Top 10 Reasons to Buy A Foxbody Mustang 5.0 NOW! 

I must agree with you! Buy now while you still can.. Love the video brother very well said 👌

I bought a 1991 GT convertible in 1995, slapped a vortech on it and drove it daily till 2015 when I bought a new GT. Still runs great with original motor and Trans. My 15 year old son is now the proud owner.

The whole is greater then the sum of the parts. Anyone that “hates” these cars, probably hasn’t ever driven one.

Didn't think of it as an investment when I was 21. The ladies loved this car in 1990, so I bought one! Well......maybe that was an investment. 31 years later, and they still love it!

I drive my 89 everyday and people love it.

You got me at "you know how well the emergency handle works against the seat" 😂 🤝

You left out my biggest reason for loving the 5.0 Fox…durability. As a light car with a full sized car in-line drive train, they are overbuilt compared to today’s approach of putting in components that are sized to the exact platform. My 92 LX 5.0 convertible (owned since 1995), has over 300,000 miles on it and the engine has never been opened and doesn’t burn oil. Considering the mileage, I’ve done very little except routine maintenance. The list of replaced parts is fairly short. A radiator, 2 water pumps, one brake line, a rebuild of the infamous AOD transmission and I recently replaced the original convertible top. Except for the water pumps and brake line, all of these could have been deferred if I was willing to accept less than original performance. The car has been driven in all kinds of conditions and has lived outside for much of its life. Compared to all the other cars my family has owned, this is the low cost high reliability vehicle…..despite its 29-year age and 300K mileage. The number of vehicles you can own for 26 years, drive over a quarter of a million miles and then sell for more than you paid for it is a darn short list.

I am very happy I bought my 1989 fox 5 years ago. It had the perfect shell so I had to buy it. Been slowly fixing it with a recent re-build. You are right. Parts are everywhere and easily accessible. Awesome video. SUBSCRIBED!

I love your Mustang. The color is iconic. The most memorable Mustang is from the movie, "Menace to Society." It's green just like your but with Dayton wire wheels. This car blew our minds and started a movement. My friend had one I drove to impress a girl back in the 90's. I almost wrecked it due to power. Sis and I are on the hunt for one now. Great video.

My personal opinion. I love the fox bodies. The best looking mustangs period. My Uncle had an 87’ 5.0 and it was awesome.

Thank you for the cool fox video! I love hearing people talk about how special these cars really are. Love your car and it sounds great!🐺

Just bought a 89 Vert 5.0 5spd with 124,000 km a year and a half ago that was hidden away in a guys garage for 8 + years. Got it running, drove it home ( old fuel, smoked a lot haha) and have been having fun with my 19 and 17 year old boys bring it back to it’s glory days. Best $1200 I have ever spent! Great channel, keep it up 👍

My brother just bought a 1982. He's so obsessed with foxbodys. I'm here trying to better understand his admiration for these cars. After watching multiple review and restoration videos I'm beginning to see what he sees.

Great review. Beautiful car. Made me feel like just maybe the pain and agony of my 5 year project was worth it haha... I am currently in the process of painting my 92 Emerald GT Convertible. Love these cars it's great to see them getting appreciated.

dude real #1 reason they sound friggin awesome everybody our age know that sound

I owned mine for 24 years. I think anyone that owns one will smile from ear to ear when they see how well foxbodies respond to mods. The small things may not seem significant like a K&N filter or adding a strut tower brace but the big changes will definitely. these cars were 0 to 60 around 6.5 sec and quarter mile of 15s stock. but the minute mods like 3.73 gears. heads cam, intake throttlebody headers cat back injectors underdrive pullies, maf meters and so forth came into play. now the car just got really quick real fast. now its 0 to jail in under 4 one last caveat. modding a foxbody is like eating lays potato chips you cant just eat one. it gets better with every mod.

My first car was a 1990 fox body with *88* horsepower. Yep! The 2.3L 4 cylinder w/ auto was a dog and I would have to floor it at stop lights to keep up with mini-vans. Just purchased my 3rd fox a few months ago. 1992 "Summer Edition" 5.0 convertible. It was a limited offering from Ford and I could not be happier with it!

Glad to have stumbled across your channel. I’m in Kamloops, and share your sentiments exactly. Love your notch. I’ve got an ‘86 5.0 hatch, which I did a full resto (zero rust car, so pretty easy) with a few engine/suspension/brake mods. Got heckled a bit for it back in 2012, but gaining a bit more respect for it these days. Cool to see more locals coming out of the woodwork.

Bought my 86 gt when I was 21. I still have the thing. I am now going on 56 yrs old. Listening to you makes me want to work on it some more. I love that hunter green on your car...the car is beautiful. Thanks again for the motivation

Got a 1992 5.0 Mustang GT 5.0 bought it brand new it now has 32.000 original miles on it. Garaged it’s whole life. Love it.

Mine sits in my driveway parked like a trophy facing the road. Foxes are therapy. Torque smiles for days. 🤣

Great video! The cam in your car sounds addictive!!

Man, your car is so clean! This video was sweet! Just got an ‘89 that’s definitely a bit of a project car, but I’m all for it. Growing up we had 2 foxes and an sn95 at the house!

You nailed it man!! Every single reason you had to buy a Fox is legit!! Your thoughts on why the sales and prices going up is spot on too. Us, people of their era were young kids drooling every time we would see one. Now in our 40's with stable jobs are able to actually afford to get one and hook it up. I got mine three years ago with that exact story. So glad I did. The value has gone up and I got it for a decent price. Thanks for sharing your fox experience brother!!!

The Foxbody is the Generation X's muscle cars, as they ruled the streets back in the 80s to early 90s, that unmistakable 6 piece parking lights at night to the famous exhaust tone thats paired with a set of flowmaster 40 series lol, such nostalgia I was born the 80s so I basically grew up around these cars along with the 3rd gen IROC-Z and Grand National, love them all. You were on point with the getting gas bit, I have a 87 T-Top foxbody (93 cobra style tribute) and its a 100% guarantee that someone will talk to you or comment about your car lol. Awesome ride btw, love it!

I just got my first fox body it's a 88 gt and it's my daily and I love it

Love the car and color, thanks for the post!

Exactly....I bought mine a little over a year ago for $8.5k, which was a steal. With only $2k put in, I have a $20K car. Let's GO!

Great points man! I have my two 4 eyes that I'll hold close for a long time! I scooped up a super clean 85 GT roller this winter. Original jalapeno red paint, garage kept its whole life and in the same family since the early 90's! I'm really excited to coyote swap it!

I have nothing but respect for you and your knowledge of the foxbody. Nice to see you kept this car well maintained through the years. I have a unmolested 1991 GT 5.0 I bought in 1994 and still have it today. I've owned the car 27 years and I'm 49 years old now. It's part of the family and that's where it's gonna remain. Our generation had/has huge respect for these cars since our youth. Simply put, the foxbody was the best bang for your buck.

I just bout a 88 foxbody and it's not even running right now and I love it

Fox body has been my dream car for years and yesterday I finally bought one! Words can’t even describe the feeling but I’m sure you all remember the day you got your first one. Got this recommended today and one of the first things he says is “get you a fox body yesterday” he was probably joking but this was true for me and has me even more excited for the journey!

I bought my first 87 gt in 1990. I have owned 7 since. Now i have an 85 gt vert low miles and gets lots of smiles. By the way I'm 65 and a high percentage of comments I get are from Boomers like me! Love this channel!

Glad I got my 92 back after having sold it 11 years prior. I did a full restoration on it, never to be sold again. 👍😎🇺🇸

I have had my 92GT for almost 23 years, you are right about stopping for gas as it usually brings a few people along stopping to talk.

Great video. I have had the pleasure to own a couple of these and after selling my 88GT luv 13 years ago to take on fatherhood (again), I have finally got to a financial point where I could get another. You were right on with your idea of our generation, and financial alignment imo. Look forward to see more from you and shoot , talking Fox..... Keep safe , God bless

I find it ironic that the Notchback was the less popular body style when these cars were new and now they’re becoming the more desirable car.

I bought my 89 in January of 1995, and still have it today. Strangely enough, I too almost traded mine a year later for a yellow 95 GT. I had the paperwork all filled out, got approved from my bank, etc.... then went home to sleep on it. I ultimately decided to keep the Fox, and boy am I glad now.

I recently snagged my childhood dream car an e39 M5 and am very happy with it. A 5.0 5 speed notch is another car I've always really wanted and I agree with everything you said here.

FiveOposse represent 👊🏻 Much respect. Awesome vid💯

I agree 100%. I am finally at the point where I was able to get one. It took a little while to find the one but I found a 1989 Saleen #723. It’s amazing.

ill never forget when i first bought my most recent one..90 lx 5.0 stick 25 years hatch......i stopped for gas and a wide eyed boy of about eight or 10 or so..walked over and said ...is that a foxbody mustang lol it was great!!!!

That sound, that feel, that smell and the screams from the ladys. You cant beat em. Made all the Irocs jealous

Hey man, I think your body kit looks awesome! Don't apologize for it. I had a Kamei kit and Enkei saw blade rims on my high school GT. Great video-Thanks! Happy Friday from San Diego!!!

Picked up a 88 gt right when covid hit. Exact color, interior and year i had in high school in the late 90's. Down to the ponys. Scored big time. Kid needed cash. 4500 is all I paid. Ok driver quality paint. 5 speed. Full exhaust, gt40 3 bars, unknown cam, explorer intake and a super low serial # rebuilt A-trim. 🤘🇺🇸

Nice notch. Admirable you've kept yours that long. I was out of the fox game in 1995, got back in 4 years ago. And if it's my choice, I'm never leaving again.

I just bought a fox body LX , off of a friend it was his mother's. She had passed away. 63,000kms only and its a 4 banger and solid Your car is AWESOME AND THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

Dude you're car looks awesome. I have 1998 gt and i love the fact aftermarket companies are there for us.

My dad had over a dozen foxbodys when I was younger. At 20 years old I bought my first fox last May, 89 GT 5.0 5spd with only 90k on the clock. Couldn’t be any happier with the purchase.

Still have my 92 sumer edition. Great cars, love the fox body!!

That green is gorgeous, nice ride man. The teal 93’ Cobra is my dream Fox

Agree 💯. My 89 Gt with 20k original miles is tucked away in a safe place.

👍🏻 great points. Glad I have mine already. One thing you left off the list is the sweet music the exhaust plays. Probably the best sounding car in the world is a Fox with flowmasters lol.

Your car is beautiful!! Just subscribed. I bought a 86 GT back in 87, sold it in 2001. Was trying to find a replacement and decided to try and find my exact old car. Well, I searched and eventually found it in 2018 in Massachusetts, bought it back and it’s never going anywhere!!

I bought my 20th Anniversary GT 350 with the 5.0 new in April of 84 and love it to this day.

Back in the day I test drove a 1991 Hunter green Mustang LX 5.0 extremely low mileage. The thing that caught my eye was it seemed like a very unique one. It had a 302 BOSS emblem on the motor, the wheels were 5 star chrome, all of the emblems were gold including the pony emblems on the wheels, and the sunroof was bigger than usual. Someone told me it had a Lotus style sunroof. Anyway, my biggest regret was not pulling the trigger on it. I'll never forget the price for it too. It was for sale for $11,900 in 1992.

1st time viewer, born in 61 , I've owned and have ridden in just about every make of mustang Love them I own 3 the 2000 Cobra SVT is my favorite ,mustang owners you know what I'm talking about the rest of you , go get you one and find out

I still have my 93’ Coupe. I owned it since 00’

100% agree. Great video

ive got an 89 LX that i've owned since 09. love it, so easy to work on and a few engine mods can make you a TON more power.

The colour of your car man, that’s gorgeous!!

I'm 4o, we love these cars and guys like us ARE the reason these are cool!

Great video 👍

Love the look of your notch with the kit

I'm french and I've driving and working on Fox Mustangs since 2015, restored a 79 Ghia and daily drove a 79 notch until recently (i will again soon, just put Sn95 drivetrain in it). The daily driver experiznce was very good, smooth, comfortable, good handling. They are amazing cars for many reasons, but despised here. The style is too different from what people think a Mustang should look like. They are also quite rare, while 1st gen, 5th and 6th gen are relatively common here. I wish I could find a Capri but I think there are less than 20 in the whole Europe. I've only seen four online for sale since I got into these cars.

That thing is awesome , I'm just happy I can keep mine running lol, got mine in 95 from a salvage yard in bayside queens, rebuilt it with my dad now work on it with my kids

Man reminds me of the good days. I graduated in 2000 and I had the 89-1/2 built with a mild E303. Cam and you name the rest. Loved that car!!!!! My best friend still has his 93 cobra sitting in his garage that hasn’t been touched since 2004.

I love your car and that color is one of my favorites. Im now a subscriber and look forward to your videos

I had a 87 GT in high school and bought a 90 last year. Great cars :)

had a lot of fox body gt back in the day, 5.0 7up convert was my fav

You reinforced my decision to keep mine. Been parked a while. Thanks.

My brother and my father rebuilt an 89 foxbody. Welded a new roof on it, dropped a new engine in it. That was his first car in the late 2000's. Soon enough my brother built that car up and drifted it for years. 3 years ago he abandoned it. For a 91 fox from down south. Now im trying to rebuild whats left of this 89. Learning how to cut, weld, and how to fabricate on this car. Its been a massive learning experiance.

I love your green Mustang with the chrome on it!! I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!!!

Gotta love a coupe. Had mine for 11 years now.

Love it. Thanks Brother

Agree 1000% got a 1988 5.0 LX convertible gifted to me from my grandfather and i would never get rid of it love it to death

That Friday insert 😂😂DAMM!!🤣🤣

Haha and I remember sending off that little card in the 5.0 mags to order a subscription. Check the box of subscription you wanted and boom mag would show up

Well said man! You sure got a lot of traction with this vid.

Great Video......................Ive got a Vert with a Canvas Top What cleaner and protector brand would you lean toward??

Had mine now for 33 years. Love the car now as much as first day out of the dealership. Plate sais 50grin. That said it all.

Love my 92. Best car I have ever had. Quick, nimble, runs and looks great, so yeah. I prefer my coupe over the hatchback, but yeah. Wish I had a second one, right? Can never have too many Mustangs. Hopefully one day soon I can add another one. That will be awesome, right?

you have a nice LX and thank you for the video.

Great video. I grew up in 80's and definitely this mustang was badass back then. First time I hear the name" fox body." Your dark green mustang is badass! The lower body kit makes it even more original and tastefully done. I will take your advice and look around to see what's available up here in Canada. 👍

sadly this makes people want big money for the beat ones with multicolor body parts missing interior parts, sitting in a fenced in lot somewhere. Ny, nj, put these cars on the map raceway park if any had the chance to race at fun ford weekends or gn and mustang shoot outs it was something to experience.

Great video my friend!! I pick up my 86 saleen clone this week!! I'm soooooooo excited 😁

Love that sound great video. Greetings from california

My first fox was a 84 GT at the age of eighteen, not much could touch it where I lived! My second was a 91 coupe/ notch back, a lot of fun, but I couldn't keep my speeds down! Anyway, love your car, it brings back so many good memories. My wife would kill me if I bought one now. Oh well, as long as I can still listen to them on youtube I will survive.

Love to have a notch but they getting harder to find cheap. I got a GT and I’m happy with that

Also a ton of them are raced out. Still look good but damn what I would do to have that 1993 hatchback back. Damn

Loved this vid and subbed. I bought my '90 LX hatch 5.0 in Jan. 1990 (yes, I am the original owner.) The car was built for me. I filled out a build sheet at the dealer, picked my colors and options. I thought that it might be a pretty good investment because I saw that nice 1970 Mustangs were selling for their original price in 1990. The body is all original including the 10-hole 15" rims, but I have added a KenneBell supercharger (8-9 psi), full 2 1/2" exhaust from the heads to the rear bumper and a full suspension (Eibach springs, Koni adjustables, Steeda sway bars, BBK control arms.) ...Also, very true, what you said about gas stations!

I agree with you 100%. Great video!

I've always wondered what a coup with GT ground effects look like. Just what I thought it looks great

My 90 fox was passed down to me from my dad who bought it new. Never giving it up. I'm gonna hoard them lol.

Yes sir. I pulled mine outta the back yard (grave yard after sitting 3 yrs of course starting it now and then) and still performing like it should. Coffee holder is what I'm talking about. The emergency brake/seat holds it well. Keep it up brother.

I agree. I bought mine about 2 months ago. Red and black convertible with 26k original miles. Love it!

Man now I need to go buy another fox!! Your gonna jacks up the prices even further with videos like this!!

Love the cars, my feet are too big for the pedals, with shoes on, i hit the brake and the clutch constantly.

I have a 1990 7-UP. Anniversary. Emerald Green, White top convertible, white leather interior. 59,000 miles. Bought new one owner. Love it. My kids get it when I go.

Love the video and I love my 91 GT convertible! Ive got a lot of love, money and time in her restoration! 95% I did myself!
