the beauty and fun of the late 80’s and early 90’s, in some fun pony cars, and working at Circuit City. lol

The cars were simpler and the times were simpler. 🙌🏼

I just hopped out of my 90 gt literally and got 3 comments on my commute to Walmart

I used to own Fox body Mustangs back when they were new. They were great little cars. Loved my 93 vert the most. Owned 3 and all served me well.

Nothing better than a mid eighty to mid ninties Fox body Mustang. Good job. Prices going up by the day.

those side mirrors are fine. can you imagine how ridiculous it would look with bigger side mirror's?

Love these fox bodies! Just posted a video of an ‘89 white GT convertible with under 30, 000 original miles. Beautiful car! Thanks for posting. Am now a new subscriber!

None of these are a problem for me and I have owned on since I was 15 years old.

Net horsepower measured at the output of the transmission is what Ford advertised. 225 for the manual and 220 for the automatic. The horsepower at the crank was closer to 250.
245-247 is common on a good condition motor. Theses are still fast cars but where they used to rule the streets, they're not anymore. These cars dominated scca racing.
I bought my 89 auto gt in 99 with 60k miles on it. My brother who was a mechanic serviced it, bumping the timing up and put a cat back system on it. We timed 0-60 at 5.9 he said if you can get it to hook up better you could probably do 5.8.
I still have the car. It looks like garbage and has some blow by but it still runs and drives.

I dont mind the mirrors at all. I don’t even have a rear view mirror on mine anymore. That said I grew up on motorcycles so maybe I’m just used to 2 small mirrors being all you got.

1988 LX 5.0. Daily driven. Just hit 300k miles. From my perspective, its the newer cars that have the 'quirks' 😉

[heroknaderi]

I love these cars definitely a decent car to get around town

[maybelooking]

I have my 90 7up vert with 35k miles on it. I love it.

They’re great because they’re simple, lightweight and analogue. Probably the largest aftermarket of any other car, even now. It’s a perfect blank canvas to build into just about anything you want. Track car/canyon carver to a stupid fast drag car.

OK so the criticism of the small side mirrors misses the fact that the visibility around the car from the drivers seat I would argue is better than most modern cars. You don't need large side mirrors when there is plenty of glass to see out of and thin A, B, and C Pillars. 🤓

I drove my 92 today, puts a smile on my face every time!

I've owned my 82 Capr RS 5.0 since new, with 370k+ daily driven miles! Upgrades... T-5 and 8.8 with 3:55. The engine has remained unmolested and never been opened. I have only changed the timing chain since replacing the front seal. No quirks have been noted!

I have a 1990 lx HO 5.0 with a T-5 5speed

If u have a T-5 5speed and ur 302 is still healthy, a foxbody mustang can still keep up down low stop light to stop light with a lot of cars that have double the HP. Now u will lose on the top end if u are still stock

Foxbody still has an advantage over the new cars, and that's a weight advantage

Foxbody's for life

That is a really clean 80's GT. it's hard to believe it's about 36 years old already. I've owned two, 90' and 93' that were purchased new at about 16, 000 each. They were fun cars that were comfortable and fast at that time. My only dislike was the manual trans as they both had issues, but they sounded great with Flow Masters.. I'm also not a fan of the revised front end and thought earlier versions were a bit better looking. Enjoy your pristine GT

Bump the timing headers off road hpipe and 373 gears that car would be fun

No cup holder, lol stick it between the ebrake and passenger bolster. Manual way more of a problem too.
