    Pretty good article. The author obviously has a soft spot for Fox Body Mustangs. His perspective is mostly performance/ racing/ modifications, which I admit is fine, given that it is probably the most popular focus area for the cars. Like Rob noted, it would have been nice to have had some Four Eye love. Not much discussion of restoration and low-mileage cars; this article was written last fall, and I wonder what he might have said given the BJ results. He makes a big deal of "young" people showing an interest in the cars. I suppose that might be the case, as Fox Body cars exhibit core reasons why Mustangs have always been popular: inexpensive, and easily modified.

    I like any fox body article at this point, but this one seems riddled with opinion and misinformation. And it reads a little like it was written by a 16 yr old.

    Not a bad read. And for sure the Fox Mustang has become the 32 Ford of this generation.
