The Next Foxbody Style You Should Invest In! - TIPS04E99

[@FOXPWR93]

GT's are the best in my opinion. When I was a kid my neighbor had a white 93 gt took me for rides in it and I feel in love. Finally 20 years after those car rides I got my own mint condition white 93 gt and I'm in love with it.

[@robertfisk8344]

I definitely agree I am the proud owner of an all black and gray interior 89 GT supercharged 306 had it since 2002 been sitting in my race car trailer with the motor out it's not out in the rain or any bad weather so it's sort of like time capsule and I am so happy to have come across this video and hear your insight about GT's great video thanks again

[@mikehartwick8499]

You're 100% correct. GTs were the must have Fox. My dad said that I should get the notch, I said not a chance, then he said you wait, they will be the most desirable of all of them. He was right. He even said at a Ford dealership that the most desirable fox notch would be the black on black with no options. The car was $11,000 back then. I wish he would have bought it. He knew his stuff!

[@89gt5.0]

As a owner of a clean 89 gt black on black that I’ve had for 18 years I approve this message 👍

[@IIIsticksone]

I got my GT two years ago. It took me a long time to find a clean one with a stick shift which is what I wanted. It has been a lot of fun and I hope to keep it for a long time. I agree with everything you said.

[@midnight347]

I had a clean 89 gt 5 speed hardtop back in 2004 115k straight clean title I sold it for 3500. Seeing prices on them currently makes me sick to my stomach lol. It was Oxford white with a red pinstripe and red interior. Had 3 foxes but that one was definitely the cleanest and best condition top to bottom.

[@ryanthorburn4244]

I've had coupes convertibles and lx hatches as well as gts but the gt has always been my favorite looking for another at the moment. Currently I have a built 1980 ford fairmont wagon

[@lloydgreen4091]

I know you're talkin' Aero Years, when I got into foxbodies about 4 years back didn't know my '84 T-Top GT was... so *few around* until I started watching foxbody car shows. Lucky to see 5 out of a 100 4-eyes. lol Let alone it being a T-Top that I "Stumbled Into." lol

[@fastbacksaloon1436]

Totally agree brother. You are correct, the special and rare ones (Cobra, Saleen, SAK cars, DECH) will always outperform the others, but I also think the "Nice" LX's will continue to increase. But for sure, the GT's will begin to dry up and as soon as the nice ones are snatched up.....so go the Prices!!! Keep up the great Foxbody content!!! Joseph

[@blackgtfoxovert6104]

So I have a GT convertible. So I should be all set then. That was well said. This is my fifth one and my first GT. Love the fog lights and the body kit. Especially the cheese graters.

[@TheInfamousProject]

Set it and forget it 😂

[@wayneselman9481]

I've had my GT for about 32 years. Pwr windows, locks, lumbar, sunroof, cassette radio with amp plus equalizer extra sound deadening underlayment.

[@foxperformance4536]

I have an 87 GT I wish I had power windows and locks lol it didn’t even come with AC from the factory it was barebones

[@TheInfamousProject]

Rare one!

[@patsfan8057]

Have had my 88 GT vert for 20+ years now California car so it had mass air from the factory Lots of work done, by a professional shop. Original engine rebuilt and bored .060 over, HCI, headers, gears, aluminum driveshaft and radiator. Saved all the original parts in case I wanted to return to stock, 🤣 If not for the Cobra wheels and wide low profile tires, you'd think it was stock, until you opened the hood. Best bang for the buck then and now. Hold onto to yours, they're only going up in value.

[@bobfalfa76]

Man I've been saying this for a couple yrs now, ppl look at me like I got 3 heads when I say it but I firmly believe the 87-93 GT cars are the next ones to invest in. I was always a 85/6 GT and LX hatch guy but I have a whole new appreciation for post 86 GT cars, I love them now, only took 34yrs,lol.

[@TheInfamousProject]

Ha that's awesome! Thanks for your feedback

[@harveymushman8209]

86 red convertible 5.0 MIssy drove in Bill and Ted’s excellent Adventure. Love that car and I ended up buying an 85 gt hatch in 1990.

[@fd-vy9up]

Infamous you are right on the money sir I have an 88 gt all original fully loaded with 90.000 miles for 29 years and an 1995 SN95 for 5 years they say 94 95 is the next collector cars the last year of the 5.0

[@robertc1220]

Enjoy your channel, GT 5-ohs have always been my favorite mustang. Own a low mileage GT 55,000 miles, can't get it out before someone won't to buy. Wishing I had bought several.

[@foxinabox761]

Funny man I’ve been saying this for a while now, I got a 1993 reef blue gt in absolute stunning condition which is for sale at the moment and I get nothing but people bashing me saying it’s not a cobra. Then proceed to tell me what they are willing to pay lol Growing up I was not a fan but the 93 reef and electric red gts always caught my eye. Got my heart set on an electric red gt with black top and leather but been looking for years as it is

[@jamescarter7620]

I agree with everything you are saying...the GT in the picture at the beginning of your video..is the exact color to my first GT......I bought in 1989.it was a 88.back in that year there is no way I would have had a LX..I didn't get a LX until almost 10 years later.as far as the jelly been SN95 I hated that car it plowed like a dump truck in curves and it was so down tuned..that a little grànny in a Toyota could out run... it's not a bad looking car if it would have come with about a 100 more Horsepower I could have maybe liked it maybe 😁

[@vixen5_oh366]

I got lucky and grabbed mine before the huge market hit. I was able to get mine for 10k early 2020. And you’re right finding a clean gt is almost impossible to find.

[@chetzeidler9517]

Enjoyed the video...can't wait to see where the ole Foxes head from here.

[@ponyupgarage2960]

I think you are spot on the GT is next then the verts. Personally when the fox was new they GT was the one to have. By around y2k it became dated to me and I started to like the coupe and lx hatch better. Well now as time has gone on im again a fan of the GT and cheese graters 😝

[@parkersgarage4216]

i just picked up a 91 gt w factory sunroof option and of course its a stick lol. it has shorty headers, full exhaust, 410 or 11 gears, short throw shifter, gray interior, has a cervini twin turbo hood, and even still has the cheese graters. it was originally red but was painted black with dark gray stripes. the engine is stock never opened and there is no rust. the seats are in really great shape and only need a cleaning. the biggest thing it needs is a headliner which is nothing. has little over 120k on it 123k to be exact. has 2 gauges in the a pillar pod. silver cobra r 5 stars on it also. i paid 5600 for it which after looking for one for quite some time is a damn good deal. guy i bought it off of owned it for 25 years. it isnt my first fox though. im pretty excited to be back in a fox though for sure. especially for a good price which is quite impossible today. the paint on it now is good but i kinda want to return it to the oem red. we'll see though thats for sure. back in the day the gt was THE car to get period. almost forgot it has shaved door handles as well. problem is he lost the remote and i have no idea how to go about finding a remote that works.

[@jpp9846]

Great insights. Vert prices are already ridiculous. Just from a year ago! Got a friend wanting one, I've been on the lookout for him. I've already told him, be prepared to pay $2-3k over last year's prices. It'll be interesting to see Spring 2022 prices The GT parking/fog light mod 👍🔥

[@briandentguy3403]

I feel the same way that you do with the sn95 cobras and specialty models. They are really beautiful cars especially when modded right looks wise.

[@streetcarmedia660]

I've had my share of lx foxbodies from hatches to coupes even 1 ssp coupe. But out of all those foxes I owned one GT. It was the smoke grey with the titanium on the bottom. Red pinstripe around the moldings. Also had the red interior with the tweed seats. I picked up that car in 2010 for $3300! I still wish to this day I kept it. So that being said, I am on the hunt for another one! Or if I can find that very car I will buy it on the spot. But for now, I just got out of a car payment with my 2013 Mustang GT in grabber blue. While the search is on for a fox, I am focusing more on getting my new garage built and business going. Then I'll be able to find that GT I have been desiring.

[@pdandy88]

I just picked up a 1991 GT with a 331, p1sc procharger, Holley terminator x, and a t56 magnum.

[@chucklentz9983]

I have a 87 GT vert with manual trans, manual windows, no cruise, no radio.. I need to do a Marti Report for sure but I think it's an ordered car. I would love to have a GT hatch tho

[@esppics21]

What about 87-93 GT with T-tops?

[@reypacheco3547]

I have a black 87 gt with t-tops that I've had since 1995. Can't wait to see videos on the infamous project 88 t-top.

[@WRJ63]

I bought my 87 GT back in 2015 just before the prices started to go up and the reason I got the one I did was because almost all of them were completely clapped out, one had a barrel latch from a gate keeping the passenger door closed and they wanted (if I remember correctly) $2500 for it now because it had a bunch of aftermarket go fast parts on it, my 87 was completely stock AOD with manual windows and mirrors BUT power locks, cruse control, and rear window defroster in Scarlet Red and red/black interior and I picked it up for $2300 now a parts car is going for that much! I agree the GT's will start to become the hot one to have since I'm old enough to remember that the GT was the one everyone wanted back when these cars were new but they were expensive! then 10 years later as they became just old used cars many High Schoolers bought them and subsequently beat them to death! my guess is that most 5.0 Mustangs have been though High School at least once and probable more than that! Also Bill and Teds excellent Adventure had a vert in it.

[@TheInfamousProject]

[@rhealbrisson1773]

My uncle used to own an 88 gt, I never saw the car in person but I’ve seen it in photos, and it made me want a foxbody. I ended up getting my 85 gt t-top because of it, and I’ve been trying to convince him to get one once again, maybe this will help him.

The GT’s are very hard to find,I’ve seen notches that come out in the nice weather every once in a while and hatchbacks. More 4 cyl lx’s then anything but to see a nice GT it’s the rarest.I’m a lucky guy to have a emerald green on titanium. I love my GT and get compliments everytime I’m out with it. You also have to keep in my there was no 4 cyl GT’s all of them had factory v8’s. I love all foxbodys and have had a couple notchbacks but this GT is my fav.

[@emmettsampey5046]

Im with you on the fox gt cars.. i also think the new edge cars are gonna do really well

[@inerceptor]

While I’m not going to disagree with you about the Gt’s. I bought my first Mustang new in 1993. I had the choice of a Gt or a Lx 5.0. Since I had been hanging with the street racing crowd it was known that the Lx’s were a bit lighter. So, I went with the Lx 5.0. I always liked the way the tailpipes were exposed. Either way, enjoyed the video.

[@midnight347]

I think a cobra rear wing and bumper along with lx tailights really make the gt look alot better and cleaner and more modernized imo.

[@Staytuned405]

[@Jay-nn6vm]

What about a 1987 lx 5.0l t-top? I have one, and for years I have not been able to find many of them. From what I understand, it’s the first year of the body change, from 86 to 87, and the last year of the t-tops FOR the LX. The GT was discontinued and early, 88 from what I understand.

[@midnight347]

@@foxgarage8505 the lx is the more sought after one they usually sell higher but what he's saying in this video is the gt will continue to rise more over the years and may actually equal it or overtake it in the future. Nobody is bashing an lx or at least anyone who knows what they're talking about aren't bashing them. We all know they are the most sought after ecspecially the notch that is why they go for what they go for

[@bigjay369369]

You forgot the most important convertible mention when vanilla ice said...rollin in my 5.0 with the drop top down so my hair can blow!

The movie Friday had a gt drop top it was the car they thought was gonna do a drive by just before the van came by and actually did the drive by. It was a black on black car lowered with dark windows.

[@gearheadfred5.059]

I'm sorry, but the GT's were the boy racer Mustangs back in the day. Everyone I knew, including myself, liked the cleaner look of the LX, usually a hatchback. In my opinion, I didn't like the ground effects Ford put on them, but it was the 80's and everybody was doing it.

[@Anthony-rv3hr]

It's was always about the GTs.

[@reddysteddy2030]

Everyone has there own opinions. For me personally I think with a muscle/pony car the cool factor is buying a stripped down no power options v8 under the hood and a stick shift. There light and built for one thing. Back in the day if you bought a GT or cobra you had the cash. But the street racers and guys who actually drove the cars bought an LX.

[@midnight347]

I mean I get what you're saying the lx is the more performance oriented option ecspecially the notch but they are hard to find and pretty expensive now and the performance isn't that much different between them. Weight matters but there isn't THAT much weight difference between them. I prefer the lighter model too if picking but like I said there isn't a huge weight difference between them. Just like the 94 up cars they are heavier but not THAT much heavier and still way lighter than today's cars and the 94 up cars are built better inside and out and come better equipped with 4 wheel discs, 5 lug, stiffer chassis and alot more room for wide tires etc etc and can be had much cheaper right now compared to fox bodies. The 96 up mod motor cars are more ideal for coyote swaps also since you can reuse alot of the oem components that have to be swapped when swapping a fox. The sn cars are the ones to get bang for the buck wise and they can really look badass with the right mods.

[@randybelcher6693]

Vanilla Ice, Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze! I wanted a GT when I bought my LX but the ones I looked at were clapped out and too much money.

[@midnight347]

The lx isn't that much lighter. It is quicker ecspecially a notch but they are expensive and hard to find there isn't THAT much difference between them people kind of exxagerate the weight difference honestly. It's not like there is a 500 lbs difference or something its prob less than 100 lbs between a loaded gt hard top and a stripped lx.
