The ever-popular original 5.0 Mustang (aka: Fox-body) If you grew up through the '80s or early '90s you experienced and lived it... and here’s a video of it, the Foxbody Mustang, or back in those days simply known as the 5.0 Mustang, 5-liter Mustang or 5.0… the term "Fox-body" which of course is the 1979-1993 Mustang's chassis/platform, actually didn't really take off and become the most known nickname of these cars until after the S197 models hit the streets. With a few generations behind it they started to be identified as the Foxbody more so than the 5.0 or 5-liter. These cars were absolutely the "best bang for the buck" pound for pound champs back in the '80s and early '90s and were just "straight line killers".
For around $10,000 you had a factory performance car that ran mid 14 second 1/4 miles off the showroom floor and with mild tweaking could hit 13 second times... soon tuners were porting heads, extrude honing intakes, gears and slicks and running easy 12 seconds... and the aftermarket exploded!!! Pro 5.0 racers quickly figured out how to run sub-10 second 1/4 miles, by the late '90s a turbo revolution started thanks to racers like Mark Harwell, Gene Deputy and these little turbocharged Foxes were hitting 8-sec and faster times down the 1/4 mile strip. These light little Ponycars became the modern day tri-five Chevy and '32 Ford, and if you lived it you know all about it...
I wanted to toss together a little 5.0 Mustang Foxbody tribute with some of my older footage that I shot back in the day, a tribute to the car and the past, present and future Foxbody Mustang freaks out there. Hope it takes ya back folks! Since I was a young kid I always wanted to build a Time Machine… well I finally did it with this channel #MuscleCarTimeMachine ❤️

After watching this, I'm even more proud to have my 91" GT that I never get tired of. Foxbodys are awesome I don't care what anyone says!

@nedaCFilms 8 лет назад

+DopeFragz Doesn't matter what anyone says or thinks anyway... it's what makes you happy and excited, and gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling inside lol. Five to ten years from now you will be damn happy that you kept the Fox-body because prices are shooting up right now. The window of cheap affordable Fox-Mustang models is closing.

@DRock6906 6 лет назад

Me too brother! I still have my '91 GT as well. It's in my garage, covered up, and has been off the street since 2005. I am, however, in the process of getting her ready for the summer :-) Seeing a 5.0 on the street where I live is like spotting Bigfoot so I'm excited to be bringing her back out!

I'm a Gen X'er and I approve of this message. My '89 notch is in the garage right now. If you weren't around in the late 80's early 90's its hard to explain the impact this car had. Good 'ol days. This video gave me chills.

@modularmahem12 3 года назад

As a high school kid in the late 80’s, and the fact my best friend in high school had a stripper ‘89 notch with a 5 psd and 3.08 Trak-Lok, there wasn’t a Chevy in town that was safe. That car hauled ass and took a beating. Never missed a beat. Very fond memories and many miles in that car. Long live the 5.0 HO and the Foxbody. Thanks Ford for many good times and thanks for a great video tribute. Great job.

I've owned one of these since I've been 20, I'm 34 and on my 3rd, a 87, a 89 25th anv. and now my 93 Cobra. I just don't feel alive without one in my driveway. Great video!

@doolindanger2459 8 лет назад

I had a 5.0 in high school (88-92). It was an 88 GT, 5.0, 5 spd. My only upgrade on the car was a heavy-duty racing clutch. Before GM introduced the new LT-1 in 93, the 5.0 was king of the street for that time. It would eat ANY stock GM of that era. I raced IROC Camaros, Firebird Formulas, Trans Ams, Vettes, 300 Z's you name it. (Obviously not faster than exotics but I'm talking about what another kid might actually have)... The car was REALLY bad ass from a "20 kick" (what they call roll racing now). 20mph, leave it in 1st (3000-3500 rpms) I'd give the GM's a FULL car length head start and tell them "I'll go when you go and if I can't pass you, we'll say you won"

@stevewill1940 10 лет назад

thank you very much for this trip down memory lane,im in my late 30's{37} and have been building fox bodies since the early 90's......these cars have not just been a hobby,theyve become a lifestyle for me--and all the great friends ive met over the years through the passion for these cars cannot be replaced,for any dollar amount--when im dead and buried I hope-sincerely hope there are younger people finding the passion for the mustang as we have p.s I still have my 93 I bought while in college--and now itll be running 7's hopefully on drag radials with the new twin turbo motor and 25.3 spec cage

@MrLive2win 10 лет назад

@ccchicken8889 3 года назад

The Fox Body has a real special legacy. Decades later people's ears perk up when they hear that classic sound. They know what it is before they see it, and they keep their eyes open for it. I've never seen a car demand that sort of attention.

@nedaCFilms 3 года назад

The only other models that recieved that type of attention were the '30s Ford and '50s Chevy.

@latemodelrestoration 10 лет назад

@nedaCFilms 9 лет назад

***** LatemodelRestoration.com I have a question for Jeff, Tyler or any other fellas at Latemodel-Resto, do you guys keep past catalogs in storage by chance? ...and if so, would you sell a few? I had a nice collection of catalogs through the years and made the mistake of loaning them out, lol (only to never see them again) I am especially interested in I think the 2002 catalog, I believe it was yellow and featured the old LMR '79 pace car on the cover.... anyway, thanks for being there for us Fox-body guys!

@nedaCFilms 8 лет назад

Oh how I miss those cool late summer and early fall nights..... hanging out, showing off our Fox-bodies, TPI 3rd Gens, brand spanking new LT1 4th Gens and SN95 models.... hell we even had a couple above average G-body SS runners in the mix. Picking a potentially good matchup then driving a safe 5-10 miles out of town to the middle of "nowhere" and we would "quickly hit 'em off" ....then slowly cruise back to town while the adrenaline settled and the battle stories of the race began, lol. Cops didn't mess with us, it was good clean motorhead fun the way we did it. A few years later this ridiculous movie came out, titled "the Fast and the Furious" (you might have heard about it, lol) and suddenly the car-world had gone mad, someone opened the Import Sport Compact Tuner gates, giant tail-piped muffler type thingys, obnoxious body kits with wire mess all over it, massive monster grabber rear wings, multiple air vents in fenders, neon light bulbs hanging off everything, and absolutely horrid paint schemes. "A new movement, or another fade.....like a cry for help in a world gone mad", lol..... and it brought us peppy 'lil Vtec Honda Civics, silly Accords, Nissan Sentras with "R" on the back of it, Toyota Celicas that they wished were Supras and their Mom's 4-door Maxima loaded down and packed full of Eminem looking snots stuffed in the backseats 4-wide, started back to back street racing through neighborhoods, school zones and parking lots with their 130hp screamers..... waking up the neighborhood, getting themselves and others hurt, and much worse, killing innocent people unfortunately caught in their crossfire........ that did it for us, cops weren't looking the other way anymore..... American Graffiti was over. Here's a video of the type of "Fast and the Furious" fruit loops that I'm talking about, lol, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_sOC9fB3hxM.html LMAO!!!!

@Chef4life79 9 лет назад

Can't get enough of that 5.0 sound, soothing in a way, I grew up in Winnipeg MB, a teenager in the ninety's and in my old area called the Maples there were quite a few of these five litres kicking around, they put a four way stop sign in front of my house and every night guys would launch hard from that four way, first and second gear chirp, I liked it, drove my mom nuts!

@genxmurse7019 5 лет назад

They were everywhere, and that was an understatement. By the time I started high school in 1985, I was getting a first-hand look when some fellow students were bringing them to our auto mechanics class. I even developed a dislike, because I was getting tired of watching street races with nothing but Mustangs. During that time, daily driven big block classics were already scarce, and they were rapidly declining. It wasn't until I got out of the military in 1993, I bought an 89' GT. Then I was hooked, because it was all mine.

@nedaCFilms 5 лет назад

I started HS in 1986 and bought my first 5.0 Mustang in 1993 as well, it was good times lol.

@MassEffectFTW Год назад

I was born in 1996. When I was just a lil' boy, like 4-5 years old when I first saw one, and these things were still the real street kings. Alotta people I know still think they're ugly, and more say they're 'dated'. True, they were a product of their time, and they may not have the best styling, but they had attitude. They had presence, an 'Aura' if you will, that many cars just don't have. I'm 26 as I write this, and I still hope to one day have a 5.0 Foxbody Mustang in my garage, at some point, in my life.

@TYPE-zd3gm 7 лет назад

What a great car! I had an '89 GT. Only once did that car let me down in a way that I could not fix it on the side of the road, (in tank fuel pump). Put 336,000 miles on it.

@HotMustang 7 лет назад

Thats a Lot of miles bro!

@zedhudson 8 лет назад

the video is a throw back, but what you wrote is so spot on. I graduated high school in '85, right at the hype of the 5 oh. I bought my '92LX Coupe in '96 with 3000miles on it, it had been a garage queen and was stock as a rock. Original tires. Took me a little over a year to find the one I wanted. Still have it. 56k miles, stock interior, original paint, stock ride height and pony's. R302 block (306), ported stock heads, victor intake, solid roller cam... the sound it makes up over 7000rpm is a delight. Small cubes, small port heads, screaming thru the flowmasters.

@nedaCFilms 8 лет назад

+zedhudson Yeah buddy, the 'ole 5.0 Fox-Mustang has a cult-like following... and for the guys that experienced it in the '80s and early '90s have those very special lifelong memories!!! Just a handful of iconic American models like the '32 Ford coupe, the tri-five '55, '56 and '57 Chevy... the '69 Camaro, '67 Mustang fastback and the "5.0 Fox-body Mustang!

Their was still tons of people with their fox body's hanging out , I was the youngest and the baby of the group of guys and girls that graduated late 80 early 90 , I was the last of a dying bread that I literally watched die off . I still have my lx and its my baby . When I bust out a original paint emerald green lx people go crazy . But I don't hot dog anymore . I'm more concerned about somebody else hitting me , it's my week end car if that , I'm not risking breaking anything . clean fox is a 🦄

The 2 cars both took off in furry and it made such a powerful sounds i could feel the rumble at my feet. They were 2 Black Notchbacks. Such bad ass, i still remember this night , im 31 years old today. And i own a Black 1992 Notch.

@monikhushalpuri 4 года назад

I got an idea for you bud, tell your kids how much you miss your mustang and how before you retire you want to find a another foxbody but can’t afford it, then the kids will get you a foxbody and they’ll post it on RU-vid to share your reaction with the world, you get a mustang for free, kids get to make a couple hundred bucks off your reaction from RU-vid...win win lol but in all seriousness brother just look around you’ll find a good one for cheap, I got mine in the boonies up here in Canada for cheap, sold it a few months back but getting another one next year

@JRC99 3 года назад

I always come back to this one. For the past couple of summers, my grandfather has let me daily drive his '89. It's not fast- the engine hasn't been touched- but it's punchy. The 3.55 gears give it a real fun holeshot and the exhaust is nice and quiet- until you floor it and then it's a crack of thunder (stock headers, stock H-Pipe, but muffler delete). I work at a Dodge dealer, so I've driven 500hp Challengers and Chargers. They may be faster, but they aren't nearly as fun as that little 225HP (maybe 230 with the tiny little things done- air silencer removed, 65mm TB, I wouldn't be surprised if he bumped the timing but I haven't asked) 5.0. It's sturdy, too- I do need to put a radiator in it, and I think it's gonna need a clutch cable, but we've run the hell out of it for 94,000 miles and it's taken it real well. For that, plus the memories of childhood, Ford has never, and will never, build a better Mustang than the Fox in my eyes.

@nedaCFilms 3 года назад

Yes, 300lb-ft of torque in a 3,000lb car is fun.

@timcole421 3 года назад

It's crazy how so many of us gen x-er's who have never met share the same nostalgic memories and the same impact it had on our car groups growing up. I really don't see the market propulsion slowing down any time soon. If anything they're getting more popular. I've never seen a car market blow up like the fox and a few other 80's-90's cars have recently. Had an 88GT back in the day and picked up my 91 GT a year ago having no idea of the market blowing up on them or how much I would fall in love with them again. Great video.

@joedurham7155 9 лет назад

Every time I watch this vid I get filled with nostalgia. Its been 7 months since I had to depart with my baby "Clarabelle", bought her junior year and that car really showed me what real cars are. I put all my money into it and dont regret it at all. 95 cobra 302, edelbrock performer rpm heads, svo roller rockers, f303 cam, bbk 70mm throttlebody, 24lbs inj's, gt40 tubular intake plenum, bbk pulleys, pro m mass airflow sensor, custom cold air intake, 4.10's in the ass, 5lug with full cobra brakes, bbk longtubes/O/R xpipe and off course the flowmaster american thunder cat back. That car was the meanest in the school! First time I cut her loose in 1st in 2nd I turned white as a ghost, it really scared me. Man the posi rear really fucking gets side ways fast.... I can't wait to own another fox! Oh yea she was an 89lx oxford white... Thanks nedac for making an awesome video of such an amazing car!

@joedurham7155 9 лет назад

I bought it acting like I could just get into it and drive it.... no. I really had to get used to that stiff clutch, hard cammed idle shaking the shift knob, steering wheel and basically the whole car even with solid motor mounts.

I had police waiting around the block from my school waiting for me to leave . Haha the good old days . 92 5.0 emerald green lx that still has the original paint 5spd , hasn't seen rain since 2000 . It's was my dream car when I was a kid . And having it still is great . For me having your dream car that you can actually afford is a good feeling . Would love a new cobra but wouldn't sell my fox to get it . Not like you get much for them , their days are ahead and getting better . Get the clean ones while you can with matching numbers . 🇺🇸

WIth MOST of todays cars looking like AN EGG (for a purpose, MPG) the FOX body just looks plain and if its the FOX sedan/coupe well you have a exterior sleeper for sure.

@chrisbishop7253 5 лет назад

Damn good video!!! And absolutely right! 10 years ago you seen them all the time. I have a 93 and you would swear im driving an exotic. The reactions i get are unbelievable! Now thats a vid in its self! I have a game i made up called "the head turn game" me and a buddy of mine will take bets on how many people will recognize the car to our destination. Its just unreal the attention these cars are getting.

@12anded 10 лет назад

Great video as always. Make me proud to own one. And you're right. You just don't see them, and when I so, whether a 4, 6, or 8 cyl, it always gets my attention and makes me smile.

@Odin3v 10 лет назад

I have 82 GT. I love this car. Its my favorite foxbody style. Hard as hell to find. Took 5 years to find one. Its my first fox and wont be my last. I am a foxbody fanatic.

@nedaCFilms 10 лет назад

These cars were a big deal back in the '80s.... and I wanted to throw together a little 5.0 Mustang Foxbody tribute featuring some of my old Foxbody footage that I shot many years ago. Just a little tribute to the car... and the past, present and future Foxbody Mustang freaks out there.

@dog33100 10 лет назад

im 15 and just got my first car its a 1991 mustang lx coupe with an aod and a 5.0. its a project but man is it sure fun to drive

@JohnTraeKing 10 лет назад

Swap a 5-speed in it for even more fun... as well as free up a few hp with less parasitic drag.

@dog33100 10 лет назад

nah i'll just end up burning the clutches up all the time haha and this is going to be a street strip car and i may do a little bracket racing so i want an auto for consistency too

@TheKoppenhaffer 10 лет назад

sweg biggums As a mustang owner, get rid of that AOD. You'll gain what feels like 50hp ditching that turd.

@nedaCFilms 10 лет назад

Yeah, the 5-speed models are absolutely more fun to drive and don't loose as much hp through the drivetrain due to parasitic drag.

@nedaCFilms 8 лет назад

+ArcadeDude44 The 5.0 Mustang was the right car at the right time! I can't think 1980s without picturing a late '80s 5.0 Mustang and IROC-Z Camaro, lol. BTW, that is my '89 LX at the end, lol. I have a couple videos of it on my channel, and many other Fox-body Mustangs!

@ArcadeDude44 8 лет назад

Sweet, I'll go check them out. Yeah, I'm a Ford guy from the start, but I also think of the Awesome IROC Zs, the GNs and the C4 Vettes, when I recollect on the late 80s. Awesome times...

@nedaCFilms 9 лет назад

ItsEdgarM10 The Tuned Port Injected and L69 H.O model 3rd Gen Camaro/Firebird will always share the same special place in my heart right beside the 5.0 Fox-body Mustang. I've owned twelve 3rd Gen models since buying my first '87 Firebird Formula back in 1992, then I bought a 5.0 Mustang the following year, then went back to a L69 H.O Camaro (actually owned three L69 cars) then my first TPI car, then back to a few 5.0 Mustangs, and back and fourth through the '90s, trying to choose between a 3rd Gen F-body and 5.0 Fox Mustang is like trying to pick which of my kids I love more, lol, I always say, lol.

Fox Body Mustang Generation X's muscle car Millennials' hot rod. I am 21 years old (a Chevy guy) and Generation X's muscle cars the Foxbody, the F-Bodies and the Monte Carlos have become popular among my generation. I drive an 86 Camaro IROC Z with TPI myself. A few of my friends have Fox Body's and another has a Carlo. All these cars have become the hot rods of my generation since they are cheap and have plenty of torque.

I can't remember the last time I saw a nice fox body. The few around my town are all ragged out, faded paint & filthy. Good to see there are still some nice ones out there.

@nedaCFilms 8 лет назад

+Iman Axbert Actually you are correct as most of this video footage was shot back in the '90s and early '00s lol.... although once in awhile you run across a really nice common GT or LX model, but most are stashed away in garages and only see beautiful 80-degree sunny days on Sunday lol. Chances of catching a glimpse of a '93 SVT Cobra, Saleen, SSP or other rare Fox is becoming an extremely rare sight, even at car shows.... unless you hit Mustang Week or Carlisle Events' Ford Nationals.

@douglasf3323 10 лет назад

@toddlococo6578 10 лет назад

Great video man. In the 90's I was in high school and remember a few of us had five-o's. To this day, my wife thinks I'm a freak when I hear (which is becoming more rare) a healthy 5.0 winding through the gears and I yell out "listen, it's a 5.0 Mustang!". What a distinctive sound!

@vibrant93 10 лет назад

Awesome video! Anyone remember the "Valley 5.0" group from WFC I , II & III? We were a bunch of 18-19 year old kids that took our fox body cars half way across the country to watch a race! It was like the woodstock of our generation.

@Todd.T 11 месяцев назад

Drove an 81 with a 351, a 1986 GT with ported 68 heads and ported Cobra intake with MAC headers/Borla exhaust/Roller rockers/75mmTB, drove a 1981 Cobra with a 13:1 460ci big block with ported heads / cam / intake. Anytime, anyplace you thought your GM was faster, I was there to take your money or at least take your pride. Imagine being 20 years old and getting an 87 Grand National and going street racing with all your friends and I give you a three car start and you ended up seeing the ass end of the 351 before you got out of first gear. C4 with shift kit and B&M Trick Shift. The 460 was in another dimension with it's torque levels. Used an FMX to handle it. You wouldn't expect to get spanked by an 18 year old, so if was fun.

I feel so lucky right now! 2 weeks ago I stumbled upon 2 notchback mustangs, 88-92, across the street thats in good condition. Since it's at my friends I asked and decided to keep them myself and am now looking forward to restoring them and filling the fire in the gap of this century that lacks understanding the classic mustangs they used to have. Can't wait to drive it! :)

@markurbancowboy 8 лет назад

I wanted one of these so bad back in the day when they came out. One of the best Mustangs ever made in my opinion. I love the Fox Body design. Not a hole lot a hp compared to what we have today, but the 300 plus ft-lbs made them fun to drive from stoplight to stoplight back then! They are kinda hard to find now.

@nedaCFilms 8 лет назад

+markurbancowboy Sounds like you lived the "Fox-body experience" too brutha, lol.... if you didn't experience the Fox-body movement "back in the day" from the mid '80s and through the '90s than they just don't understand, lol. The Fox-Mustang was/is today's '32 Ford and '55 Chevy. I feel what you are saying buddy, I was crazy about these cars from first experiencing them in the mid '80s, to first purchasing my very 1st 5.0 Mustang in the early '90s and love them just as much now as I did then, lol. They are a very special car to us Gen-X gearheads! I have a very special place in my heart for the 3rd Gen Camaro/Firebird models as well, especially the 230hp G92 optioned 5.0 Tuned Port 5-speed IROC-Z and Formula models and 245hp 5.7 Tuned Port models. My two favorite cars, the 5.0 Fox-body and 3rd Gen F-body. Still fun stoplight to stoplight runners even by today's standards, just as long as it's a short run between stoplights, lol. Thanks for stopping in and sounding off Cowboy!

@markurbancowboy 8 лет назад

+nedaCFilms / Mustang-Town Oh yeah I lived it, wanted one real bad back then but didn't have the money. In my opinion they were the true muscle cars (price, power, weight, mod-ability ect). Also, the sound of that 302 5.0L in the GT or LX was intoxicating! You can hear one up the road and know exactly what it is before you even see it! Take care man!

@MustangMedic 10 лет назад

@geraldgrandfield2031 7 лет назад

One thing is for sure. Nobody's on the fence about a fox body. You either love them or hate them. They are a handfull to drive and seem to be constantly trying to kill you, but i just love it.

@JohnnyGMachine 10 лет назад

Cool video. I'm gettin' ready to sell my '06 GT I've had for almost 4 years now. Lots of mods and at about 400 hp. I've had 7 Fox Bodies and just picked up a '93 LX Hatch 4 banger that's gettin' ready to go under the knife now. Super clean and waitin' for the Coyote 5.0 to get swapped in. I have to say I love the 06 GT but I just miss havin' a fox. There's nothin' like it!

@Scorpion54092 4 года назад

Still have my 92 GT, had thoughts about selling it but never could bring myself to do it. In the next decade or two these cars will be extremely rare since most of them are being gutted out or rusted out or totaled. So if you still have your fox , keep her and take care of her because the value can only go up.

With the internet and eBay, it could be all the way on the other side of the country now, lol. The hurt is real, lol.

@johnw7564 8 лет назад

I recently found my old foxbody from high school. I was so happy to see it had been fairly well cared for since I sold it. This one has a happy ending because the current owner told me he was thinking of selling it. We actually made a deal and now my high school ride I drove every day is sitting in my garage. It was surreal for about a year until it sunk in that I had it again. Weird as hell seeing it sitting in my garage. If you live in California I can tell you how I tracked it down. I don't know anything about other states. I used public records....

@chrisdobek1462 8 лет назад

+John W I live in Oregon now, but the car will hopefully still be somewhere in Michigan. Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit, moved out here in the last year to see what the fuss was about. Your happy ending gives me hope. I know there must be some paper work on the thing back in Michigan at my parents house. I'm asking them to look around. I know I will be able to come up with the vin, but i don't know how to track the current owner down. Isn't there some privacy issues with trying to find them online?

@johnw7564 8 лет назад

+Chris Dobek If you have the VIN, that's huge. Without the VIN you really have a difficult task. Anyway I didn't run into any privacy issues in California. Per a couple of the California Vehicle Codes, some basic registration information is public record. This may be the same as other states I'm not sure. In CA you can fill out DMV form "INF 70", send in $5, and receive an ownership history of your car. Due to privacy issues you only receive a name and city of the current registered owner. But for me that was enough. I used Facebook with that info to find (and email) the owner of my car. The rest is history! :-)

@SadisticStang 8 лет назад

Something that Fox Body says to me, besides the 80s/90s nostalgia, is the 'rural.' It's not a city car, it's a blue collar car and it conjurs up images of the midwest, graffiti under rail road overpasses, Village Pantry parking lots, local bars and a small drag strip.

You could devote the first 10-15 minutes on the history of the car and then move in to how the car brought back the American muscle car and the effect of the aftermarket parts market and some examples of Fox muscle thrown in..........all reasonably priced, I think it would work. I think someone will one day soon!!!!

I had the '90 G92 5-speed model back in the day, and have plenty of old video footage of it on here lol.
