The Fox Body Mustang is the third generation of Ford's iconic muscle car, lasting from 1979 to 1993. They're referred to as the Fox Body Mustangs since they used the new Fox platform. As one of the longest-running generations, the Fox Body saw quite a few major changes over the years.
Many consider the Fox Body as a return to what worked for the first-generation Mustang. It was a step away from the failings of the Mustang II. The Fox Bodies were popular at the time, but they've grown in popularity even more over the past few years.
In this video, we go over the years of the Fox Body. Enjoy!

    I had a 1987 LX 5.0 manual. Wish I had it now. Loved it!
  • I'm a big fan of the Fox Body. I love how smooth, sleek, and muscular the late 80s and early 90s models look. That high output 302 put out amazing horsepower for its time. I love listening to the exhaust of a later years Fox Body 5.0 as the driver shifts gears. It's a fun car to take to the drag strip. I see so many tuned Fox Body Mustangs on drag racing videos. A nitrous Fox Body with a powerful small block is a car to really watch out for while drag racing. For the past 5 years or so, the Fox Body has been rising in value by considerable amounts and are starting to become more common in classic car auctions.

    The ‘87 model really nailed the Foxbody look! 🥰

    I remember when it came out in like 79 and it was futuristic like being given a symbol of the future and it looked soo cool. Then as the decade moved on the mustang had morphed and once again looked soo cool and perfect for the 90's

    The E7 heads combined with EFI changed the game back in the late 1980’s. The 225HP with 300ft lbs of low end torque with the 5pd. You could smoke the tires at will and the roughly 3,000 pound car let it compete and beat big block cars .
  • 3:41 This is my favorite fox body mustang. My uncle has a 79 pace car and I absolutely love it.

    I had a 86 LX 5.0 and drove it till 130,000 miles. The car had fueling problems and had the throttle body replaced at 80,0000 miles. In general a great car.

    I had a 1990 LX 5.0 hatchback. Paint quality aside, it was one of the best cars I ever owned!
  • @ZeusAmun-pt9dc
    My number one dream car and I can still remember how it felt in 79 when it debuted. It was like the future is upon us (because we the people literally saw the 80's as the beginning of the new era) and so they decided to bring the car of the future out a little early. At the time it was almost mind blowing to see them.

    your voice is announcer quality. this video is packed with so many foxbody facts. i have just officially subscribed.
  • I had two and had some of the best fun in both, one hardtop and one convertible. Loved those stangs.
  • @mat13174
    I’ve been lucky enough to have owned four of these in my time. 79, 2 86s and a 93. Some of my best times were tied to these cars.
  • @garygreen7552
    I believe that the Fox platform was also used for the Fairline models of the same era. I also notice that many of the Fox Mustangs do not use the mustang image on the front of the car.

    Bought a '82 GT in 1985, had it for 17yrs and never let me down, I sure do miss her ;-)
  • @TheDogs789
    My Dad had an 89 and loved it he just moved and retired and gave it to my brother we all love it
  • I had a 1979 cobra. Bought it in early October 1978. It had the 2.3 turbo 4 cylinder engine. I had it for ten years till I got the new car itch. Probably the best fun car I’ve ever owned. Miss it
