looking into getting this, 90's fox body

[88chevyshort]

at the time i don't know much about it other than what i have seen by mere glance. il be working on getting specific info asap as well as more pictures. i don't know much of anything about it cause a friend of my second cousins whos storing it at his place while the guy builds a big pole shed an hes wanting around 2500 for it. what i do know is it has the 5.0 and an auto trans and i believe newer dual exhaust and newer bf Goodrich radials in the rear. will get info asap. just want opinions and need to know info about the fox body sport lx, it must be around 1990 in year.

nice looking mustang, i think 87-88 tho

they're fun cars tons of stuff available//if its got a 5liter i dont think original i'm pretty sure they came with 5lugs so the rear and suspension might b for 4cyl car

[screamin_c10]

The 5 liters came with 4 lugs just like the 4cyl but with a beefier 8.8 rearend, bigger brakes while some of the GTs had rear disk as well.. 5 lugs diddn't become standard until the SN95 body in '94. It is a very commom swap to install SN95 s lug front hubs and axles into the Fox body though.

From the look of the rims and I would say 87-90 Hard to tell otherwise without under hood pics.

If it is pre 89 then it will be a speed density car. The speed density setup is not very tuneable and does not acept mods well. It is very easy to upgrade to mass air though. You would simply need a new Mass Air (AL9) ECU, the Mass air meter, a conversion pigtail, and the mass air ducting, or cold air kit... all readily available on ebay, or in your favorite wrecking yard. make the conversion and then the skys the limit for mods such as bigger injectors, larger throttle bodies, headers, cams, heads, etc... the Mass Air will adjust for these as the speed density will not.

Any way, yeah they are fun, I own a couple and have done this as well... If you do get it and want to do the Mass air swap the internet is loaded with info...I could help you out with links and schematics as well.

thanks on all the info. i actually didn't know any of the fox bodys became a stock 5lug. and good to know about the whole intake control issues, if i get it i will definitely have to swap that out. hopefully i can look at it more 2maro and ill probably post more pics too if i can.

had a 88 gt 5 speed when I was a young man fast and fun car, lucky I lived through it. I don't remember the lx model coming with those rims but not sure on that ,thats the same rims mine had and they were a bear to clean.

[1LoC10]

Those are 87-90 GT wheels, so you cant go by that.... but from just that pic all you can say is its a 87-93...either way those are fun little cars, id get it

[88chevyshort]

im prtty positive ther not gt specific wheels cause i have saw the same car im lookn at getting driving around a few times. same model, color, and rims. ill post some pics. just looked at it yesterday.

[88chevyshort]

paint is faded here and 2other spots.

[88chevyshort]

this is welded to the frame, unibody frame strengthener.

[88chevyshort]

well this thread is useless now. the guy decided flat out that he doesn't want to sell it anymore and is gonna keep it. I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PISSED. 1st i find out i gta remove my intake on my truck just to fix the stupid leak and god knows how many bolts will break off in that process then this. my whole day has been filled with stress and aggravation oh joy

[red69ss]

I see them on craigslist in that price range all the time here ,so if you still want one it shouldn't be hard to find.

It was an 89 or older..90 and up had big square steering wheel center. Great cars, and easy to find just watch for rust. I have bought a few cheap from Las Vegas where they seem to be everywhere. Keep looking, there is no shortage of mustangs, especially if you like the hatchback style..coupes are much harder to find and more expensive.
