sorry guys, but, i have to agree w/ empty. he hit it on the $$. definitely a '92 deep emerald green with the titanium ground effects. yup yup. its the best lookin 'Stang on the street. u all just mad cuz u aint got one. and plus, im the only one like that where i live. so im DEFINITELY keeping mine. no crazy paint scheme, just a repaint. and my wheels as soon as i get them on. my friends holding them for me. put some Eibach springs on it, and shell definitely have the look. then a hood and after that all under the hood. yup

69' mach 1, nuff said for performance, but for realibility 90' 5.0 would be cool

mmm.....'69 Mach 1. nice car. better yet, a '69 Boss 429 or a '70 Boss 302. or many more, but, too many to list. haha

87-93 fox body, they have more bolt ons than the newer mustangs

and about the newer mustang having the most STOCK hp- if u put the money you save on buying a fox body mustang into it, you would kick the crap out of the 99+.

I go with the 01 GT or newer but a 94-98 are not bad, maybe not as fast but they can look the best. lower with some 19' wheels

I agree 87 - 95 anything with a 5.0 engine in it is the best i thik to have easy to work on etc :-)

I just got done buying my Mustang as well, so I'm familiar with the whole, "which year to buy" scenario. I think it comes down to what you want to spend. I myself like the current body styles overall, but I ended up buying a '96, with an obviously different body style. I did this for two reasons- it was a GT with a 5 spd, and I was able to pay it in cash. If I had chosen a GT 5 spd in a NEWER Mustang, I would be financing it with a bank, and have practically NO money for mods, or anything. So naturally, you are going to save money when going with an older Mustang, most times. You could buy a mid-90's Cobra for the price of a used 6-cyl '01 Mustang, and again, it comes down to spending. Hope this helps a little...GOOD LUCK!

I own a 87 conv, got it cheap.

I'd suggest, if you indeed go with the fox body and want to run the stock engine/efi
go with a 88 california edition with MAF or 89 and newer foxes with the MAF.

My co-worker says that the MAF will sense the extra airflow from headers, intake,
cam, heads and adjust the fuel. Speed desity efi (86-88 non california)cannot sense the change in airflow bec it only measures manifold air pressure, not flow.

Though there are most likely ways to mod up a speed density motor as well.
Anyone have a thought....i've got that speed density and dont want to pay for
a MAF conversion kit....

Finally, a cool option is the T-top. They made these throughout most of the 80's.
The new aero 87+ style are harder to find with a T top, but you could go 83-86
and put the aero bumpers on front and back...they bolt on....

only do that if you're going to put a crate motor and aftermarket driveline. The stock
rear is a 7.5 in which is supposively weaker than the later 87+ 8.8 inch rear.

and the 86 engine has poor performace heads.....

ok, good luck
