ive always thought of how amazing it would be to go into a dealer in 1989 (best year fox) and get a black on black gt hatch in 5 speed. loaded except for sunroof. then the entire car has only had you as a driver. ever.
its funny, i have this little book about stangs and has all year stangs going back to the 60's and there prices at the time. A 1990 gt 5.0 brand new was listed at 15 grand brand new and an lx 5.0 was 11 grand. WHo woulda thought. My brother had a 1990 gt back in 92 which he let me use every now and then. I was only 16 at that time and didnt know prices nor could i afford one. Even though i have a mint black on black lx 5.0 with 65k original miles, i wish i could still go buy a brand new one for 11 k. Hell Id buy a new lx and a new gt. MY stupid cobra i had cost more than the both of them, yet id still rather have the old school fox.

Shortthrow didn't say the fox was better than a cobra, just that he likes the 5.0 more. Possable to like a car that isn't the fastest one ever produced? Boy I hope so, thats what most of us have. I'm in complete lust with an 03 Sonic Cobra near me, but I'd rather have the LX in my garage.

yeah, thats pretty much what i meant. I sold my 03 cobra in novenmber and picked up my fox a week after. I just didnt appreciate the cobra like i do my fox. I wanted something that I could build myself and appreciate. Yes, as the years go on I do beleive they become worth more and more . Most of the foxes have been drag raced and scrapped. So take care of your 5.0 . Eevn if my fox was worth 30 grand in 10-15 years. I will still never get rid of it dude. I will just ad more mustangs to my collection. They are fun cars to drive. Thats what makes it so great. One more thing. I have to say it but even though the cobra was fast in the top speed category, it felt like a heavy ass pig on acceleration.
No, these old cars can and will nickle and dime you half to death. In a couple years, the early SN95's will start to do the same thing. Just an age thing, machines wear out, all that. Preventative repairs have helped mine stay away from a tow truck, like now, running through a motor that probably didn't need it, changing every sensor while I'm there. Just kinda hoping to stay ahead. The old musclecar guys never had to do the things we have to, they didn't have this damn electronic stuff to worry about, and that seems to be the primary source of larceny the 5.0 kills us with.
so cause of the light weight 2 valves ect less smog perhaps other things the foxes feel quicker off the line??????
my dads notch only has 28k on it, I have a friend with a 87 gt with 35k on it, its really nice to see a mint one, its like steppin back in time!!
Thats exactly what im saying, but others will disagree for there own personal reasons. in my fox, the torque is always there
My 88 no option notch has 13k on it.:SNSign:
