Always good to see our friend Steve... going through some tough health problems myself, and seeing you getting on with your life,even with your health problems really motivates me, thank you.

[@scottheath9460]

He really belongs in front of the camera, his rehabilitation progress has been fantastic just by watching these videos he has come so far !!

[@SteveBrecht]

Every time I see you these days Steve you're looking more and more like your old self. It's good to see. Looking forward to enjoying many many more of these videos.

[@robertfury295]

His cadence and style, memory is definitely getting better. So great to see!

[@charlesdalton985]

The LX with the 5.0 was the hot ticket back then, with less weight than the GT (and a lower profile on the street). This one is as close to 1992 as you can get. Thank you High Octane Classics and Mr Magnante (and hope the biop comes back clear) ~ Chuck

[@brentleslie8156]

92 LX was my favorite patrol car of my career!

[@frebnewman6403]

My personal vehicle was a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0. Wild Strawberry metallic. My patrol vehicle was a 1991 Caprice. It looked like an upside down tub.

[@greggcrannage740]

I am in New Jersey, they never had those around here. How fast could you get those suckers going?

[@brentleslie8156]

@@frebnewman6403 It was good for about 136 mph. It was a welcome change from the old style “box” Crown Victoria that was my prior car that could do maybe 110 mph down hill.

[@brentleslie8156]

@@frebnewman6403 The Caprice was a good car, we had them with LT1 350s in 94-96 that would do 155 mph. I never was issued one. And I’m jealous about your 90 mustang 😀.

[@LS1007]

Sweet little pony. I remember when Ky. Highway Patrol had some of these Mustangs. Thanks Steve. Take care!🙏🏼

[@todell7008]

Michigan had a bunch too. Kentucky cop car versions were harder to spot until it was too late!

[@fishgeralding9224]

Steve, looks like you're getting around a bit better! My brother survived encephalitis years ago, in his early 40's. He's soon to be 75, works full time, by choice, remodeling houses. It takes time, but you're getting there! Keep the videos coming, we're enjoying them. 👍

[@Adrenacyde]

Steve does a fantastic job of presenting this gem. It should make someone very happy when it finds it's new owner.

[@davebarron5939]

So glad to see you Steve, wish you well, always enjoy your amazing presentations. Thanks.

[@roaddawg831]

Keep on keepin' on Steve! BTW, a slight correction - the follow on to the Foxbodies were the SN95 platform generation which was in turn replaced by the S197 generation.

[@ddwheelspin]

Feel better Steve! Love your work. ✌

[@SgtHulka_III]

I had an 87 5.0 t-top - loved it!

[@scoobyroorogers]

Very , very COOL. T-tops would have been a blast in this..

[@SillyPuddy2012]

5.0 LX notchback, no bodykit. The perfect fox Mustang to me. Just a badge and pair of polished pipes out back to tell you what’s up. That’s grown up muscle, and the proportions are so tidy.

[@jhuntosgarage]

The LX also came in a hatchback, not just the GT. Great to see you, Steve!

[@scottsiverman1324]

Thanks, Steve. You are looking better, hope you are feeling much better!

[@AlexanderCrump]

My brother and I had four Fox body Mustangs/Capris between '79 and '91. The 302 was a breath of fresh air from the slugs we had been putting up with during that era.

[@mattwhaley9917]

What a beauty! My friend's dad bought him a new '92 LX very similar to this except his was a 5-speed. First thing he did was change the cam and exhaust, was a blast! He kept it for twenty or so years with many engine swaps. Thanks Steve!

[@ChristopherOvrebo]

Late 70's to early 90's Fords had the best door closing noise

[@williampalmer8052]

If you wanted a lighter 5.0 coupe, the LX was the way to go. I'm pretty sure it was an LX notch that Revan Evan used to set those crazy low 1/4 mi times back in the early days. Too bad all these cars were thrashed so much that clean survivors cost so much. One note - the SN95 was the first to get five-lugs on all models.

[@arrowhead455]

As a GM/Mopar guy, I hated to admit the 5.0 notch was a good looking car on the street back in the day

[@millardabbott950]

Steve is the very best!

[@mikemichaud5048]

Thank you Steve!👍

[@milfordcivic6755]

The LX 5.0 was my favorite. So easy to work on and maintain.

[@fordfanatic3307]

I bought a 1993 LX 5.0 5 Spd in 1996. It was Royal Blue with charcoal black interior. Of all the Mustangs I've owned that car was my favorite loved driving it everyday!

[@ponypwr]

Sn95 1994+ the Mustang became 5 lug and 4 wheel disc brakes. 225hp was mentioned , however the 300+ ftlb torque was what helped these cars the most!

[@GrandPitoVic]

Good to see you back at it Steve. I hope you are well. I had a 5.0 Lx notch back. And a 91' T-Bird Lx Sport with the 5.0 H.O.. Great cars!!!!!

[@ricksaint2000]

Thank you Steve

[@speederz1]

its great seeing you steve we miss you at Barrett Jackson...god bless you brother...Paul from Buffalo NY

[@iNeverHadMercy]

SUBSCRIBED. Great to "hear" the Good Ole "Magnante" Voice coming back full strength !! No one does a vehicle 'detailed breakdown' better

[@jeffgriffith7003]

That car is a cream puff! I daily drive my 91’ Mustang Lx 2.3 5 speed car although I swapped in a 2.3 turbo from my old 86’ Thunderbird Turbocoupe about 15 years ago. Been a reliable and economical car all these years. Just recently I pulled the 2.3 turbo out to reseal the entire engine since it was starting to leak with its original 200k mile gaskets/seals, added a higher flow exhaust manifold and a slightly larger hot side along with a new T3 turbo and repainted the engine Ford grey as original. I’ve put a few thousand miles on it since the minor refresh of the 2.3t and it runs a little better than before and doesn’t require premium like it did before,, probably due to cleaning the carbon out and replacing the main/rod bearings and lapping the valves’ new springs, etc. In the winter I’ll put around 300lbs of sand bags in the hatch area over and behind the axle and it goes almost anywhere, also thanks to a lighter engine up front.

[@tensecondtwoii4182]

Love this guy. He's hands down the most knowledgeable car enthusiast on the planet !

[@ChuckTesta-em3xr]

So good to see you back Steve! Hope you're doing well. Take care sir and thank you for all the information over the years!

[@goldensbridgehamletorganiz6846]

A great generation of Mustangs! Steve, you're looking healthy.

[@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman]

Never been a slowstang fan but I always thought the LX looked so much better than the GT! Friend of mine had a red '92 with Ttops✌💖☮

[@bkeith269]

87 last year for t tops I believe

[@scoobyroorogers]

What a beauty. Only thing that would make it better would be the manual 5. Thanks Steve

[@terrymertz1923]

And we're back baby!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@scottmiller3025]

God bless you Steve…

[@djhaloeight]

Great to see a new video with Steve! Glad you’re feeling better and able to make videos! That’s a super clean 5.0. Always loved the hatchback with the turbine style wheels. Can’t beat the sound of the 5.0 with Flowmasters!

[@jaydawg7]

More Steve! More Foxbodys! Best. Salesman. Ever.

[@Thecommish777]

Way to go Steve! Nice video. I have a 31,000 mile 1990 7UP with the AOD. It is ONE of 4,127 ever built. These only came one way, loaded with everything. Just had mine professionally appraised at 40K so, that should tell you something about your asking price on a common notchback.

[@LORISSABOOBMAN]

Goode to see you back., Skin cancer 3 places my neck nose & back, the back one was seen by a VA dermatology, said it was nothing, it was not i had a 4 1/2 long by 1/2 or deeper trench dug out of my back.

[@cmdrflake]

One of those smooth runners which could run all day with no need to worry about your range!

[@donniebagwell9536]

My 16th birthday present was a 91,LX 5.0,still one of my favorites

[@paratrooperlane7022]

My first new car was a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 light blue 5 speed with factory headers. It was a great car.......

[@samcraig3924]

"THANK YOU STEVE" my kids miss you in the junkyard

[@jameskish4044]

Just home from the Navy in 1992, I test drove an example of this car, but did not yet have enough money down, or the credit score...Damn!

[@houseofno]

The GT was available in both convertible and hatchback, not just hatchback. There were a bunch of GT convertibles made back in the day. Only the notchback wasn't available in GT trim. Minor correction on your facts: the pony wheels appeared on all five liter V8 cars for the 1991 model year, not 1990. These replaced the finned wheels on the GT and the ten hole wheels on the LX 5.0 cars. The ten hole wheels then became a factory option on the LX four cylinder cars. Thanks for posting the video!

[@Sleeperdude]

Love those cars

[@Ron_Lockwood]

Thanks Steve,glad to see you doing better.😎

[@jasonz7788]

Really cool thanks Steve

I have a 91 Gt with Titanium Gray!!! Love Ya Steve!!

[@Shakerhood69]

I have a 92 GT that is Titanium Frost 2 tone, rare color for sure.

[@normbittner3762]

Nice, I had a 1991 just like that but in bright silver with red & black interior, power windows. Took mine up to 120 mph once. I liked the cool simple wheels and the notchback sleeper look.

Mine is Strawberry Red on Black 1990 5 speed LX Coupe. Bought it new and still have it.

[@Shakerhood69]

I still have my Titanium Frost 92 GT that l got from the original owner in 1998

[@nilla003]

Sold, a few years ago, an '86 LX, notchback, 5.0. It had every factory option and the 5-speed. Vinyl seats were the optional interior, gray with light gray piping. It had only 65K miles when I sold it. Really nice car that needed a good engine bay detailing and a respray. Fun to drive and sounded great.

[@walterrezendes5716]

Looking good my friend and as usual detailed and informative...the car whisperer 👍

[@paulviles8587]

Love the LL Bean footwear Steve!!!

[@fortyshooter1]

Very clean 1992 LX 5.0 ! Good to see you are getting around much better. I still have my 1985 LX 5.0 HO/5 spd. I ordered back in April 1985. Last year for the Holley carb and NO computer!

[@matthewpribila4813]

Great looking foxbody

[@chrish2404]

So cool much love steve

[@Nick_B_Bad]

Always love those sedans over the hatches. If that had the T5 it would be perfect!

[@ojbarberena7090]

Beautiful 5.0

[@echase3rd]

I had a 1993 LX 5.0 notchback 5-speed in Reef Blue. It wasn't very blue at all, much more of a green color. It had a grey interior. It was one of my favorite cars.

[@markmonroe7330]

Excellent presentation. Thank you. Too bad this example doesn't have the 5-speed versus the less-than-desired automatic.

[@calvincooley1074]

I've owned my 93 coupe for 25 years.

[@bb5242]

I had the exact same car, a 1988, a manual. I fell out of love with it because it kept breaking down. I pulled my back muscles pushing it out of an intersection. The clutch was sooo heavy and reverse was not synchronized.

[@charlesking1244]

Good Seeing You Back At It Steve, Yes I Remember Those, Tricky Car To Handle (In The Wrong Hands Of An Inexperienced Teenager’s Hands) With That Light Rear End, Power Respected, Was A Cool Car.. The Highway Patrol Used Them, Running Just About Anything Down Back Then..

[@slowblueoval1997]

This is a nice color combo.

[@Nick-rn7uh]

Looking good Steve I know things hurt right now. We want you to know that we believe in you and your good fight . Car crash few years back took my ability to walk for couple years after bone grafting and some other magic I am regaining my mobility I hurt every day but improvement is prevailing, this isn't about me just giving an example friend slowing down and resting is important .

[@groovealate74]

GORGEOUS!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@richki.24]

my buddy bought a 1990 or 1991 LX 5.0 and that was a fun ride ...

[@bossfan49]

Understated beauty.

[@zeke7142003]

a LX Notchback is one of my favorite Mustangs. I wanted one but needed four doors for the ease of access to a car seat for the infant child I had.

[@daney1438]

Great video

[@theodorebrooks9889]

When I was a kid that was the car to get Only problem is everybody had one Damn that brings back so many Good memories

[@phantom0456]

Oh man, a notchback 5.0 LX fox body… the BEST fox body! I love the color, too… but I wish it were a 5 speed. Such a clean and simple interior, these really were a performance car for the working class person.

[@joeygullickll8655]

Good to see you, brother!!!

[@tomoday4450]

👍🏻🙏🏻Great job Steve 🙏🏻

[@msk3905]

What a beautiful notchback, I had a 90 notch for 13 years and loved that car. Been considering another and I’m in MA but I don’t see these as $40k cars, best of luck.

[@alansimpson6847]

😊good job

[@laveth]

I have a 91 lx 5 speed. Same color even with the pin stripe. Mines a vert though with the half red/black interior. Something about these cars. Good to see one like mine.

[@ThaSilentOne420]

Had so many foxbodies im over it but still love the cars

[@harrysatin5110]

Let’s go Steve Mags!!!

[@fhwolthuis]

What a beautiful car, I like the Mercury Capri fox body most but this is very nice 👍

[@paulblack3608]

You could also get the hatchback in the 5.0 lx. I have an original, unmolested 92, black on black 5.0 hatchback lx. I've had it for 23 years and it's the best car I've ever had. I drove it daily for 10 of those years and it never let me down. I had to relocate the ignition module to the fender (like the t-bird) due to overheating but after that, it was dead on reliable. I still have it buried in the garage. Might need to pull it out of mothballs as these are becoming crazy popular again. cheers.

[@realmaindrianpace]

GT was available as a hatch back or a convertible, LX 5.0 was available in all three body styles.

[@CasperthefriendlyG10T]

I had a new 1985 5.0 LX coupe $11,800 CDN - 14.92@94mph out of the box. Cool car. Best wishes from Casper the friendly G10T

[@Mainsail333]

Now I'm feeling really old, I remember when those were new cars.

[@BAMAJiPS]

I had a 93 LX 5 speed manual notch/coupe but Oxford White exterior and a black on black seats!!! (None of that 2 tone gray like 99% of the mustangs had) Mine was black on black interior and looked amazing. 3.73 rearend (made the car insanely fun) Man I hate I sold it. Bought it with 29,000 miles on it in 1997 sigh The coupe is the gem of them all.

[@BAMAJiPS]

yes yes - I know 93 had hypereutectic pistons rather than forged... I head that 1,000 times back in the day

[@Twobarpsi]

Every drag racer wanted this exact car! (Manual transmission though)

[@mikeadie7031]

It is a pretty little car. Steve, Freiburger and Lohnes mentioned you today on the HRDW KZbin broadcast.

[@harrysatin5110]

Manual transmission, notchback, with the clear reverse lights, flowmaster exhaust, nitrous, and the Saleen whale tail wing.

[@ice_fox]

My dad had a 92 5.0 liter. He wasn't feeling it and traded it in after several months. I was so glad; that backseat was so uncomfortable. 😅

[@williambarry8015]

Steve is tough as nails🙏🙏👍

I had a 1990 and 1993 Mustang LX Notchback. Both had the 5.0L with 5 Speeds. The only options l had were A/C and AM/FM Cassette stereo. I loved those cars. Wish l still had one.

[@flashg67]

I had a 91 5.0 LX hatchback, that was red with an all black interior. It had the 5 speed manual. I bought it in 1993 with 50k miles on it. I sold it in 1996 with around 80k miles on it. The original owner had removed the 16” wheels and swapped them with 15” wheels for cheaper tires.

[@davidp2888]

A relative of mine had an '89 GT convertible. Fun little car.

[@josephbarr511]

With 2.73s, it was a low 15 sec machine at best. 3.27s would allow 15 flat and maybe a 14.9. IIRC, the distributor boot also provided some suppression of radio interference. Pony wheels arrived in 1991. However…I’m interested to know the back story why one wouldn’t order the power package if they were going through the trouble of ordering an AOD with AC. Interesting car, and I always enjoy Steve’s videos. I just have a 91 in my garage and know waaay too much useless information about it.😅

[@dom_not_torretotedesco5707]

Now if you picked up that same car with 5 speed and 3.08s from the factory they where low in the high 13’s stock, gears and a few mods you where in the 12s on a good tire. I currently own a black 93 GT 5 speed with the typical HCI gears etc, fun reliable car that makes all the right noises and can click off a high 11 second ET fairly consistent. Have a single turbo setup sitting on the shelf that will make it under the hood one of these years, but for now I just enjoy her as she sits

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

👋😂👉I got pulled over by one of those in the mid 80s by an Illinois state trooper! Hope you’re doing well Steve!🙏
