My first Fox was a new 1980 Mustang 2.3 Turbo Hatch w/4speed manual and sunroof. First job out of college enabled me to get a loan for $6,500 in the fall of 79!

This was my first, a 1983 GT my dad bought me. The engine had caught fire so we brought it back to life. I swapped out the kit off a 90 and slapped it on. Mind you, this is circa 1993.

Circa 93 or not, that's a sweet car. Those were one of the best looking wheels american racing made back in the day

It just wasnt the same and sold it.

Possibly the best looking fox in this thread so far! Those wheels aren't crap by todays big diameter small spoke fame....but damn they give it a killer old school look!!

That's one hell of a car to drive at 16.



This is my first car, got it when I was 16 also, still sitting in the garage today 5 years later, just not running.

Man you guys with the fox for your first car...no offense but i hate you

My first car, well i had 3 cars that i owned but never got to drive because i didn't have my license until i was almost 19...so my first car that i actually got road time in was an '87 Cavalier Z24, which to be honest was a pretty damn cool car and it had some balls for a little 4 banger. I didn't get my first stang until i was 22.

1987 four banger I swapped to a V-8 and painted it black when I was 15. Sold for college tuition and wish I had never got rid of it.

Mine was this 1990 LX, I bought it in 1996 at a state auction, was a AZ DPS car. I paid $2400 for it. I wish I could find the picture of it the day I brought it home, but I don't even think I had a digital camera back then lol. This pic of course is after I took off the push bar and spot light. I drove it for 4 years and then sold it for $3700.
