"The SN95 is the 'Hey watch this' of cars." Damn.

One wheel spins, like grandpa in a wheelchair after his stroke.

This generation of Mustang was the only generation of Mustang that spawned a police version with it's famous tagline, "This Ford chases Porsches for a living".

the only mustang that also looks like an economy car and sometimes is. but still somehow it’s really cool

That burnout sounded weird as fuck

The foxbody is the american ae86

The Fox body Mustang, the official car of: -Yes I've been arrested with cocaine on me -Tribal Armband tatoos -A guy who's girlfriends thong is always showing

I watch this video over and over just to hear you say, "four-banger stanger."

Every time I watch this video I’m like “Hell yeah I want a fox body!” Then I go look at my bank account and I’m like “Awh well guess that 01 Camrys gonna have to last a little longer.”

4:50 - That shot, with the grey overcast sky, the billboards, with the pearl white 'Stang and those beaming rectangular headlight... That is the most awesome RCR shot to this date. (07/13/2021)

"i have a kid but I still party" -ends video with a cover of Avril Lavigne. Yep...totally explains why my father had one, fits the stereotype perfectly XD

Windsor 302 was still in production use until 2001, in the Ford AWD Explorer.

What people don't realise is that the whole idea of these older and maybe more simplistic cars is to modify them and build them up into your own personalised vehicle which suits your needs. The fox body, along with some other common rear wheel drive vehicles of the same era, are fantastic platforms which can be built up almost like lego. Superior components from other cars can be utilised along with a myriad of aftermarket parts. The design of the fox body (and other 80's boxy cars) is strange because while not following the usual misconception of what makes a car "pretty", it almost stands alone, presenting its own unique definition of what makes a good looking car.

Mr. R with the legit gaming history knowledge. impressive.

The 500hp limit only applies to the thin wall casting high output roller blocks. The old flat tappet blocks have thicker walls and are heavier as a result. There's a rumor that the roller blocks made in Mexico are thicker than the american ones. By the way, the 351 windsor is a hell of a lot stronger and pretty much a bolt in swap.

WHERE DA STANG WHERE DA STANG WHERE DA STANG AT?! IACOCCA IN THE CUT, WHERE THE WOOD AT?! OH, THE MOTOR'S ACTIN UP?! WHERE THE WOLVES AT?!

A scene in British comedy "Only Fools And Horses", and the character Trigger is a road sweeper and starts talking about his brush that he's had for 20/30 years. "This old broom has 17 new heads, and 14 new handles in it's time". Someone then asks him how can it still be the same brush, and he replies "Here's a photo of it, what else do you need?"

"X Gon' Give It To Ya" is vastly superior to "Where the hood at" as a hype song.

WHY DOES THE BURNOUT SOUND LIKE THAT

Talks about accepting ugly just as the Mustang passes an Aztek. Love it!

I love my 1986 Mustang GT. I have owned her since new. These are great cars to work on. Start by beefing up the brakes and the chassis. Stay far away from T-Tops, sunroof's and convertibles. The chassis is a wet noodle w/o those.

I've had a total of 7 different Fox bodies in my life and now I miss them all more than I thought. Thanks for the reminder.

First, the Windsor 5.0 was in the 94 and 95 SN95 Mustangs. They also continued production in explorers etc until 2003 I think. IMO, a lot of the comments about the looks of the Fox Mustangs are a little off base, it was certainly not ugly by the standards of its release in 1979, or at least it's sales numbers would argue the point. It was the stoplight drag race king for pretty much all of the 80's and into the 90's, which was both fun for it's owners but also garnered a seething, quiet butthurt jealousy in the 90's kids, combined with the state of market in late 90's meant "Honda Civic VTEK" and the rest of the ricer scene mostly because the Fox cars held their value through the 90's and the kids couldn't afford one. At least that's what happened around my part of the woods. As to the Mercury Capri: it didn't sell because it cost more and was the same car, essentially. However, if you find one with the factory hood scoop and front ground effects including, and especially, the more traditional grill, it is the closest thing to an early 70's muscle car you will find, appearence wise, in an 80's Ford. I had the pleasure of owning one some time ago in which I had swapped a slightly built 351W(it fit because the factory scoop allowed for hood clearance). Poor, poor 85mph speedo. Ford guys were so pissed, for YEARS that they couldn't get a 351 in those cars from the factory. I can say, after owning one, I can understand why Ford did not want to unleash that onto the public. That said, these cars have the following they do because of the ability to customize them like no other vehicle on the road, before, or I would say even after, through simple bolt on parts(for the most part). In it's stock form it was a fun car, beyond that the sky was the limit compared to pretty much anything else at the time, even engine swaps were on the table and not overly complicated. Local guy even dropped a 460 big block in a notchback when i was in highschool. Got kicked out of the strip for safety violations when he did under 9 seconds lol. Like them or not, these cars were the benchmark of the street for almost 2 decades.

Engineering is all about trade offs. To your last point, "When it all comes together, we don't care" is spot on. Despite the compromises such as the solid rear axle, these things are a riot to drive. So IMHO they are well done, splendid machines. Oh, by the way, the 5.0 will go interstellar distances if properly maintained. I've owned 4 of the things.

Potential, is wasted energy. -Mr. Regular.

It's time for a big 5 O' to pound all 8 cylinders into my DRIVETRAIN

DMX in a foxbody review. Perfect.

My dad had about 4 or 5 of these and he has a 91 gt now and in 3 years this car will be mine. this gt he has now is an automatic but when we is driving you will see him try to switch gears because he has all of his other foxes manual but i keep reminding him.

OK, Let's see here... Henry David Thoreau The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Walt Whitman Street Fighter II Muscleheads with rapidly deteriorating lives. Goldeneye Jennifer Grey Unreal Tournament Plutarch's Writings The Grand Tour annnnnd... Penn Jillette All used to describe a Fox Body Mustang... the most vaporwave of Mustangs. Yep, this is why RCR is the best channel on KZfaq.

Fantastic Morrowind reference. Oh, video was good too.

Your videos are always delightfully informative. Thank you for all you do.

Your videos are insanely informative from a car-history standpoint. Please keep making them.

HE FINALLY REVIEWED A FUCKING FOXBODY, OH YEEEEEEEEAH

It's not a corolla, its an ae86. It's not a 1989 325i its an e30. It's not a mustang, it's a foxbody.

I've been watching you for years, years, and this is by far the best video you have ever put forth. It was more philosophically thought provoking than usual, less humorous than usual(but when those jokes came, ho-boy!), and as usual, incredibly informative. I've often asked myself the same question you posed to Farah regarding my own Scirocco. You're welcome to drive it whenever you like, so long as you continue with the quality material and Pennsylvania jokes that most people don't get.

I had an '88 4-banger 'Stanger. Still my favorite version of the Ford Escort to this day. Nothing like a reverse sleeper to make you look good sitting still.

My dad has an 87 GT convertible, my brother has an 89 LX 4 banger with a built 2.3L Turbo swap, an 86 N/A with about 500hp, and a rusted 83 notchback with T-Tops roller, and I had an 87 Turbo coupe. These cars are a big part of our family.

I love my Fox body, it's probably not the best first car, there's probably an argument for it being the worst but it's such a fun car and even though mine looks like it should be in a junkyard I still get reactions of "I had one in high school, I love those cars" hell my mom had a 4 banger in my very early childhood and she loves mine because she always wanted a 5-speed 5.0 but by the time the price had gone down she had 2 kids and not enough reason for one, Fox body's will always hold and special place on my heart, whether it's because it's my first car or because of the actual car, only time will tell.

I personally like the nothchbacks way better they have more of a complete look to them with the full trunks... People say the 80s-early 90s mustangs look ugly but if done right they can look nice

Thank you Mr. Regular. This is going to be my first project car and I'm going to love every part of it.

This is an instant classic for RCR. Well done, guys. Well done.

"It's probably the least Mustang looking Mustang that ever Mustanged."

Miss my 93 Cobra. I loved that car

The Fox body mustang is a sleeper to anyone who doesn't know anything about cars

*goes through subscriptions on the toilet, sees regular car reviews, clicks, sees fox body, poop flies out*

The green one had a working ashtray door! WOOOOO

This is one of the best over all reviews of a Foxbody. Hats off to you. I only wish you had a well maintained fox for this. Because both them Foxbodies are pretty much beat to death. And how do you not mention a cobra or a Saleen? I remember in high school you could not stop at any red light and NOT see two foxbodies side stepping the clutch and going at it.

4:56 Pontiac Aztec in the wild

please do a review of the Camaro IROC-Z

Lmao that DMX metaphor is accurate

I have owned allot of fun cars. Starting with my first one in 1983. A year and a half ago I bought my first Fox body mustang.An 88 GT 5 speed. It is one of, if not THE funnest car I have ever owned. I love it. Great video. Hit all the points.

this is super interesting iv always found the fox body really cool and different. always love your videos. merry Christmas as well from Australia mate 😘

why does the burnout sound like its sick or dying?

the burnout at the start sounded like a high pitched chewbacca lmao

I think what you said about "How much before you've built a new car and stops becoming that make and model", really applies to a lot of the vintage muscle car community, you've done an amazing job on your falcon and you've still kept the essence and personality of the car. Pick up any issue of super chevy or fast fords and usually you'll see a frame off 'resto-mod' coverage of somebody who has way too much money that's replaced everything and has a tasteless interior and just trying to win some face time before they croak. Classic car is honestly isn't the right term anymore. Great video!

"The SN95 is the 'hey man watch this' of cars" I'm done.

Just watched "where the hood at" lyric video.

4:30am and RCR posted my reward for cramming for my last english class.

The first Fox body was a Fairmont, and the Fox Mustang started in 79.

“4 banger Stanger” im gonna use that 😂

IS THIS MATT FARAH'S MILLION MILE WIDE BODY FOX BODY?!?

Fox body Mustang came out in 1979....the facelift was in 1987.....great cars!!!!!

I'm new to the channel and I love the subtle humor!

Excellent Review Mr. Regular! maybe my favorite, this

I love these video's can't get enough.

RCR with the 4am upload

"For the most part, he just stood around waving his buillshit like a native American quilt..." Perfect example of what makes Regular Car Reviews so great. Keep up the good work guys!

😭😭😭😭😭 bro got me crying after work n skool all day thanks man love the video for sure getting foxbody now

It looks a bit like an Escort.

i love how a review channel makes me laugh harder than "comedy" channels

My dad had a 1987 foxbody mustang gt,and he loved it to death,he said it was probably the fastest car he ever owned,he loved that thing to death and he regrets selling it every day because it was an amazing car,he always told me stories about his runs on the interstate and working on it at 4am and going to bed exhausted and covered in grease,it was those stories that made me love cars,it was his love for the foxbody that transcended him and moved to me,that's why I'll always respect and love foxbodies,because I owe it my life,because without cars,I don't know where I would be today

Great video as usual. I graduated high school in '91 and a whole bunch of us walked into the Ford dealership in late '89 and bought a fleet of 1990's. I think I paid $12,400 for my GT. Lots of fun times, but the car tried to kill me several times under- steering into turns or having the brakes boil over. The only cars that could beat me on the street was the GN and C4 Vette. GM Gen II & III F bodies were a piece of cake. But speaking of the C4, it's incredible to think they are in the same price range as the Fox Mustang.

isn't there a saleen fox body

In the Mustang world, the Foxbody is epic. Yet, you forgot the "real" SN95". The 94-98 Mustang. The replacement for the Fox. The 99-04 mustang is technically an SN95, but it is really the "New Edge". Please do a review on the 94-98 Mustangs before they disappear into forever.

This is probably the greatest review ever. Genius, pure genius lol

The first car I ever loved was my 84 Mustang GT. I saved up from my summer and part time job and bought it in 1990, my junior year of high school. I had the manual version. My step father and I did some nice upgrades to it and it was a serious beast on the local drag strip. Pretty horrible in the corners though. But it was always a blast. Miss that car.

wow that last few minutes were very deep...i need a cigarette now and i dont even smoke

Regular, interested in that video explaining the Mustang 2 failure/non-failure!

brilliant review! just subscribed. I'm sure someone already mentioned it but I'm going to say anyway. the windsor was used until 95 in the mustang and longer in the Explorer

Right after I was born, my dad bought (as his first new car) an '86 Mustang GT 5.0 that became the family car until my parents split in 1995. These were what a Mustang *was* for me for a long time. It would have been my first car, but mom sold it to buy her 2nd husband a CJ7 Renegade. She sold my birthright.

gdi it's 1 am and o have school tomorrow

Perfect DMX analogy at the end there

Glorious car. Wonderful video. Thumbs up. 👍

Great video on a cool pair of cars!

Great video as always

Did it "transcended" the mustang name or never earned it in the first place?

I consider this episode to be the Regular Cars magnum opus. It should be in the library of congress.

I grew up in Hueytown AL, and was a teenager in the 90's. So many Fox Body's and IROC's everywhere back then. Races every night!

I've waited so long for this

Still waiting for small dog review!

4:56 That Aztek though.

Love to see a square body chevy truck reviewed sometime!

The Ship of Theseus Paradox is something I've thought of a lot. I plan on replacing/upgrading all the stock suspension, complete rebuild and performance upgrade on the engine, aswell as all new transmission/rear end. Not much factory Mustang is going to be left in my car.

Fuck yeah longer videos!

I had an ‘83 Capri RS. Loved the differences between that and the Mustang - the bubble deck and brick front end. It also had Recaros as the stock front seats. One of many I wish I wasn’t so eager to get rid of.

Weird that I stumbled on this after watching Menace II Society today, main character gets a Fox Body from a chop shop and I had no idea it was a Mustang.

Mr. Regular please somehow get your hands on the Mustang SVO

Someone get this man a VW beetle to review!

I bought a brand new 85 GT which was one of the first with throttle body fuel injection for the 5.0 V8. It was a great reliable car totally stock it would trip the lights in the quarter mile at around 14.70's so for the time was okay fast. Long road trips were comfortable and the hatch with the fold down rear seats provided quite a lot of trunk space. Handling was good but you still had to add weight in the rear in snow and ice. I paid just over 10K in March of 85 and it was worth every penny.

This is your finest work yet.
