That is a sweet Fox Mustang!  Worth every penny the guy paid for it,
IMO.  It has an MM suspension and the Cobra IRS rear end.  i ssume it
has the Cobra T-56 too.  Very nice.  The icing on the cake it that it's
a coupe too.

Here in Tucson, lots of Fox bodies are showing up at the drags. Full chassis
cars, with all the good stuff. Wonder if the NHRA "aged" them out of their
class? (Like they did the small trucks. That was a shame.)

Around here it is rare to see a Fox Mustang on the street anymore.  I
guess I'm just getting old, as are the Fox cars.

I didn't like the look of this car. It took me a while to figure it out, but
it looked odd to me. Because it's a notchback.

I never see them on the street. I mean, I know it's been said the the Foxes
are getting a bit more rare every day, but I never saw a good number of
notchbacks from day one.

I really wanted one, too, back in '93. Couldn't find one on any dealer lot
at the time (this was August-September, and very few leftover '93s were
available, period). But now, when I look back at the notch, it just seems
alien to me. Like something's missing...

A hatch, perhaps.

I briefly owned a 5-speed '92 5.0L LX Sport coupe several years ago.  It
was definitely more solid than the hatchback.  Overall, I really liked
it.  It also weighed less.  In some ways I wish I had kept it and sold
the hatchback.  I think the coupes just looked like a car that had no
right to have an a.s kicking V-8 in them.  They also remind me of the
Mustang II.

Clean 5.0s are impossible to find.  I just sold one and yes, I do regret it.
But what the hay... This is an interesting car, but I wouldn't want it...
the charm of the 5.0 is the quirks, the rough around the edges, or as I
remember one magazine saying in 1987, "a car for someone who believes
sophistication is for sissies..."

I've always said the Fox Mustangs were the last muscle car in the spirit
of the 1960s cars.  Not real refined but a lot of fun to drive.

I too sold my '88 5.0 LX and immediately regretted it. The guy I sold it to
still has it.

I visit every once in a while.  ;-)
