Interest Surges in Last Fox-Body Ford Mustangs
After months of consistency, there were some significant changes in the “most-searched” lists on the ClassicCars.com Marketplace in February.
Among those searching by year, make and model, the 1987-1993 Ford Mustang surged from well down the list to a stunning 7th place.
Fox-bodied Mustangs have become increasing popular with younger collectors who remember them fondly from their high school days.
Ford opted for fuel injection for Mustang engines in 1986 and the Mustang, which introduced the Fox body in 1979, was facelifted for 1987. The exterior design featured an “aero-nose” front end, and a full-body aero kit for the GT. The interiors also were updated.
The favored 5.0-liter V8 engine had its output bumped up to 225 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
While the Mustang remained pretty much the same through ’93, the last year for the Fox body, it also was in ’93 that Ford’s Special Vehicle Team (SVT) capped off the platform by unleashing the Mustang Cobra and Cobra R.
