When a Mustang was a Fox
Mustangs have been around for 50 years, and have gone through many changes in that time. For a lot of those years, 1979 to 1992, they were built on the "fox" chassis. That generation of cars are known as the "Fox body" Mustangs. Those are the favorite years for a certain segment of Mustang enthusiasts. The last six years of the fox body Mustangs are when true high performance was brought back for the first time in many years. Check out my book; "Grab Some Gears - 40 Years of Street Racing" specifically chapter 5 "The Automotive Dark Ages", for more on that story. The book is available, and you can read sample pages at amazon.com , and it's available as a Kindle book. I owned several fox body Mustangs through those years, and they were an important part of my automotive history. Particularly my black 1987 5.0 LX hatchback. It got the most drag racing and street racing time of any car I ever owned. (see chapters 7 and 8 of my book for more on that story). The "fox body" years will be remembered as a very important part of the Ford Mustang's 50 year history. Here is a link to my book; "Grab Some Gears"
