crown vic or grand marquis. Reliable, cheap, and if they're not fun enough, you can always bolt most any 2v mustang parts on them.

>>16730791
Not really basketball americans so much as rednecks and even that's because they've depreciated to the point rednecks can pay cash.

>jaguar engines
Other than the pre-2003 V8's timing chain tensioner guides in the heads the engines aren't really a problem, it's everything else. These things will quickly disappear from the roads because they're every bit as complicated as German sports sedans but without the value so any repair at all will total one out.

Not a recommended purchase unless you're a damn good wrench yourself and even then there's better things to spend your time on.

You can find a solid C5 corvette between 10k and 15k.

The SN95 IS a Fox you fucking retards.
Go be retarded somewhere else. All the money Ford should've spent developing a new Mustang chassis when into the Ford Probe (which was originally going to replace the Fox Mustang). WHen fans made it clear they wouldn't accept that, Ford restyled the Fox into the SN95 and kept the chassis mostly the same.

>>16730670
>Americans couldn't make good rubber 30 years ago

wtf

>>16733727
OP didn't say he was against buying a Mustang

>>16733727
That's real fuckin' neato and all, but literally nobody other than you (yes, you, it's the same fucker every time) gives a shit about that. Foxbody refers to, in common parlance and in the terms we're using, third generation Mustangs. Fourth gens are either SN95s or New Edge depending on if you're talking about pre or post facelift for ease of identification.

Do you also throw autistic temper tantrums when someone calls an American-spec Corolla GT-S an AE86?

>>16733727
You know damn well that people refer to the SN95 seperately from Fox bodies as a matter of convetion that refers more to the visuals of the generations and not the underlying platform...even in Mustang communities.

Don't be such a technical fagboy faggot.

You're such a fucking douche.

I think what he's on about is that the trim designation precedes the model name if read left to right. The different fonts don't help but it's not as if the name badge is factory anyway. Pic related

>>16733748
Try working on a Japanese or German 30 year old car and you get the same thing. Rubber doesn't last forever.

yeah nah, fuck that noise.

>>16733752
>>16733770
except you morons always say "don't get the SN95! This fox is better! Just look at the aftermarket!"
while completely ignoring that most aftermarket for the Fox bolts up to the SN95 cars as well which renders the initial argument pointless.
Now fuck off.

I like the third gen Fox hatchbacks looks too. I also like the SN95 looks. Both pre and post facelift. But saying the fox is better than the SN95 because of the chassis is dead wrong. It's a matter of looks, which is personal opinion.
Stop touting opinion as fact. This isn't a national meeting of Republicans.

>>16735110
Not a single person said anything about chassis stiffness or aftermarket or anything.

OP wanted cheap. Foxbodies are cheap. Cheaper than SN95s due to being older and more likely to have the shit beat out of them. So we said third gen.

Go fuck yourself with your pedantic bullshit and go back to whatever boomer-haven Ferd forum you came from.

>>16735119
>Foxbodies are cheap. Cheaper than SN95s due to being older
In most areas of the country, prices of Foxes are going up while SN95s are still going down. I don't know where you are, but around here, SN95s are cheaper than foxes.

>>16735136
Same with west/central FL

>>16735110
Yeah, except I never made any argument about the perceived aftermarket you autistic projecting faggot.

But by all means keep pretending that people, to include Mustang Enthusiasts, don't commonly refer to the 79-93 as the Foxbody, and the 94-04 as the SN95. Hold on though, before your bitch ass gets triggered again, yes I know the 99-04 were "new edge" SN95s, and that an entirely new Mustang platform came with the S197 in 2005.

Get a chevy/gmc squarebody truck nigga. Cheap as fuck to repair anything on them and parts are fucking everywhere. Very reliable too if you do things right.

>>16733771
Front lights look fine desu but yeah those rear altezza's (or however you spell it, been forever since I owned a fox) are a fucking trainwreck

Other than that the car looks pretty clean. Way cleaner than the 88 GT that I owned. Those cobra wheels were always my favorite.

If making an argument about Foxes being cheaper than SN95s, blow it out your ass.

It's almost like English is flexible and lets people refer to 87-93 Foxbodies as Foxbodies because there are words to describe SN95 and New Edge Mustangs, such as "SN95" and "New Edge"

You also forgot to put "better handling than Mustang" in the good parts.

Whats it take to get these in the 12s? Tires and bolt ons?

>>16739951
It's a suprisingly planted car, especially when compared to my friend's Foxbody

Interior quality is absolute shite, as switches have literally disintegrated in my hands.

>>16739953
It has a 305

The best performance mod would be swapping in a 350, but that's pretty easy considering all the mounts are the same

>>16739953
an engine swap. The 305s are shit at making power. You want a 350. Then upgraded heads, intake, and cam.
And the 10 bolt rear end is notoriously weak. You want a bolt in 12 bolt or a bolt-in 9" from Moser engineering.

>>16739961
>>16739962
Obviously I'd get a 350. Thinking of getting one in the spring

I have an 1985 3rd gen Camaro and we rebuilt the 350. The harness is cut to crap but it runs. I'm probably going to buy a totaled truck at the auction in Waco and swap an Ls into it. I would love to make it a manual so I might just find a 1992 3rd gen with all the manual parts. I dunno everything seems so pointless unless you save up a couple grand and go big. I guess that is why you see so many unfinished projects.

>>16739962
The 10 bolt isn't as bad as you would think, the biggest weak point is the stock 28 spline axles, swap them for some 30s. Other than that I've been running mine hard for a little over a year and it hasn't broken yet on a 350 with h/c/i and bigger rockers.
The Ford 8.8 is a cheaper alternative as well as most having abs disc brakes and some have 3.73/4.10 gears and posi

>>16727505
you can find the sn95 as a cobra. 7/10 better than the gt but not worth the Shelby tax if you can't get it for a deal.
