that car would be perfect without the suicide doors they only belong on older cars.

I still think an 85-86 gt with t-tops is about the sexiest fox mustang ford ever built. It just screams tough.


I'm still gonna put an 85-86 nose on my 88 one day

You know what's funny? I bought mine when I was 17, but at the time what I really wanted was an aero GT. Now (8 years later) I love 4 eyes, and if I was to buy another Fox, it would be a 4 eye coupe. Funny how tastes change.

After restoring this 82 GT we got at the shop, I REALLY want an 82 GT. Such a bad ass car.

Even though I own an areo I totally agree with this statement.

The first car (86 hatch i think) is one of the sexiest cars i have ever seen! to hack a four eye is just a crime! i agree to convert back can be a nightmare and most times not worth the trouble... but they are fine looking cars.

In addition to my red 86 GT i also have a grey primer 86 GT(no title,runs good) and a 93 LX hatchback. I have been seriously thinking about using the primer 86 GT to convert the 93 LX to a four eye.I love the 4I looks. Including the cars i have now i have owned 4 86 GTs, a 82 Capri "Black Magic" and 85 Capri RS.

If the primered car runs good, why tear it apart? Just give it a paint job and enjoy. The whole purpose of this thread is to encourage people NOT to tear apart 4-eye cars.

Now it would not make much sense to invest thousands of dollars in a nice paint job on a car i can't put on the road. Go back and read my post,it says NO TITLE right before it says runs good. I have no way of getting the title for it,besides its ate up with rust.
