Interesting and nice to get some fox body love, but they pretty much ignored the 79-81 models. I understand the less-than-impressive performance numbers of the years, but 1979 was a HUGE year for Ford, considering it was what basically saved the Mustang line and started a new revolution in performance and styling. The 79 Cobra and Pace Car should be of particular interest to Hagerty, as they are still providing some entry-level collectables for car enthusiasts, which will only go up in value over the next decade.

The 79 to 81's were the most attractive, but except for the 74-78's, the most under engined Mustangs ever. For many years it was looks and options that sold the early Foxes big time.

And since the Fox was 100% high volume mass produced, the dynamic, dimensional, gymnastic and track variance betwwen a good and bad 2-bbl, 4-bbl or EFI is HUGE. Any old undetailed, unprepared 1987 225 hp EFI could be even slower than a good 1982 HO or 4bbl.

" You never know what you're going to taste when you bite into a Fox body sandwich."

Yeah!

Nice!! I have thought for a long time that the Fox Mustang was the "Deuce" of the 80's.
