    What Do You Think Of This Car?

    http://memphis.craigslist.org/cto/4444587835.html I have just been randomly looking at mustangs on CL and came across this ad. I know next to nothing about what to look for on the classic mustangs. How does this look to you guys?

    What Do You Think Of This Lx?

    I seem to be having trouble (at leats locally) finding a stockish car under $5500 which is why I wanted to check this one out. He says it has functional heat/air. When I have asked other people about the A/C on cars they have for sale they say "oh yeah it just needs a charge" which translates to...

    What Do You Think Of This Lx?

    Been getting the itch for another mustang lately, I go back and forth on getting a newer body style but I always come back to looking at fox bodies. Came across this ad and liked the looks of it. I e-mailed the guy and he supposed to be sending me some underhood pics. Opinions...

    92 Fox Project

    Depending on the mileage I would say timing chain, water pump and if the motor is out anyway maybe a new oil pump with a hardened shaft.

    Help! First Foxbody, Having Mystery Oil Leak

    Pulling codes would be a good idea just to see where you stand, as far as idle problems, they are common with the 5.0. The first place to start is the free stuff like cleaning the IAC valve ( cylindrical thing on the side of the throttle body) it has a plunger inside that can get gunked up and...

    Hard To Find 4 Bangers

    I guess I have been incredibly lucky when it comes to ford automatics. I had my AOD '87 GT for about 10 years with no problem and the '93 4 banger I owned was an A4LD, I bought that car for 400 bucks with a bad ignition module and drove it for 4 years, it had been really neglected too. The...

    Hard To Find 4 Bangers

    Seems like 5 years ago there were a large supply of decent condition 87-93 fox 2.3 cars out there for a grand or less. I have been looking for one for a DD but haven't turned anything local up in a while. I guess they are all being lost to 5.0 conversions and turned in to mini stock race cars.

    Fox Body As A First Car?

    I learned a lot about cars from the fox bodies I have had. I don't think anyone here wants to discourage you from getting one, just trying to make sure you know what you are getting into. No one would be on here if they didn't love fox bodies. I remember a few nights being outside (no garage...

    New Guy Looking For A 5.0 Fox To Be My Dd In The Near Future

    I drove one daily for about 10 years, it only ever stranded me once and that was a bad TFI module. I did A LOT of preventative maintenance however. I am really wanting another fox but not sure if I would daily one again. Most I have seen in the 3500 range would not be DD candidates to me, more...

    Polyurethane Engine Mounts?

    I used energy suspension motor/trans mount on my '87 and loved them. Seemed like a much better design than the factory hardtop mounts I removed.

    Engine Bad Ignition Module?

    I never had anything but bad luck with "high performance" ignition parts on my old GT , but it was mostly stock. I ended up swapping my stuff back to OEM spec replacements and had much better luck with them.

    Thoughts On This Lx

    I am going to take my time and weigh my options. I posted in the tech section about a 4 banger to 5.0 swapped coupe I have also been looking at. Not near as clean but less cash and could put the extra into cleaning up the interior ect. Lots to consider, all I know is I need another fox in...

    Thoughts On This Lx

    Out of all the foxes I've had the one I owned the longest was an AOD. Never had an issue with the trans but I am afraid I wouldn't get lucky again. I would probably have every common AOD problem under the sun.

    Thoughts On This Lx

    All the clean ones that I find seem to be AOD.

    Older Members?

    Yeah but it is one bad ass damn car. I still remember the build threads, about the cleanest under carriage I have ever seen on a street car.
