You Gotta Love This!
That is a sweet Fox Mustang! Worth every penny the guy paid for it,
IMO. It has an MM suspension and the Cobra IRS rear end. i ssume it has the Cobra T-56 too. Very nice. The icing on the cake it that it's a coupe too. wrote: > http://www.mustangblog.com/index.php...nd-suspension/ > > Patrick > |

Here in Tucson, lots of Fox bodies are showing up at the drags. Full chassis cars, with all the good stuff. Wonder if the NHRA "aged" them out of their class? (Like they did the small trucks. That was a shame.) Al |

I guess I'm just getting old, as are the Fox cars. |

Because it's a notchback. I never see them on the street. I mean, I know it's been said the the Foxes are getting a bit more rare every day, but I never saw a good number of notchbacks from day one. I really wanted one, too, back in '93. Couldn't find one on any dealer lot at the time (this was August-September, and very few leftover '93s were available, period). But now, when I look back at the notch, it just seems alien to me. Like something's missing... A hatch, perhaps. dwight www.tfrog.com |

It was definitely more solid than the hatchback. Overall, I really liked it. It also weighed less. In some ways I wish I had kept it and sold the hatchback. I think the coupes just looked like a car that had no right to have an ass kicking V-8 in them. They also remind me of the Mustang II. |

Clean 5.0s are impossible to find. I just sold one and yes, I do regret it.
But what the hay... This is an interesting car, but I wouldn't want it... the charm of the 5.0 is the quirks, the rough around the edges, or as I remember one magazine saying in 1987, "a car for someone who believes sophistication is for sissies..."

I've always said the Fox Mustangs were the last muscle car in the spirit of the 1960s cars. Not real refined but a lot of fun to drive. |
