Thought: if the OG muscle car revival is dying off, and those cars are going to become less valuable as the nostalgia-buying public has moved on to the 90s, is it possible that they're going to bottom out and then subsequently arouse the interest of a second generation of retro-cool appreciation? Can something cycle in and out of vogue three times...?

I had a 92 LX 5.0 5spd, red with black interior. I miss that car, it was the first car I really dumped entirely too much time, money & effort into. Heads, intake, cam, injectors, MAF, aluminum driveshaft, 3.55s, eaton posi, 31 spline axles - 300rwhp and under 3,000lbs; it was an amazing car.

Growing up, my neighbor had a new ‘92 foxbody GT in white. Awesome car. Got a few rides in it. The torque was fun.

My parents owned a Tempo GL and I recognized many Mustang parts in the interior, especially the vents and controls.

1989 to 1993 I worked at a speed shop in Elmwood Park NJ. Everyday I worked on a Mustang or Camaro , Firebird. I don't miss those days the Mustang owners called my CRX a girls' car. Yet they payed me to work on their car's. A chip, Paxton, injectors, fuel pump, off road exhaust, 150 shot of nitrous, only to bounce it off the center barrier or stuff it under a school bus.

I still have a 96’ f150 with a 5.0 and the same steering wheel. Killing it.

This will mark the 12th time I’ve watched this beautiful car. I know it’s such a long shot but to be able to shift those gears… it would genuinely fulfill my heart.

The crossover I never knew I needed

I think that the nostalgia is what drives the value on these cars, the good looks are subjective. I've heard someone say that they look a lot like the Ford Escort from that era and now I can't unsee that.

Oh man I needed this. Am going through a tough one today and this got me laughing in the library

I have a few of the Lincoln Mark VII LSC's and they are my favourite Fox platform car!

It feels like an autocross build, cause those tend to also be daily driven, and there are a lot of modern Mustangs (at least where I run autocross) built in a very similar manner. This would fit right in

I saw Ian perform with Dave Attell here in Phoenix. Such a funny guy. I hope to see a show featuring Ian again.

As a watch this almost exactly 1 year after this video was posted, I have just purchased a clean, one owner ‘90 LX 5.0 5 Speed. I intend to mostly leave it alone. Maybe a shifter and gears, maybe not. I intend to do exactly as you said in this video - enjoy it for what it is.

It's not at all about what it IS, it's all about what it CAN be. These cars are among the most perfect build platforms you can ask for, they can do literally any kind of racing and have the biggest aftermarket out of any enthusiast car. You can put almost any drivetrain you can think of in it, it's light weight, the only problem is they're getting scarce and prices are increasing.

We used to love the red one we had. LX 5.0 and that bright red with original wheels

Had quite a few foxbodies in the early 2000's. Had vettes, currently have a Redeye. I want to sell it all and get another Fox. The size, square body, feels raw when driving... and the sound... amazing. I'll get another soon.

The 302/5.0L stuck around in the Mustang for two more years after they replaced the Fox body with the SN95 model, but those 94/95 models had a weird version of the intake manifold with a molded-in intake elbow to clear the strut tower. From '96 on up, Ford dropped the pushrods in favor of overhead cams in the 'Stang, and the 302/5.0L stuck around for a couple more years in the F-Series trucks and Explorers before those went to the 4.6L and 5.4L Modulars, too.

If I win this car, the first thing I will do is take the hood off and throw it in a dumpster.

I come here for the the beautiful poetry of his reviews

The whole Vanilla Ice "I'm not..." bit killed me.

I’m only 22 but I’ve always loved the fox. I scooped up an 87 hatchback that is rust free and only 54k on the body but has a couple weird aftermarket body kit pieces (was a project in the 2000’s looks like a hot wheels) and sits up because of the massive 9 inch rear end because it has a Ford 429. So I’m stuck with either dumping money into a project to keep it going or spend an equal amount to swap everything back to original. I knew all of this buying it but again it’s a clean fox with a full interior and it would be worth it even if it have to look at it for a little while longer.

The second i saw the thumbnail was the exact moment i already knew the intro - and i was absolutely not disappointed 🤣

My love for the fox body mustang is the size. The beautiful sound from the 5.0 V8 and rear wheel drive in such a small car makes it fun. I'm not looking for the fastest car on the road but the one that's most fun to drive.

Ahh, the melted plastic era of cars... I remember truly hating these as a kid, like they'd personally killed car design, but they've grown on me over time. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug!

Your intros are iconic

My idea foxbody was our 85 gt convertible with red interior and paint. It just drove nice and sounded great. An amazing car to just drive in

My favorite Foxbody is still the ASC McLaren version of the Mercury Capri. What a good looking car. Especially in silver with the orange accents.

the Foxbody REALLY needed the 351 windsor!

Really did a double take when I saw Ian on RCR. He was a regular at the coffee shop I used to own. Pretty cool dude with apparently good taste in cars.

Roman dropping the mic at the end 🔥🔥

My first car that I insured and drove was a 1988 notchback 5.0 5speed, black on black, bone stock, when I was 17. Am 34 now, Still have it, still bone stock, needs a freshen on brakes and the engine, but all in all, it's my baby, no amount of money could part me from it.

I met Ian while doing comedy in NY several years ago. He was one of hundreds to emerge in the comedy boomb of the late 2010's. If anybody had told me back then that he would be one of the most successful up and comers to emerge from that scene 5 or 6 years ago, I would never have believed them.

I love me little barbaric 1986 coupe, Notcho Libre. It's the diametric opposite of my 2014 GT. I just like it because it's a hilarious blast from my past.

I was kinda hoping he would go with "My Mustang is best Mustang because STREET OUTLAWS!" The reality show with the highest concentration of fox bodies in recent memory.

Love the foxbody, but I prefer the pre-aero, I.e. four eye generation. Had 3 four eyed models and one aero, all super fun.

Just random facts in case anyone was wondering. The fuel injected 302 aka 5.0 Windsor was in production from 1986 to 2001. Several differences between the mustang HO version and the truck version...mainly heads. But Mustang ran 5.0 HO thru 1995 model year in the sn95 body. Thru 1996 in the f150/bronco. And last but not least....thru 2001 in Ford Explorer/Mercury Mountaineer with the coveted gt40 heads.

I just got my mug. I can't wait to hopefully I win this thing so I go cruising with my dad and his 93. Good Luck all to those who entered and Merry Christmas.

Fun Fact: The 302 also exists in air compressors, I've got one It runs 4 cylinders and uses the other 4 to "make air" with a different head, it's hilarious and awesome and easy to fix hit also makes for some crazy hot air going to jackhammers

@@Consumedfever697 I'd think it would have a lot more output than that - various versions of the 302 were around 200 horsepower (in non-performance applications) so I'd expect the power cylinders of the air compressor to be around 100 hp. Though a lot of efficiency is lost, I can't imagine any air hammer or saw producing more than a few horsepower of total power.

Ford Falcons used the 5.0 Windsor until 2001, hand built motors by then though.

Why is my algorithm in love with this man.

When I was a kid, my dad had 93 fox body with the 5.0, in white like this, but with a white top convertible, and a red leather interior. Shit was 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

The foxbody to have is an LX 5.0 notchback. The lightest, cleanest, fastest body of them all. I'll never forget the car that Maximum Motorsports built back in the day: An LX with a 427 twin turbo that was tuned for daily driving manners, and a suspension that crushed Ferraris on a track. The best thing about the foxbody was that, for *extremely* cheap, it could be any car that you wanted it to be.

I miss my Fox. I’m old man bought it in ‘89. I did get nostalgic once and posted up my old dyno VHS vids on KZread lol. 505rwhp in mid 1990’s. Not bad! Sure was fun! ;)

It DOES have a cupholder. That space between the parking break and the seat. That's the Mustang cupholder.

Quick correction on the end of the push rod 5.0 in mustangs. It actually made it into the SN95 mustangs in 1994 and 1995. Anyways love the episode it was great.

I remember when fox bodies were $2500. There was a factory police interceptor package one in GOOD shape that was for sale on my local craigslist for over a year. It was only $5000. This was like 2013.
