Dusted off my piece-o-crap this weekend, guess I'll start driving it, I've had it for about a year now and have only driven it a hand full of times if that, it probably needs a few miles put on it.

I'm still not ready to giver her up. I was supposed to trade her in when I bought my 98 SVT conv, but she still just keeps going and it's over 12 years later. Head gasket blew at 175k and I just put in some sealant treatment and it stopped leaking. 45k later and she runs great. Best Car I ever had! I've replaced the alternator twice, and the waterpump and the starter once, but it was so easy and inexpensive I could never complain.

It looks like a very nice 85 LX to me, definately not a piece of crap. I like the added pony rims. when the 10 holes came out it was a big improvement over those trxs but the pony make the car look years newer. Nice!

You rarely see an 85 without the rear spoiler, I thought all 85s with the 5.0 had them. I know all 86s had them because of the brake light added that year. Anyway enjoy and by the way, nice garage!

GT's and SVO's came with with rear wings, the LX's did not, you could beg your deal to order, paint and install one for you, but is was not on the car from the factory, this is also why Saleen preferred you to order the LX for his conversion, as there was an up charge to De-GT the car for his set-up.

 

Correct in 1986 the Fed's mandated the CHML which caused all hatch backs, GT and LX to get the rear wing standard.

We still have a ways to go, but slowly and surely we'll get there!

 

Kinda cool for your parents to give you a 31 year old Mustang as your first car.

Nice Chris, it is very hard to find an all original 82 GT these days...Remember, Ford's advertising....The Boss is Back!!!

 

Here are a few Fox bodies I have for sale:

 

91 5.0 LX bone stock convertible, owned by an 84 year old customer of mine since new. Car is like a step back in time. One of 18 built with these color combos and options. Will sell for $11K. PM me if interested anyone. This car runs, and drives like a new one, anything not perfect has been rebuilt. Everything works. Car needs nothing.

For sure, the wheels are ugly on both cars. There is absolutely no wheels worth a crap out there for these cars

 

 

Yeah, I have never liked any wheel on the Fox cars that showed off the 4 lugs. My favorite of all the wheels though are the 16X7 Pony wheels on the 91-93 5.0's that at least have a cap to cover the lugs...

I miss my fox's! I had a 1979 Cobra (wish I had kept this car you NEVER see them), 1984 GT, and 1987 GT. They were fun when we didn't know better I'll always have a soft spot for them.

 

Oh...and the TRX wheels! ;-)

 

 

Here's a link to a FB post/pics by an NJ Stanger who just acquired a '79 Cobra V-8:

While I'm at it, here's a link to pics of a Fox Body for sale a town over from me. I don't know the owner, or anything about the car, other than needs some rust taken care of!:
