my new playtoy

Ive always wanted a Fox convertible 5 speed and I just scored this. 20k mile completely original right down to the air injection system, exhaust and even original spark plug wires. The rare factory eq/amp and 3.08 gears are just icing on the cake. cant wait to get her detailed at the shop as soon as the weather breaks

Graduating high school in 1991, this was my dream Mustang! I was a lot boy at Rice & Holdup (as my grandfather called it) and watched guys trade in their 85/86 Four Eyed Foxes for the new 87+ style. A buddy bought a 1991 brand new and while I drove my 66 Coupe to school with stop signs riveted into the rotted pans for make-shift floors, we would all gaze in awe at his gorgeous GT.

Good score, Frank! Where’d you find it?

Cheers

Very nice! I bought a 1992 LX 5.0 5 speed hatch new. Lots of fun. Enjoy!

I bought a brand new 89 5.0 LX Notch stripper, bought it home, and within a few hrs: New mass air, pulley kit and headers was street racing it that night. The street racing was great back then, had IROCs, GNs, 5.0's, not fast cars but well matched at the stoplight. Wish I still had it

Nice score, I bought a 1988 white GT convert in 1990, same interior with every option. Was a fun car but going from my '69 Nova SS396, or my '76 Vw Bug and '76 C10. The interior of those were tight with the leather seats and I'm not overly big, 5' 10" 230.

I ended up BREAKING 11 T5 trans, 1 factory engine and a couple modified engine. Best stock I got out of it was 14.53 in the 1/4. Then with long tube headers, McCreary dirt stars and with nitrous was 11.70. Never used nitrous with the modified motors and went 11.30 best.

WAs a fun cat with a big stereo.......

Agreed! That was my brother and I’s era. If you had a 12 sec car, you were king chit back then.

It's no secret I love these cars.

Great colors and condition. Is it an 87 or 88?

I'm always surprised how fast these feel, even in the current era. 3.08 gear makes a big difference.

That car is a time capsule. Back in the day most of them were rode hard and put up wet. Always nice to see an 80's muscle car that was babied.
