[@FancyAnimal]

These cars are no longer affordable or "dirt cheap." That 92 GT with 120K in that condition will run you $8500-10,500, that is if you can find one. Most have been beat or unintelligently modded. You can add 30% for notch cars and 75% for '93 Cobras. I've owned several of these, and have a mint '89 GT as a daily driver. A good set of front brakes, a solid steering shaft, caster camber plates, and 3.73s is all these cars need to stay relevant. Better buy one soon!

[@kiroc89]

Fancy Animal man, You’re not kidding. And this is recent too. I sold my mint calypso on black Lx 5spd 5.0 in 2013 for $5500. It was a much nicer car all around than this one. I’ve looked for similar and I can’t touch one for less than $9k now. These guys in their late 30s who wanted these so bad or want another from their youth have some money to play with and don’t care to drop $10k on a halfway decent notch

[@Scorpion54092]

Must be your location honestly. In my state I can find multiple fox bodies for under 4k in basically excellent condition. However you won't find a notchback for under 6k in my area unless it's a p.o.s.

[@cyberspd]

My first Mustang was a 91 GT. I loved these cars. The 2 tone were my favorites. Mine was red. It had an automatic transmission. I added a shift kit and it would chirp the tires when it shifted into 2nd. I also added a pair of shorty headers and flowmaster catback exhaust. I also swapped out the stock gears for a 3.73 rear end. I'd like to get my hands on another one of these one day.

[@stefankoles]

Such a beautiful car,i love this foxbody mustangs they are awsome.

[@speedfiend925]

Quoth SubaruWRXfan, "It can be a little challenging to drive." I LOL'D at that one. YOU HAVE NO IDEA! :D Just a little personal history here. I have owned two of these cars. I owned a 1988 GT (T-Tops) 5 speed with Hurst shifter and a 1989 LX 5.0 also with 5 speed. Pro-Tip, buy the LX 5.0. It is lighter than the GT and looks stealthier other than the 5.0 callout. To say they're challenging to drive would be an understatement. When I bought the 88 GT I did not even know how to drive a stick. Imagine learning stick on a car like that! OY! With no driver aids they make the S2000 seem like a piece of cake. Remember, you've got much more weight on the front end so try pulling those acceleration runs in the rain if you REALLY want to see what a handful these cars were. In the rain they fishtail like a MOFO and god forbid you give it just a little too much gas, WATCH OUT! They were pretty much a white knuckle ride the moment things got wet out. If you can swing it, I strongly recommend you pick one of these up as a second car. They are sketchy in the rain but other than that they are a HOOT to drive!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha cool to hear your experience. Personally if I wanted a Mustang that was a handful I'd just get one from the 60s haha.

[@Dwaddell22]

+subaruwrxfan I'm 18 and have been daily driving a 1986 5.0 that's a manual since I had my license. My grandpa gave it to me and my dad wasn't very happy about it because he thought I would kill myself in it lol. I learned how to drive it on a field at my grandpas house and the first day I drove it on the road it was raining and fox body's love to kick the back end out especially in rain and I was scared to drive it in the rain for the longest time. But I put new shocks and struts and lowering springs and it helps a lot on backroads. The only problems I've had is the smog pump locked up on me and my ignition control module went out but other than that it has been pretty reliable and a fun car. Also my high school administrators doesn't like how loud it is and they always tried to accuse me for doing burnouts in the parking lot but it was never me. Except twice it was lol. But so far I've never even been pulled over so that's good.

[@Dwaddell22]

Lol I bet you had the biggest grin across you face too.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Devin Waddell Lol nice man! That's awesome.

[@johncrane3493]

Almost the same situation here. I bought a 1991 GT new and had only recently learned to drive a stick on an old Civic. I really had no business with something that powerful at the time and picked up a lot of bad manual driving habits as a result. My passengers hated riding with me because of my hard shifts. I developed a really strong left calf muscle pushing in that clutch.

[@InigooMontoya]

I was in high school when this car came out. I remember as a kid people were accustomed to big neuterd V8s with maybe 150 hp in very heavy cars. It's funny remembering people freaking out about how much power the 5.0 had...........at 225 hp. Remember this guys and gals; for car guys who like big, reliable, fuel efficient hp THESE are the good old days!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Haha I agree. I'm already nostalgic about the present, if that makes any sense lol. Enjoying it while it lasts!

I’m kind of in shock here… I had the exact same year and color Mustang. It was called Jewel green metallic, and it was pretty rare. It first popped up in 1990 on what they called the “7-Up convertibles” which were limited production. Then it became available on the 91 and 92 models. Man I miss that car.

[@user-oe2tb9pu1o]

I'm a Chevy guy at heart but damn I want one

[@MrStudly302]

I had a '91 GT with the auto trans - stock 342 gears & such. If you do get one - get the MSD Cap & Rotor - otherwise you will be changing the cap & rotor A LOT - also go with the 8mm motorsports plug wires. I put in a set of autolite platinum plugs. This car is SO easy to work on. Get the march ram air kit if you get one - and the underdrive pulleys - cheap power add-on that will gain you 25 to 35 HP. I then bumped up the throttle pos sensor voltage and put on a flowmaster exhaust. VERY FUN TO DRIVE - YOU WILL LOVE IT!

[@cheryljoyal1167]

I wanted a 89 Iroc Z Black and Gold with the TPI FI 350 5SPD but I found a 90 LX 5.0 5spd for a dollar. I couldn't pass it up it drove like a beast I only lost to a 00 Camaro SS and another 5.0. I loved that damn car

I could never leave mine alone frankly - twin turbos and stroked 302 in my Cobra along with plenty of supporting driveline, suspension and brake mods.

90 they changed the steering wheel and added the dumb pockets on the door handles. Also changed the A/C knobs. 89 was better in my opinion. There was something else they changed in the airflow sensor or air intake..... i dont remember

[@231mac]

rdiaz78065 Drive trains remained the same, except Mass Air was added in '89 ('88 for California cars) and the piston change in '93. Aside for slight cosmetic changes like you stated, same cars.

[@TheNova64000]

1990-1993 obviously had different seats and steering wheel

[@rdiaz78065]

+TheNova64000 obvious? alot of people don't know that douche

[@goodstuffohhyeah]

With how quick this 5.0 gets through the gears, it sounds like he has 3:73's in it. Didn't watch the whole vid so not sure if he mentioned it.

[@M-E-G-A]

Hi Matt. I'd like to download this video for a project. Is it alright with you?

[@tscooter22]

A properly working, stock clutch wouldn't be heavy or grab so far out.

[@jeffk464]

yeah, I was thinking the same thing. That clutch is probably end of life.

[@Turshin]

I dont think thats a stock clutch cause my centerforce grabbed high and was very heavy as well

[@HerrPoopschitz]

A clutch adjusted that high makes for easier powershifting. No diaphragm press plate is 'heavy'.

[@tscooter22]

IIRC, my '87 GT's (purchased brand new) stock clutch pedal sat out about 2" farther out than the brake and gas pedal. So, it may have grabbed late, but it felt normal to me. Again, it wasn't stiff by any means.

[@kenhackney]

I dunno, my '92 GT I bought new sure built up my left leg muscles.... But then I was brought up without the 'luxury' of an automatic tranny. Still, that GT is unlike anything I've ever driven with a clutch from 2 wheels up to 18....

[@areola9274]

Hey man been watching your videos for a while, love them but I just wanted to say that my 02 cobra was hit yesterday and totaled. I'm really sad because it was my baby. I know you just went through it with your mustang. If you have any advice id appreciate a reply back

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Wow sorry to hear that, hope you're okay. As long as you have your health that's the important thing. If they're totaling it just make sure you get a fair amount for the car and that they don't lowball you on their settlement offer. Good luck and I hope you can find something else you like soon!

[@areola9274]

+subaruwrxfan Thanks for the reply man! I appreciate your advice. It always sucks losing a part of the family but I'm gonna do my best to replace it, keep up the awesome videos!

[@jimmywest13]

02 cobra? there was only like 100 of those shipped to Australia

[@pllumajsgarages9149]

+Jimmy West yup all rhd

[@jimmywest13]

+Joseph Pllumaj that's cool af bro!

[@KTKareen]

Funny enough I just bought my first fox body a month ago. And now you come out with this!

[@schwarry1]

Love the excitement, bud! Have a 90. That smile and excitement you have is great!

[@edwardthayer9386]

besides the hacked up rear bumper that's a nice car!

[@edwardthayer9386]

Also if he replaced the center marker lights with new clear ones it will make the car look a lot better.

[@LebowskiLuva]

What is wrong with this guy? He keeps saying "1992" like it was 100 years ago.

[@Kintizen]

Noelle L he was probably born after that loo

[@paultucker1272]

Great video, Matt. Would love to see you do more older Mustang videos (I know you've done a few, but you can never have too many!) :)

[@theredhorsemen5313]

Hahaha his face when he stepped on it... Priceless... There's always that satisfaction when you press on the accelerator man Very nice review haha

[@fadedgarage6423]

stick,cheap,v8 and burnouts cant go wrong

[@gigatron2008]

Cool review! Yeah affordable. I remember looking at getting a foxbody 10 years ago. Most were rusted out and in bad shape. Prices have skyrocketed on ones in this condition. I wouldn't say affordable.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Wheeler Dealers did a FoxBody recently - they were in California and picked one up with little body issues for around $2500 - I agree though that in most parts of the US they've been ragged out and rusted if they haven't they've been turned into drag racers with an LS motor and no interior left. Not "classic" enough for the after market really to pay much attention which means parts prices are nuts.

[@nikomakras1782]

They're affordable in California

[@brianehowland8678]

+Dylan Dillon Love how many people make themselves look stupid on the internet. if you tried to search for proof on how many Fox body Mustangs worth trade it in in that program you wouldn't be to find it. And you know nothing about Mustangs, racing, drag racing, performance cars, nothing. You have no idea how popular these cars were, and still are, especially in the world of street car drag racing. Fox body Mustangs have always been insanely popular that's why they have the biggest automotive aftermarket of any car ever made. In good condition these cars are worth every penny their owners are asking for. I paid $13k for my '93 GT in 2003, and when I sold it in 2008 I made $5,000 over what I originally paid for it because it was in mint condition with low miles, and I took care of it.

[@jeffk464]

+scott warmbier - LS motor, thats sacrilege

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

Jeff K- yes I agree but it's done all the time under the auspices of easy and cheap power....

[@kingcrimson234]

Great video! I miss my dad's old '89 LX 5.0 convertible. I got to drive it a lot. I've been thinking about picking up a nice fox body for a daily driver lately so I don't have to rack up the miles on my Mach 1 getting to work every day.

[@hpinut]

great review. I have 3 foxbody mustangs and they are just a blast. thank you for the video

[@bigmoneyboss7898]

#Goals have 1k saved up so far

[@samtischler787]

Big$MoneyBoss probably the best investment you can make get an lx 5.0 hatch mine makes me smile every day

[@ordonezelvin]

My goal now too got 1300$ plus my Nissan Altima I’ll sale for 1000$

[@HyperBlueSTI]

first

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for your help man! It was great to meet up again!

[@joshvaz00]

Was that your beauty in the background? lol

[@HyperBlueSTI]

+Darkhazard yeah man

[@jonathanvazquez9685]

Hey Matt! Really enjoyed watching you drive this 5.0. Brought back so many memories of my teenage years. My first car was an 89 GT. Then I traded it for a 92 LX 5.0 hatch. Then a 95 gt. Love the torque on these cars. There a blast to drive! I had a 98 cobra too. Now I drive a Toyota Matrix, lol. Super reliable but boring. Can't wait to sell it to get another mustang. Maybe an 04 Mach 1. Sorry for the long rant. I don't talk much, but when it comes to stangs, I can go all day, ha!

[@TheDutchTexan]

Such a nice sounding car! And I love the hatchbacks! More partial to the quad eye versions, but I'd take a late one as well!

[@jimmybaggs5342]

Sounds better than the new GT 5.0

[@sapozamora7059]

its actually a 4.9 gt but whatever ha. they just put 5.0 for advertising but again whatever haha

[@AkioWasRight]

Well, the "302" Windsor was 4,942cc, but manufacturers like to round things upwards.

[@OIR339]

42 doesn't round up to 100, it rounds down

[@mark7067]

+yaseenshuja1 There's no rule that says you have to round things to the nearest 100, which is why they weren't measuring displacement in CC, they were measuring it in litres, and 4.942L rounds to 5L.

[@AkioWasRight]

***** Exactly, he's not wrong about 42 rounding down, but its called the "5.0L", not a "5,000cc", and 4.9L rounds up to 5.0L.

[@OIR339]

+Chris C so is my C63 Amg that has 6.3 badges all over a 6.3 liter when it displaces only 6,208 cubic centimeters?

[@TRUJILLOmuscle]

+subaruwrxfan intro was on point Matt. Nice job with the edits and camera shots

[@Atrus3g]

great video, loving the retro review!

[@whiskeytango1102]

Lmao, that's one ugly ass mustang

[@jeffk464]

I do prefer the 80's foxbodies

[@Turshin]

better loooking than all the models after it. only the early 2000s cobra R and terminators look better

[@ryanrohauer5940]

+Jeff K thats funny I like the 89 and 90s the best

[@lkporter1989]

Your dad shoulda pulled put

[@Turshin]

lkporter1989 lmfao...savage

[@MrMister1227]

Man these Foxbodys are so overrated

[@sneakingfox5887]

Just like the 80's?

[@richiesspeedshop82]

what do you mean overrated? they were and still are a great affordable cars when it comes to customizing as well. the notchbacks dont take much to run 12s with boltons

[@notasolution]

bruh u stupid?

[@jeffk464]

You're mom was overrated in the 80's when she had you

[@redd7188]

not the soundtrack. it sounds great

[@EyaculatorPR]

Nice video as always ,love your videos.

[@jacobn3160]

I'm really liking these older car reviews!

[@vikk5459]

I hate the Foxbody and always will. It looks like an economy car. The sound that comes out of it is unnatural. I don't care how popular they're getting, I think they're awful.

[@brettc6730]

agreed, it's ugly imo

[@luigynkaren062011]

i also agree

[@jeffk464]

Yes, but being small and lightweight has big advantages for a sports car. Big and blocky might look macho, but something sports car sized like a porsche will always handle better. By the way the original concept of the mustang was to basically drop a strong engine in an economy car.

[@vikk5459]

+mrsilent3051 I said unnatural because of the way the car looks.

[@vikk5459]

+Jeff K they didn't go with that though, did they? The first Mustang was muscular, had the looks to match the sound. The Foxbody however...

[@mengdynasty6034]

ugliest mustang ever...

[@ColAngus]

I think the 73-78 Mustang and the SN95 is uglier. :)

[@mengdynasty6034]

+Col. Angus the 70s still look ok

[@shawnwest4984]

hey meng your opinion means nothing trust me

[@mengdynasty6034]

+Shawn West hey the mustang is my favorite, just don't know where ford went with this one.

[@mengdynasty6034]

+Shawn West eh still, this is my least favorite model

[@dm-qe9xy]

are there any usb ports or cigarette lighter places ports in this car if i didn’t buy an upgraded headunit

[@lookatmattscar]

Great Review. I get to feel like you did in the video every day. 88 GT 5 Speed 373 rear with not cats. What a BLAST!
