Just bought this 83 GLX 5.0 5spd from Facebook marketplace. I waited for my Marti report before posting. As you can see it is red. I could tell that it has been repainted, but I had no idea what the original color was. Also, they remove the door info tag so I had no idea what the car was originally other than a factory five speed V8 car. According to the Marti report it was originally white with a black stripe and opal interior and wire wheel covers. I can’t imagine they were painting racing stripes on these so was this black stripe just a pinstripe?

The black stripe was probably the side moulding colour, which I believe all.came with till 1991 or 1992. Then they were body coluor.

Not a vert but an original car with a black stripe.

That is a GT. I don’t know if my GLX came with that stripe or just a pinstripe on the fenders.

Yeah and if I had the Fox that I have [now] 30 years ago...

Lots of Foxes on this forum are [way] better than what they were from the factory.

Don't get me wrong... I got love for the purists too but [not] modifying a Fox would be agony.

I can’t leave anything unmodified but I already have my Lightning and my 16 GT so I’m leaving this fox body carbed.
