Love the video man! Very informative. Makes me proud to be a foxbody owner!

I had a mercury Capri rs 5.0 H.O. & I'll tell you what, I freakin loved that thing!!!! I had the most fun of my entire life in that car!! The foxbody platform was legendary.

My first car was a 85' GT convertible. I've owned a 92 LX 5.0 hatch, an 86' SVO and 2 T-Bird turbocoupes. This will probably always be my favorite platform.

Power loss between ‘88 and ‘89 was not due to the fueling change to MAF, but rather a change to a less aggressive cam.

Didn't want this video to end ! I could talk fox all day

Brought my 5.0 Notchback in '92 still have that BEAST til this day...use to kill Iroc-Z's and a long list of other victims...truth be told I wasn't stock GT40 everything and the biggest secret was a little Powerdyne 9lbs of boost under the hood very quiet never popped my hood Kats use to wonder why was my Notchback so fast those was the days straight smoked everything in the 90's

Quite possibly the greatest vehicle ever made is what a fox body is

Best platform Ford ever produced

‘79 Pace Car, best looking of them all !!!

The late 80s and 1990 were the best years of the Foxbody. I'm a big fan of the refreshed design and the high horsepower for the time. Those 5.0's are fun cars and have a beautiful exhaust note. Fox platform vehicles are very easy to modify. Foxbody Mustangs have been rising in price value for a few years now and are becoming a very popular classic car.

I got a 84. Love the 4 eye. Love the sound of my built 302 with magnaflow exhaughst

Thanks for the video. Brings back fond memories of ‘89 LX 5.0 notchback I had 30 years ago.

It’s weird...I bought a new Fox Mustang 5.0 in 1993 before this guy was born.

I have owned two Fox Mustangs. Loved them both.

My friends mom had that summertime foxbody with the chrome 5 star pony wheels and flowmaster exhaust. Had a lot fun in that car in highschool.

Just seeing those 10-holer wheels behind you makes me happy.

Foxbodys for life...

I have an 86 notch with a 351 and a 93 hatch saleen clone man I'll never sell neither

Didn't really do the 5.0LX at all in this video. I bought brand new an 1986 Mustang LX with the GT options and nothing else. Blue fastback, had so much fun! The insurance lady on the phone asked me if it was a turbo, I said noooo, just an old fashioned v8, and got the low rates on it. I practiced my launches on my lunch break behind the warehouse I worked at. Quick car!

I bought a brand new red ‘85 GT. I was envied by all the young, and not so young guys at work. That car was a blast to drive and rated at a whopping 210 HP. Absolutely amazing how far internal combustion technology has come. Oh, by the way, I paid $10,500 for that brand new car. 😳

Nice video! Love foxbodies, have an 82 GT T-Top car and an 86 GT!

I miss my ‘86 Convertible but I do love my ‘03 Centennial Edition!!!!

Good video. On a much more important note: There was a vendor from LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA(!!!!) at the Carlisle Ford Nats this weekend, LOS ANGELES!!!! You boys need to start packing a danged truck and bringing yourselves out for that show!!!!

Great video! I remember when they changed to the euro headlights for 87, everyone liked it. But now that those headlights look like every other car today, we're liking the retro 4 sealed beam look again.

I had a 1984 GT turbo. Very rare and not to be confused with the SVO.

Still have my 88 LX...first Mustang I've owned, but not the first I've driven, that goes to a 64 model.

Great video! Landan does an awesome job moderating and explaining.

Quite informative, although a bit overwhelming in one sitting. I find interesting that the body styles didn't change much, if at all. I have a low-key interest in owning a Fox Body Mustang, but I have a question: Is it possible to mix and match front and rear body ends with little to no modifications? Make a Fox Body Mustang with styling of your choice? It's something that have piqued my curiosity. Thanks for an informative video on these iconic Mustangs.

Everyone under the age of 45 who owns a mustang should have to watch this video.

Great review of the fox platform .

Best platform for Ford . I owned a 90 gt convertible, 84 svo , pace car .

A SN95 is technically a fox body too. Its the same chassis.

In 1993 my dad took me to a dealer and I fell in love with an 87 gt. But dad said nope no v8. So I got an svo 😉

I know what a fox body(92 fox) is daily drive one, but came here to show love to the channel 👍

You forgot the best summertime edition! The red with white wheels, top, and interior!

The running horse emblem on the pass side dash first appeared in mid-year '89 (not '90) with "25 Years" on it and continued through mid-year '90, after that they are blank. Still have my '89 GT (and the dash out of my '89 LX) both have the "25 Years" emblem.

I love my 1993 fox body lx convertible, shes my baby.

I love the foxbody that is why I have all three types 87gt 92 lx and the king of the fox SVT VIBRANT RED 93 COBRA.

Ive had 3 of these cars, a 87 a 89 and a 91 GT, still have the 89 and the 91,the 91 is my semi daily soon to be retired,its been my semi daily for 20 something years, incredibly reliable cars, its funny how things change, when i was younger in the 80s and 90s no one called these cars "Foxbodies) if you had, people would look at you funny like "Whatchu talking about Willis??", they were always "Five os" or a 5 liter, kinda like with the advent of the Honda movement and THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and how it went from "Nitrous" to "NOS" , you woulda walked into a speed shop in the 80s and 90s wanting to fill your bottle and say "hey can i have some NOS?" the guys working there for sure would have been talking about you long after you were gone. A few years ago i bought me a 95 T bird which i still have and that car really made me appreciate the ole 302,man those are some good engines,reliable to a fault, 4.6s are good too but they have too many things wrong for my liking,Ive never had the intake on my Mustang blow up on me,my rear cylinders get the water they need and we dont have 2 different 302s plus ive never been driving my Mustang and heard this loud bang only to raise the hood and find out one of my plugs was gone ha ha ha. We are super lucky to have late model restoration on the 79 to 93 Mustang side, i remember in 99-00s when i had "the fever" full blown, buying things from them when they were a little bitty company,they have grown leaps and bounds and i couldn't be happier,just yesterday i ordered some parts for my 91 from them, i know they will get here lighting fast and i know i can always rely on them for anything, LMR is a SOLID company. The legacy of the 5 liter Mustang will be good looks and affordable fun for the masses on a platform thats easy to work on and very reliable, i couldn't see myself driving anything else, i am a little weird in the respect that i never dogged my Mustangs like most people did but i guess thats why i still have mine and the people i knew that had theirs are on their 13th car mainly some Camry or minivan while what used to be a Mustang they owned is languishing somewhere in a pull a part or has been turned into a bumper, i dont care much for going fast, i just enjoy my Mustangs.

Great video!

Great video! 👏

You acknowledged the Granada, thank you.

@ 5:15...Very cool of you to include T-top coupes in this history. I have one of those "very few" cars in the garage! :-)

Since Ford is preparing to release the High Performance four cylinder pony I hope they do a commemorative package for the SVO.

Can we get a Sn95 video to finish off the fox platform

First fox body was 78 .

I'd heard the phrase used before but never knew what was meant by "Fox Body" Mustang until a few days ago...I really dig this style.

FYI, Cobra was not a trim level until 1993. in the early days of the foxbody; the Cobra was a package upgrade that was only offered on hatchbacks.

Simplicity and beauty in the same car !

The square-ish 80-82 T-Bird was a Fox Body. I owned two 79 Mustang Indy Pace Car 5.0 4 speed and 5.0 automatic. I got parts off of a rolled 79 Pace Car that I think was a 500 Festival car,, last six of the VIN was 480054. It was a 5.0 automatic and there was a two digit sticker on the plastic side of the inside rear view mirror.

I found this post about Foxbodies in an old 2009 post in www.stang.com; Back in the mid-70's, about the time the Mustang II was introduced, Lee Iacocca got his engineers together and gave them an assignment to create a new (for Ford) concept in vehicle production. He wanted to move to "platform" design, where several cars could be built off of one basic pan. At the time Volkswagen was the leader in this concept with their Fox platform, on which they built the Fox, Golf (Rabbit), 100LS and Dasher among others, so the first Ford platform took the name Fox. On it, Ford built millions of Fairmonts, Granadas, Thunderbirds and our beloved Mustangs. I would highly recommend two books for anyone that is interested in Fox Mustangs: The Official Ford Mustang 5.0: Technical Reference & Performance Handbook : 1979 Through 1993 and Fox-Body Mustang Recognition Guide 1979-1993. Both are excellent sources of true and accurate information about our cars. This is why it's called Foxbody. I used to love forums where people actually had Read knowledge. Not fake KZfaq regurgitation.

These cars were all so cool

Man I love these videos. I was younger but always loved and wanted a blue/gray two tone GT or a 93 Cobra.

I owned an 83 Texas DPS police mustang for 27 years. Sat in my garage for over 10 years when I finally had to sell it due to my divorce. 27 years with the car and I had to sell it. I have alot of good memories with it. Miss it.

Is that Mike Clay's Cobra I spotted in the thumbnail and video? I do believe so. Very nice! Great video as usual, and I loved the cobra so much I converted my GT vert into a cobra body style.

1986 looks so good. Only thing I'd change is the pistons and the heads.

Omg!!! I remember all of these Mustang Models, including the European cousin, Capri, Which, in America, it was a more luxurious version of the regular Mustang. Mercury Capri. I remember these cars when they were brand new, and, I'm not that old!

I took a different path in 87' and got a "GrandNational" my senior yr. of school. So Glad I Did,"It would Smoke the GT,IROC's,GTA's an Vette's," Bone Stock!!!"wasn't much of a race"

Nice to see the history and changes made on the foxbody ...ps you forgot to mention the gt 350 i own a 84 convertible gt350

Mercury capri rs, want one so bad

Awesome video ! Wish I had one of the five I owned !

Craig Olson Just gonna throw this out there it's been awhile living in my Mustang life but time to get back at it.... Great videos.... I have a1983 mustang GLX Convertible... 5.0..5spd Manual.... White exterior black stripe up hood... With hood scoop...Interior all black....78,000 Original miles... Only thing not original are the rims.... Was told came factory with hubcaps. Years ago when I was researching I could not find one like this... Was told by the car dealer that the guy that owned it before me ordered it out... I'm thinking I might have 1 of 1.... Open for any comments... Craig R. Olson

Love it I have 1985 carb conv 5 speed love it

7:34 Aw man! There’s a ding on the edge of the trunk lid! Owie!

Interesting that a 2.3 litre 4 cly Ecoboost Mustang has more hp then the older 5.0 8 cly Mustangs

Fox body = best Mustang ! Probably because I grew up driving them !

Great info. Just wished you could have included the asc mclaren mustang

NEVER got to own one but l drove many of them 87 gt had much needed aero for high speed runs .AS FOR MY FAVS 79 pace car 85 SVO and 93 cobra :)

The 77 Ford Granada and Monarch shared a lot from the fox platform.

Good little video. I’ve owned tons of foxes over the years I love them. I have a 91 notchback now I’m coyote swapping.

I just picked up 82 gt t-top project great shape so excited . Great video gonna need lots parts from you lmr

This has always been my dream car, I've owned 2 of them and during the build process, the mechanics royally scammed me bad. 2 fox's and roughly 40k

Good job Landon, great informative video!! Keep up the good work LMR.

This was such a hoot.... this was back when we thought 225 horsepower was WAAAYYY HIGH!!!!! A kid back then sez… "Dude...watchout… I'm packing 200 hp!!!!!!" A kid from today sez…. "Uhhhh… I'll see your 200 and raise you another 250!!!!!!"

I believe 90-93 got slightly smaller wheel openings and 93 also got hypereutectic pistons

Thank you very much for this!!! #LMR 💪🏼

I had a 1983 GT fastback or three door hackback , 302 HO high output , HO heads with roller rockers , headers ,dual exhaust of course, 600 Holley crab , bored 30 over, 5-speed 411 rear end gear , positive traction slap bars with rubber pads that came up against the uni-body and locked the rear-end ,not the worsed not the best but so much fun to drive it was unreal!! This car was stolen out of my yard on a roll back truck while at work!! I miss it terrible! It's probably chopped up and parts scattered!! Who knows?? Only the lord 🙏!

I miss the 83 hatchback I had when I was stationed in AZ. Only had a 3.8l in it, but it could keep up with damn near anything. Except the RX7's the Butter Bars were driving. Drove it from AZ to OH on leave many times. Then some idiot hit me head on doing some expensive damage. Had the choice to fix or total it out. I really made the wrong decision.

A notch back is always been a favorite of mine, can see why the prices are so high.

it's a toyota corrolla they put a V8 in, am I right?

T birds and cougars are my favorite

Would love a fox body ,not to many in Australia.

Of all the successor mustangs I feel this generation was the one that most closely captured the spirit of the original. Similar body styles, multiple engines choices, etc. And they didn't need to design any stupid retro gimmicks to sell them either no fake brake cooling vents, no retro dash. It was its own design.

Super awsome vid guys sooo much info,,,🤯🤯😁😁😀😀

8.8 rear end came in MY1985, I seem to recall that the last half of MY1984 cars could have had 8.8 rear ends too. Also, the MAF system was introduced in California in 1988 and on every car in 1989. IIRC, the galloping horse logo was installed in 25th anniversary mustangs and later, so latter half of MY1989 got them, first half of MY1989 did not have horse. Lastly, it was 1991 I believe when Ford changed the geometry of the K-member, so in stock form the 1991 and later cars have more desirable front suspension geometry. Aftermarket K-members address this issue on earlier cars.

You missed one; in 1980 they made a sprint model with the 3.3L, 200 circuit. Inline 6, mine had a white body with blue stripes, great car, would give the same year 5.0 L V-8 a run for the money, torquey, fuel efficient runner !!

You missed the baby LTD's and the wagons

Cheers just what I was looking for! Subbed

A pretty good generalization. A little disappointed that the 82 year didn't have much focus though, being the reintroduction of the GT trim after so many years, and being the last year of the pace car front air dam.

Great stuff

I have a 79 fairmont I wish it was a 2 door

Awesome video, don’t forget the Air Force had mustang duty also chasing U2 aircraft down the runway.

I have a 1987 Lincoln Continental it was made on FOX platform I love it as parts are cheap and plentiful.

These things ran in 4 cylinder mini stock divisions all over the country on short tracks.

Subbed n liked! This channel rips

Imagine Mustang sales if Doc Brown used an black '85 GT instead of a Delorean. Funny enough the sound effect as the time machine first backs off the van is a 5.0 with Flowmasters. BUT the Porsche v8 5.0l. I think the 928 with the goofy lean back pop up headlights.

Very interesting video! I would love to see a video in similar format about the SN-95 mustangs.

Was hoping you'd touch on why in 85/86, Ford labeled GT' as Cobras in Canada but in the US the same cars were Labeled Mustang GT and not Cobra.

Great video, lots of info!
