[@MalikCarr]

Thought: if the OG muscle car revival is dying off, and those cars are going to become less valuable as the nostalgia-buying public has moved on to the 90s, is it possible that they're going to bottom out and then subsequently arouse the interest of a second generation of retro-cool appreciation? Can something cycle in and out of vogue three times...?

Fun Fact: The 302 also exists in air compressors, I've got one It runs 4 cylinders and uses the other 4 to "make air" with a different head, it's hilarious and awesome and easy to fix hit also makes for some crazy hot air going to jackhammers

[@quillmaurer6563]

Interesting - I knew about VW aircooled engines converted into air compressors, didn't know that was done with other engines too. I assume they used one bank of cylinders to run and the other to compress air?

[@quillmaurer6563]

@@Consumedfever697 I'd think it would have a lot more output than that - various versions of the 302 were around 200 horsepower (in non-performance applications) so I'd expect the power cylinders of the air compressor to be around 100 hp. Though a lot of efficiency is lost, I can't imagine any air hammer or saw producing more than a few horsepower of total power.

The foxbody to have is an LX 5.0 notchback. The lightest, cleanest, fastest body of them all. I'll never forget the car that Maximum Motorsports built back in the day: An LX with a 427 twin turbo that was tuned for daily driving manners, and a suspension that crushed Ferraris on a track. The best thing about the foxbody was that, for *extremely* cheap, it could be any car that you wanted it to be.

The 302/5.0L stuck around in the Mustang for two more years after they replaced the Fox body with the SN95 model, but those 94/95 models had a weird version of the intake manifold with a molded-in intake elbow to clear the strut tower. From '96 on up, Ford dropped the pushrods in favor of overhead cams in the 'Stang, and the 302/5.0L stuck around for a couple more years in the F-Series trucks and Explorers before those went to the 4.6L and 5.4L Modulars, too.

This was just affordable and weighed 3390 lbs with me and half a tank of fuel. Mine was a 90 GT with a 5 speed and hard top.

[@randomhero111391]

Just random facts in case anyone was wondering. The fuel injected 302 aka 5.0 Windsor was in production from 1986 to 2001. Several differences between the mustang HO version and the truck version...mainly heads. But Mustang ran 5.0 HO thru 1995 model year in the sn95 body. Thru 1996 in the f150/bronco. And last but not least....thru 2001 in Ford Explorer/Mercury Mountaineer with the coveted gt40 heads.

[@jordanhill4870]

I’m only 22 but I’ve always loved the fox. I scooped up an 87 hatchback that is rust free and only 54k on the body but has a couple weird aftermarket body kit pieces (was a project in the 2000’s looks like a hot wheels) and sits up because of the massive 9 inch rear end because it has a Ford 429. So I’m stuck with either dumping money into a project to keep it going or spend an equal amount to swap everything back to original. I knew all of this buying it but again it’s a clean fox with a full interior and it would be worth it even if it have to look at it for a little while longer.

Respectfully, Mr. Regular, there are many things that are extraordinary about Ford small blocks! The fact that the Windsor was one of the longest running production engines in history for starters. Their valve specs are actually quite favourable, too. Hope I win this car!

[@dragon81heart]

If you want to feel “FAWNSEY” keep in mind that same exact steering wheel was used in many Aston Martins in the late 80s and much of the 90s. Seriously it was Aston just stuck an Aston Martin badge directly over the Ford oval so you couldn’t see the “Ford” lettering. Aston even had to make the badge in the same exact Ford oval shape (which one day I’m sure those bespoke Ford shaped Aston badges will be worth something lol) Was a good steering wheel, just was on so many things at the time (Oh I have to be “THAT GUY” for a moment. The Ford Windstar actually never had this steering wheel. It surprisingly got its very own style steering wheel that, at least to my knowledge, was never used in anything else. I think you meant to say Ford Aerostar as it did indeed used this boxy steering wheel when it started using a drivers side airbag. Anyways, just wanted to point that out lol)

[@bbishoppcm]

Ah, the fox body Mustang... The year is 1998 - the sound of Led Zeppelin blasting from a KRACO cassette deck, the strong scent of Marlboro Reds wafting through the air... a long deceased air freshener featuring a cartoon pinup girl swinging in the breeze from a cracked rearview mirror... the lopey song of a Cologne V6 engine misfiring and wheezing its dying breath as it coughs through an Autozone cherry bomb glasspack. A set of American Racing rims, lightly corroded from years of exposure to New Hampshire salted roads. The owner, a boomer - past his prime - shouts out the back window of his 1970s mobile home "SHUT THE F*** UP!!!," a command which the ever barking dog, chained to a concrete block surrounded by a heavily worn mud path proceeds to ignore. The idling fox body Mustang sits, idling, choking, wheezing atop a gravel driveway adorned with a sample of every type of fluid once contained within her - as if she proudly proclaims "Y'all, dis is MAH fuggin' driveway, y'all!" - as if Mustangs could speak. A moment passes, the Mustang's proud owner emerges from the broken screen door of his rented 1970s mobile home with a set of keys bearing a red "lucky rabbit foot," a Blockbuster keychain, and a well-worn key bearing the words "Family of Fine Cars" in nearly worn smooth raised lettering. The owner, a man in his mid 40s, belches, his bare shirtless stomach stained with pizza sauce from last night's dinner, tugs on the Mustang's door handle - the creak and groan of the hinges nearly drowns out the V6 engine - he slides in, closes the door - it failed to latch, so he SLAMS the door shut and belches once more. Screwed to the floor with rusty sheetmetal screws is an Autozone center console containing two empty Budweiser cans, and the section once reserved for cassette tapes has become his ersatz ash tray, overflowing with the remnants of once enjoyed cylinders of nicotine, tar, and temporary happiness. The brake light glows (only the left one, I swear officer, I'll get them fixed once I get my next paycheck on Friday). The owner grasps the column shifter and slides it into "R" (but has to jiggle it a few times, she's an old girl), the one working reverse light glows - and the rusty, well-loved Mustang rolls backward with a creak, a groan, and a lot of misfiring. *SQEEEEEEEEEEEAK* goes the brake pads, and *CLUNK* *RATTLE* *BIDZUPBIDZUPBIDZUPUPUPUP* goes the V6... as the Mustang rolls forward, off to the local vinegar factory where the owner works second-shift as a pump operator. To me, whenever I see a fox body Mustang, THIS is what comes to mind. I grew up in a mobile home park in the 90s and this is largely where fox bodies came to die... even my parents owned a convertible 1984 example that always, ALWAYS broke down despite my father being a mechanic by trade. Whenever I see a fox body, I just see the ugly side of American poverty. But hey, I guess they're cool now? Great!

I remember when fox bodies were $2500. There was a factory police interceptor package one in GOOD shape that was for sale on my local craigslist for over a year. It was only $5000. This was like 2013.

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Most I ever paid for a fox out of 6 or 8 I owned was a $1000. They were a dime a dozen. Cheap thrills. Buy em and just absolutely hammer on em. We would try to break em. Get em rolling about 20 in reverse, than giv er the ol rev limiter clutch drops in second gear. That makes a great burn out. Broke a couple. Wrecked one. Sold the rest.

[@nicolem.792]

Awsome video. Back in the day people didn’t care at all about steering wheel design. They probably didn’t even notice that the steering tilt went away when airbags came in. It was a 5.0. That’s all people needed to know. The 4.6 in any cam configuration and any other mustang engine including the new 5.0 had none of the following in comparison to the 5.0 of 1986 to 1993. 5.0s were everywhere and poor and rich wanted one. That’s what people want to buy. Also, these are laughably easy to fix and mod compared to new stuff, and if you want to mod, it’s not how fast the car is at the end, it’s how much faster you made it with your wits and hands…
