Baddest Foxbody build of 2023

[@FOXPWR93]

Fox body of the century 😮❤

[@Diesel257]

I think Top Notch gets that honor. Sick Fox none the less.

[@aturboford1]

Best looking fenders I’ve ever seen done on a fox. Keeps the original lines. I’d kill to see the build process for them

[@505speeds]

Insane build, what a cool owner and there is no better host to show it off!

[@BuiltVSBought]

You are too kind

[@michaelhaile6371]

The detail on this car is just amazing. This is up there as one of the best foxbodies I have seen bar none.

[@jamesshirley5875]

He smashed this one out of the park! Absolutely insane build! Definitely raises the mark

[@BuiltVSBought]

Couldn't agree more!

[@bfraumeni]

I've been watching Merchant put this thing together over the last couple years. Another beast. Thanks for making this video!

[@BuiltVSBought]

Thanks for watching!

[@pimpovic2]

Beautiful car. I can relate to the idea of blending a euro background with Foxbody love. I come from Euro cars, and my Fox is my first American car but they've been in my family and in my circle for decades. Surprisingly, there are so many similarities in the overall concept here, with what I'm doing with my car. That same Race Red color, Cobra tails, Recaro seats with Halos, red cage with low bars, digital dash, I have a Kaenan extended GT wing... His car is obviously way ahead in the build process, but seeing this tells me I'm on the right path. The car is an inspiration, very well done!

[@CasaLender]

I saw the car in person and wow. No words. A must see for sure.

[@puzzlefox5.076]

I LOVE that car. One of my favorite builds EVER! It's the same direction that I'm going with my build and using his car for inspiration!

[@ricardocorbie6803]

Whoa,, sweet! I love that Saleen Wings 🪽 this is a sexy build!!❤

[@BuiltVSBought]

I agree

[@richarddickerson9418]

BROO, i’m building a fox of my own and this build has been my favorite on instagram and i’ve wanted to know more abt it and now this W of a vid is made💯💯💯

[@BuiltVSBought]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@badazz99]

I’ve done alot of custom shit to my 2 Valve over the years,but when i see a build like this it just reminds me of how much of an amateur i really am 😂…Holy shit this car is Amazing…👌

[@albailey4307]

A very clean machine well done nice wheel and tire combination overall great job 👍

[@pgmurray76]

As soon as I saw it...perfection. The most subtle fender and quarter widening. Gotta have that red.

[@travisculpepper2091]

This build is so damn perfect built, It popped up in my dreams.lol.. Those basket headrests are an old school classic look! Well done my good sir! Well done!!

[@reggiejackson5732]

Hey Ken great interview on this one . The car has a one of kind build and 1200 horse. Wow. ✔

[@BuiltVSBought]

Yes it is

[@AlK69]

Absolutely perfect in every which way possible

[@Tintguy1985]

Yoooooo 📢, life got in the way for me this year. I really am glad that all of us Foxbody enthusiasts are so active. This video was great to watch. The Blue oval channel is definitely a " go to " for me . Two thumbs up 👍👍

[@michaeljohnson4949]

You ain’t wrong. JC went next level.

[@djmrrogers1]

Easily one of my favorite builds period, not just for a foxbody!!

[@desperado7111]

I checked your Fox out yesterday as well!When he first put this up on IG by far this was Fox of the year!

[@wellthatdidntwork]

Absolutely amazing foxbody. This is what happens when you think outside the box and trust in the relationship between owner and fabricators/builders. Jaw dropping build merchant svt!!!

[@BuiltVSBought]

Absolutely

[@merchantsvt2875]

Thankyou!

[@zacharyallmand2909]

@@merchantsvt2875 next one has to be in Apex Green!

[@redstang70]

And have an unlimited budget lol!

[@johnw3724]

Beautiful re-imagination of the classic Fox 5.0 GT. Very nicely done.

[@keithcee6378]

I’m not a mustang fan but I’m def a fan of this one…beautiful whip.

[@joelrivera3544]

What beautiful master piece. I love it I wish he can built mines the same way.

[@LEXXXRUGER84]

That’s a dream car, f*cking beautiful.

[@NTCMM-121-Spring24]

I been waiting on this one!! Thank you for getting it up! Most definitely the baddest fox of this year

[@BuiltVSBought]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mr.h.8363]

She's GORGEOUS!

[@downhilldaddy5282]

Red is my favorite color and those wheels 👌🏾

[@itsdeeperthancars2173]

[@williamlane6374]

Absolutely beautiful fox

[@JoeyS.-ly6cj]

[@BLACKKNIGHTMUSTANG]

Yasss that car is a BEAST 🔥 ❤

[@jphorns730]

I agree build is crazy clean ! Those window moldings front and rear are 🤌🏻 I have always wanted to do flush mount glass on my build …. Car is perfect !

[@sean6049]

Damn it's almost perfect! If only it was a Coupe.😮

[@x04svtx]

Exactly

[@terryfonz4603]

Just what the world needs another Fox body mustang!

[@mikey8396]

Yeah that's a bad fox body!!

[@yalejohnson6478]

BADD BADD BADD! That's clean n nasty "at the same dam time!"

[@WaynesBeerDelivery]

Awesome build!!

[@KeriDexter]

Amazing fox no doubt

[@alexandermcdole8464]

That's,I don't know what else to say but outright nasty 👍

[@reyrafael9217]

Bad to the bone!! 🔥

[@timmytravels23]

Wow Ken that is the sickest fox of 23 for sure. I thought I was going big with a 3” exhaust. And I love the roll cage. Must be a custom build

[@malloycade8626]

It prob has a 3 inch exhaust, 4 inch tips

[@thejester8136]

Beautiful Fox. I’d like to see it with Black or a dark Charcoal center to those wheels but still perfection

[@seanwisdom299]

Man that is impressive…. The engine bay is flawless.

[@ramoncruz9910]

Gorgeous❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍🔥

[@jasonfields302]

Amazing 😮

[@craiglewis3740]

Always appreciate you Floyd

[@robertcopes1185]

Beautiful, that svt terminator looks awesome in that custom engine bay.. love the fog light turbos.... sick fox . Ford 💪💯

[@mpineda7854]

Next level 🔥🔥🔥

[@BabyGee-u2c]

a great job it amazing mustard

[@brown723369]

Sometimes a lot of time and man hours does really Pay Off…. Nice Job

[@chrismathes3647]

This car is beautiful 😍 Don't hate on me I have experience growing up in a German family. Dad and uncles owned Porsche and fixed them, they were dealer techs. THIS Foxbody build to me reminds me of a Singer Porsche build. They refined everything on the car. It's next level 💯 👌

[@Foxbody_dee]

Wow. I’m speechless. This car is cold 💪🏽

[@BuiltVSBought]

It really is!

[@redstang70]

I follow him on IG..he has some amazing cars but this one...this one is above all. Probably my favorite fox that ive ever seen..absolutely over the top. Plus its red lol. Always wondered what he does for a living, hes clearly very successful.

[@michaelramsey1245]

Phenomenal!

[@babaoreally8220]

I’d say the best Fox of all time.Way to get around those tricky speed bumps,could have used this on my 04 Terminator after front K and suspension mods that lowered it considerably.That exhaust concert sounds quite like the Comp II’s I had.Sweet ride he has there,a joy to look at.

[@BulliKid]

I approve that car

[@HighPowerOptionsTrades]

This is a SEMA build 💎💎💎💎💎💎

[@noahanderson1192]

Seen this car in person, it was the reason I own my 91 gt

[@finewhine1599]

Very nice build!

[@alertgasper]

The nice thing about air ride is some systems allow you to change the ride, from soft luxury to race track hard, so its not just for profilin'

[@ronniehyser5.0]

Wow no other, fire

[@troylong5738]

Nice 👍👍

[@AADmrstangerbanger]

badass car but that sunroof kills it for me

[@bigpower7777]

This car is easily worth 100k… Good job mate! 👍🏽

[@crawdog02]

I actually saw this car at mustang week and it is definitely sweet

[@devonritch5940]

Love rhe Fox gauge look on the Holley dash. Where can i get that gauge program?

[@CCWFOX]

I want those hood hinges.

[@richlong4119]

Like your spice one intro 🤘

[@BuiltVSBought]

Thanks 🔥

[@LX-cg1oi]

Bad ass car... 💯

[@clydemccall8679]

This is literally the car I'm making. I have 93 fox red. I'm putting the saleen wing. So I'm like I can be different by wheels.. so I'm looking on the web find bad ass wheels. Income back to double check with his car. I picked the same exact same rims as him! Dam lol... I have to.figure. another route lol. Good looking car brother

[@cecilpass]

DAMN this is one bad Hatch. Love the windshield. Moulding. Let me know where I can buy that

[@robturner7853]

Detail is well beyond great! ITS THE VISION he had that sells it for me, No Vision , No Success!! , turbos in fogs has been done alot more than you think "if ya know ..ya know!!" Kinda wish that sunroof was shaved too " IMO". Def over the top build ,,,, All that high tech Wizardry & no remote start? Cmon Man 😉 Best of 23 ? Still a few months left lol & some you will never see nor know about. I guess that depends , so many killer builds out there & I am in no way being negative to his build, its FN Awesome!!! There are so many details of his build , maybe some missed like "Electric P/S" etc etc...things hidden to most yet relocated to a better / needed space for his purposes!! HE HAS REMOTE START, doesnt he .....🤨

[@BuiltVSBought]

Please show me a twin turbo GT with both turbos in the fog light position?

[@robturner7853]

theres plenty man....or i should say they started that way lol....after a few issues from sand , small gravel etc most people moved away from locating them there. Its an awesome build as I said! BTW you have a really nice ride yourself.@@BuiltVSBought

[@robturner7853]

You know after a lil more thought on this......hes built the perfect trailer queen!!! and thats fine ..In the real world those turbos would be destroyed via road grime ..it doesnt take much!!!facts are facts@@BuiltVSBought

[@BuiltVSBought]

@@robturner7853 you do know that this car is driven on the street though.

[@robturner7853]

thats great , I hope he adds filters to the inlet side . those screens are fine for larger rocks etc , my good friend found out what sand and general road grime size trash does the hard way..hes the biggest reason I know . He has alot of time & $$$ in that car and it is prob 1 of the best , cleanest builds ive seen in awhile. have a great day . @@BuiltVSBought

[@timotheeechols5237]

Nice build 💪🏽!

[@BuiltVSBought]

Glad you like it

[@chrismartinez7505]

👌🏼💯🔥 Great review.

[@BuiltVSBought]

Appreciate it!

[@scottiewhitehorn5376]

Damn that's bad bad bad, does it get street driven or just a show car? Either way it's a super sick build it would probably be hell trying to get insurance on it

[@BuiltVSBought]

Both

[@merchantsvt2875]

Little bit of both, took it down the track up that way for 6 passes on Thursday

[@out_foxed_gt]

Agreed 🔥🔥🔥

[@joshreynolds729]

I know he said it started as a 302 then went to cobra block but then said that motor was put into his cobra so what motor is in it now? Good video beautiful car.

[@kyleboland963]

Time I seen the car I was like that look damn near like merch foxbody😂..... started the vid lmfao yep its him 😂... I still love the pumpkin though omg I want that set up

[@twinturbo421]

That dash and gauge system... Is that one piece or did you have to order it and have someone put it together!?? I want exactly that!

[@merchantsvt2875]

Custom built in Holley

[@twinturbo421]

@@merchantsvt2875 Sure is beautiful 😁🙏👍

[@DanielSanchez-mi7be]

YOU CAN GIVE HIM THE BEST OF 23 IT IS WORTHY.

[@matmurray7351]

Beautiful car, can't imagine what it would cost someone to build

[@redstang70]

Hes easily well into 6 figures i would imagine....and worth every penny

[@Luisvegabroker]

Nice build , what motor is that ?

[@lovesterblackmon9289]

How do it hook up from a stand still with the 355 rearend gear ratio

[@kennethwellington9547]

Dumb question if the fog lights where getting chipped how are you going to keep the turbo impellers from getting chipped unless you put some filters in front of them?

[@denzelbutler6713]

Man that's 1 BADD!!! ASS!!! Fox body done right!!! you got it to perfection!!! in every way,it's MODULAR!!! 4 v or go home the hell with pushrod engines theirs no comparison imo lol

[@24theMoney]

What a clean build, totally awesome. I'll let it slide that its got GT ground effects. Cleaner LX hatch would have been more badass IMO. Bravo.

[@Mikey_Man]

Hi need some direction. Can you give me name of shops for fox build? Thanks

[@desperado7111]

How was he able to crank it without pushing in the clutch?

[@malloycade8626]

Running Holley ECU

[@merchantsvt2875]

Magic 😏

[@darnicebriggs5023]

No wipers woww.strickly sunshine drives

[@Theboostedhatch]

Man after seeing this car in person and voting for it myself. How in the hell did it not win??

[@newfie-dean5803]

Would have been good to know what size wheels and tires he’s running. Would like to see this one underneath on a lift. Sweet car.

[@bigneutron77]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Somebody tell me about those hood latches. I want that style but can't find anything.

[@kingcolga266]

Estimated cost of build?

Yeah yeah..
