so 89-92 gt for around 2k-2.5k?
stuff i found recently just quick searching
1989 Mustang 5.0 GT
Pass - A/C delete
1989 ford mustang gt
Pass - Look at the how the driver's side fender is caved in.
mustang 1990 lx <---900$$
Pass - Salvage title.
1991 ford mustang gt 5.0
I'd look at this one to verify how clean it is with the mileage.
1991 Mustang 5.0 LX Hatchback
Higher mileage then the previous one, but i'd check it out as well.
If I were looking to buy another fox it would be a 89, mass air+tilt steering+140 speedo = win.
There are other differences but those are the big ones that would pull me in that direction.
I was just at my builder and he was trying to find me a core for a regrind cause my cam was too nice (his words) he pulled 3 different cams off the shelf that all came out of foxes. 2 gt cams and one lx cam. The grinder confirmed there were 3 different profiles and in order for me to get the specs i wanted it had to be a gt cam.

god they look so damn sexy! (hatches)
i'm thinking about getting my hands on one, i read somewhere there is a difference in 87-93? something like mass air or fuel injected. i cant remember.
should i open my mind to a pre 90 gt? or stick to 90-93?
and i know you're probably getting annoyed considering this the 3rd thread i made. but i want to make sure i make the right choice.
There are many differences in the years of foxes. 79-86 are the ugly ones for starters.
I would save up a little more cash. Get a 4k car and have 1 or 2k set aside for mods and repaires
Let me give you the ultimate wisdom on this subject:
Buy one.
In the end, it really matters very little what one you go with, because they are all like tinker toys, all the parts are interchangeable, and it's not like you're going to leave it stock anyway.
Yes, the 93s had hypereutectic pistons. Whatever. I guess avoid getting a 93 if forged pistons will make you feel better. And really, anything pre-'86 starts to really be a pain in the ass, because the cars start to get a lot different from the "newer" ones. Even the '86 itself has got a lot of differences. But hell, let's say you find a cherry '82. I'd say jump on it. Like I said, it really doesn't matter in the end. You can modify it regardless.

Ninja nut kick!
*Kicks Guy in the nuts and a loud gong-like noise resonates.*
*Guy seems unfazed, because his balls stopped working years ago from similar ninja nut kicks.*
*Nik puts his beer down.*

Oh, one more thing.... if you like the hatch then feel free to love it. I have known SO many people who loved Hatches, then they start getting into these internet communities and get brainwashed by the notch/coupe crowd that coupe's are so special, then suddenly it's "coupe's man, coupes".
Get the car YOU want, tell everyone else to F off when they tell you what you should want.
Love my hatch. I don't think I can fit a bike into the back of a coup.
