So I finally decided to buy my first Fox so why does it look like a Cobra lol

[Ford Moore]

So after many years of working on helping with and driving other people's Foxbodies, I'm finally getting one! Strangely enough trying to help my brother find one somehow paid off again! Unfortunately it was a little light in the Maximum Motorsports department to qualify as one of his dream Fox's.

I've always been partial to the hatchbacks. No red ever inside or out. I had decided the Fox I would get must be a hatch with non red preferably black interior and a Coyote swap preferably turbo as well.

Then my brother says something about if I ever find a FULL!!!!! Maximum Motorsports kit im buying it. I came across this one and figured it was close enough and minty fresh everything! After he passed it was game over. The more I looked at it and thought about it the more I needed to save it from some horrible star light headliner cambered and slammed nightmare !

Anyway I'm going to go try and figure out how the picture posting works.

That’s a damn fine example of a fox

Very clean car. lots of new and nice upgrades. Can i ask what you paid?

Between all the pics I feel like this is a guess the year game... Going to say 90-91 because of the map light even though I see 92-93 seats.... Looks nice, someone spent some time on that.

Did I miss a pic of the entire car?

 

[Ford Moore]

I think this is the picture I lost my on in the ad. I thought the hood clear was trashed and on closer inspection realized it was a damn mirror and those were clouds LMAO. I didn't stop looking at it for like 10 hours.
I'll get more pictures once I pick it up this weekend.

price

normally I would just tell you. But I'd hate to be selling it one day for a few million dollars and some butt nut find this post. I'll probably tell after I get in my possession. I will say it wasn't like 35k or something stupid and I consider it an excellent buy.

it was listed as a 1989 fyi.

 

[rednotch]

So much of the interior is 90 up from the pics , must have been a roller or swap car if its an 89.

 

[Ford Moore]

Correct it was a old lady single owner 4cyl car stripped to the max. Then built ground up the right way. All OEM V8 wiring. All new brake lines. Maybe 50k and thousands of hours in it. It's just unreal how perfect it is.

 

[Ford Moore]

For a little contrast here's my son's. It's currently at my buddy's shop getting a sn92 Paxton kit removed. A fender a bumper and 5 lug swap with hopefully 03-04 Cobra brakes or equivalent.

It's got a T56 in it and super clean grey interior. Sat around 10 years in grass though. Exhaust is rusted out rear end is rusty. But I believe the body is good. No rust top side.

Found a few more

[Ford Moore]

7500 new fuel tank pump filter. Traded the supercharger for the fender bumper supercharger delete return to stockish and 5 lug swap. It came with extra parts as well and traded some of them towards the 5 lug swap.

Only issue we found was the ignition coil was arcing from the body to ground.

I wonder if I should separate the 2 cars in different BS threads

Here's some under carriage pics of my son's. It's running awesome. Just picked it up from the 5 lug swap and some fender bumper swapping.

 

[Ford Moore]

Found some paperwork in the car. I believe it sat more like 20 years. Last insurance card is 2001. Old registration is dated 1997 with 21k the interior and dash definitely look like 70k.

Real nice foxbody @Ford Moore; great color . It is a mix of interior parts, like @rednotch says but that's cool. My '89 has a map light and the 25 year badge (I think I see it in the pic) but I've seen the badge on 1990 cars as well. I'm guessing it was on April 1989 to April 1990 cars. You've got a locking gas cap and an armrest and they weren't on 1990 cars. The seats are newer than '89 (high headrests that year) and your map pockets are 1990 and up. I didn't see a pic of the steering wheel; '89 is the last year before airbags.

fun331 ... my car was built late July 1990 and it has the 25 years badge as well. I believe that badge went on all mustangs built April 1989 to end of 1990 production.

Picked up the mint Reef Blue car in Canada and got it home tonight! Needs gears baaaaaddddd! Not a lot I plan on doing. X pipe rims and tires new AC 3.73s see what's up with the fuel gauge. Better CAI have the runs wet sanded then polish and ceramic coat it probably ppf in the most important spots. Some kind of sound setup. Oh and the battery box needs to be installed. It also has some seriously beefy welding cable for the battery relocation to the trunk. Well I've got a couple days off so we will see how much I can get done!
