INSANE! Notch 5.0 back fox body with just 4,054 ORIGINAL MILES!

[@mtoddschultz]

Wheels are absolutely the perfect match for that car! Gorgeous!

[@ahiraband3939]

Dang thats what i been hunting. Love the 4 eyenotches

[@pete1003]

Nice Mustang I've been rebuilding Fox bodies for years. Ford never made anything called a notch though. It's a two-door Coupe!

[@andrewlopson3394]

My late '85 port fuel injection 5.0 has that same buzzer--One of the most annoying sounds ever in the history of mankind...yet somehow I love it nonetheless haha.

[@lsh3rd]

I unplugged mine!!

[@googleusergp]

Worse is the modern Super Duty "key in buzzer" chime. Whenever I do a vehicle inspection at a vendor for one of those, I have to pull the key out of the ignition. LOL.

[@ricardomendez4106]

Love it. my 1st 5.0 was a 79 Cobra hatch with a 4 spd. Soo simple, no AC just with pull vents for air. Different era for sure.

[@02WIFE]

My first car was a 1979 mustang ghia 5.0

[@DriftyBits]

That's awesome, that holley sniper setup is exactly how I want my Pacecar. Something that has much better driveability and power than stock, but still can give the appearance of a stock setup. This car is phenomenal.

[@The_One_Over_There]

wow. Just wow. The 4 headlight models, with early tail lights, and being a coupe. It's my #1 pick whenever someone asks me what my favorite foxbody is. And In this shape? Juist...Wow. Amazing to see. Also love the upgrades it has, just to make it better. But i really wish it had smaller rims just to make it look a bit more stock though.

[@lsh3rd]

I think this thing is the pinnacle of the malaise era! I can’t believe how different it is to my ‘86 notch.

[@EffequalsMA]

I had a 79 Ghia 5.0 4 speed, TRX, white leather gut notch back in the day. Missed that car so much I rescued an 86 base coupe from the junkyard which I currently have and runs awesome.

[@googleusergp]

It's surely in nice shape for the age and well taken care of, that's for sure. The production date is up at the top of the door decal in the left top corner. As others pointed out, that's "deep pile" carpeting, not shag. Shag was more what you would find in a 10th Anniversary Trans Am (22 oz Tiffany carpet by J.P. Stevens) or in a Cadillac of that vintage. With the VIN, we win: 9 for 1979 model year, F for Dearborn, MI assembly, 04 for Mustang Ghia coupe, F for 302 CID V8 with two barrel and the rest is the production sequence. The Dearborn MI plant assembled Mustangs up through the end of the 2004 model year. Today's Rouge Complex encompasses whatever is left of the old Dearborn plant. Since the 2005 model year, Mustangs have been assembled at the Flat Rock, MI plant. In various years, they could have been assembled at Dearborn (2nd digit of "F" in the VIN as seen here), Metuchen, NJ ("T" code, the plant closed in 2004, also called Edison Assembly), or San Jose, CA ("R" code, also called Milpitas Assembly, closed in 1983). With the tag, you can brag: 83 for Light Chamois exterior paint, 66H for Mustang Ghia two door coupe, possible 4T for Brown/tan vinyl top, possible 10L for Tuesday, October 10, 1978 production scheduling/completion, ST for tan vinyl interior trim, A for factory installed air conditioning, 4 is for AM-FM MPX radio without CB, so the 8 track may have been dealer installed, B for 2.47:1 rear axle, non-locking, 4 for C-4 automatic transmission, and 56 for possible Davenport, IA sales district. I'd rather have (and I own) a 1979 Trans Am than a 1979 Mustang. You could get 4-wheel disc brakes in a Trans Am in 1979, a bigger engine, better options, and overall due to it being the last year for the 400 CID V8 (which is what I have), more collectable. Yes, the 1979 Mustang was new and the 1979 Trans Am was dated, but the Mustangs wouldn't start getting "good" until fuel injection came along. A 1979 Mustang with a 302 was pretty anemic, but back then, nothing was a rocket ship out of the box, although my 1979 Trans Am holds its own.

[@scottglaister158]

wow sweet ride ! my dad had a 81 capri rs loved it

[@chrisstephenson8311]

Love the 4eyes…my first mustang was a 1984 gt turbo 5spd! Loved that car👍🏻

[@garybrown4671]

Holy crap that's clean! Nice upgrades!

[@mustanga4363]

You forgot to point out the flat one year deck lid. I’m amazed that car still had low miles with how many owners it has have. I’m glad it’s still stockish.

[@robertsine8812]

It’s incredible,, absolutely dig it..

[@andyd5492]

Only able to watch a few seconds of the video but will get back to it later. Have you ever seen anything more 70's? 😀

[@Nunya_Beezwax]

Gorgeous car!! My older brother had a Carolina Blue, 1979 LX notch, with the 2.3 turbo. This brings back some awesome memories.😊

[@chrisstephenson8311]

Wow a soft top ghia 😳 love the sve meshies 👍🏻👍🏻

[@robertsine8812]

Very much enjoyed it yes, thank ya Sir for doing it. Wicked piece right there. Excellent find.

[@glennramsey917]

I love it .. the only thing i would have done different is i would have bought black wheels exactly like whats on it .. its still beautiful just the way it is !!!

[@killerpanda8399]

Sweet I had a 79 Fairmont 302 with a srod 4 speed with the same interior. Wish I still had it.

[@mat13174]

My first was a 79 notch in tangerine. This one brings back a lot of memories.

[@headhoncho4890]

Too cool . The wheels look like they were made for it

[@paulhudgins5120]

Way too damn cool, reminds me interior wise on my mom's 81 Fairmont dash, gauges, climate controls, and to be honest I didn't think they had 5.0L in 79, well you learn new stuff every day.

[@bobgreenhalgh7324]

Right on awesome, Thanks

[@NotchFox]

Had a 1980 T-Bird. Drk brown with this color vinyl top and interior. Actually pretty fun car. Good milage on highway, and enough power. Wish I could buy it new today!! If I remember correctly it had the 4.2 V8, and the 4 sp. AOD worked perfectly. The tail light lenses did fall off though. Had to bolt them on! Lol

[@sheehy933]

Man oh man oh man. Killer car.

[@chrisstephenson8311]

I had a 1978 ford fairmont factory 2dr 302 v8👍🏻 had aluminum bumpers and I believe was the first car to have the fox platform👍🏻

[@googleusergp]

Yes, the 1978 Fairmont and Zephyr were the first Fox platform vehicles.

[@67stangracer]

you forgot about the 79 only flat trunk lid! also i know of a 4650 og mile 79 in line 6 notch ! black with hounds tooth interior its been in the same family since new and hasnt even left the town it was orignally sold in! its cool to find the low mile cars

[@adamcartwright6220]

Sweet ride man! I really love that combo. Definitely don’t see them like that anymore!

[@burnout9674]

Very cool, The very first fox I saw when I was a little kid was a 79 Ghia coupe in the same color combo. My neighbor bought it for himself, the year before he bought his wife a 78 Ghia that was the light chamois over dark chamois paint scheme. They really liked that ugly color, lol. This one brought back some memories for sure!

[@metaljew4456]

I owned my 1986 Mustang GT for 36 years!. I sold her for $10K and bought a Corvette.

[@Shakerhood69]

That thing is in phenomenal shape, looks like it had a 3G Alternator added at some point.

[@wadestewart901]

That's a beautiful car!

[@chetzeidler9517]

One amazing ride.

[@markmayer948]

Joe had that car for a brief minute it’s had 400 miles put on it since

[@toddclark332]

Definitely the start of was is badass all over for Mustangs thanks bud have a great week later

[@bradkrekelberg8624]

That's awesome. That's kind of what I'm leaning towards for my future project cars. Just something that's old, but nice. Chasing performance has been nothing but a headache for me. My first car was a '79 Ghia notchback. It was white with a chamois interior. The outside was rusty but the inside was still pretty nice. It had the I-6 though, so it was ridiculously slow. At the time (1994) I hated the interior color, the fake wood... I couldn't wait to get something else, haha. I did have some fun swapping in interior parts from '83-86 cars which were PLENTIFUL in boneyards at the time.

[@jasonlindon3675]

A notch back with a vinal top now I've seen it all.

[@LeachimSagrav333]

My first mustang was a ghia light blue with the white vinyl top and a 2.8 and later a 5.0. Miss that car

[@parkersgarage4216]

pretty cool car for sure

[@aPeezy79]

The trunk lids were a little different on the (I believe) '79 to '82 also. They are completely flat vs newer models have a slight swoop on the back edge

[@michaelshawnbarrett4285]

I have my 80 notch L6 love it!

[@curtismccombs2212]

Some window tint to help block the sun and what else can you do?! 🥵

[@1KingWood86]

Thing is mint!! Beautiful car.

[@jeffreychristianson9134]

Was that an 8 track ??? That is so cool

[@jeremymaness8770]

those wheels🤌🤌🤌🤌

[@trent12363]

It would be cool to convert the 87-93 door panels to older style ones. If it's possible.

[@dmh1367]

Very enjoyable!!

[@luecreative]

Gahhh I love this car so much.

[@paulspencer2283]

had a 79 pace car. rebuilt the engine. cammed it, torquer 2 intake with a holly 650 double. it was the fastest on the streets around here until i took her into two consecutive trees. the sad thing young and dumb and i have the police photos.

[@davebowman8537]

I have a 05 GT mustang with 4,500 Miles on it my dad bought it new in 05

[@bama_5.051]

Beautiful 😍

[@76v8jeep]

That is the ugliest color combo I’ve ever seen, I love it!

[@thruitallauto2538]

I had a 82 notch in 93, if I would’ve only put it up, sold it for $300,

[@mattoliver7650]

Off by 1 year. 44 years old is 1980. 45 years old is 1979.

[@garybrown4671]

The build date might disagree with you. We are already building next year's trucks at my work.

[@voodoochildsj1]

Sweet

[@DEONBIG]

I had a white 1979 white with red leather interior 5.0 notchback Ghia 4 speed. Still have the original 2v 302 engine though anyone interested🤷

[@angrygaragemechanic]

Awesome 👍

[@mikejohns3104]

How fast can it go over speed bumps before losing control?

[@JerryMolina-ry5lq]

Deep pile carpet not. shag

[@googleusergp]

Correct. It's deep pile. Shag is like "poodle hair" on a poodle type dog. Deep, and very soft fibers. Those fibers are rougher cut.

[@CalypsoCoyote]

Just begging for a Godzilla swap 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@bobbyyenke1598]

Coyote swap. Just kidding

[@robertwilliamson2596]

How much is you willing to sale the mustang for..

[@maxpaul11]

I remember those mustangs! They were ugly as f! Far from original now! It came with basic wheels for Start. What a time warp for sure! Many were like this!

[@davidgentz1731]

Well that's an ugly color it's a beautiful car

[@mechanictaft4848]

Garbage literally one of the worst riding interior looks like diarrhea its a mustang so fkn what only thing they are good for is drag racing .my 69 boss 302 that is a real mustang
