good but i kinda want to return it to the oem red. we'll see though thats for sure. back in the day the gt was THE car to get period. almost forgot it has shaved door handles as well. problem is he lost the remote and i have no idea how to go about finding a remote that works.
Have had my 88 GT vert for 20+ years now California car so it had mass air from the factory Lots of work done, by a professional shop. Original engine rebuilt and bored .060 over, HCI, headers, gears, aluminum driveshaft and radiator. Saved all the original parts in case I wanted to return to stock, 🤣 If not for the Cobra wheels and wide low profile tires, you'd think it was stock, until you opened the hood. Best bang for the buck then and now. Hold onto to yours, they're only going up in value.
Have a 93 GT hatchback. Very clean low miles. I might get flack restomodding it from wrecked gt500 2018-2021 but it’s what I want. To me it’ll be worth it.
Totally agree brother. You are correct, the special and rare ones (Cobra, Saleen, SAK cars, DECH) will always outperform the others, but I also think the "Nice" LX's will continue to increase. But for sure, the GT's will begin to dry up and as soon as the nice ones are snatched up.....so go the Prices!!! Keep up the great Foxbody content!!! Joseph
I think you are spot on the GT is next then the verts. Personally when the fox was new they GT was the one to have. By around y2k it became dated to me and I started to like the coupe and lx hatch better. Well now as time has gone on im again a fan of the GT and cheese graters 😝
I actually would love the zephyr or zephyr wagon..Ltd...they are going up in prices....I would like to get the wagon and put mustang body kit on it..it should all fit.they are foxbodys.
You're 100% correct. GTs were the must have Fox. My dad said that I should get the notch, I said not a chance, then he said you wait, they will be the most desirable of all of them. He was right. He even said at a Ford dealership that the most desirable fox notch would be the black on black with no options. The car was $11,000 back then. I wish he would have bought it. He knew his stuff!
I got lucky and grabbed mine before the huge market hit. I was able to get mine for 10k early 2020. And you’re right finding a clean gt is almost impossible to find.
I got my GT two years ago. It took me a long time to find a clean one with a stick shift which is what I wanted. It has been a lot of fun and I hope to keep it for a long time. I agree with everything you said.
I had a clean 89 gt 5 speed hardtop back in 2004 115k straight clean title I sold it for 3500. Seeing prices on them currently makes me sick to my stomach lol. It was Oxford white with a red pinstripe and red interior. Had 3 foxes but that one was definitely the cleanest and best condition top to bottom.
What's up with the... my car is a gt..run the vin.. it says gt..but I live in canada..my ownership says its an LX.same vin but registered as lx and not gt.
The movie Friday had a gt drop top it was the car they thought was gonna do a drive by just before the van came by and actually did the drive by. It was a black on black car lowered with dark windows.
Silence of the lambs she drove a Fox body vanilla ice had a fox body the new fast and furious were they showed him and his brother growing up his brother drove a fox body sure there's a few more movies can't think of right now
My uncle used to own an 88 gt, I never saw the car in person but I’ve seen it in photos, and it made me want a foxbody. I ended up getting my 85 gt t-top because of it, and I’ve been trying to convince him to get one once again, maybe this will help him.
Everyone has there own opinions. For me personally I think with a muscle/pony car the cool factor is buying a stripped down no power options v8 under the hood and a stick shift. There light and built for one thing. Back in the day if you bought a GT or cobra you had the cash. But the street racers and guys who actually drove the cars bought an LX.
I mean I get what you're saying the lx is the more performance oriented option ecspecially the notch but they are hard to find and pretty expensive now and the performance isn't that much different between them. Weight matters but there isn't THAT much weight difference between them. I prefer the lighter model too if picking but like I said there isn't a huge weight difference between them. Just like the 94 up cars they are heavier but not THAT much heavier and still way lighter than today's cars and the 94 up cars are built better inside and out and come better equipped with 4 wheel discs, 5 lug, stiffer chassis and alot more room for wide tires etc etc and can be had much cheaper right now compared to fox bodies. The 96 up mod motor cars are more ideal for coyote swaps also since you can reuse alot of the oem components that have to be swapped when swapping a fox. The sn cars are the ones to get bang for the buck wise and they can really look badass with the right mods.
While I’m not going to disagree with you about the Gt’s. I bought my first Mustang new in 1993. I had the choice of a Gt or a Lx 5.0. Since I had been hanging with the street racing crowd it was known that the Lx’s were a bit lighter. So, I went with the Lx 5.0. I always liked the way the tailpipes were exposed. Either way, enjoyed the video.
I bought my 87 GT back in 2015 just before the prices started to go up and the reason I got the one I did was because almost all of them were completely clapped out, one had a barrel latch from a gate keeping the passenger door closed and they wanted (if I remember correctly) $2500 for it now because it had a bunch of aftermarket go fast parts on it, my 87 was completely stock AOD with manual windows and mirrors BUT power locks, cruse control, and rear window defroster in Scarlet Red and red/black interior and I picked it up for $2300 now a parts car is going for that much! I agree the GT's will start to become the hot one to have since I'm old enough to remember that the GT was the one everyone wanted back when these cars were new but they were expensive! then 10 years later as they became just old used cars many High Schoolers bought them and subsequently beat them to death! my guess is that most 5.0 Mustangs have been though High School at least once and probable more than that! Also Bill and Teds excellent Adventure had a vert in it.
Man I've been saying this for a couple yrs now, ppl look at me like I got 3 heads when I say it but I firmly believe the 87-93 GT cars are the next ones to invest in. I was always a 85/6 GT and LX hatch guy but I have a whole new appreciation for post 86 GT cars, I love them now, only took 34yrs,lol.
Bro really like your convertible asc mclaren the all black one can i ask how much have you invested in it? and where would be a place to buy one like that as im looking to build some very similar to yours as its so cool.
Been watching you off and on for a few years. I think I found your page before any of the other fox pages. I'm in Oklahoma so it would be cool to run into you at a show next year!
Vanilla Ice, Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze! I wanted a GT when I bought my LX but the ones I looked at were clapped out and too much money. The LX I bought needed work and still needs work but it's getting there, it was tight with no rust at all for $3300 so I bought it, in it about $7000 right now
The GT's fastback and wing with rear skirts just looks...bad ass even the cheese graters are awesome but a PITA to deal with. 50-70 grand for 93 Cobras priced me right out of wanting one, they're too easy to clone and has me somewhat looking at 94-95's
The sn cars are the way to go right now they are better put together inside and out and are better equipped stock with 4 wheel discs on all models, 5 lug, alot more room for wide fires and a stiffer chassis from the factory etc etc and they really aren't THAT much heavier ecspecially compared to fox cobras and gts there is very little weight difference between them. The sn cars can be had ALOT cheaper than the fox at least right now and they can look so good when modded right to me it's a no brainer. I have owned multiple cars from both platforms so I'm familiar with both.
Man, you are bustin' my bubble with the two 93 LX hatches I have.... but I get it. I was planning on either adding the DECH or Saleen kit (as a tasteful clone) to one of them. Still looking to grab that Miller Lite in G-Town!
@@foxgarage8505 the lx is the more sought after one they usually sell higher but what he's saying in this video is the gt will continue to rise more over the years and may actually equal it or overtake it in the future. Nobody is bashing an lx or at least anyone who knows what they're talking about aren't bashing them. We all know they are the most sought after ecspecially the notch that is why they go for what they go for
Nice publicity stunt....lets say that when this becomes true and your infinite wisdom in the fox market takes off ...you will have first dibs to all the notchback cars that are not getting bought then ......I ave a question ... when are you gonna own a ttop notch car or. Make a ttop conversion how to? ...just saying Mr TIP. Thx for tye content.
You can never have too many of a good thing....notchback cars are getting old like wine not milk.... Gt hatchbacks look hella good....Mr brew2L has a 2 tone paint gt ...vermilion red upper ...titanium silver lower...bad ads cart in its own right... NorthEastOhioMustang has a black hatch....killer set up...but it'isnt a NOTCH....the only way a hatch will look as good or be on the same level as a notch is to get a notch roof slapped on the hatchback body....that was my thought when you crushed that silver notch donor car with all the rusted bottom but good roof top....man I was cussing you the f_out but it is what it should not have happened to that notch roof.... Thx for the content and thank you for inspiring us or at least some of you followers with your content.
I have seen a 1988 convertible with a notch roof welded on here in the bay area....Oakland area to be exact....looked really good ..he kept the convertible doors on it and I said to myself ...well all this car needs is the ttop option on that car... I mean 87_88 notch ttop roof cars aren't cheap or up for sale for that matter.... If you ever take a notch roof on a hatch or vert with ttop option.....well? we'll be watching non stop.... This guys channel foxbody rehab is near you in Texas....Houston has a ttop swap for $700 ...its still on the car...ill try and find the link to it ...not pushing the idea ..I'm just resourceful man.
@@TheInfamousProject looking at all of your videos recently made me appreciate even more how my 1992 being completely untouched makes it worth way more not to mention its so reliable AC heater every absolutely works😊 thanks for all of the knowledge 👋🏼👍🏻
Nice cars, you have quite a few. Have you ever had a problem with ignition switch killing motor after it cranks to life but the moment you let go of the key? If I edge the key back a hair after cranking it wil stay running.
@@TheInfamousProject I’ve been searching forums for a clue what else it could be but haven’t found much in them. Could you please tell me what it was for you.
@@TheInfamousProject yes the wire harness is tight and the guy I got it from put a new solenoid In a new solenoid. What I know of the 84 gt is Jim bought it in 85 and put in dry storage barn in 99. Some time this year sold it to a guy named devin who did the solenoid trying to get it running. So far no wires seem to be chewed up but I kno they were in the glove box and steering column. It’s actually in really great shape dash pad is minty, still has door jam stickers and factory yellow painted codes. It’s my first mustang since my 65 fastback got stolen Almost 20 yrs ago
I've had coupes convertibles and lx hatches as well as gts but the gt has always been my favorite looking for another at the moment. Currently I have a built 1980 ford fairmont wagon
As a owner of a clean 89 gt black on black that I’ve had for 18 years I approve this message 👍
I love my 91 LX Vert. But when I was growing up the GT was the car. It was the best looking car too. The GT convertible even more desirable. A GT convertible cost the most money to buy, the most expensive from the dealership. I love a notch too but the GT is still the best looking to me.

I have an 87 GT I wish I had power windows and locks lol it didn’t even come with AC from the factory it was barebones
Rare one!
A GT was cool back in the day but I always remember everyone wanted a lx because it was faster …… I guess it depended on the crowd u hung out with

The movie twins
86 red convertible 5.0 MIssy drove in Bill and Ted’s excellent Adventure. Love that car and I ended up buying an 85 gt hatch in 1990.
I never liked verts or GTs growing up. I had lx hatches n one notch but never into the GTS. The saleens and notchbacks were my favorite.

I feel the same way that you do with the sn95 cobras and specialty models. They are really beautiful cars especially when modded right looks wise.
I really wish you would have waited about 3 more weeks to post this video. Garage is almost done lol
Enjoyed the video...can't wait to see where the ole Foxes head from here.
I bought a 90 gt hatchback and two weeks later I see this video lol.
Everyone has there own opinions. For me personally I think with a muscle/pony car the cool factor is buying a stripped down no power options v8 under the hood and a stick shift. There light and built for one thing. Back in the day if you bought a GT or cobra you had the cash. But the street racers and guys who actually drove the cars bought an LX.
I mean I get what you're saying the lx is the more performance oriented option ecspecially the notch but they are hard to find and pretty expensive now and the performance isn't that much different between them. Weight matters but there isn't THAT much weight difference between them. I prefer the lighter model too if picking but like I said there isn't a huge weight difference between them. Just like the 94 up cars they are heavier but not THAT much heavier and still way lighter than today's cars and the 94 up cars are built better inside and out and come better equipped with 4 wheel discs, 5 lug, stiffer chassis and alot more room for wide tires etc etc and can be had much cheaper right now compared to fox bodies. The 96 up mod motor cars are more ideal for coyote swaps also since you can reuse alot of the oem components that have to be swapped when swapping a fox. The sn cars are the ones to get bang for the buck wise and they can really look badass with the right mods.
While I’m not going to disagree with you about the Gt’s. I bought my first Mustang new in 1993. I had the choice of a Gt or a Lx 5.0. Since I had been hanging with the street racing crowd it was known that the Lx’s were a bit lighter. So, I went with the Lx 5.0. I always liked the way the tailpipes were exposed. Either way, enjoyed the video.
I think a cobra rear wing and bumper along with lx tailights really make the gt look alot better and cleaner and more modernized imo.
Always thought the 94 GTS would eventually become collectible....
Opps....meant 1995 GTS...but you already knew that..pretty low numbers manufactured. It was very definitely a nice throw back to early 5.0LX days.
I bought my 87 GT back in 2015 just before the prices started to go up and the reason I got the one I did was because almost all of them were completely clapped out, one had a barrel latch from a gate keeping the passenger door closed and they wanted (if I remember correctly) $2500 for it now because it had a bunch of aftermarket go fast parts on it, my 87 was completely stock AOD with manual windows and mirrors BUT power locks, cruse control, and rear window defroster in Scarlet Red and red/black interior and I picked it up for $2300 now a parts car is going for that much! I agree the GT's will start to become the hot one to have since I'm old enough to remember that the GT was the one everyone wanted back when these cars were new but they were expensive! then 10 years later as they became just old used cars many High Schoolers bought them and subsequently beat them to death! my guess is that most 5.0 Mustangs have been though High School at least once and probable more than that! Also Bill and Teds excellent Adventure had a vert in it.
Glad to hear you secured your investment early!
I can’t even sell my gt vert for 7k and it’s pretty clean
Man I've been saying this for a couple yrs now, ppl look at me like I got 3 heads when I say it but I firmly believe the 87-93 GT cars are the next ones to invest in. I was always a 85/6 GT and LX hatch guy but I have a whole new appreciation for post 86 GT cars, I love them now, only took 34yrs,lol.
Ha that's awesome! Thanks for your feedback
Bro really like your convertible asc mclaren the all black one can i ask how much have you invested in it? and where would be a place to buy one like that as im looking to build some very similar to yours as its so cool.
Lol it's not an ASC... I've had that car for years!
amen brother bought mine in 90 will never sell it
Been watching you off and on for a few years. I think I found your page before any of the other fox pages. I'm in Oklahoma so it would be cool to run into you at a show next year!
For sure man! I'm around as much as I can be. Thanks for following
Vanilla Ice, Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze! I wanted a GT when I bought my LX but the ones I looked at were clapped out and too much money. The LX I bought needed work and still needs work but it's getting there, it was tight with no rust at all for $3300 so I bought it, in it about $7000 right now
The GT's fastback and wing with rear skirts just looks...bad ass even the cheese graters are awesome but a PITA to deal with. 50-70 grand for 93 Cobras priced me right out of wanting one, they're too easy to clone and has me somewhat looking at 94-95's
The sn cars are the way to go right now they are better put together inside and out and are better equipped stock with 4 wheel discs on all models, 5 lug, alot more room for wide fires and a stiffer chassis from the factory etc etc and they really aren't THAT much heavier ecspecially compared to fox cobras and gts there is very little weight difference between them. The sn cars can be had ALOT cheaper than the fox at least right now and they can look so good when modded right to me it's a no brainer. I have owned multiple cars from both platforms so I'm familiar with both.
@@midnight347 Finding a low mileage one is as Difficult as a Foxbody. Plenty of clapped out 200,000 kilometer ones out there (Canada).
Bout time the Scoops and Graters made a comeback!! GT Gang for Life!
Thought you were going to say Capris .
Lol.
That's the next 💎 not the GT for sure
87 - 88 GTs are hard to find.
Ditto to it all. Great video sir!
Man, you are bustin' my bubble with the two 93 LX hatches I have.... but I get it. I was planning on either adding the DECH or Saleen kit (as a tasteful clone) to one of them. Still looking to grab that Miller Lite in G-Town!
I'm a huge fan of the LX Hatch, it's what I own as well. Haters gonna hate but I love the clean look.
Whenever you're ready
@@foxgarage8505 the lx is the more sought after one they usually sell higher but what he's saying in this video is the gt will continue to rise more over the years and may actually equal it or overtake it in the future. Nobody is bashing an lx or at least anyone who knows what they're talking about aren't bashing them. We all know they are the most sought after ecspecially the notch that is why they go for what they go for
Just here waiting for the come up on my '86 bird and '88 cougar so they can match my fox 😂
What do you do for a living? Damn all those foxes 😳
I work on Foxes and make the occasional video
Any interest in a 83 capri? 5.0 5 spd blue on Blue/white interior...no rust.
In the shop Are those fans on the duct work that air flows out of the blades ?
Yes and they will spin when the HVAC is on.
the ole kleenex box.
100% right
I agree 👍 💯
Nice publicity stunt....lets say that when this becomes true and your infinite wisdom in the fox market takes off ...you will have first dibs to all the notchback cars that are not getting bought then ......I ave a question ...
when are you gonna own a ttop notch car or. Make a ttop conversion how to? ...just saying Mr TIP.
Thx for tye content.
LMAO I guess that's one way to look at it. T-Top content is coming next year
You can never have too many of a good thing....notchback cars are getting old like wine not milk....
Gt hatchbacks look hella good....Mr brew2L has a 2 tone paint gt ...vermilion red upper ...titanium silver lower...bad ads cart in its own right... NorthEastOhioMustang has a black hatch....killer set up...but it'isnt a NOTCH....the only way a hatch will look as good or be on the same level as a notch is to get a notch roof slapped on the hatchback body....that was my thought when you crushed that silver notch donor car with all the rusted bottom but good roof top....man I was cussing you the f_out but it is what it should not have happened to that notch roof....
Thx for the content and thank you for inspiring us or at least some of you followers with your content.
On the real.
I have seen a 1988 convertible with a notch roof welded on here in the bay area....Oakland area to be exact....looked really good ..he kept the convertible doors on it and I said to myself ...well all this car needs is the ttop option on that car...
I mean 87_88 notch ttop roof cars aren't cheap or up for sale for that matter....
If you ever take a notch roof on a hatch or vert with ttop option.....well? we'll be watching non stop....
This guys channel foxbody rehab is near you in Texas....Houston has a ttop swap for $700 ...its still on the car...ill try and find the link to it ...not pushing the idea ..I'm just resourceful man.
Im with you on the fox gt cars.. i also think the new edge cars are gonna do really well
I own A 1988 Nochback and a 1992 GT and I Love Both 😁
Nice!
@@TheInfamousProject looking at all of your videos recently made me appreciate even more how my 1992 being completely untouched makes it worth way more not to mention its so reliable AC heater every absolutely works😊 thanks for all of the knowledge 👋🏼👍🏻
I just bought a 89 LX hatch 😥
Me too you can’t go wrong with a fox no matter lx or gt
Nice cars, you have quite a few. Have you ever had a problem with ignition switch killing motor after it cranks to life but the moment you let go of the key? If I edge the key back a hair after cranking it wil stay running.
Yessir I have!
@@TheInfamousProject I’ve been searching forums for a clue what else it could be but haven’t found much in them. Could you please tell me what it was for you.
@@TheInfamousProject I’ve already tried a new key cylinder.
@@juantabby4787 how's the connector for the wiring that plugs into the harness? If it's tight with no loose wires then I'd say change your solenoid
@@TheInfamousProject yes the wire harness is tight and the guy I got it from put a new solenoid In a new solenoid. What I know of the 84 gt is Jim bought it in 85 and put in dry storage barn in 99. Some time this year sold it to a guy named devin who did the solenoid trying to get it running. So far no wires seem to be chewed up but I kno they were in the glove box and steering column. It’s actually in really great shape dash pad is minty, still has door jam stickers and factory yellow painted codes. It’s my first mustang since my 65 fastback got stolen Almost 20 yrs ago
What kind of wheels are on the red and black convertible foxbodys you have?
I believe those are old school 17" Borbets.
Thanks as always for the valuable information!
My pleasure!
In your opinion, in terms of convertibles do you think the aero or the four eyed cars are the ones to look for? Curious as I have an 86 GT
Personally I think the whole 4 eye thing will be overtaken by aero cars.
Spot on my man! ✌🏼
Appreciate it
Never like the aero gt cars,lx's looks better.....the 4 eye gt's look good...
Ya 4 eye lovers don't like Aero
The 79-81 cobras...😢
Never liked the notch back
