What if ..................

Rockin302 · Apr 25, 2006

I wonder how sales would be if Ford brought the Fox 5.0 back for one year. Have all the models LX(hatch/notch), GT, but no Cobra but only with the 302 V8. Would people buy them or would ford be making a mistake? Pricing would be similar to a base 2006 6cyl considering Ford would probably still be using the flimsy plastic parts etc.

GREYFOX4INCH · Apr 25, 2006

only because i already have one and a new one would just end up in the same condidtion in about 2 years so screw it

squeeeg · Apr 26, 2006

Our cars would never pass the safety or emissions standards of todays new cars. They would have to change a lot of stuff just to get it able to be sold. But yeah I would buy one just for the collectors value of it, which is also the reason that they would sell a lot of them.

id buy one in a heart beat, prob a notch

Now do you mean an ATTEMPTED redo like the t-bird's and belairs of the world, or the original molding kind of car? I'd buy one either way so, meh.

I would love to have a black on black notchback but only if ford would have a powertrain, wheel, and brake delete option. I'm not paying for stuff I would just replace anyways, I just want a brand new foxbody.

Brake Delete? You plan on drivng home on bare hubs and axles?

gcwh02 · Apr 26, 2006

I think it would be a great idea to keep the same fox body gt's and lx's and keep a 5.0. They should upgrade the braking system with the same kind they put on the newer 4.6's and probably a few other bugs. Also have better flowing numbers for the heads and intake and it would sell nice

I would prob sell the mach to get another one. I plan on owning the 5.0 longer than the mach anyway. I hate cars today. Too luxurious. You buy a sports car and it has cup holders, baby seat hooks, 6 disc cd player, traction control, power everything...I want a mean ride that is mechanical and not electrical. My fiance's dad is a mechanic for BMW and he hates working on cars now cause you need a damn computer to go with it. Bring the 5.0 back and there will be another one in my driveway!

90NotchBack · Apr 26, 2006

I would only buy one it they came with turbo 351W from the factory. Ok I think I would still buy one just because it was brand spankin new.

Rockin302 · Apr 26, 2006

Not a redo Convert but just an exact replica of the original fox but with more added safety items, better brakes, ABS, etc. and of course with an all aluminum 5.0L, now that would be sweet!!

hemi_fan · Apr 26, 2006

^^Yeah, I was gunna say... Id probably only consider buying it if it came with all those upgraded pieces plus a Cammer 5.0 instead of the old one. That would be sweet. Otherwise I'd just get an original since they'd be like 1/10th the price. lol

25thmustang · Apr 27, 2006

If it had all new compnents and just an old shell, its not going to sell for under $20K. If it was just a fox they brought back the same, it would be a $20K 1990 car. I wouldnt waste my money on it!

ill advised · Apr 27, 2006

Yeah, it would be cool but for that kind of money I'd be looking for a Terminator.

Rockin302 · Apr 27, 2006

When you look at the the site as a whole, the majority of people spend time in the 5.0 Forums vs the other forums so there still quite a few people out there that would still want a new fox but I understand that the new foxes( if ford were to do it) would probably be a bit pricey compared to the original 5.0's.

Maybe if they just brought back the notchback and lx hatchback with no GT's, maybe that would bring the price down a bit. Or a stripped down version with no power options, no radio, no A/C, no P/S etc...

I'm in!!! Go pitch the idea to ole Billy Ford! You could be rich!!!

Mustang5L5 · Apr 27, 2006

Unfortunately the one missing component here is that the last 5.0 engines rolled off the line back in 2000

25thmustang · Apr 27, 2006

I wouldnt waste that kind of money on a "new" car because the 5.0 is only a car Id buy to mod. If I bought a new car Id want it stock for a while, especially after a 20K hit. I own a fox because I cant afford anything newer. If I had the money Id have a Mach 1 right now.

pb_paulie_b · Apr 27, 2006

Make mine a notch with the 04' supercharged 4.6. Oh and Jag brakes and all black leather and, and, and.... Yeah I'd get one!
