Dammerung Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I’m looking at a foxbody mustang for my old man, because he’s been looking to get a sports car again after owning pickups for so long. Is there anything particular to look out for on these cars? Anyone have experience with them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 here's a decent starting point. I'd wager there are youtube vids out there too. https://www.americanmuscle.com/buying-a-foxbody-mustang.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Look for cracks in the sheet metal under rear seat where the control arms are attached(torque box area) The fox platform was used until 2004,i have a 97,and love it. 94-04 are much improved chassis wise,disc brakes all around,and 5 lug wheels(better selection in the aftermarket). Aftermarket support is great for these years also. The 79-93 are going for premium $ these days,and the later years are still affordable now. Full disclosure, i still want a 86 model myself!

Car Enthusiast Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 That's not a fox body, that's a sn95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbody owners use sn95 components as upgrades on their cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
