Looking for a good time. Shopping for a fox body

[Bobs69]

I'm looking for a 1987-1993 mustang 5litre 5speed.  Convertible would be nice.  Something already modified tastefully would be nice.  Want it fast, reliable and ready to go.  No projects.  Immediate gratification needed.  Should have the MASS AIR conversion already done if pre 1989.

[Charger-Bodie]

There is a local guy here who has a 91 lx 5 speed for sale 4k I think. Light blue metallic . Pretty nice quick little car. Its in ne Iowa .If you want his info let me know.

[6spd68]

If you want something a little different...  I'd sell you my 87 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, converted to a 347 Stroker with 5spd for 6500$.

[Bobs69]

Can't settle, I want that strange little tramp of a mustang.  It's a no compromise kind of car.  Thanks for the offer tho.

[c00nhunterjoe]

I had a 92lx for a couple years when i also owned the charger.... was a fu. Car but i wish i would have sunk that money i to the charger..... started as a daily driver, turned to modifying, became a street strip car and before i k ew it, my daily driver now had a carb'd 306 with trick flow heads, big cam, tremec trans, built rear...yada yada yada.... ran 11.0's on street tires.....then i put spray on it...... it was a blast.... but it wasnt the charger.... so i sold it.

[myk]

I love Fox body LX's; if I had the money I'd spring for one as well.  Personally, I'd like to get my hands on a '98 Cobra, the "one that got away."

[Ghoste]

For some reason Myk I thought you did have a Fox body Mustang.

[Aero426]

Fun cars.    If I had another, I'd still want a coupe or the hatch so I could do a track day now and then.   

[PrisonHack]

 I have had a few, a lot of bang for the buck. Fun cars, but getting harder to find in decent shape.

Maybe so, but so many open boxes to do whatever you want with them.

Parts are cheap in comparison to mopars, and you can make 'decent' power out of a 302-347 setup.  Personally I chose to go 347 over 331 or 306 w/ a blower.  (It's not 2003 anymore, you can build an amazing stroker motor that'll last you more then 15k miles, and still not burn a drop of oil.)  It all boils down to what you like, and how you want to go about it.  There are so many different custom options for those cars.

My only problem is I've had a fox body car since high school (2001)  I'm no rather bored of them to be honest.  Got the T-bird to pretty much where I'd wanted her.  Now it's time to move on to the car I've wanted since I was 7, hence my Charger resto.

Ahh i think many of us are like that.

Had a Gt that was a bolt on car. Finished with a HCI windsor tremec ect ect. Sold it. Needed instat gratification too. Bought a 91 Lx not emeralg green original paint with HCI efi. Fun little car.

[Cooter]

Could have muscle car and power by running an older Maverick. Thinking bout a 393 in mine.

[myk]

For some reason Myk I thought you did have a Fox body Mustang.

I wish.  When I was Mustang shopping in 1998 I could've had my choice in Fox body's (they were abundant then), a '98 Cobra or what a finally went with, a '98 GT...

[Mike DC]

 
Just don't wait too long to buy if you want one.  The nicer ones will already be climbing back up in value long before the raggedy ones hit bottom. 

There are guys who have been "looking for a good deal on a Charger" since the 1980s.

Oh, you mean when a Hemi car would've been 4000$ in good shape?

[charger_fan_4ever]

I think we always think thats too much $$ for what it is i will wait they will get cheaper. Always bites us when it comes to muscle cars or anything vintage.

I thought i paid too much for my rusty hulk in 2008. Now i see non r/t's in same shape as mine was for same $$ or more.

[PrisonHack]

  One of the nicer foxes I had was an '87 GT I bought in 1998 for 3K. It was bone stock and super clean. One that clean and stock now normally has an asking price of 6K at least in this area.

[Mytur Binsdirti]

Personally, I'd rather have a foxy body to have some fun with

Yup, buy now or forever hold your peace.

As for foxy European bodies to play with, Lucy Pinder's nice but I prefer Alice Goodwin me-self...

[Cooter]

Getting harder to find one of those that ain't been rode hard and put up wet...wait what?
We still talking bout cars right.

[Ghoste]

Yeah, the similarities there can be pretty alarming sometimes.  (we are talking about riding the same things hard and putting them away wet right?  horses?)

Similar to me, in that I'd last about a second behind any of the aforementioned foxes before I hit the wall...

[Bobs69]

I see a lot of people growing up have a lot of fun with those foxbodys.  really seem to agree with them, I want my turn with her, IT now.

[Chad L. Magee]

Man, if only you had posted this sooner.   I traded away one last year to a friend for some second gen Charger parts, as I was tired of paying storage on it and had no time to go get it (out of state).  It was a mint white/green 1988 Mustang LX convertible that came with the factory 5.0.  The body had about 105,000 miles on it with no repaint or rust.  The drivers door was dented and did need replaced, but I got a correct color matched door with it.  The engine had been replaced with another 5.0 out of a 1986 GT (with 30,000 miles on it) after the original one locked up.  I ended up with most of the original parts except the block, which was traded into the junkyard as a core by the previous owner.  The car was practically given to me by someone whom I used to work with, because his wife would not let him own it anymore and he was tired of fighting her over it.  I think I paid like $5 for it (lunch), but much more $$$ later on in the storage.  My friend, the current owner, is "fixing it up" for his wife to drive.   He will likely be driving it more than her. ...

I did find this for you if you want one not so correct on the east coast:

 Ive always had a thing for fox bodies. When I was in high school in the 80's they were the baddest thing going as far as new cars. I always envied the kids with wealthy parents who got new 5.0 Mustangs when they started driving while I tried to keep my Honda patched together and running, sacking groceries didn't quite pay enough for a new mustang. Later when I got out of high school and started making a little better money the first thing I did was save up enough money for a down payment on a 10 year old Fox GT. I was on top of the world driving that car home! Since then I have had 4 other fox bodies with varying levels of mods, then I got married had kids ect. and now drive a Toyota . I could go out and get another 5.0 and have thought about it, but now I am scrounging back pennies and dimes dreaming of a charger which I have drooled over since I was five. The sad part is in the 80's I probably could have found a charger for not a lot more cash than the raggedy Honda I bought on my grocery store paycheck    Sorry for the Essay 

[Bobs69]

okay guys.  Opinions, suggestions, what do I need to look out for.  Money?

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/belleville/1987-ford-mustang-gt-cobra-convertible/586397624

[6spd68]

What stroker kit was used?
Do they have documentation of the build?
Check for rust around the strut towers by the frame
Are there subframe connectors already installed to support the power of the 347?

Simple things I would check ^ 

Looks like a great car for the money...

Check this out for a more complete list:

[PrisonHack]

 Not a bad looking car except those tail lights  .

[Bobs69]

I like the fact is has a proper fin on the trunk.  Proportional to the rest of the car.

What about spot welds and factory seems?  Spot welds in the quarter panels where the wheel tubs connect.  Probably the rocker panels underneath, which are likely hidden by ground effects................

I still think of these cars as new, so body work isn't first and foremost on my mind, other then looking at the gaps between panels.

[myk]

I know this is like asking you to find a Unicorn, but I'd try and hold out for a 'Fox that's either bone stock or 'modded very little; these cars were flogged all over the place and heavy 'modding strongly hints at that possibility...

[Bobs69]

I know this is like asking you to find a Unicorn, but I'd try and hold out for a 'Fox that's either bone stock or 'modded very little; these cars were flogged all over the place and heavy 'modding strongly hints at that possibility...

I hear what you're saying and that's what I originally we're thinking about you looking for but then I seen this and said everything's already been done I don't have to dream about doing anything else to it.

So yeah, this Fox has been around the block.  Could probably drive itself.  So I'm assuming this Fox knows all the tricks and is built to satisfy.  So long as it's healthy, and clean....................... and yes I realize "black cars look better in the shade."

[6spd68]

Myk is right, but wrong at the same time.  It really all depends on exactly what you're looking for.  Are you looking for a car you can drive everywhere without a care in the world?  Or are you looking for a speed demon?  (If so) How knowledgeable are you with Fords?  Can you work on the car yourself?

If you're looking for a fox with it's original driveline, then yes, I'd say go for one that's bone stock or modded very little.  After all, the cars with bolt on only upgrades, and maybe that 'legendary  ' e303 cam; would be the ones he describes as being flogged all over the place.  There are a lot of those tired cars out there.  A lot of fox body guys will just take their cars somewhere and pay to make'em faster.  Myk is very right in this case; those cars are usually beat to sh!t, and the worst part is, that's a beating on an engine that likely already has 125K+ on it.  BUT BOLT ONS MAKE IT FRESH RIGHT?!?!?! 

BUT!  That 347 car could be like my Thunderbird, where the only thing stock about the driveline is the rear-end housing, and everything else is new.  In that case, you've got a fresher build, newer performance parts, all in a pretty decent package.  The only thing with a more performance machine, is that it becomes less of something you want to drive everyday, and more something you only take out every now and then.

More things to ask about THAT car in those regards:
What has he done with the transmission?  Did he go with a Tremek?  If so, which Tremek?  If it's still a T5, which one?  Did he swap out the gears?  (If it's stock, find out what kind of power the 347 actually makes, else there goes 3rd gear...)
Does the car heat up? (High compression 302/306/331/347's don't like to idle in traffic for very long and can creep up quickly)
^What's the cooling system like?  (Should at least be a 3 core rad)  I've got a Mishimoto with a 19LB cap, electric pusher fan, and a mechanical fan.
Has the differential been serviced?  The 8'8 is a pretty stout rear-end, but the clutches in the diff wear out like any would in a 20+ year old car that's seen some real power.  Make sure there's no one tire fire

All in all, looks like you can have a lot of fun with that one, just know what you're getting in to.  Best of luck as always!

[Aero426]

I would want the car in the best condition, that has been messed with the least.   That would mean starting with something that is basically stock, or close to it.   Chances are, there will be less mess to undo.  

[Bobs69]

Alright guys I phoned the man and my friend and I are going to check it out tonight.  

On the phone I asked him what stroker kit was in it.  He couldn't tell me.  He bought the block and heads from a local mechanic looking to liquidate, AND (red flag?) he couldn't remember the guys name.  Ah ha.,.....hmmmm.  He does know someone at my friends place of work so HOPEFULLY things can be verified to some extent.  All he could say about the motor was that different people told him the mechanic had $8000 in it.

If this was an everyday ordinary car for double or triple the money I wouldn't even look at it after that.  However I too am thinking that a stroker motor would require a skilled builder and more new parts.

The rims are Cobra rims................what would the stock one have been?  

I do like the looks of this car.  Tastefully done.

The taillights?  I'll have to get a better look.  Stock would have been long narrow slits correct?

I was wondering why he wouldn't have included a lot more pictures.................... the wife says some people just don't like a lot of attention.

[Aero426]

Anything in a four lug wheel is not a Cobra wheel.    Those are nice looking, but aftermarket.  

Stock 1987 wheels are the 15" turbine style or the 10 hole for an LX.

Yes, the 87-89 GT taillights have those slots.

[Aero426]

1990-1993 16" 5 spoke factory wheels.

[Aero426]

1990 LX with the stock 10 hole wheels.   These are 15".

I personally prefer the clean looks of the LX.   The body cladding on the GT is somewhat dated.  

Don't forget, you can also go with the 1994-98 body, of which the unibody platform underneath is virtually identical to the earlier 1979-1993 models.    But you get some powertrain, wheel and suspension updates.      

[Aero426]

This was my '85 GT which I owned for almost 20 years.   I upgraded the brakes and springs on it.   I did a stock engine rebuild on it and I upgraded to an 8.8 rear.   That's all over that whole period.   The '85 was the last carbureted GT.  The car was good fun and cost little to run.

The current owner has taken it to the next level and really hotted it up mechanically and has a short rear gear in it.  It is much faster than when I owned it.   But he is now breaking parts and the engine is apart for the second time.   This is why I would prefer to find a car fairly close to stock to start with.

thank you I did not notice that what is wrong with having a4 lug system I see a lot of people like to brag that they got an upgraded too five lugs

handles more power do I really need to worry about that

excuse my grammar fellas I'm talking into the phone

[Aero426]

Aside from strength, there probably are more wheel choices with the five lug.   If that was done, that's a good upgrade.   Anything brake or suspension related is probably money well spent compared increasing HP.   These cars go pretty well in stock trim.   When you add power, you can run out of brakes quickly.

Starting with 1994, you get five lug wheels stock.   

[Bobs69]

Didn't even bother driving it.

Wasn't expecting it to be that rough.  amateur paint job.  I'm sure I would have done better.  shock towers going bad, one in the trunk was real bad.

The car was lowered 1.5 inches.  That was a plus.

Wasn't what I was looking for.

OK Myk.  I'm back to looking for a more original car.

Something from the Southern States, or protected from Canadian winters.

[Cooter]

Had a 85 GT. Started out was just gonna do 3.73's, headers, and Flowbastards.
by the time it was over, it was caged, 331ci., 200 shot NOS KIT, ran 6.70'S and had the trans (T5) out 7 times.

Got to where I could have it out, on the bench, torn down, an upgrade kit from D&D Performance which I kept one in stock at all times, in and back together in 2hours.

[PrisonHack]

 The five lug swap is a preference thing, and gives you a huge selection of rims.  I personally prefer the factory 4 lug Pony rims or the 10 Hole rims but that's all in the eye of the beholder.

Tragic, shame you don't want a Turbo Coupe...  Mine is mint underneath, just needs a repaint on the hood if you care enough.

Did it at least sound nice?

There's nothing wrong with a project car if that's what someone wants; to each their own.  Personally, I don't like picking up someone else's mess; I want to buy it drive it and enjoy it, and the likelihood of doing so with a Frankenstein'ed car isn't very likely.  Good luck with your search...

This is what I was talking about.  

The raggedy project-cars will probably continue to be cheap for while.  But if you want a nice near-stock survivor then I wouldn't wait around any longer to start looking.   It's already been 25 years since the 1990 models were hitting the streets.

[PrisonHack]

 Must have sold quick the as is already gone, it just posted this morning

[69bronzeT5]

At one point I owned 4 Fox Bodies. 3 were 5.0Ls, one was a 4 cylinder. I have none left, I sold them all.


This was my main Mustang. 1990 5.0L 5 speed LX hatchback. I purchased it in September 2010 for $2,300. It had no badges, stock 10 hole LX wheels, missing trim, blown heater core. For mods, it had Flowmaster exhaust, BBK H-pipe, BBK Shorty headers, BBK short throw shifter, K&N CAI, 2004 Mach 1 seats, 2004 Mach 1 3:73 gear set. I put a set of Pony wheels on it, did a bunch of maintenance to it (new rad, water pump, ball joint, brakes etc), installed a BBK adjustable clutch cable, put 2012 5.0 badges on it. I sold it to my dad in October 2011 for $4,000 when I purchased my Magnum. He ended up owing me a bunch of money so he gave it back in April 2012. After that I got the transmission rebuilt, put new headlights in it, a Hurst white shifter ball and Weld Draglites. I sold it back in May 2013 to a close friend of mine for $5,000. She still has it.





My dad bought this one in 2008. It was another 1990 5.0L 5 speed LX hatchback. He ended up bouncing it off a pole in March 2009. The insurance company wanted to write it off so he decided to keep it and fix it. He gave it to me back in 2011 after he lost storage for it and I ended up dragging it around for him. I put it into storage at his ex's house and decided I wasn't going to do anything with it so I gave it back to him. He still has it stored at his ex's house.




This one I purchased from a wholesaler at my old work. It was a 1993 5.0L automatic LX hatchback. Bone stock, never messed with. Factory cats, exhaust etc. It even had the original owner manuals and leather sunroof bag. 125,000 original kms. The original owner traded it in on a 2012 Mazda 3 SkyActiv when I worked at Mazda. They gave him $1,500 on trade for it and sold it to the wholesaler for $2,000. I bought it off of the wholesaler for $2,800 and did a quick flip on it for $3,600. I only owned it for about a month. It was REALLY clean. My buddy purchased it off of me and unfortuntely kind of trashed it a bit. He still has it though.





This one was a 1989 LX hatchback 4 cylinder automatic. I paid $400 for it with the idea of using it as a parts car for my dad's wrecked one. I ended up selling the front seats, using a bunch of parts on my black 5.0L and then gave it to my dad as well.

[F8-4life]

Fun read... I just picked up a 1988 GT t-top car for mostly the same reasons as OP

needs a bunch of stuff, (ie motor and trans) has a set of monkey bars, tubular front end and some other go fast goodies

I am pricing what it cost to put together vs my '68 Charger and wowsers...

[Indygenerallee]

Ugh... T top car... 

[Bobs69]

So I've seen a couple disappointments.

Last one was in Ottawa.  Thankfully I was already up there to look at something else.  Obviously a project he had enough of.  Didn't even wash the damn thing.  Like at least run it thru the car wash.

Had a quick white paint job.  When I say quick I mean the wiper arms were painted and the plastic cowl as well.  I took it for a drive.  Nothing like driving in the big city where you can't get a car into fourth gear.  Pretty quick test as well.  Goofy looking instrument cluster, with loose dash around it.  Odometer didn't look tampered with, but all the same it was goofy.  Minor detail really. 

Bondo in the hood...............not sanded the finest, starting to discolor like rust.  Couple spots like that.  I won't make an offer.

Thinking of looking at this one next time I go visit my sister.  Any advice on what to look for and ask about a 4 cylinder converted to an 8?

My parents live in that area if you wanted to see the Thunderbird as well  

**EDIT: Not pushing the car on you.  Just sayin if you wanted to talk cars while you were in town.  Plus, the Thunderbird is a pretty fun whip around the block.  

\/ Also, that car was originally a 4cyl, so I can show you what to look for...

[Bobs69]

Ok guys.  I was going to let this subject go, but the kid with this car is wanting me to come look.  What do you think?  What's going on under the hood.  That intake isn't stock.

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-voiture-collection/ouest-de-lile-qc/1987-mustang-gt-convertible/1014854606

[6spd68]

Reminds me of that first one with the horrid paint job.

[Slowpoke]

The intake looks like the ford performance gt40 intake, its a good upgrade for the 5.0, especially if he got the matching cam.

[Aero426]

I will go back to what I probably said earlier, which is,  buy the best, most unmessed with car you can find.   Pay a little more up front and get a better car right out of the gate.    

The aftermarket hood and all that blue crap in the engine bay screams "run away" to me.  

[Bobs69]

By the way 68sixspeed that's a good looking car.  Id imagine those rims are tuff to keep looking good.


As for getting the best unmolested car possible, I agree.  I'm also looking or a cheap thrill.  I know, cheap could lead to disappointment.  The aftermarket hood, I agree is shit.  The blue stuff under the hood.................could be hiding a wiring nightmare.  Front of the engine looks good............ new pulleys and brakets?

[6spd68]

By the way 68sixspeed that's a good looking car.  Id imagine those rims are tuff to keep looking good.

16' BBS RS style Enkei rims.  I got them with the car, way back in 2006.  They're a little work(gotta get in and scrub with a cloth), but no where near the maintenance a set of wire wheels(Dayton's).  Drove it for the first time since July over the weekend.  Might put it on Kijiji again in a month or so, or I might just keep it till the Charger is done .

Any other Stangs catch your eye?  It's crazy that we've reached the age where we're able to find half finished project/ basket case fox bodies online.  I remember when a good stock car was 3000$ at the high end.  What will that get you now?  A decent 4/6 banger car?

Originally I said I wanted V8 5speed, AC convertible.  Leather.  No compromising.  Leather may not be a deal breaker.  I said I'd wait and find the right one.  My wife is holding me to my original criteria and we have agreed $6000 is the top.  I was surprised that it has proven this hard.

I've been watching the same cars all summer.  They don't sell, and some are starting to become motivated.

I low balled this guy, he wanted $9500 I think................. I said I'd give him $6000.  No go.  He told me to make another offer and I said I wouldn't insult him again.

Well the car is still for sale.  And he wanted another offer.  Summer is over, the mood is gone, I did raise to $7000.   He said $7900 and I just didn't answer.  Now he wants me to call and come see him.  It looks like what I've been waiting for.  Can I convince the wife?  If I really wanted too.'

I'm also in the middle of interviewing for a different jobs.  It would require me to go back to school unpaid for a period of time.  The timing may not be right....................  Here is is.

I don't remember if this car has AC, I can't see a pump.  I also forgot that it is an American car.  So the mileage can not be verified.  It's clean, very clean.

Yellow though ...  It's not a Viper/Ferrari, or even a Corvette.  Personally, I'd have to paint the car.  I still say 6K is reasonable for it.  

If you like the yellow though, go for it  

EDIT***  I guess my biggest gripe with it, is that they painted the trim/bumper stripes along with the car.  It would probably look better if those were black again, to match the top.

Fox's are a rare, dying breed, especially ones that don't look like they've beeen 'modded or hammered to s**t.  I agree that the yellow car has some........"unfavorable" 'mods done IMO, but it looks clean and solid, which is more than most can hope for in this day and age.  Go for it, if you like it...

Drove my fox a bunch last night...  Too many cops out to really have fun though...

I looked at that one.  Took a mechanic buddy with me.  Yeah it sounds great in the description but it's junk once you see it.  Can't document the engine build.  I didn't even make an offer.  No plates on it, couldn't drive it.

Junk?  Wow it looks good in the pictures...

Paint job is not professional.  Very obviously amateur.  You could see sand marks in the paint. 

It had some holes in the trunk by the shock towers.

He had a lot of good parts, but this was a project gone bad and he had just had enough of that.

maybe the word junk as a little harsh but my buddy grab ahold of the roll bar on the inside and it was lose the guy didn't even bother to tighten things up

That's unfortunate, so it was just like that other blue one with the 347 then?  That's a bummer! 

Lashed my valves, tuned my carb, and swapped out my ignition switch/cylinder this weekend.  Even if the car wont sell, it's still one of the funnest I've ever driven...

Best of luck on your continued quest.     If I see anything else, will post it here too.

Update:  I hit a moose with my Accord coupe, I replaced it with a 2005 Mustang GT 5 speed with 45 000km.

I love my 03 GT. Its a street/strip car that runs low 12s/high 11s that still has A/C, full interior, etc that I drive 600+ miles one way to Myrtle Beach. Its a fun car to beat around in, take to car shows, and not have to worry about as much as the Charger. However, the Charger is still #1 in my book

Awesome.  It looks great!

Well I got the opportunity to buy a 2005 Mustang GT after I hit a moose with my Accord.  I like that car.  Now I'm just wondering what I was thinking when I decided I'd drive it everyday.  It may actually be too nice to drive in the winter, but my Accord stayed in awesome shape..........
