I’ve worked on lots of these cars and this one is very clean for its age and I would almost say that it’s 43k miles just looking at how clean the interior and undercarriage looks. So sad that someone let this car sit outside but it’s going to be a nice resto! Can’t wait for more updates.

Edit: I wrote the above comment while I was watching the video. Little did I know at 28:34 (only a minute later!) the REAL shiznit would happen.

[@aml2011]

I have a 91 Mustang LX, that seems to have a similar problem, where it's losing fuel after a few minutes. Likely the fuel filter, or the placement of the sending unit - which you video helped me to identify. Sadly because I couldn't identify those issues prior, it's been sitting for nearly 6 months. Thank you for your enthusiastic adventure! I hope to get my Mustang running again.

Thinking why not push auto tech schooling with some of the younger people ?! They could help themselves with their own cars and make a little income, if not a full time job but maybe with a excellent paying part time , side job . Not to mention an enjoyable job with gratification .Then I get back home and find this channel mentioned and had to check it out. Very well done and it has motivated me into pursuing my first love ( my 2nd love distracted me and kept me from my 1st ! but she's gone now, thank God) and that 1st was working on cars.

I recently revived my own '87 Fox, funny to watch you guys go through a lot of the same stuff that I did. In a pinch you can jump the starter solenoid to crank any Ford of this era. When you're replacing the distributor cap and wires, you should remove the sprout connector and bump the timing to 14 Degrees at idle, it wakes the stock cars up a bit, it's probably still at the stock 10 Degrees since nothing else looks like it's been touched. Can't wait to see the first burnout.

[@rpmfreak9150]

My oldest sister had a brand new 1990 Fox body GT, that was strawberry red with the five speed transmission. We went to Mountain View Ford in Chattanooga Tennessee, and I helped her pick it out. Even though it only had 225 HP and 300 lbs of torque, it was a very fun car to drive. It's hard to believe that we have cars like my Chrysler 300 SRT8 now, and the 2021 Super Stock that I just sold that had over 800 HP. That was a little bit too much for the street, but damn it was amazing how quick you can hit triple digit numbers on the speedometer. My wife said that I was going through a midlife crisis whenever I bought it, but she helped me get over it really quick after she drove it the first and only time. LoL That's okay because there is a RAM TRX that I have my eyes on, I'll have to hide the paperwork from her this time. She'll never want to drive it, because she hates pickup trucks thank goodness.

We are currently filming content on our 86' Fox after smoking a Deer 🦌@ 85mph & braking from 110. We are also reconsidering an abandoned 88' Fox we filmed earlier.....so much to get too !!!

Those are truly bulletproof engines! I've a few fox body mustangs, they are hard to kill

[@jochenstacker7448]

Normally when I see these "first start after XX years" videos, I want to put my fist through the screen at the sheer ignorance and idiocy on display, like "let's just throw a starter pack on here and give her a good ole' krank, wow, why did the engine destroy itself?" This is done with great care and sympathy towards the car. I love it.

[@cjmarsh504]

I know I'm a few days late, and I'm glad that you're recovering the foxbody mustang. I still love this body style.

This car is a prime candidate for a dry ice cleaning. Great job

[@jordanmercier3616]

Alex has been killin it with the content. One of the best car channels on KZbin, Legit.

We want to see more of Eli! This is a genuinely feel good video especially when that engine started running and kept on ⚡️😎

This really brings me back. I've owned an 87, 89, and 93. All GTs. My favorite was the 89. I don't currently have one but I could definitely see myself having another Foxbody in the future.

If it's from the weat, places are a lot more spread out. If it has 143K miles, it's probably a lot of highway miles based on all the wear indicators in the interior.

This is pure epic an iconic 80s muscle car it should be returned to its former glory 👍🏼

*pony car

@@JaysRandomnessChannel Muscle car 💪🏼

@@Nick-1992-SRB nothing muscle about a pony car son...

[@Nick-1992-SRB]

@@JaysRandomnessChannel Na na man you got it all wrong 😑 they have always been a hardcore muscle car besides the 4 bangers goodbye 👋🏻

[@JaysRandomnessChannel]

@@Nick-1992-SRB dude... you're just proving you don't know shit. If that 92 in your username is the year you were born, I completely understand. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@robertwhall]

Reminds a lot of my ‘87 GT, same color. Mine hadn’t been driven in 4 years, started recently. Been driven very little over the last 20 years. 64k miles

[@towman2068]

Alex you rock , the fact that you help people is awesome , I wish we had someone like you in so cal . Over here people are not really that helpful well atleast few and far between . Hope one day you can come down and visit I know people would love to have your help and knowledge. God bless brother . And for Peter as well and camera dude 😁

[@AzuraiAeon]

this is awesome. it is incredibly hard to find a clean(not physically clean) fox body, but seeing one like this.. ahhh man. awesome

[@dexm8846]

Those cars don't have the software and super sensitive engine components to glitch and go bad to cause the cost not to function, plus cost you a fortune to repair. I am keeping my old schools they are very dependable and easy to repair.

[@Kevhead7]

Watched this from start to finish. I was on the edge of my seat. How will this end? Did anyone get hurt during filming? Does the little stang get rolling? This was epic!

[@soulless_slayer2396]

Oh

[@whitelx]

I knew that ignition switch needed replacement from the first time he tried to start it and said it had a sweet spot. That is a very common failure on 80s-90s Fords. The switch falls apart and causes all kinds of issues. That could be the reason it was parked in the first place.

[@Bonerfyed]

Brings tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful car! I love the fox body mustangs.
