    Default Fox - Body guide book

    Does anybody have any thoughts or feedback on the "Fox - Body recognition guide book 1979-1993" just wondering if it is worth the money the prices are all over the place. They are less than $50. to more than $200 on e-bay. It was printed in 2003 so I wonder how accurate it is considering all the more current info now available.

    I have the book. Looks good on the book shelf with the other Mustang stuff! If I need "real" numbers, I ask FoxChassis

    You should publish your own guide. Your vast collection of data needs to be preserved.

    I second that! It could even be a group effort of the FEP forum...

    It’s nice for the pictures but details are often hard to see. The pictured cars are not all unaltered cars. Remember it was written when the fox body was 20 years old. Hard to find new cars then.

    I have a signed copy which should make worth more but still had the same inaccuracies.
