I think if the headlights were flipped upside down, it'd probably would've felt more like a foxbody, but nonetheless a good design!

[@awesomeness369]

It needs the high beam and 3 fade bars like the ones now, it can keep the daytime running lights on the bottom but it would look more mustang if it had those bars 😅😅😏😏😏 but I'd gladly buy one right now with a 5.0L under the hood, not a bad looking redesign 😏😏

[@marksarvey9220]

I was thinking the same thing, flip them upside down and keep the rear spoiler.

[@ry7hym]

yeah I felt the same way

[@eternallyminded7]

Glad to see I wasn't alone in thinking this! I think slimming the headlights down was a great way to modernize it but creating an up slant instead of down lost some of the original character. Would love to see a modernized notchback version! The one Foose did was kinda lame.

i was saying when ford announced they were making a next Gen mustang i was hoping since retro styling has been based off mustangs from the 60s then 70s that maybe this gen could be a fox. I would be awesom if ford brought back a lighter weight smaller fox for this gen.

[@LIICI]

if i know ford well, they will drop bronco engine in the new fox body, no v8

[@bigstrawlearning4842]

@@LIICI and if all the safety features/regulations/bs they added since then. You know that fox will be significantly heavier than the previous fox

[@OlderthanIlookyoungerthanIfeel]

The problem with Ford bringing back a lightweight Mustang , is that they pretty much can't . Government regulations having to do with safety and fuel economy have made that impossible . The only reason companies like McLaren can make a lightweight sports car is because they build it out of nothing but aluminum and carbon fiber . Ford did build something mclaren'sh it's called the Ford GT . And even if you were allotted a spot to buy it it was way too much money .

[@symbiote_gt]

As a Fox Mustang stan, I say you did brilliant, but one little problem: You got rid of the rear spoiler and didn't put another one back. This is still brilliant anyways, so great job. I especially love what you did for the front. The headlights may be angled the opposite way, but they still have that Fox Mustang vibe. It's really something that you could pull this off.

[@Kev27RS]

[@unemployed96]

If Wish we're trying to create a foxbody.

[@carculturenation2166]

the fox has probably become the most popular mustang ever. From its light weight v8 small size it made every thing from chevy guys buy them and drop LS in ford guys built them and dodge guys loved them as well because they didnt Have much of a muscle car through the 90s. Going back to only having the corvette and mustang to choose from for american v8 muscle i think ford has to kill it on sept 14th with the release of the new mustang. Dodge and camaro guys already started jumping ship 3-5 years ago and even vette guys went and switched to fords which is crazy to see so many cross shopping. But the 5.0 coyote and its other varients like the 5.2 gt350s voodoo and gt500s predator have become the best v8s available. Ppl are pulling LS engines out of tveir drag cars and swapping ford coyote engines in their chevys and dodges. That is crazy to see but a stock sealed coyote can make up to 1200whp with just boost and fuel and get a mustang gt into the 7s in the 1/4 and v8 f150s into the 8s without ever opening the engine no heads no cams no pistons no rods no opening the engine unless you want to go big power and then factory block handles 2000hp And can make a fox run 5s in the 1/4 mile. So as long as ford gets the s650 design right and keeps the coyote going. This my friends will be the last American muscle car!!

[@awesomeness369]

You can't deny that the Coyote engines love boost, the DOHC paired with PFDI 😏😏 them babies are mean, but in my personal opinion the 5.2L Voodoo is too much of an engineering marvel to just sit on the shelf, IT WAS LITERALLY DESIGNED FOR THE TRACK and they should've twin-turboed it and dropped it into the GT Supercar, the 3.5L is an nice engine, but the Voodoo is a beast, you can easily pump 1,400 HP out of them, just dyno it to ~960 and call it a day. Just imagine how much better performing, better sounding, higher revving, V8 glory that beast would destroy any number any Ferrari could ever put down, #SryEnzo 😍😍😍

[@iCEBERG711]

[@bigdeal6852]

I have a Mustang family ! First one was a 1990 (25 anniversary) GT Fox body convertible. I changed the front grill to the open style and put a mach (fiberglass) hood on it and a cervinni wing on the back and a new top and Cobra wheels and had it repainted. Also working air flow under the hood. It was a beautiful car. Gave it to my son on his 17 birthday. He later sold it (wish he wouldn't of done it or i should of gave him the money for what he sold it for...but hey 🤷) but he needed a work truck. And he worked a whole year saving all his money and bought a 68 Fastback. Then I Bought my daughter a 98 Mustang and she only had it a little over a year and a lady ran a stop and totaled the front. She then went and got a 2001 mustang convertible. I wound up later buying a 2004 Mustang Mach 1 for myself (40 yr. Anniversary) a beautiful car. My sister bought the new 2005 mustang when it came out. 2 years later she traded for a SUV. 🤦 P.S. My sons 68 Fastback had a 6cyl under the hood (yep that's right) he rebuilt it but didn't drive it much but he yanked it out (of course he was working and driving his truck) but saved more of his money and bought a wrecked 2015 with the 5.0 Coyote moter. He then Rotisserie restored the Fastback and Put in the Coyote 5.0 with a 5 speed. He put in a lot of time and money in it...but it started right up. And it's a beautiful car ! Probably the best style car ever made IMOP. Next to the 71 Trans Am style and I had the pleasure of owning that at one time also. 👍

Well done. The design of the front of the Fox Mustang evolved a lot between 1979 and 1993, before and after the appearance of the flush headlights. Your design reminds me more the sealed beam lights era. Finally, the Fox plateform was used between 1979 and 2004 : for Mustang 3, melted cheese Mustang 4 and sharp Mustang 4. Redesign French cars please. Try with Gandini's Citroën BX, or the brilliant Peugeot 205

[@Bhaidostyaar]

Dylan who?

[@troyh3628]

So I had an idea for the headlamps, instead of making the inner lamp cluster just white for the high beam, they could also have an amber sequence that was on when the high beams were not. The corner lamp could have a forward facing angle also since the original Fox had an inner and outer pear shaped amber light that surrounded the head lamp, since they are LEDs they could also be a sequential turn signal, which would look pretty good.

[@jrzez]

Great job on this one. You know what you need to do now though. A modern-retro IROC-Z, with T-Tops. Outside of the 60's, and now 6th gen, the 3rd Gen was superb. You can't do a Fox body and not do a 3rd gen IROC-Z (the 91/92 years though Z28, meh).

Where's the 70 and 72 mustangs? I've seen people leave the mach 1 out when going through the generations before, but it looks more like a generational leap than the 65 to 67 changes. Is the mach 1 just a big cosmetic change or something? 😅

As a former Mustang II owner, I'd kinda like to see you do a Mustang II redesign, though using the HT version, the one I had was the "notchback" rather than fastback, a 1978 model, the last year of the Mustang II, and the notchback version looked a strange amount similar to the 1978 Honda Prelude. But seeing a modernized notchback Mustang II would be interesting, along with the fact I don't think modern Mustangs come as a Notchback option? all fastback or convertible I think?

[@FJDPerformance]

94/95 mustangs had the intake/vent functionality but the 96/98 models dropped it i believe because of drag on the rear wheels

There were three major issues with fox body design the way I see. 1- headlights with distorted housings. 2- the framed side windows and not the flush windows which creates non clean visual and it disturbs me a lot. 3 would the be the front wheels placement. I just want to see the front wheels right there in the front with short overhangs. I like your design concept esp the that downward intake in front of the rear fender is neat and cool addition. Would you be able to make the side windows looks more flush and push the front wheels out with short overhangs?

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

You did a great job with it. It is impossible, however it is impossible to fix what's wrong with that design. It was, truly an icon in the 1980s Wild Wild West world of cocaine, Miami Vice, and shoes with no socks. The Fox Body brought Ford it's first Indy Pace Car in many years in 1979. It made people forget that less than 5 years before, Ford almost destroyed the Mustang for every fan out there with the dreaded Mustang II. It was drastic, it was incredibly NOT FORD, and it was everything that was needed to wake the world of Automobiles up! It hung around far too long. It got old and stale and tired. After starting off with that Puny Pony with the turbocharged 4cyl, it got fat and lazy almost as soon as it got popular again. Saleen tried to fix it, Roush tried to fix it, even it's savior from the days when it was still a toddler, Carroll Shelby himself in 1997 took on a one off of his long lost Prodigal Son of a car. None of it accomplished what Ford did just by returning the car to its roots. When Ford brought the Retro design into its lineup, it not only became the most popular car in Fords line of vehicles, it became the ONLY car to survive the purge when Ford went from being an auto maker to an SUV maker. The Mustang might even survive the demise of Ford should it ever happen. If Lee Iacocca had known what he was building when he was building it, he would have also found a way to take Ford over completely and never found his way to Chrysler and saved that company. Your work, Sir, is impeccable as usual. It's just not a revival that should ever take place. There were a few cars that will always remain perfect in the minds and hearts of American automobile owners. Henry Ford's Model T, the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, the 1957 Ford T-Bird, the Volkswagen Super Beetle convertible, the GTO Judge, and the Cadillac Coupe Deville. None of these, however, will ever overtake the dream of the Mustang. The 1964 1/2 will not only always be an icon, it will go down in history as the car that changed the world of automobiles forever.
