Am I the only one that thinks the foxbody kind of looked like

Thats because they are cheap econoboxes. Have you ever driven one? Chassis/body is pretty meh-tier construction wise. They just Have a huge aftermarket and dat 5.0l

The late 80s and early 90s had a lot of really generic looking coupes and sedans. You usually either like them or hate them.

That was the point. They were trying to make it an econocar. With a 4 banger, turbo 4 banger as options. It was designed not to gave legendary mustang looks on purpose. Luckily there was not as many cucks back then, so customers still bought the V8 and police started buying V8s as an Interceptor since Camaros were so unreliable. The high sales convinced Ford not to turn it into a FWD shitbox like everyone else did to their good cars.

Taste in car design is subjective, Anon. You know this.

notchbody best body

>>17765367
It's an original design. Unlike it's successors which now only cater to boomers.

Anon, the mustang has always been a coupe in the style of ford' s design language at the time. The boomers have brainwashed you into thinking a car's styling can't evolve with time.

>>17765367
Had an 86. I love the 4 eyes mainly but beautiful isn't really a word associated with foxbodies. They're desirable because they used to be cheap, rwd and v8. As well as both the chassis and the engine have tons of aftermarket support.

>>17765070
Ford was in the shitter and this car saved it. It was built off of a cheap econobox platform. Its honestly more mustang than any other mustang made and of course the best looking.

Why do American cars from the 80s look so particularly dated? Did they seriously run cars from the fucking 70s still? Was this when domestic automakers were thoroughly convinced they were on their way out, so they had to cut corners everywhere?

>>17765631
Blame emission regulations and unions.

>>17765637
I don't see how emissions played a role to make a car from the 70s last until the mid 90s virtually unchaged. In fact the 90s ones are even worse with their 90's shitbox headlights mounted on a square body with plastic "vents". All the foxbody needed was woodgrain and it really would've looked dated.

>>17765703
And the single wide?

>>17765720
Cars began getting smaller and rounder in the late 80s. Change with large companies is almost always gradual. The oil crisis of the 70s and early 80s helped create a lot of gutless shit-barges. Unions lost corporations huge profits, thus leading them to cut many corners during the malaise era.

why does this generation get triggered so easily

Foxbodies are ugly as hell only other Mustang that comes close in ugliness is the 71-73

>>17765070

I always figured that was the reason they were so popular. In part because it's an extremely affordable Mustang (affordable because people who can actually afford what they want won't buy a Foxbody) but also because it could be made fast for cheap and still look sleeper-ish (I mean, let's face it, this car in black or white with a legal exhaust system will NOT attract any attention from the cops)

Either that or it's just a bunch of delusional Ford fanboys who convinced themselves it actually looks good

The Caprice was a B-body though.

It is totes uggo

its funny because the Probe kicked the Mustangs ass around tracks and was a much better car

That's exactly how I have always felt about that Mustang II design.
Stylistically it's nice, but maybe the proportions are off. Close to being cool, yet doesn't quite make it, which leaves it... uncool.

>>17766192
Because rwd V8 is more reliable and has more potential for performance in the long run.

>>17766229
Iv'e probably argued fox vs turd gen a fucking hundred times with you. The just of it is that they're basically equal once you get into aftermarket but the fox aftermarket is larger and cheaper.

>lower trim models and not performance oriented ones tho

alot and not alot my grandmother had a 83 GT way back when. she said it was uncommon to see a mustang without a v8 because the option was so damn cheap

Wheel/tire combo is too small. Just changing that makes a world of difference. Stance is usually wrong. They look like they're dragging ass everywhere and that always looks old and busted. And finally the front axle to cowl distance is too short. One guy stretched one a bit there and it transformed the car.

I wanna say it's the front end. It can't seem to decide if it wants to be a boxy muscle, or a curvy town front end, so it ends up looking off.

Mercury Capri. Different front and rear fascia, different fenders, available with bubbleback rear glass. Don't respond to prezo' s posts though, he is one of the biggest shitters on this board.

>>17767691
Different hood and sail panels too. Pretty much only the doors (and hatches pre-83) swap.The rear suspension also came with super secret axle dampers that mustangs don't have and significantly reduce "hop" at launch giving capris a big advantage factory vs factory but don't tell anybody.
